The Healthy Start nutritional tablets from my regular supplier (Bioplantenvoeding.nl) were not available. They are currently working on new tablets, of which they sent me a few, and they sent me an email that says :
"I just did a quick analysis myself by dissolving an original tablet and a new tablet in a liter of water. The original tablet seems to dissolve faster, but the EC came out much higher (6.6 compared to 3.0). The PH is 6.2 in the water with the old tablet and 5.9 in the new tablet. Unfortunately I don't have a report yet regarding the measured nutritional value, but if it were the same, it seems that the new tablet gives less chance of burning."
In the meantime, I have ordered the original BioTabs tablets, which I'm using now for my new grow ( called : Mixed strains)
I thought it would be fun to do a test with the tablets from BioTabs, those from Bioplantenvoeding (both the new and the old).
In this diary I test 3 mother plants, each with a different tablet.
@Biotabs, indeed no difference so far ๐ Next week I'll be topping and defoliating the plants. Then they will start using extra nutrients. I hope we will see some differences then. ๐บ
@RasendeRollo92, Thx, I'm very curieus too ๐.
In this diary you see 3 of the 9 mother plants that I want to keep during the winter. These mother plants will remain in the vegetative state for a long time. It is therefore primarily a test of how the plants will grow with the different tablets.
For the time being, the plants will use the fertilizers in the potting soil itself. In a few weeks we will know which of the tablets can provide the plants with nutrition for the longest time, in other words, which plant will get yellow leaves first.
If the new tablets from Bioplantenvoeding.nl are good, I will probably do a comparative test with BioTabs vs Healthy Start with flowering plants in the future;.
