I have a friend that uses auto pots …. And he said it’s the best switch he’s ever made just the price of the setup puts me off I could probably d i y it for a lot less

I’ve just made switch to fabric pots hoping to see a difference from tried and trusted plastic pots running strains I’ve run in the plastic pots before so I will be able to tell next thing for me is switching to organic amendments I always get the same taste of the weed when I smoke but it smells different to the nose
If you interested in going organic dry amendments this company is worth checking out have been using his gear for couple of years so have a few of my friends really good stuff the guy knows his shit when it comes to organics ….

No mate i have heard the blooms a bit too high in N other than that there stuffs good a few friends use there stuff i aint tried it myself yet tho
Actually ime it’s a bit low. It’s a 3-5-4 which I find I need to cut it with some of there grow (5-3-3) to keep my plants green. It’s handy tho has 50/50 bloom/grow makes a nicely balanced 1-1-1 ratio of feed.

Here’s an Barneys farm watermelon Zkittlez auto at day 53

Would be nice to see what others think! Can rush dry buds in a day or two and it’s always smooth as silk.
Are you getting different flavours in your bud ? I’m using cx horticulture at the moment and I’ve run two completely different terpinator profile strains … blue gelato 41 and sour banana sherbet and the smell of the finish bud is different but when smoking I taste the same buy taste ?

They looked OK a few weeks back now they crap with the light on or off?
Washed out colourless with the light on :-( _20211015_105823.JPG
And zero detail with the light and using the flash.

Im sure nutes can influence the flavour somewhat but in my experience each plant has been very different using the same nutrients.

Although if anything they seem to share a cake like flavour. I’m not sure if this is due to the nutrients or the natural yeast present in the air which is local to your area!!

If you want to try your hand at setting something up throw me a DM and I can link you to parts etc on fleabay or a decent cheap online site.

The biobizz stuff is crap IME , just too thick and stinks and unless you use 3 x the recommended dosage it doesn't really do much.

I've been using those living soil grow , bloom , bloom2 and worm castings powders you have though and they are fucking amazing , been using them coming up to 2.5yrs now and best amendments and nutes I've ever had , massive nugs and great healthy plants .
Mate you’re not far off tbf i’ve just upped the dosage for the bio bizz feeds, plants going that limey green colour which is the start of them wanting/needing more Doubled the dosage and they looking great, also got in early with a top dressing off those living soil amendments ( bloom ) another week or two and i’ll be doing the same aa plants respond well every time. I can handle the smell of the bio bizz nutes but i know exactly what you mean.. fish one the worst but to be expected tbh.

How do you use them ? And what worm castings are you adding to the mix ? I watch mr Canucks on YouTube and was gna follow his mix but without the Gaia green nutes and use the living soils off eBay
there’s loads of diffrent listings for worm castings on flea bay i got 40litre bag for about £16 if i remember right gaia green a US product so not the easeist to get a hold off, i went with bio bizz organic nutes, the living soil amendments, big bag of worm castings which i add in at start of grow as a soil improver and keep some back to then add in as a top dressing once i flip aswell a top dressing of the living soil amendments.. i also add in some biosys to boost the microbes at roots.. can make teas with this or just add in to feeds

I love there stuff there premium amendment is very similar to coots recipe with a few added goodies only negative I can say is it’s not very high in p&k so I use an organic pk booster wk 4/5 of flower I also add a lot of crushed malted barley through whole grow.
In the same breath it’s the only organic amendment I have used really since bottled synthetic nutes I know a few peeps using ecothrive life cycle and charge and loving them so each to there own I just love the fact that it so cheap ok I lose out on yield compared to coco or dwc but brings out the flavours and tastes 100%
