hey there ive been using bio biz products from the beginning of this grow, but im having issues with leaves turning yellow, ive diagnosed it as a phospherous lockout due to irregular ph levels, im wondering can you post a run down of the nute strengths you used, approx water ammounts per plant, ph of nute/water mix so i can compare with what im doing, i think i have been given advice thats slightly off as iv bin led to belive i needed to use full strength doses (labelled) @ ph of 6 (water & nutes)
i have biobizz: all mix, grow, bloom, topmax and im also going to use-as of today canna's cannazym, boost xl & rhizotonics-when needed.
many thanks- all advice (on anyting) is most welcomed by this nooob grower lol
The BioBizz chart is for rooted cuttings not seedlings.
The optimum ph of the compost for maintaining health and growth is 6.5 to 6.8. It is much harder for the compost to buffer up than to buffer down.
I don't know how many time I have to say this, if you do ph down not below 6.5! You will mess up the micro flora and if not very careful ruin the compost..
In answer to your Q's Mr Dragon your programme vis 3 inch to 6 inch to 11 litre is fine. But for the 3 inch pots use half and half allmix and perlite.
As soon as the rootball is netted with fine roots move them to your 6 inch pots and neat allmix.
Same story for the move to the final pots. Once in the final pots let them root out the soil ball before flowering, as a general rule of thumb once all the plants are showing roots at the drainage holes. Go to 12/12.
You should not need any feed right through these stages. Once you are on 12/12 start feeding 1 ml of both grow and bloom to a litre of water.
At about week 2 of flowering change the mix to 1 ml grow and 2 ml bloom per litre.
At week 3 [21 days] a one off feed of a heaped table spoon of epsom salts per 10 litres add to that 1 ml of grow and 2 ml of bloom.
Round the 4 week mark, the mix is 1ml gr and 3 ml bl.
Once you start to see browning of pistils change to 2 ml gr and 1 ml bl keep with that till the end.
All you really need is grow and bloom + a little epsom salts.
Does this make sense?
An added point, if you see the tissue between the veins on the lower leaves turning a lighter green at any point its likly the first signs of Mg shortage starting an addition of a little epsom salts to the next feed should keep things right. Dont over do this or else you can lock out other nutrients.
