Hi all i've got another question regarding bio bizz products. on the bottle of the grow it says 2-4 ml per littre, but on the chart it says1ml per littre. im confussed. also it says on the chart that you grow(veg) them for 2 weeks then bloom.im using all mix! i want to know how to do it right!
Cheers
The chart you're looking at is intended for clones, not seed, which is why the dosages are all wrong. Also the dosages on the bottle are also wrong.
You can very easily burn your plants with Biobizz Grow and Bloom so go easy on it. Allmix is a pretty decent soil if your tap water doesn't contain large quantities of Calcium in it, if it does keep an eye out for Mg problems.
How much and when you feed, depends entirely on your repotting schedule. When you repot into a fresh pot of soil you should not feed your plants anything. You should aim to repot your plants up in successive size pots at 3-4 week intervals thus avoiding having to apply any liquid feed. Aim to repot your plants about a week before you begin 12/12 flowering. Let the plants root out the pots (so roots start start poking out of drainage holes) and then switch them to 12/12. You can now begin feeding on this schedule -
Week 1 - 0.5 - 1 mil Grow+Bloom per litre of water
Week 2 - 0.5 - 1 mil Grow + 1-2 mil bloom per Litre of water
Week 3 - As week 2
Week 4 1 mil grow + 2-3 mil Bloom
Once the pistils start browning switch over to 2 mil grow, 1 mil bloom and stick with that to the end.
I don't always use Topmax myself, but usually feed that at about 1/2 bottle recommended dose. It's harder to burn your plants with Topmax as it contains little actual NPK.
Don't over do the feeding! What I've given you is a guide only, the actual amounts you need will vary slightly on your own grow environment and strain. Some plants need more nutrients than others, so let the plant tell you what it needs, rather than simply feeding it what you think to a system. If in doubt, feed it less than you think, you can always add more, you can't take it back out if it starts to burn your plants leaves.
Also these are intended to be nutrient feedings in between plain waterings. So don't use it every watering, use it every one or two waterings, but let the plants guide you as to what they need and when.
