Hi, I've heard 2 different opinions about fertilizing with biobizz. Is it better to fertilize every watering or is it better to fertilize every second watering?

Hello, the feeding charts are designed to be systematically applied with each watering. What seems important to me is that the volume is large enough for the water to drain from the bottom of the pot so that nutrients don't accumulate at the bottom.

Every single time you water! Except for the last 2-3 weeks where it should be pure water It's not so much something to have an opinion of, the Biobizz nutes are designed to be used with every watering, otherwise you'll easily end up with deficiencies. Biobizz is very tricky to use with good results without a lot of practice, the effect of a feeding doesn't show until 1-2 weeks after the feeding, so you have to *know* what to feed instead of reading the plants. I highly recommend going with a simple mineral fertilizer line for your next grow, where you only use the veg and flower base nutes and get a feel for it, the effect of mineral nutes shows in 1-2 days so it's a lot easier to control.

I use all mix and combination of grow ,bloom, root juice, cal mag throughout the grow at certain points but with using all biobizz products I believe you don’t need to ‘flush’ or alternate watering and feeding as it can flush the good microbes from the soil and take time to build back up. I only stop using nutrients when I’m finishing her up at the end of flowering to help with the fade

If you watch close enough the plant will let you know what she wants.. I wouldn't be putting anything on my soil unless I know what it has in it, what it does, what it can achieve and how easily it could work in a negative way.. my advice would be to learn each of these inputs then you know what to use and when to use it.. I bet they don't need using all together so every feed but on a rotation might be best but she will tell you

I use home made foods and will even feed every 2 weeks. But yea, I like 1 fertilize cycle one flush cycle.

I think the soil makes quite a difference here. With BioBizz on Light Mix I’d personally feed with every watering once the plants need nutrients, rather than sticking to a strict feed / water / feed / water routine. With All Mix or another heavily pre-fertilized soil you can be more careful, especially during the first few weeks, since there’s already plenty of nutrition available in the medium. I also wouldn’t automatically go straight to the full dose on the chart. Start a little lower, watch the overall color and new growth and increase if needed. It’s much easier to correct slight underfeeding than a plant that has been pushed too hard. So if you’re on Light Mix, regular feeding with an adjusted dose would be my choice. On richer soil I’d let the soil do more of the work first. Happy growing buddy

BioBizz organic nutrients are designed for use with every watering, but many growers prefer alternating with plain water depending on their specific medium and plant stage. Because BioBizz relies on organic matter that feeds the microbial life in the soil rather than feeding the plant directly with immediate salt-based ions, regular application helps maintain a stable microbial population. However, heavy or continuous feeding without runoff can sometimes lead to a buildup of organic residues or salt accumulation in certain container types. Feeding Every Watering * Pros: Keeps microbial life consistently fed, maintains a steady nutrient supply, and prevents nutrient deficiencies from developing. * Cons: Higher risk of salt or organic buildup if you aren't achieving adequate runoff (around 10% to 20% of the water you put in) during waterings. Feeding Every Second Watering (Alternating) * Pros: Gives the root zone a chance to flush out excess minerals or unused organic matter, reducing the risk of nutrient lock-out or overfeeding. * Cons: Can starve beneficial soil microbes if they go too long without food, potentially slowing down nutrient breakdown. Best Practice Recommendation * In Soil/Compost: Follow the standard BioBizz schedule for every watering, but make sure you are getting proper runoff every few waterings to wash out any accumulation. * If signs of tip burn appear: Switch to alternating every second watering with plain water (or plain water mixed with a mild organic root stimulator/microbe booster) until the plant stabilizes.

If your following blindly manufacturer recommendations, it’s better to fertilize every second watering… But here is a third professional opinion, get an EC/TDS meter and check your plants drains when watering .

Depends......in soil I fertilize every third watering and never every watering and have found fertilizing every second watering too much......but I do use a well refined soil mix developed over decades that requires very little extra inputs. Commercial "lite" mixes if used on their own may need fertilizing every second watering after the first 4 weeks. Coco you might have to fertilize every watering if not every second one. Remember too..............it is very easy to rescue a slightly under fed plant, but very, very difficult to rescue a burned and damaged over fed plant!

Hi, I've already used the nutrients too. I did it like this: once fertilizer, twice water for autos, and of course only half the recommended amount. For photos, once fertilizer and once water. You always have to pay attention to what your girls are telling you, whether they need more or less. Good luck 🍀👍.
