You have learned alot
I used bio grow before its good stuff give your plants another week though as there still adapting/recovering to your potting mix then add 1ml per litre every watering. bio grow is a veg based fert idealy it should be used in conjunction with bio bloom but it will be ok

your ph does not need to be measured with biobizz let the micro fauna deal with it adding ph down is chemical and messes with the process

use the guide in my sig asthe grow is nearly the same as fish mix

Hi agito,

I thought bio bloom was to be used after the vegetative stage, when the pants starts flowering. I already intended of purchasing it, but I thought there we're no hurries. Being that, I'll make my way to the grow shop (here in my city) to buy that one!
I just would like to understand why is it ok to feed her with nutes both for vegetative and flowering stage at the same time. Weren't they supposed to be used separately?

Thankss!

no mate not with biobizz they get mixed week one of flower you would go in ml's 1grow 1bloom week per watering then week 2 of bloom 1g 2b then week 3 1g 3b until the last 7-10 days where i would go 1g only

if you down load the bizz schedule they go higher than this but i dont think its needed

Here's day 2 for my Fast Bud seedlings!



When should I be introducing sunlight to them? At this point, they haven't been exposed directly to any source of light.

I'd put a clear plastic bag over them for a bit to keep the humidity up. I'd also give them light right away and close so they don't stretch.

Okay, but what about sunlight? I'm using it as part of the light cycle.. from where I'm standing I still have like 10 hours of sunlight per day.. is it okay for the seedlings to be exposed directly to sunlight?
What about the stretching thing, will it happen under sunlight? Also, is it okay to mix two lights (Sunlight and CLF) to deliver a 20/4 or 18/6 light schedule? I'm just trying to take advantage of my geographic position in order to save in the end of month's bill.
I also believe that light straight from the sun will be much more appreciated by the plant than artificial light. Am I thinking straight?

Can't thank u enough!!

They don't need alot of light at this stage.... A few CFLs an inch or two away should be enough. Outdoor should be OK also... but I always grow indoors so I can't really help you with that. As soon as I put my seeds in soil they go under the lights... That way they have good light as soon as they sprout. Anytime I have left them on a windowsill for natural light the first few days I seem to get stretch. Also.... combo of sun and CFL is fine.

I don't have a great grow setup, that's why I rely on the sun for some quality light exposure..
I'm on a low budget, so buying a grow closet is out of question.. I had to patch with a cardboard box and then I lined the inside with that cheap silver paper that everybody has in their kitchens, for reflection purposes. I placed a cheap drawing board lamp with a CFL (E27 rule) in the box and then I'm able to close the box in a way that the loss of light is minimum. That's what I could get... I'm open to any suggestions to improve my growing environment.

Use the light in the days and use the box on the night. a cheap 125w cfl or 250w cfl from ebay would help if your budjet stretches for £20+fitting so about £25
