I just spent a little bit looking through the other threads made on these nutes but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I am wondering what is your watering scheudle with these nutes. Do you water them at full dosage every watering or every other watering? Any input would be appreciated :)

I ran them at full dose. Even kicked the bio-bloom and bio bud up to double than what was recommended and the plants liked it. I dont think the stuff is very hot so feel safe. In the future try to make them yourself, you can make that qrt bottle that they sell for $15 or so, for a buck! Or less even.

Did you start right away with the recommended dosage? or did you wait a week once the seedlings have grown a little.

I didn't feed my seedlings or young flowers. The soil is good enough. I usually wait till I start to see signs of needing a boost to give them nutes. What soil are you using, you dont want to burn them at that age.

I feel like an asshole. I just used some cheap potting mix from wal mart. I hope my plants forgive me. Rookie mistake #1

Lmao my first grow I used some vigoro soil from Lowes, I cant say if it was good or bad but I made the switch to homeade. Its about the same price as thevstuff you bought but the quality is like fox farm ocean forest. Soil is just as important as lights and atmosphere . What brand did you get because you could still be safe.

It's called Premier potting soil. When I said cheap I meant cheap! I think it was like 1.99 a bag. :(

Well you can always transplant man. If you cant spend money on high dollar hydrostore soil ill gladly help you make your own. About $150-200 and you could have nearly 100 gals of soil.

week 4-5 for me usually looks like this: (for non supersoil plants, as i do both methods)

3ml protekt
15-20 ml biothrive bloom
9-10 ml CaMg+
5ml BioBud
12 ml fish emulsion 5-1-1
10ml florablend

for my transition from veg to flower they get veg nutes the whole first week of flower.

3ml Protekt
15-20ml BioThrive Grow
7-9ml CaMg+ depending
10ml BioRoot
5ml BioWeed
10-12ml fish emulsion 5-1-1

*i use RO water and I never pH anything. I use a mix of cheap ProMix (the orange bag) with some humus, mushroom compost, EWC's, azomite and lime. I found I had a lot of problems with yellowing and low nitrogen in flower before i replaced their BioMarine with a 5-1-1 fish emulsion, it made a huge difference for me. I also was having problems before I began mixing azomite in with my soil. I think these are better nutes for soil than soiless, but thats just my experience.

hope this helps. i have been using these nutes for almost a year now. shoot me a pm if you have more specific questions.​

What Brands do you recommend? Money isn't TOO big of an issue, I am just a noob and decided to grab something and this was the only mix that didn't have chemicals in it.(At Wal-Mart)

I'm just curious, why don't you use the Diamond Black? I got it in the GO Box but I don't see anyone using it in their routine. Did you feed your mixtures with every watering?

Diamond black is great. Id say use it. Its a humic acid, really there are no brands id suggest using but I run, feather meal 14-0-0, Oyster shell flour 37% ca, fishbone meal, 5-16-0, kelp meal, 0-0-1, humic acid, bat quano for bloom, blackstrap molasses, Epsom salt, dolomite lime, fish emulsion, earthworm castings, greensand, sea bird quano, really just study and get to know why you add this nute and everything it contains, glad your a smart man and run organics, youll love the smells the buds produce after they eat all that nasty shit lol.
