Biobizz

Alright @Ian48 , biobiz charts are kicking about all over and they don't all read the same.

What medium are you using and what biobiz products & what phase of growth are you in? Will help.

I use biobiz for a year: crappy bottles but products are simple and organic. Its good stuff.

I grow in coco, so for me I give half what they recommend and I feed every day.
With soil it'll be differing amounts...

OK, so since you're growing in soil you'll need a heavier feed (than me) but even so, err on side of caution, if they are hungry they'll tell you (lower leaves will pale to yellow = hunger for light/food)

However, here is one I got and I use it on its scales divisible by ten (its based on a 10L mix)

As I said I go in light but it suggests values that I can say are good for soil.
additionally your feed will be when plant says not schedule.
So if you feed today a litre it is normal that her next feed will be 2-3 days but some need longer in between.
As for skipping nutes, I do but don't think its such a good idea with soil: each feed is important so nutes each feed, only time you add water alone is when issues prevail. Otherwise, just feed.

Yes m8 already fed today might have went in a bit heavy though so will give them 3 days and see what they look like i will go a bit lower on second feed because of todays feed which was 1ml per litre for grow and 2ml per litre of bloom what do you recommend for next feed

A little more water is fine and a little more nutes will be OK as a one off, but you will see tips turning n burning if you continue heavy feeds.

Name your girls and what week of what phase (veg or bloom)?
I ask because you suggest you are using both, just want to be sure I understand.
1 is at 2 weeks into veg
1 is at 6 weeks and just flipped to flower...
That right?

Aha. OK with you.
Right, autos generally require less nutes than photos so I might suggest do a ⅔ suggested dose - ⅓ less for the 'auto factor'
Then keep an eye on lower leaves, if they start yellowing, increase feed 25%
If they start getting nute burn at tips reduce feed a little.

Also their 'bloom phase' is a little stilted, so going by age is not always best the bloom phase can start from 2-6+ wks...
So (IMO) I'd start including bloom only 1 week AFTER pistols break: any sooner and you'll reduce benefits of the stretch.

Chart is easy to divide nbr by 10 that's the photo amounts.

Then two thirds (ish) of that for auto feed.
And keep eye out for deficiency in leaves (old and new)

Sorry to add to things but it helps to get a feel for the weight of pot: before you water. You will quickly learn by picking it up when they needs fed.
Last thing, last two weeks I don't use 'grow'. I find the N messes with flavour and growth of bud. Use seaweed n molasses instead.
Good luck.

Yeah cheers, that was a great read and got so many answers I was looking for. Just one question. Last 2 weeks you say no bloom only Biogrow, Seaweed/Kelp and molasses? Therefor now flushing is needed in last stages? I only ask because I’ve never grown in soil before I’ve only ever used coco and synthetic nutrients. Thanks for the thread guys!

YW @CK?1 and specifically, I drop grow approximately 2 weeks before harvest (as I mentioned) and use seawead and molasses - I have a approx 50/30/20 - coco/pearlite/homemade compost: so some biolife. (I amend at flip with bat guano and worm humus to support)
So I supplement seaweed for stress and molasses for taste (and, myth or not, it helps biolife. Then last week I stop bloom and seaweed too: running water n molasses only so a flush by any other name.
It needs to be said, a flush isn't needed for BIOBIZ, full stop but peoples opinion on flushing is all crazy
If I grew with non organic, I would flush, way I grow now, it ain't needed.
good luck.
