Recovering from nute lock :-(
She's on main stage now, diary is mostly about her.
Also recovering from nute lock - PPM was testing 1200 for three feedings. Last 4 feedings have been RO water and cal mag and one low 300-400ppm nute feeding.

Really wishing I had the complete BioBizz set this week. I guess I stupidly tried to substitute more Bio-Grow and Bio-Bloom for Acti-vera and Fish Mix that I'm lacking. Anyone able to tell me some cheaper alternatives or any reps out there feeling generous?
The PPMs going were around 700 and I thought that was fine. But when the waste was reading 1200 after the first of the week I got scared. The last few days I've been flushing and the PPMs are much lower in the 600 range. I guess I've been lazy and mixing one gallon for all three plants, lesson learned. I'll now change to having one gallon for the flowering NL set around 900 ppm and the other gallon for the two struggling plants at around 400 or 500 ppm. Any objections?
The seedlings are coming in strong and I'm really excited. One of the Desert Lemons by Equillibrium Seeds is kind of a mammoth, and honestly they came out really impressively, just hope it is female. The two on the right of my pan are Black Sugar and Gelat.OG from Seedsman both feminized and they look really uniform and pretty as well, or is pure bred a better term? Definitely in form.
I've looked at so many drip to waste or ebb and flow automatic irrigation systems I'm beginning to feel nauseous. I wish I could actually find a deal online for a 3 or 4 plant setup, or at the very least find which ones are the top 3, would love some suggestions from my viewers. I can code so I would obviously turn it into very easy to maintain and cloud connected system.
I guess this week what I learned is don't go by the charts, go by what your plant looks like and determine what stage of growth it's in for yourself. It was my first time growing and the fimming not flushing the coco enough and not staying low on the nutes is where I feel like I messed up.
Not much else to say other then I'm not liking running BioBizz without the full line. I only have access to them via Amazon and right now the Starter Pack which I have is 75 plus 27 for 1L of Fish Mix and 45 for 1L of Acti-Vera. At 45 dollars this seems outrageous for some what is in it? Beet root extract and aloevera? I'll honestly just let my plants suffer until I find an alternative. Which is my question of the week and I'd love you to give your advice if you have some.
Oh, I really would like someone to give me some suggestions if it's a deficiency or excess of nutes I'm seeing, or if my 3000k QB set at 60-70% is still too high (I'm just gonna link it not sure if it's against TOS). I've used a light meter on my phone that I don't trust, the light meter attached to my moisture meter is reading 500 out of 2000.

AthanasGrowstarted grow question 5 years ago
Do I need to do full strength with my Biobizz nutrients since they are organic and I am in coco/perlite or is half strength okay for first few weeks?

I would do exactly what you are doing. Start at half strength and work your way up if you see more deficiencies. It is always easier to add nutrients then to take away if you burn them. I always found the PH and nutrient lockout was more likely to cause issues then an actual nutrient deficiency. Veg is just to get your plant ready for flower, so don't rush her and make sure she is nice and healthy before you flip. Good luck and happy growing! 👊

What is a good substitute brand for an Acti-vera and Fish mix replacement? Alternatives to Fish Mix if I really don't want to smell fish.

Fish mix is recommended for outdoor use anyway. Bioheaven is meant to be good but I am yet to try it.

@AthanasGrow Basiccally any of the seaweed/kelp based supplements will do the same job as your fish mix just
be sure to check if they are suitable for hydroponics Here in Australia I use a product called Seasol and at only 0.5mls
per litre a bottle lasts ages. 👍

Biobizz I believe has everything in the type of nutrients you want to use. Sorry can't be of any better help.

try dry nutrients at least once, it's really so much easier (and cheaper)... there was a study done on cannabis fertilisers 95% of them are identical to alternatives for tomatoes... if you're looking to save money, save money on nutes lol i dont know what other equipment you need but that's one way to save! 🚀

@CRiSPrGrow, I got some Down to Earth Organic Bio-Live 5-4-2 that I've been sprinkling on top via a salt shaker once a week since week 3. I will put it in the coco/perlite mix next according to directions. I'd love to get some worm castings as well.

I'm going to say one of your plants looks super healthy and short and fat like an Indica.
The other plant that has slightly yellow leaves is more sativa leaning and is crying out for some nitrogen. From what I understand when a plant is going through the "flower stretch" its using excess nitrogen to push those flowers up but in your plant it looks like ours taking it from the leaves. Growing different strains at the same time can prove challenging when it comes to feeding as each plant will have its own needs at separate times.

Save yourself a headache and get an EC/PPM meter, for soil it is a big help, for coco it's a must. I would use full strength. Although i would recommend a coco specific nutrient.

I do have one but I haven't watered it enough to have runoff. My next watering I will do it though, it was 300 ppm going into the coco/perlite. I will say this coco mixture is very husky/rough nearly like mulch not like the powdery stuff I've seen from some other brands (mines cocoloco)
