BW vs. Biotabs

@@Tryhard, 👊👊👊

@TheBudWhisperer,your a experience grower and I'm 100 percent certain this will be another very good diary form your self and it will all work out fine

@@Tryhard, cheers dude. Gonna need it - hopp’n in the organic train for a test run😉

@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?

@MovingOn, indeed! But in hindsight I kinda had my suspicions based on the labels😂. Mo grows, mo problems right👍

@mr_h_kovert, must be the disgusting spray... unreal how much this stuff stinks bro. Not sure if it’s working but the progress is good for a soil medium so far.👊

@Ferenc, ty dude. She’s coming along nicely for sure👍👊

@mr_h_kovert, lol! Cheers dude. I’m not big on “organic” growing but it’s certainly worth a true test run to check differences👍. Well see!👊

@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 -

@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!

@mr_h_kovert, give yourself more credit than that homie😉. Grow games a vast and expansive universe of tons ‘o cool options👍. IMO - whatever grows the biggest, fattest, dankest nugs☝️Lol

@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😉).

@Experimentgreen, and I don’t know about the strawberry but the diesel is VERY prevalent on the dry👍.... I freakn love diesel strains

@Experimentgreen, funny u ask I had the same question the other day. It’s actually a wireless microscope to my phone (works for both iPhone and android I believe). Not expensive and has served me well for sure👍 - link here if ur interested - PFC Optics Wireless Digital... https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07QCZ3J3C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

@TheBudWhisperer, I give mine a exter 4 weeks b4 i switch witch give my massive buds.

@Mrtony, many thanks she’s. She ain’t the bulkiest but she’ll smoke for sure👌👍

@BudXs, cheers homie - even mediocrity makes bank 😂😂😂.👊

@Yucreepin, for sure dude. This ones got a special place in the stash. Real good smoke and extremely powerful👍

@Bloombuster, well thank u very much for that! As well as the like bomb!! Lol👊👊👊

@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👊.

@ROM101, lol - thanks much dude. Indeed she’s gett’n the knife in short order 👍

@mr_h_kovert, think so - she’s stretched pretty good for sure. As long as she’s not overly stressed by the defo and aphids we should be primed for a chunky one👍
