Nutrients BIOTABS HELP, CUSTOMER FEEDBACK & GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD

[MedCzech]

@Biotabs F69 and @Hippy_BiotabsF70 I have a couple of questions for you:

• I'm in the SW UK. EC ranges from 0.1 to 0.3 straight from the tap. I'll be running LED's which are known to be CalMag thieves. Would I still need to add CalMag to my res or is there another way to combat this?
• What's the likelihood you're doing a 420 sale this year?

If you get the Silicium Flash and add that as directed, you won't need to worry about any CalMag deficiency. Check out my Grow below in my sig and you will see how I overcame all the little issues BioTab growers are having.

Good luck and good growing!

Oh sweet. Cheers @MedCzech I'll have a gander at your thread. I think that's me just waiting on BioTabs then... come on... I'm too eager!
Better get online and order my inlet valve then

Might be a stupid question, but does the pk tea stink when you are brewing it?

What's up bro! Fancy seeing you here! Lol
Idk about the PK booster tea, but the Bio PK 5-8 definitely has a smell! Its extremely earthy

Can I ask, what's the difference between BioTabs original and Guerrilla Tabs? Is one better for our hobby?

Regular Biotabs are 21g tablets, the Gtabs are only 10g...supposed to be a reworked formula too, but I think it's more desirable for the versatility they offer. You can be more precise with amounts per pot, and several peeps just dont like having to cut the tabs in half if they are growing an odd number compared to the tabs they have. I had 10 tabs...4 pots at around 4 gallons of soil each...and gave them 2.5 per pot, but had to cut them all in half. Each pot got 5 halves, whereas Gtabs I would have just put 5 tablets and been done.
Just personal preference I think. They are probably pretty close in composition

Thanks J. Makes total sense.
I've just bought enough originals to keep me going until next 420 so maybe I'll switch it up next year.

Absolutely agree with you 100% mate. Sensible words. Add the simicum flash and forget about calmag. Even under strong cobs. In my experience and from what I’ve seen with other grows, adding calmag quite often screws things up instead of helping.

I was about to order for the 420 discount and first time trying, went through without discount shipping was like 25. but after discount code it only gives option for 50 shipping. So if I want to save 23 with discount I have to spend 25 more..... Seems screwy to me.

Most guys are short siding their measurements, and not giving proper amounts of Startrex, Mycotrex, and the rest...all I am doing is adding like 15% or so on top to make sure. No issues so far.

I am very happy with BioTabs system. I bought enough stuff for three more grows and plan to use it in my outdoor garden as well.

Agreed on the Calmag issue. If you add the SF, and follow directions, they will show no signs of deficiency.
