@TheBudWhisperer, if it's rotten and gone off dont use it obviously, sometimes it goes off in the shipping/transport thing , gets too thick or gross... check it out lol but you know know what's up lol 😅

@CRiSPrGrow, yeah finally got around to it. Doing a break cycle between photo runs so figured I’d try all the organic nute swag I have with autos. So far so good but that spray dude - seriously. It smells like cat gizz mix with dead people.🤮

@mr_h_kovert, very true! And I’m still workn through a solution. Options are kinda limited given the pot size and I can’t let er veg. Forever. Trying to stay with the run sched. Too so this is a bit of a head scratcher🤷‍♂️. Any ideas?

You can actually still occasionally get photos from an auto mother if the strain hasn't been completely stabilized.

i really value the time and effort you put into your journals dubs. Hugely informative and educational in many respects. I'll be interested to see how my predominantly bio-tabs regime compares in terms of growth and yield - a lesson learnt from last grow has led to getting the tabs in the soil immediately as there is a little time delay in them breaking down so they went in when the seed was sown. No mention of Orgatrex in the nute review - might this have made a difference? Regardless, as per, I'm loving your work - budiful hombre.

@TheBudWhisperer, Hey M8! It seems like you forgot to use either the pk liquid boost or the pk compost tea of biotabs! Thats what you need to bring out all those organic growing benefits for the flavor/taste and extra effect complexity! I did a 'full organic' grow a few years ago but I was very ignorant and only mixed some basic nutrient powders with my soil and didn't add compost tea or anything the flowers ended up having near to no taste. --> Now I just started a biotabs grow and I can't wait till they are week 2-3 of flower and I can finally brew the organic pk compost tea for them :D I come from 100+ grows in different systems, most of them in hydro in dwc. I get pretty good results with dwc but there are 2 reasons I am trying biotabs: 1 - I want the plant to decide how much nutrients it eats, with the idea of getting a smoother smoke (in hydro I feel like its a trade off between a 20+ day flush or feeding for longer for thicker buds, less than 7 days flush doesn't change a thing for me vs no flush, I really need more than 20 days to notice a big difference...) 2 - I want more terpenes!!! This is what the main catch is for me (and most people I think, its either you want to 'just add water' benefit, or you want max quality and choose for full organics to get more taste). In hydro I would need to add fermented/compost teas and other bacteria to get a more 'full' taste with more terpenes, but then I struggle if the tank goes above 22.5c it starts to smell.... Good luck on your next grows! 2 -

TheBudWhisperercommented5 years ago

@mr_h_kovert, agreed and same here. I find that most organic co.s will own the fact they don’t derive the same yield results but no one ever makes mention Of the other fact that regardless of system - a plant will chemically change the various nutrients it consumes in order to utilize them for growth. This chemical change happens regardless of whether the nutes are natural or synthetic so; in the end, on a strictly biological level - does it really matter if the nutrient starts out as organic or synthetic? 🤔. That question’s been roasting my brain stem for 6 months now. Same with phenotypes - how do we know this is the Bruce banner #3 pheno if the seed hasn’t yet even sprouted? 🤔🤔🤔. Sigh... lol

@TheBudWhisperer, ahh - the good old sales pitch...buy this and you will grow beanstalks....and organic ones at that!!! Organic is of secondary importance to me.....well presently anyhow. It's the claimed simplicity that pulled me in although as you've quite rightly pointed out, if the tabs are water only then why all the additional products? Emperor's new clothes perhaps?!?! I'll see how the ladies get on with the bio tabs manual being followed pretty much to a tee and fo sho gromo - any problems I'll be shouting you loudly!

@TheBudWhisperer, thanks for the detailed response bro. used the biotabs for the first time this year though not as a stand alone. fulvic acid and calmag were on hand. next grow i'll be using a few more of their products and I'll be accounting for the fact that the tabs take a little while to break down. [either get them in the soil a little earlier or provide a little feed until they take effect.] hopefully i can lock this regime down.......as i am a simpleton!!!

@mr_h_kovert, actually very impressed with it as an “organic” nute system. This’ll be a 17 week + grow and the only thing she’s needed aside from tap water was a couple shots of calmag to get to the finish. So it is easy and does do what they say it does. But with indoor, I will not be utilizing it as a standalone nute system again - the yield results just aren’t there IMO. I had wayyyy better than expected results with a purple haze when the tabs were used as a supplement to my normal nute regimen. Might incorporate them that way in the future if I’m growing in coco. It’ll def. get the nod for next years outdoor. The “all organic” folks should love this system for sure. I’m partial to “synthetics” myself (which are actually “organic” too just don’t tell the purists that - I’ll save that soapbox lecture for another time😉).

Shagrathcommentedweek 195 years ago

Hi dude! I just wanted to ask, do you know the main reason for the burning of the tips? I've been watching your grow and I have the same strain and I'm having the same symptoms on my girls. I would like to stop it from spreading 'cos that might affect my final yields.. I have been giving them less nitrogen and more PK and more bacteria but I have raised my Ec in overall so it might be nute/light burn or it could be some deficiency caused by too much something (Nutelock).

TheBudWhisperercommented5 years ago

@Shagrath, hey dude - in my case, my best guess is light burn and could be ur problem based on the height of your lights from canopy - mine now sit at about 20” (6” higher than yours) and I haven’t seen the problem get worse. As far as your grow is concerned - I had trouble seeing any issues at all with Your leaf tips. To be safe I’d bump your light up now just in case. All that said, mine is an all organic soil grow so my issues may show a little differently than yours in a hydro application. As far as I can tell though, looks like your plants on point so your nute mix is likely just fine👍. If you’ve got other more detailed pics you want me to look at, reach out any time. Otherwise, ur plants lookn like a winner for sure bud👍. After a 9 week veg. She should turn out beastly😎.

@ButtersStotch, thanks very much for that dude. The pics give ‘er too much credit though. Think we’re looking at a whole lotta popcorn bud and can only hope that the quality is top shelf cuz I doubt we’re drying to more than 1.5oz tops. Prob. Last time you see me grow in soil indoors. Thanks for check’n er out👊.
