Feeds all Bio bizz apart from TNC Calmag
Acti vera ,heaven ,root juice ,alga a mic , bio grow ,bloom and top max
all avalibile for feeding but still uncertain how best to apply as far as quantity even after looking at so many different biobizz feeding schedules so been playing it safe at 0.5 to 1ml per ltr
Two spider farmer sp1000 for lighting
Inkbird to control environmentals 4" extraction and 6" desktop fan and 4"air intake
Picture shows growth after week and a half looking quite happy will get some fresh pics today once lights back on
environmentals ::temps 24 28°C ::Humidity currently at 65 %
Lights 18 on 6 off
Foliar spray 1ml acti vera per ltr ph 6.5
Current feeding per ltr .all at 6.5 ph after issues with ph on 1st run nothing gets spayed or fed unless ph is spot on
1ml heaven 1ml acti vera 1ml root juice per ltr started first week all at 0.5 for first 3weeks giving 250ml every other day they look healthy and strong nice and green
Just into week 4 everything has stopped they have now done nothing for over a week like they have frozen feel like uprooting an starting again ph is correct so dont think its lock out
Understand not gonna get it right stright away so annoying tho .. so any advice will be greatly received

1st run I tried got yield of 24g off four plants northern lights and bubble kush same set up aprt from only one spider famer1000 light same feeds but probably cautiously under watered ph was well out of range got right after buying fourth ph meter and environmentals where all over the place and deficiency city and probably started the nutrients and fertilizers too early but lessons learnt.

Beginning of week four
All a little small but just no progression whatsoever for past week and half ! But they look healthy enough one in top left just never got going thought I'd leave her just to see if she does do anything topped this one first time trying this will top all on my next run she did start to poke out two new nodes but then everything stopped!

I developed a method for dialing-in the nutrients over the years. Every seed grows a different plant and each plant will have different nutrient "preferences" . I am primarily a hydro grower but I have grown in soil and coco. My method works best in hydro because the results of a change can be displayed in hours as opposed to days in soil. You just need to react more slowly to what you see in your plants in soil grows.

Unless you are well versed in nutrient science stick with One Single Vendor. They design their products to work with each other in "Balance". If you take time to learn one thing about nutrients I would say balance is the most important concept to understand. Start with Liebig's Law of The Minimum.

Use every item on their chart in the proper week (I take exception to their clock):

Start at 50% strength. The next week increase by 10% and increase by 10% each week until you see a little bit of tip burn. Then back off 10%. Now you are feeding what that plant wants/needs.

It looks like they recommend PH 6.2 to 6.3 going in?

Need need to believe that Bio-Biz has the "Balance" in their products built into the chart. Then you just adjust the strength. So that means if you want 50% strength you use 50% Bio-Grow or Fish-mix, 50% Bio-Bloom, 50% top-max, 50% bio-hevan, 50% alga.mic 50% acti-vera.

It is really hard to control the nutrients for 6 plants all growing out of the same reservoir. Sometimes one has to suffer at the expense of the others. My style of growing has its fair share of problems.

PS the clock should have 4 weeks of veg and 6 weeks of flower.

:goodluck:

:vibe:
 
Greetings thanks for the great advice.. does all seem to be hit or miss defo makes sence to work towards achieving a bit of tip burn and then dail back all discovery I guess think my main worries up to now have been finding that sweet spot without to much casualty gonna take a good few more grows
 
bat mix special is Plagron not biobizz.bat mix as the name suggests is full of bat shit with very high numbers.
the biobizz schedule like so many other schedules is for photoperiod plants.week 1 and 2 being the veg stage.weeks 1,2 repeated for however many weeks you vegging for.week 3 onwards is the flowering stage.
we not growing photos but autos,my thinking is the roots have reached the bat shit and have said,shit that stings a bit.
no mention of bat special in biobizz chart,why would it its not a biobizz line.
chart says light mix or cococo.....................................i dont understand why so many newer growers mix cococ and soils together.its two different styles of growing.
Bat special is Plagron/house n garden or someone else.

maybe the plants are a lil small.....maybe the pots are big ? dunno but fairly typical of a new grower.my first 4 grows went...underwater/overwatered/underfed/overfed with pretty much the same results.

plants are flowering so ya gonna end up with some buds :pass:many folks wont show off a grow till they got things sorted.very few of us have a green thumb,even less are lucky,just needs a bit of practice.
top tip......mycos,wycos and tycos all work,but they the last 10%.root juice/heaven anything that isnt grow/bloom is an optional extra.
keep it simple/less is more/the less you do,the less can go wrong.
good luck n keep er lit
