Very vigorous autos. They grew so fast initially that I decided it would probably be a good idea to top them. They didn't disappoint. Incredible smell through most of flower, buds sticky enough they might as well make glue out of them and trimming these babies was an absolute gosh darn nightmare. It took hours but the yield was absolutely worth it for how quick these autos are. Got these seeds as freebies for a different 5 pack and they haven't disappointed despite being free. A solid choice for those who enjoy fast growing autos.

This run with biobizz has been characterized by vigorous healthy growth but started getting deficiencies in mid flower. Think I need to get the biobizz calmag or try to be more on point with the VPD to try and see if uptake can be increased. Funnily enough, the plant which I gave foliar application to ended up a couple inches taller, with a thicker stem and a stronger root system. It actually took some effort to pull out the rootball of the bigger plant despite the deficiencies and lackluster bud density. I am currently trying their All-mix instead of the light mix so I feel like I am giving them a fair shake. Quite a bit pricier, especially since it appears that the light mix has more nutrients in it than some grower social circles think. Overall, I like these biobizz products but I feel like I do not quite know what is in these products and which of them should be prioritized/deprioritized according to the situation. This is one area where I think biobizz could improve by providing more information about their product and best use cases. I have since used their light mix on a different flowering plant that grew 6 feet without any fertilizer at all. You have to wonder how much oomph these nutrients actually pack and whether some of my issues were from an over application of nutrients even though I followed the schedule as much as I could. More experimentation is required. The products which I have not given full stars, I just don't understand enough about them to consciously give full marks to. As a non-npk product, I feel that not enough information is given for me to draw any meaningful conclusions and I haven't used the products long enough to see any differences. The activera to me seems like the one that might possibly be most useful as it seems to be the micro nutrient one. The alg-a-mig is supposedly an algae based plant growth hormone however it tends to discolor in the bottle and no information is given as to whether the product is cold pressed or chemically extracted. An extremely important distinction. The top max is a humic and fulvic acids blend which supposedly acts as a shuttle for micronutrients to enter the plant. I do find Biobizz's schedule a bit puzzling with this product as no other brand that I know of holds off for so long. Then again root juice is a damn near identical product, which they do recommend that you give early on. Very puzzling. I have used fish mix in veg and bio grow plus bio bloom in flower as recommended by biobizz in their schedule. All three are npk products and need no big explanation as to their importance, they get 5/5 from me. I have not used bio heaven or root juice. I have not bought bioheaven simply because i already have a lot of microbe concoctions that I get cheaply. It is not clear what root juice provides that top max doesn't so I didn't buy that one either.
Only used their bloom complex for soil. Initially got this for my potted flowering plants but when some plants don't respond to biobizz organic fertilizer, this product seemed to do the trick. I am definitely intrigued by this company and I will be trying their organic range in the future. They only have two bottles in their organic line from what I can gather so it will be interesting to see if they're enough. 5/5 just cause it does what it says on the tin, no marketing mumbo jumbo, just gives you the ratios of nutes plus the chelating agents they use. Nothing more, nothing less, as one would expect.
Reviews. Lamp
Absolutely wonderful light. I got more bang for my buck when comparing this specific light to the equivalent offers from companies like spider farmer. This light comes out cheaper but since it's bought off Alibaba, shipping and duty needs to be worked into the price. This light ended up being exactly the same price that a 300watt bar style fixture would have cost me from my local spider farmer dealer. I get a marginal extra 20watts but I had to wait a few weeks for it to be shipped and clear customs. All that said, I did my homework. With this fixture, I get a total of 250 more LEDs than the spider farmer would have provided for more or less the same wattage. This would mean that the kingbrite has more LEDs to spread those 320watts through, meaning that each LED is being driven less hard. For this reason, I would bet a popcorn bud that this light is more efficient watt for photon and runs cooler in your grow tent as a result. This is an absolute game changer for my climate as these tents get HOT hot down here in Europe's southern buttcrack.
Reviews. Tent
It's aight. Bought second hand and the Velcro windows were torn a bit from previous owner. Gotta be honest I'm somewhat concerned having a photoperiod flowering in this tent given that I can see light escaping from the inside out during light hours. However when I closed myself in it, it seemed acceptably dark in there so I guess we'll see how my black muffin turns out in it. I will say that I am not particularly fond of the dimensions on this particular tent but beggars can't be choosers and that's what my friend had to sell me so I bought it. With a tent this small, it doesn't really make much sense to make it cube shaped unless you're only growing 1 plant in it. You could put in 3 plants and make relatively good use of the space but they'd have to be pretty small plants and you will be constrained by how much horizontal training you can do with them. I am currently using this tent to house just one (hopefully large) photoperiod plant as I could never use the space well growing 2 plants. You can check this experiment out in another one of my diaries, it's the Black Muffin one from Sweet Seeds. Cube shaped tents are ok as long as they are like 2 or 3 times this size. Say a cube tent that can house a plant comfortably in each quadrant. The area of this tent is technically perfect for two but it's awfully hard to train two plants in such a way that you use half of this cube with each plant.

The shortest of the two was ready first as it seemed to mature normally. I harvested when it seemed that it was self seeding however if was well into the harvest window. The taller one that suffered deficiencies early on, it never filled the buds as well as I had hoped. I left it to grow until I saw some signs of foxtailing. The bottom of the plant still had more white pistils than I'd normally harvest at but given the conditions, I was not expecting improvements. Wonderful yielder this strain. The larfy one yielded 150g dry and trimmed and sadly I didn't get a measurement on the better of the two however I would expect the yield to be comparable to the larger one given the density of the buds. Not particularly fond of the dimensions but beggars can't be choosers and that's what my friend had to sell me so I bought it. With a tent this small, it doesn't really make much sense to make it cube shaped unless you're only growing 1 plant in it. The area is perfect for 2 plants but a rectangular tent would have been ideal for a 2 plant tent. You could put in 3 and make relatively good use of the space but they'd have to be pretty small plants and you will be constrained by how much horizontal training you can do with them. I am currently using this tent to house just one (hopefully large) photoperiod plant as I could never use the space well growing 2 plants.
