I just did a run with Biotabs and am doing another run now. Assuming you have a light mix soil, then (from sprout) you can dd the Biotabs to the soil on about day 10-15.
You should have prepared the soil with 5ml Orgatrex and 1g Bactrex along with the other Biotabs products. Hell this test subject below i gave 2 doses of 5ml of Orgatrex, once 7 days before planting seed when soil was cooking and once when i planted. A mistake but no ill effects from this. Especially the soil amendments, you can prob add 10-20% ont op of the recommended dose.
I have been doing some tests and so far with autos i find that at around day 18-25 i start seeing some deficiencies. So at around this time I feed 10ml Orgatrex, 1g Bactrex and 1stp of epsom salts and this sorts it out. I am now on day 28 and everything is going very well this time on this test.
I plan to give this test subject another feeding of 10ml orgatrex, 1g bactrex and 1 tsp of epsom salts around the 30-40 day mark (once deficiencies show again), that should then see me through to day 40-50, which by then i will be onto the Bio PK flowering nutrients.
Adding 40g dolomite lime to your light soil mix will help a lot also, helps keep PH in good range and also provides Ca and Mg to the plant. Btw for this test subject i put the Biotabs into the soil on day 12.
Micronutrient issues seem to be common with Biotabs, thats why i am testing spreading out the Orgatrex doses, as Orga is is balanced feed with all trace elements included.
Keep the soil moist at all times (if possible), so water everyday but dont over do it especially when the plants are so young. Overwater = death. The bacteria and everything thrives in this environment. Try to keep temps about 26-28c and soil temp above 21c. If anything just ask, although there are far more experienced Biotabs guys than myself, as i am mostly new to this.
Here is a pic of the test plant in question (2 days old pic). Looks even better now.
If you need any help reach out to me or just follow my test subject in my blog(in my signature) and message me if anything is not clear as i have not been reporting much about what i have done with the test subject, but the above explains all so far and for future. If you want to see if it actually works out just follow my progress with this Sour Stomper. You know the plan already...
