Old Reviews BioBizz - Grow, Bloom & TopMax

[Captain Howdy]

Howdy folks

I'm already halfway through this grow so I've just gotta play catch up for a mo but then I'll be all set to get this test back up and running and hopefully give people a bit of a guide in doing so

Right, here is my AutoWhite Widow, being grown in a 10 litre air-pot, under a 125W Dual Spectrum CFL, in (Growise) multi-purpose compost.

Day 1

For the first 7 days I feed a root stimulant, the one I use is Canna Rhizotonic @ 1ml per litre (in every feed for that week)

Day 9

Once through the first week I will now start feeding my plants

BioGrow - 1ml per litre
Rhizotonic - 1ml per litre
TopMax - 1ml per litre

Day 13

Depending on how the plant looks at this point I will either keep the feed the same or if she looks like she'll be a big girl, I'll bump the Grow up by another 0.5ml (like this one did)

1.5ml BioGrow (P/L)
1ml Rhizotonic
1ml TopMax

Day 15

Now in the second week I increase the Grow nutrients and often add a small amount of Cal/Mag

2ml BioGrow (P/L)
1ml Rhizotonic
1ml Cal/Mag
1ml TopMax

Day 17

Seen as she is growing so well, I see no tip burn or any negative effects from the feed so I've added a tiny bit more Grow and lost the Cal/Mag, there's no need to get heavy on this yet.

2.5ml BioGrow
1ml Rhizotonic
1ml TopMax

Day 20

Still going strong, no leaf/tip burn or anything nasty happening so I'll carry on as I am by slowly increasing the grow nutrients and looking for any ill effects....

3ml BioGrow
1ml Rhizotonic
1ml TopMax

Day 26

At this point I will always reintroduce the Cal/Mag and probably use it from here on in to avoid any problems as I find using just BioGrow/Bloom/TopMax, you will inevitably run into a calcium or magnesium related problem somewhere around the 5th week. I still haven't invested in any Alg-A-Mic though that should solve all problems should you have a bottle (follow instructions on the BioBizz feed chart)
Still no tip burn so I will also increase the grow nutes and it's also time to stop using the root stimulant, that's done its job now (always a good thing to bring back in if your plant experiences any stress just to help it along a little)

3.5ml BioGrow
1ml TopMax
1ml Cal/Mag

And that is the end of part one, I'm gonna grab a brew and I'll be back with the rest

Aaaand we're back.


Day 34

She's now started stretching and normally, just to get to the harvest date a little quicker I would start adding bloom nutes but for this grow, I'm gonna be playing by the rules so I'll be holding off on that until the stretch has finished.

A few days earlier I bumped up the Grow but she's still being fed the same here, which is

4ml BioGrow
1ml TopMax
1ml Cal/Mag

Day 36

Now she's really cooking, and still not showing any signs of shying away from the feed schedule so we'd better carry on. Something seems to be working

5ml BioGrow
1ml TopMax
1ml Cal/Mag

Day 38

I'm having to update every two days just to keep up with her now, can't be a bad thing

Now that I see the start of pre-flowers forming she'll be fed plain water for a few days to wash away any salt build up and get rid of any nasties in the soil before I start dosing it again. BioGrow is very syrupy so it's best to play it safe and give her a good wash down below.

This will be the last feed before the freshen up.

5ml BioGrow
1ml TopMax
1ml Cal/Mag

Day 40

Feeding plain water still and all's growing well, no problems so far

Day 42

And it's time to get back on the sauce. As she looked in good health at the last feed I will resume from there and as vertical growth is slowing to a crawl I'll start adding the bloom

5ml BioGrow
1ml BioBloom
1ml TopMax
1ml Cal/Mag

Day 43

I'm feeding daily now it why not get an update in at the same time

I won't increase the Grow anymore than 5ml, for no other reason than I feel that's plenty enough for them, though I do feel I could have bumped this Widow up to 6ml if I'd have wanted to.

5ml BioGrow
1ml BioBloom
1ml TopMax
1ml Cal/Mag

Sorry about the dodgy photo

Day 44 Yesterday

And here we are, all caught up. Just a single shot for today so you can see what she looks like. She's still getting a low bloom feed atm just to try and get the very last little bit of growth out of her, a few more days and then I'll start increasing this.

5ml BioGrow
1ml BioBloom
1ml TopMax
1ml Cal/Mag

I'll keep you posted as she grows now. Take care folks

I forgot to add.

I don't pH my feed anymore, regardless of my water source. I had so many problems with my plants once I started using pH Up/Down trying to correct things that in hindsight probably didn't really need correcting at all and so I threw these to one side and now I just slam my nutrients in a bottle with my water, give it a shake and away you go. No messing about, and since doing this, my plants have improved so much.

[Captain Howdy]

Ahhhh.... Even better.

 

[Mr Piggy]

HA! I hear I'm a huge pain in the ass in person... Not that I'd ever be like that on here :smoke:

I'm excited for this tester, I've got some bottles of biobizz and will be doing an auto run with them soon. This helps immensely!

Edit: Mrs piggy loves the macro and wants me to print it off. Hehe, I'll just shove it under her door if she gets mad at me again

:roflcry: That's fantastic. You'll have to cut out a photo of your face, giving your best puppy dog eyes, and pin it to the pig. I wish I could see that

Really glad to help dude. I've been growing a year now using BioBizz the whole time so I feel a lot more confident writing something like this. As I say though, a cal/mag supplement is a must if you don't own Alg-A-Mic, and TopMax is a great product regardless of all the bad reviews out there. 3 weeks before the cleanse you bump it straight from 1ml to 4ml and hold it there until the end. Trich production goes into overdrive and the flowers turn to stone. 95% of the plants I've grown have foxtailed or at least had that stacked calyx look which I've also put down to this increase in TopMax, but I'm still yet to truly test that theory.... I mainly make hash though so an extra layer of frost is always welcome

High!

Very nice girls bro...nice work. :Sharing One:
Been following your test on other threads along with Si's, you got me to shift to BioBizz for its ease and good stuff...great help guys !:thumbs:

Now, I pretty much do the same as you but I add Fish-Mix, Algamic and Top Max till end at 4 (-10 days flush), started and finishing a grow on that feed-schedule,
+ Molasse
I mean I start like you but with everything, they take it...only bloom seems to burn me a bit @ 4ml/l

For example:
Day 35-45 ie: FM 3ml/l Alga 3 ml/l Cal+ (green planet. 45ml/l) Grow 3ml/l Bloom 3ml / l Bio-heaven 4ml/l

then TopMax next days @ 3ml/l

Still checking though, only with the Bloom if I increase to 4 they seem to tip burn a bit,now @ 50 dya sI gave 4m/l yesterdday and they seem to have taken it nicely..

Max Rep bro!

Peace!
