Heads battered with all these products

[howard wolowitz]

Hi guys

 

Theres so many nutrients products out there I'm finding it hard to work out what I actually need and whats just hype or marketing 

 

I just want to keep it simple so I'm going with Biobiz all mix soil for now.

 

based on this what do you think i will need in terms of additives/nutrition for the whole grow?

 

cheera guys

You don't need anything apart from a grow and a flower nutrient. Root stims are good but not necessary. All the other stuff I leave out.

Yeah as @KC says really. 
It’s ridiculous how many different products there are. Save your cash and keep it minimal. Your growing environment is way more important so focus on that. 
I’m in coco and just using the base nutrients plus a little root stim / seaweed. I’m getting the best flowers I’ve ever had since paying proper attention to the environment.

If you're using the BioBizz All-Mix then personally I would also go with BioBizz nutes, just the Grow and Bloom will suffice.

Be careful as Autos and BioBizz All-Mix have a history of frying some Auto strains.

Agree with the fairly minimal approaches previously posted.

I've mucked about with various boosters, stims & magic potions, all dropped now apart from a root stim (in compo) & silicon. 

Don't remember ever using Allmix, but have seen several threads suggesting its to hot for germination in general, and too hot for some seedlings (strain dependant). No idea myself, but worth a research.

I use 3 things, start to finish.

• cal/mag (canna calmag agent, 3ml in 10L gets me to 0.4ec)

• base nutrient (i use ghsc hybrid bloom all the way through, don't bother with a separate grow)

• seaweed extract ( sea-chem Shropshire seaweed)

Honestly most of it tbh bro ,  a lot of its just the same jollop wearing a different label.

Take monkey nutes for example, they don't make a single fertiliser themselves, instead they've selected what they feel is best of whats already available (and works together without antagonisms) from established manufacturers and just put it together in a branded line.

 

Get yer water checked, see what you're starting with and go with something simple and forgiving.. biobizz ain't a bad shout at all, bit messy though

good old tomato feed if yer watching the pennies 

 

agree with post about getting your water tested - your water company will have your report online based on your postcode.

Now I can't knock Biobizz compost because I've never tried it. It just looks so shit I can't bring myself to buy a bag. If you're down the grow shop they got some other lovely ones to try. Canna and Playgron spring to mind.

My only regret was thinking soil was the best medium for healthy roots. Turns out coco was the best. 

[howard wolowitz]

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help 

 

With these replies and a few videos I have a much better understanding now....They would literally sell you a different product for every feed if they could

 

Didn't know about AF and biobizz having issues in some cases .....might have a look at canna too .

 

 

What am I looking for in the water report ??

[Herbal Kint]

Hi, look for magnesium and calcium 

[howard wolowitz]

Hi, look for magnesium and calcium 

Magnesium 3.48

Calcium 24.4

 

 

[Shumroom]

24.4/3 = 8.13mg/l this is the ideal amount of Magnesium for the amount of Calcium in your water  

 

Since you already have 3.48mg/l you only need to add 4.65mg/l of Magnesium.

 

You can do this using Epsom salts or mono Magnesium  

 

Let us know which you’ll use,

as there’s one more calculation to be made as they are both still only a % of pure Mg
