Grow Mediums Beginner nute autopot help

[Hippy_BiotabsF70]

Hey guys I'm ready to order everything and I want to know what you guys might recommend for me Canna A&B or GH flora+ Calmag? If I get canna A&B I still need calmag right? Any advice will be greatly appreciated and I'm going to need help building my light setup 2 300w cob lights but that's a different thread.

Like @stoney T said Biotabs and Autopots and coco are a great combination mate. With Biotabs and coco just mix some garden lime into the coco mix and the start and you’ll be good. I’ve got away with a few grows with no lime and no calmag supplement it just depends on the strain etc.

What country are you in mate? If you want to try Biotabs give me a shout as I may be able to help you out [emoji106]

Also I can help with cob build questions if needed. I’ve built a few that are in use on this forum by a few people.

Lol was just about to tag you. Did you see the question about cal mag?
I don't use it so couldn't answer

Cheers dude

Yeah I answered the calmag one above. A bit of garden/dolomite lime should do the job nicely. TBH my tap water is so hard it's not really necessary, even in coco with cobs.

How much dolomite lime do you mix into the coco per autopot if using the 15l pots? I’ve wanted to try something like that since my last BioTab grow.

I would use about 50g or 2 tablespoons mate, but my water is hard/chalky. So if you have soft water you may need more [emoji106]

I just needed a starting point, 50g it is.

Guys
My water is 0.3 EC out of the tap.
My understanding is that I won’t need to PH my water if using Biotabs?Do I need to do anything with the water. I.e let it sit 24 hours before use?

I have tried this on previous grows and it doesn’t make much ifmany difference to my EC readings.

In regard to the lime and 50g dose, would my water be classed as soft or hard
Thanks

@legalizeme If you are looking for stuff available in the UK....

There is a make/company called "Ferro" who's nutrients are available with the local water sources taken into account - and suitable for Autopots.

Here's a Link to a review I did of the stuff >>>Ferro Nutrient Review<<< all the info is in there.

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, so... allow me to show you one of the many beauties I have grown, using these nutes and autopots.

Just throwing it out there mate, the more options the better. Also, others may be in the same boat, asking the same question.

Thanks, I will check your review out etc.
Interesting service and looking at your detailed review (not finished reading it yet, does look good)

I would expect this service/product to cost more than most, but maybe not

Growers Ark also do tailor made nutrients for your area or your own individual water supply mate. I have used them very successfully without a single issue to any plant.

Very reasonably priced and absolutely no BS on the website. Well worth a look.
