When should I start to add nutrients. What kind of...
Stickanswered grow question 7 years ago
Hi there! You shouldn't be giving nutrients on the first week of the vegetative stage, however your plants look older than 1 week, I'd say they're 15 days old, so you might want to start feeding now. Biobizz has great products, if you're looking for organic fertilizers. They do have some downsides: you can't keep them more than a few months, they tend to smell (in the bottles+in your soil), and they're probably not as much efficient as some other non-organic fertilizers. I'm now testing MegaCrop (powder nutrients), I have to say I think I'll never go back to liquid fertilizers again. Now, about your feeding schedule, I'd recommend not to follow BioBizz schedule, this one is much better : https://www.alchimiaweb.com/images/xl/bio-bizz-bio-bloom_240_2_.jpg. As you can see, for young plants (Veg Week 1 - line 2) you should be giving 2ml RootJuice + 2ml BioGrow + 1ml BioHeaven for 1 litter of water. Hope this helps, keeps us up-to-date so we can help you adjusting your parameters, and happy growing!

For a plant in a 15 liter pot, there is no need to feed yet. The nutrients in the soil should allow the plant to feed itself 5 weeks of veg plus the 3 weeks of stretch in flower, unless you are using light soil. I would wait to see the first minor symptoms of deficiency before feeding anything.

Typically growers start feeding their plants from the third week as there is enough in the plant itself (seed) and the medium it's first put into for the first couple of weeks, sometimes longer. In Week 3, mix up a 1/4-1/3 strength solution of BioBizz, so if it says 3ml/l, mix up ~1ml/l, etc.
Important: make sure the feed is ~22-24c or you'll cool the roots and slow down growth a bit. Indeed, a heat mat to keep her media warm is a great tip for vigorous early growth. Good luck!

Defoliation for Autoflowering in Flowering stageHi everyone! I'd like to defoliate my girl, but she turned into flowering mode just recently. Is it feasible to defoliate to open up more bud sites or better leave as it is considering that she's an autoflowering? She looks pretty healthy.

Defoliation/pruning at start of week 4?Is it too late to remove the lower fan leaves/side shoots when I’m going into week 4? She’s really dense and bushy and was hoping to thin her out. I should have been more aggressive at the beginning, but I wanted to see if I can still remove much material this late in the game.

I've read a bit on the different techniques people use to promote more growth as the plant gets bigger and was wondering if I should be doing the same. Would just love some clarification here as some people are saying to leave it alone, while others are saying the opposite.

Flowering Defoliation QuestionHey All,
I have been pulling the small leaves out of the buds when they get long enough to pluck from their stem, so I dont damage the buds. In order to open up more light to the actual buds, should I put a pair scissors to these leaves? Or leave tops bushy?

Is some light defoliation required or should I let them live freely?All my plants are bushy and it's a struggle to get them all aligned so all the flowers are in the light.
I don't know if some defoliation should/can be done?
Or just leave them be and just stick with rotating them daily?
Or tie the branches to the main stem? If that's a thing

Defoliating FastBuds AutosHey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time.
Thanks,
Happy Growing 🌱
