CFL Grow with Big Buddah Cheese Automatic

[Garybhoy11]

Day 3 since potted and seeing good growth so far, i added another 100w cfl today so in total ive got 550w of lights so far and more will be added in time,

i also popped the Blue lemon thai seed in water to germinate today so hopefully that will be getting planted tomorrow as i feel i can fit 2 plants in my current grow space

 

[Garybhoy11]

so my Bio Bizz Nutrients arrived today, got a couple quick questions can anyone advise me about how much to use and what dilution ratio and how often? when to switch from grow to bloom and bloom to top max? and also how early do i start using them in the grow?

if there is another thread about this anywhere can u point me in the direction lol cheers ppl

 

[Garybhoy11]

so ive germed the Blue lemon thai seed and potted it this morning so hopefully see it popping up in a day or so
ive also ordered Blue Grape and Dinafem Cheese from attitude and will be adding these in soon when they arrive as im gonna convert the other 2door compartment in my cupboard to a flowering chamber,

ive not got any odour control mate i cant afford a decent carbon filter at the minute but the grow is in a spare room that has windows open all the time and on 2nd floor so no chance of passers by smelling it i hope,
i found the biobizz feeding chart on google so will follow that and see how i go.

 

[Garybhoy11]

so i started with a 300w dual spectrum cfl then added 3 more red spec 20w cfls that had 110 true watt of light i have now just ordered another 2 45w cfl grow light with 225w true light each bulb 1 red spec and 1 blue spec so in total will have over 1000w of cfl lights, my question is do u think this is enough to take 3 or 4 plants thru veg and flowering or would i be better sticking to just the 2 plants? and making another cupboard for my other plants?

 

[Garybhoy11]

pics of the cheese from today a nice little growth so far

still no sign of the BLT yet hopefully see her tomorrow

 

[Garybhoy11]

pics from this morning Day 7, also a pic of my full cupboard and the larger part that i am about to turn into a flowering chamber and the smaller compartment that the plants are currently in will be a veg chamber, ive ordered more lights but still need another cpl fans and a carbon filter which will be a few weeks before i can afford it all so will make do best i can with what i got for now.

 

[Garybhoy11]

so the BLT has popped above soil but can only see the seed casing for now till it falls off but its a start so hopefully i can get it to catch up with the cheese

 

[Garybhoy11]

Day 9 with the BB cheese and its looking good a little slow in my opinion but still looking healthy hopefully it explodes with growth soon,


the Blue Lemon Thai has opened up but nothing worth reporting yet will get some pics up as soon as she hows some proper leaves.

 

[BLgled]

Looking nice mate, we planted around the same time, and both autos as well, but you got more lights than me so i shall be interested to see the difference in growth ! Check out my thread if you havnt already

 

[Garybhoy11]

so my new bulbs arrived today so ive now got my 2 plants under a 300w dual spectrum cfl and 1 45w blue cfl equivalent of 225w and 1 45w red cfl same as 225w and i also have 3 20w red cfls equivalent or 100w each the 300w has 20,000 lumens and the 45w have 3000 lumens each im unsure of the 20w lumen output.
do u think this is enough to do 4 plants or shud i stick with just 2 at a time?

im gonna get another 300w dual spec and another 1 red and 1 blue 45w cfl and convert my wardrobe into a veg chamber in single compartment and flowering chamber in the double compartment, when i do this i'll have a 300w dual cfl and 2 45w blue cfls for vegging, and a 300w dual cfl 2 45w red cfls and 3 20w red cfls for flowering im hoping this is enough for 2 plants at a time but preferably 4 as i have the space to grow 4 at a time.

 

[HighLife4Me]

Yea, that will be enough to do four plants. I will be using about the same amount of wattage with my 4 plants. What size pots will you use for flowering?

cheers for the advice mate, im using 4 x 10L pots from seed to finish as its all i can fit in the wardrobe

 

[HighLife4Me]

Nice. They will turn out great.

 

[Garybhoy11]

so the cheese is on day 16 and has had its 1st feed with BioGrow 2 days ago and she loved it seeing about 3/4 inch or more growth everyday,

the Blue lemon thai is starting to take shape as well although a little slowly however thats my own fault a when she popped above soil i stupidly helped to pull the seed case off and this stunted her for almost a week but she is now pushing out new leaves and looking healthy and thats all i care about,

for some reason im not being allowed to upload any pics today anyone else got this problem? it just keeps coming up error when i try to up the pics.

View attachment 2591911 so my Bio Bizz Nutrients arrived today, got a couple quick questions can anyone advise me about how much to use and what dilution ratio and how often? when to switch from grow to bloom and bloom to top max? and also how early do i start using them in the grow?

I am using as well BioBizz, but only BioGrow and BioBloom. There are some feeding schedules I saw on internet, however I liked in this thread(post #7):
https://www.rollitup.org/nutrients/504604-biobizz-bio-bloom-grow-schedule.html#7

On my current grow I was giving them 4-6ml per liter thinking that plant is getting bigger and it will need more... I was so wrong my Super lemon haze is still choking on N, canoeing some leaves. My C99 did not complain too much, but I saw some leaves also having that N overfert.
Well its my 2nd grow and I still have a lot to learn, but my conclusion from this was: 1ml on day 14, 2 ml on day 28, 3 weeks into flower I drop 1ml of biogrow and add 1-2ml of biobloom and then see if the leaves are dark enough and they have enough N. if they will be getting brighter will be adding more N, 5 weeks into flower the plan is to stick with 1ml of biogrow and 2-3 of biobloom. Since I switched to flower after 7 weeks, my plant is quite big, so I guess it will need 3ml of bloom.

for you, 2 weeks into flower is equivalent to ~1 week after first pistil will appear on stem.
Don't overfert it stunned plant with overfert signs is such an annoying thing to deal with..

I do not have biobizz top-max so I am not sure about that one..

 

[Garybhoy11]

so finally managed to get my pics uploaded so here is a couple of each plant taken just after a feed this morning, the cheese is looking great to me and the blt is doing not bad now either considering i nearly killed it a week ago,
im feeding the cheese plant 1ml biogrow and 1ml biobloom per litre of water once a week just now and also started the BLT with 1ml biogrow today for its first time,

what u all think so far anyway is it all looking ok?

 

[Garybhoy11]

so they are looking good to me so far and the cheese is starting to show flowering sites after only 20 days from seed as u can see in 2 of the pics she has small white hairs appearing, im starting to get excited lol, an the smell is unreal my room stinks with her

 

[simisimis]

20 days.. its beautiful to say the least low and bushy good job man now in 3 weeks it will be 3-4 times bigger when ure planning to swith to flower?
