I like watering every other day to 20%+ runoff
No more than 1.2 ec including bg water

Hey Shrederr i'm not quite sure what you mean by "20%+ runoff", can you give me a definition or explanation?

I'm feeding that 750ml mix everyday.

However have noted a slight defect on the plant this afternoon (photographed), i have no experience here so your thoughts would be much appreciated. There are a few fan leaves with lightened tips, however only that one with a brown spot, maybe its nothing to worry about, or a case of wait and see?

Watering to run off means watering until you get about 20% volume of the water you feed draining out the bottom of the pot. It keeps an excess of salts/nutrients from building up in the medium and damaging your plant. The tips look like nutrient burn starting so I would back off on the concentration of your nutrients and water to run off the next time you need to water the plant.

brilliant thanks. I'll continue with plain water for a few days and gauge the reaction.

i'll have to re-jig the feeding plan, either back of the nutrients by 1/3rd or switching to feeding every other day

Sorry something else I’ve missed, “BG water”? And the 1.2, is that 1200 microsiemens?

Thanks everyone for your input!

I found this online converter for TDS and EC https://www.lenntech.com/calculators/conductivity/tds_engels.htm

Sharing is caring!

I have a TDS meter coming from a local tropical fish store but the PH meter I won’t be able to get until Friday, so am going to buy bottled water which is labelled as PH 6.2 (hopefully that’s right!). Will check the TDS first however compared to my tap water

Also, I’ve found some info to suggest that because I’m growing in soil, not coco coir, I should only be watering when the top inch or so of soil feels dry. I’ll go with that for now as I’m terrified of over watering and killing it.

I’ll keep you updated, thanks again!

urghhh i'm holding my head in disbelief that i didn't look at BioBizz's website for their recommended schedule. i was way off! lucky i didn't kill the plant. Lesson learned, don't just wing it and hope for the best

Better news though, my city water has only 42/43ppm TDS or around 0.067 EC. I made a few measurements of 2 and 4 ml/l of the various nutrients i'm using in 1L of tap water, i honestly can't see why you would ever want to use 4ml per litre of BioGrow, that's dangerous stuff in the wrong hands

When i restart feeding later this week i'll be using (per litre) 1ml BioGrow, 3ml BioBloom & 1ml TopMax and sticking firmly to the recommendations from now on

BioGrow
2ml/L average TDS increase: 346 (0.541 EC)
4ml/L average TDS increase: 659 (1.03 EC)

BioBloom
2ml/L average TDS increase: 131 (0.205 EC)
4ml/L average TDS increase: 254 (0.397 EC)

TopMax
2ml/L average TDS increase: 4.3 (0.007 EC)
4ml/L average TDS increase: 9.3 (0.014 EC)

That's a one off test so the data isn't going to be entirely reliable, but hopefully serve as a rough approximation

Close-ups! Playing with my 700D tonight, beautiful trichomes, pity about the blurple

Good luck with your grow, looking good.
Enjoyed reading comments and will keep an eye on your grow
New to autoflowers too, I'm currently on my second grow Dinafem Blue Kush, grew Dinafem Haze 2.0 earlier in the year lovely smoke and easy grow, Irish too
