Looking for some advice on Hesl and Biobizz, given loads of free samples and stumped!

[Hettyman]

Morning all!! (or evening as it may be)

I've been growing in soil for just over a year now, and using BioBizz Light mix soil, with BioGrow, Bloom, and Topmax. Also, during flower, every 3rd or 4th watering, they only get 0.5ml per litre of feeds, and and 2ml p/l of Hesi Power Zyme, too help break down any nute build up. I'm happy that I now have them pretty sorted, and never get burn or lock out anymore,

Thing is the very nice man at my hydro store, has given me free samples of Fox Farm Big Bloom, Hesi TNT and Hesi Bloom, as well as Hesi root complex.

NPK's
FF Big Bloom - 0.01-0.3-0.7
Hesi TNT - 3-2-3
Hesi Bloom - 3-3-4
Hesi Root Complex - Trace minerals

BioGrow - 8.0-2.0-6.0
BioBloom - 2.0-6.0-3.5
Biobizz Topmax - 0.1-0.01-0.1

From what I can tell, the 4 free samples are basically the same things as my BioBizz stuff, which i'm perfectly happy with. Should I use any of the Hesi or Fox Fram alongside my Biobizz. Oh, I use a small amount of the Hesi Root complex for clones and seedlings

If anyone could help, be really appreciated

ive used the whole hesi for soil line up for many years,its great stuff.you can use root complex for clones and seedlings.you dont really need to use the tnt in veg,if the soil you use is rich enough for the veg stage.
the bloom complex is great stuff imo.it adjusts the ph of your water automatically to the correct ph,which makes things easier.
hesi are good clean nutes,and you dont give full strength at anytime.1/4-1/2 then 3/4 strength at the different stages of the grow.
you can give full strength of their PP tho.
heres their grow chart-- http://www.hesi.nl/english/aarde.htm

Thanks for that, especially the feed schedule. So it would appear as if they are substitutes for my BioBizz bits. I must admit, i'm happier with the look of BioBizz, nice and dirty and earthy, while Hesi reminds me of Mountain Dew, all chemical and artificial looking. Do you have any idea on the Hesi shelf life? Maybe i'll try them after i've used my BioBizz, which should take about 6 months.

I'll keep using Hesi Root Complex and Power zyme with the Biobizz nutes, as I'm quite happy with them

cool,if you prefer to use biobizz,its all good.imo they make the best organic bottled nutes.
as for shelf life,if stored correctly,hesi nutes should be ok until you need to use them.and the fact you wont be opening and closing the bottles all the time will help with shelf life.
but whether you use hesi or organic nutes a ppm reader isnt really something you need,because they use organic ingredients in hesi too,so you wont get a accurate reading.
so dosage is more down to common sense.and as you must already know,slightly underfeeding is better than overfeeding, so just be careful.
