Hello everyone, after years of lurking here, I need some help with BioTabs (Hope this is the right section)
I've had a great experience with BioTabs in the previous cycle, but this time it's giving me some headaches.
My plants are around the middle of week five. I added everything they recommend in my 10-liter pots: 50g Startrex, 50g Silicium Flash, Mycotrex, and Bactrex.
I added the first tab on day 21 and the second on day 30 (the girls are around 30 to 32 days)
As you can see in the pictures, the plants are very dark green.
They’re not clawing, but they’re showing signs of potassium deficiency (lower leaves yellowing and brown burns) which me leads to think about N locking K.
They also didn’t develop as well as the last grow and the flower signs started way too early, even though I upgraded my lights this time and kept DLI and VPD always on point.
Last grow, I added the first one on day 7 and everything went well, with only a little nitrogen toxicity and this time I changed a bit to avoid that.
But today, to my surprise, I spotted some balls on the branches. Two of my girls are freaking herming (Mephisto 4 Assed Monkey and Pinot Noir)!
Notice how they’re way too dark green in the picture (and the deff on the bottom).
They all are suffering from the same, which me leads to think this is nutrient-related or the hot temps (sometimes the room reaches 30 degrees on canopy)even tho I have grown in way worse conditions)
So since their support says I'm doing the right thing, I would like to question other users this is how you guys use it?
- Do I need to transplant it before putting it on the soil?
- I read somewhere that the problem might be the Silicium Flash, should I use only Startrex?
- Should I add the Tabs only after the flower starts?
Please I'm really lost here and need some guidance I cut my losses but I want to avoid that again.
Thank you very much!
