Biobizz Light Mix: What's the Best Way(s) to Use It?

[NorthernLights_420]

I'm about to run biobizz light mix soil with Mega Crop nutes and 4 cree cob led full spectrum 2000 watt grow light but claims to draw less than 500 watts. Will set up a journal when I set the tent up. Seeds are in today. Woohoo. My first grow in soil. Used to grow hydro til my lung collapsed then couldn't carry water buckets so gave it up. Got rid of the old school 1000 watt magnetic ballast and light and upgraded to new lighting. Pics and journal coming soon.

I am not a "new grower," having grown now for about 5 years in coco. But I'm new to using soil. I'm growing in a 12.5 sq. ft. tent using AutoCOBs. I am approaching a week with seedlings in Biobizz Light Mix. These plants are doing very well, including looking better and bigger vs. those the same age in coco/perlite charged with ~1 g/L Adv. Nutr. pH Perfect Connoiseur Coco Bloom.

My questions are:
1) How and when should the addition of nutrients be done? Should one start adding very small amounts, such as 1/5th normal auto dose, say at 2 weeks, and slowly ramp up over say next 10 days to whatever dose the plants will take without showing stress?

2) For those familiar with their use in light mixes, would it be better to feed with Adv. Nutr. pH Perfect or MegaCrop as the base nutes?

3) At say 3 weeks, start of bloom or other growth milestones/phases, what dosage should I be feeding?

4) Should I expect to increase the feeding dose with time, presumably as the soil is further depleted?

5) Is calcium and/or magnesium supplementation generally needed? If so, when should this start and how much should be used (same I'd use in coco or less)?

6) Any other supplements needed or recommended, such as should I add some Earth Juice Microblast (micronutrients) once/week? I fully expect to supplement P and K, but how much is needed or best?

7) What is the best watering schedule/method? Such as feed daily (with some drain-to-waste as BioBizz recommends) or do wet-dry cycles, with Light Mix so far looking like it would take a week or even much more to get anywhere near 'dry?'

Okay my friend so all your questions will be answered in autobeasts thread on how to grow auto flowers. He uses bio bizz light mix with advanced nutes pH perfect with this pH perfect soil. Only other stuff he uses is some Dutch pro take root and multi total. Then some black strap molasses. The credentials are in his posts in the topping thread he has if your wondering if this process works. Goodluck

BBLM has been my most trusted medium for years. I obtained supplies from different resellers and never noticed any difference in how plants reacted..seems consistent. I use it as is with no ammendments in 2-3 ltr pots with only di water for 2-3 weeks under 6500k T5 24/0. Drains well in small pots and I've found that 1 gal airpots/ BBLM has become my favored combo. My only problems occur when I try pushing a bit as I tend to do with a sister to one getting smaller doses of nutes so I've become a very conservative feeder, mostly bio bizz nutes.
I'm averaging a bit over 1 oz per ltr of medium in a perpetual mostly medical grow. Autobeast has some good pointers for simple fruitful grows.

Yeah me and autobeast have talked before. Why I chose the soil. I chose mega crop instead cuz I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. And I been intrigued by mega crop since I saw it on this forum about a year or so ago. I got it planted now. Seeds are germinating in there 5 gallon grow bags with biobizz soil. My grow journal is started in indoor grow journal section. Posted a pic of the set up.

Follow @autobeast. That's his favorite and has a thread dedicated to showing how to get healthy plants every time.

Right after the tutorial by autobeast he tagged me in it. Cuz I was asking him questions about soil growing cuz I only knew hydro. He made that thread cuz I was asking him questions so he cud help me and others also of course. But I feel cool cuz I got autobeast to make that little tutorial. Lol autobeast is the shit. Very friendly cool person on here.
