Thanks my friend, I now grow impatient for buds!

.... Mmmm, you will enjoy the hell out of GP and AG, Mr. K'... Sweet has several other outstanding F1FV versions too,... Cream Mandrine is a AFN all-time favorite, stunning resin production and aromatics,.. the SAD will hit on point for your old school Indica hash-plant needs, very spicy-hashy aroma, gummy bud, and wonderful night-time high,...
@Only1Sky -- thank you as well brudda! Yes, I'm quick to diagnose,... I'm the Infirmary guy here after all-

... I'm not running this as an official test mate, and I use my usual supplements (see first posting) because they help facilitate everything the organic nutes do, aid in better uptake, and help fend off potential problems before they start,.. many defc, issues begin and hinder the plant well before you see any outward symptoms,... As Biotabs are new to me, I cover my ass first when I'm in unfamiliar territory,.. also, last season was a near shit-show using this crap KindSoil (a "super soil" water only deal as well) , losing it's P sourcing way too early and fucking up my bud quality! P defc. will show in lousy initial bud set, poor density, smaller clusters of bracts, well before the necrotic patches show on the leaves, and they did later

... once this goes tits-up, it's near impossible to fix, and I was only partly successful; I had to flog them with synthetic high PK nutes to try and speed stuff in there! ... So, I have healthy skepticism of any "water only" system,... but having Mephisto sing Biotabs' gospels is as good an endorsement as you can get! Also, in only 10gal pots, how well the Biotabs last vs. size of the plants is an unknown to me,... I'm sure the plants would finish at least decently with just tabs only, better with PK tea, but I want max phatness on my bud, so I include these other supplements, and any nutrient boosting I think will help cover bases and improve budding! We push our plants beyond what they would do naturally, right?-- and to do this, we need to give them the biochemical tools and materials to do this, as well as the best possible environment,... smaller pot size like this with such systems is something of a gamble, no telling how big the plants will get, and how fast they will deplete their nute sourcing in there,... all variables that must be addressed as they grow in real time! I do have two that are showing minor tip burn as well, part of the variable tolerances between strains most likely, and how fast the tabs are breaking down and releasing the goods,... The suspect Zn defc. isn't solidly confirmed yet, but again, some plants vary in their needs, uptake, reactions,... I had two plants, same strain in the same pot last year, and one suffered from Zn/Fe defc. for weeks starting about 3 weeks in, her sister was fine throughout,... it took the Transport/Microblast foliar to finally fix it (check out the Optic Foliar section, I have a thread there showing how well this worked-amazing!).... So, could be this isn't any issue with the Tabs at all, just a quirk of this plant,... but I'll jump on it nonetheless! ..... So, to further answer your question, for example, a UK mate did the tabs only and got decent results, but I could tell more P-K would have made better bud (she was in Autopots),.. but the aromatics were her best ever! And the minimal effort put in was almost silly! Such low time investment in care, and getting good results (if not "optimal") is indeed a big deal for some folks, and I believe Biotabs is as solid as they get for this, barring you making your own TLO soils... that is a soil science degree alone right there!
.... here's the bottom leaves I saw on a few plants that showed defc. symptoms, no big deal at all, but duly noted just the same,...

Nabz', what's good man?

.... I'll try to get to our other Biotabs brethren like you and Sky here soon! ...I can't keep up these days, and worse, we lost some Infirmary help recently,.. and the place has been crazy this year-

... time just runs out on me!
