New Grower Lowryder F2 Biobizz feeding?

[Bozzy]

Hi! im from Scandinavia so excuse my bad english!
I have a couple of Lowryder F2 growing under 150w of CFL, there about 2 weeks old and looking good.
I was just wondering what feeding scheduel you guys would recomend?
The plants are in 3litre pots, and i have biobizz grow and bloom. I also have organic molasses.

Best regards Bozzy

Hey Bozzy welcome to AFN my man. No problem on the English I can read it so I'm sure all the others can.
First, what kind of soil are you using?
2 weeks should be a good time to start with nutes but it does depend on what medium you're using. If you say they are looking good now they might not need anything. But we'll see.
Here's the best feeding schedule that we have here that everyone passes around.

what i mean is that not all autos are the same lol
I have been growing the same genetic line for over a year now
and they all seem like they really like my fert schedule.

This is what i doi break it down as follows

First off let me talk about what i use as ferts. I have a 4 part system that i use and most of this is in the brain so please bare with me as i share this one.

I use grow big (hydro formula) Tiger Bloom and then two tea variations. One is high in N for veg and the other is high in Phosphorus when its time to flower.
I apply these through out the grow. I use the to get it started.
then i move to the teas and then back to the and then back to the teas

So i break it down like this:
GB is 3Tbsp/1Gal for heavy feedings. So in my mind this is more than enough for our fave friends. So it states that 2tbsp/1gal is for normal feedings so i use this as my base number. After that i break it down into 1/4

at 7 days i start like this
Day 7 1/4 dose to a gal
Day 14 1/2 dose to a gal + 8oz of N rated tea
Day 21 1tbsp GB and then 1/4 of TB (bringing in the TB)
Day 28 1/2 TB + 8oz of Phosphorus rated tea
Day 35 1.5 tbsp TB to a gal
Day 41 2tbsp of TB and 8oz of Phosphorus rated tea
Then Flush till finish unless it needs something at the end.

I think that this is everything that i do like i said i am not sure as this is all in my head. If the plants demand more that i give more this is just something to go by. I usually do not swap in clean water feedings at all over the fert program. I just use the jug then its gone. Now if i start to see over feeding or lockouts ill flush.
But if i keep my water on point i never usually see a lock out or toxicity.

Hope this helps

Hi mate!
The soil is a standard organic plant soil from the local shop, meant for tomato plants and flowers.
On the bag i can read N: 2020 P: 13 K: 150

Anyone here have experience with biobizz and lowryder?

 

[The Squid]

? Not sure about those NPK numbers. Seem uber high. Could be because you're in Scandinavia. I have no experience with BioBizz or lowryders but someone will be along shortly. Hang in there.

I found this on another forum. But i think this sounds like alot of fert...:no:

Just finished some auto ak47. My feeding scheme was as follows.

Bio grow..

I started on 1ml of grow from the day they popped out of the soil. Every two days after that I gave them half a ml more. I did this until I was using 5ml for every litre of water. I stopped this at week 8.

Bio bloom...

Just like the bio grow I started on 1ml from around 2 weeks old (or as soon as u see the flowers form) I then used the same method as before by giving then half a ml more every two days until I was on the 5ml for every litre of water. Again stop this at week 8 and just use plain water. This way any taste left from the nutes will be washed away.

The girl on the right, got a little to close to the cfl thats why she's a bit burned.
I have watered two times with biogrow 1ml first time and 1.5ml second.

Bump bump?

Your plants are very nice but look to be overfed just a bit. Next time they need feeding, I would recommend just giving some plain pHed water. Then start them back again at a lower strength.

Are there any nutrients in the soil you are using?

Also, I'm going to move your thread over to the New Growers forum so we can better help you.

Not sure where you got that but that is way too much. AFs don't even start feeding except for plain ph'd water until week 3. Especially if nutes are already in the soil like yours. AFs like a nuteless or near about when they start and will be fine for 21 days usually with just plain ph'd water most of the time. I have seen different but it isn't really suggested. Start off with a 1/4 strength of whatever the recommended dosage is for your nutes. Then, slowly work your way up from there every week and keep an eye out for any burns. As long as your ph stays good(6.3-6.5) it will most likely eat it all up and will slowly want and be able to take on more just go slow. It's easier to over nute AFs than regular photos. Hope this helped. When it comes down to it. Listen to anything that Muddy says. Later

The soil im using is a bit of nutrients in yes. I've been recomended it from some of my friends who grow.
Will water with plain PHed water next time
I found this recomendation from Agito her on the forum

start on a feed regime of 1ml grow 1ml bloom per litre every water for 7 days from week 2-3
then increase to 1ml grow 2ml bloom every feed for 7 days
then increase 1ml grow 3ml bloom then until the
last 7-10 days reduce to just 1ml grow

if the plant start yellow more up the grow to 1.5-2ml per litre until the problem stops in the case of over fert which hardly ever happens give one plain water and reduce to the previous week schedule
If you have it a small application of epsom just once in week 3-4 can benefit to reduce the lower yellowing effect when the plant kicks into flowering

You think this sounds good Muddy?
