Hey growers,
I'm using the full biobizz line-up, i'm in week 4 of flower and was following the nutrient schedule for light mix soil pretty closely. It looks like some of my leaves are turning darker green and starting to be shiny... Does someone have experience with biobizz?
You're describing the beginning stages f N toxicity aka to much nitrogen.
Maybe you need a bit more runoff prevent a buildup of excess. or slightly less concentration in its feeds.
The feeding guides are not 100% they are guides and you should alter them to your needs.
I would keep following the ratios they suggest but change the dilution to suit your needs. If the plants are showing excess, give them less but at the same ratio.
Eg. if it says a ppm/EC of 500/1.0 maybe give them 350/0.7 or 400/0.8
I,d say it,s Mg excess and Ca,P lock
Check ur Mg ppm, shouldn,t be more then 35ppm
Many ppl can,t see the difference berween N and Mg, bs the don,t know what locks they cause.
They look beautiful mate! I use Biobizz and never use more than 1mil of grow per litre, especially in flower as she does not need Nitrogen as she did in veg. Don't be shy with the Top Max and Bloom in the remaining weeks till harvest. I am approaching week 7 and started on the higher dose of Top Max and Bloom beginning of last week and she has blossomed heavily since. Fatter buds etc. (4mil Bllom per litre/4vmil Top Max per litre) I feed my girls first thing in the morning as they have an average daytime VPD of about 1.2 to 1.4 so they transpire a lot taking all the water they have received in the morning and pushing it through the plant by the following morning when the pots are dry again. They all receive about half a litre each a day every day. As they near the end of their cycle they will take less water so when I find the pots still damp the following morning I know they are close to harvest and start checking the tricomes.
Your girls look to be in great health so I would'nt worry too much. Also, as Biobizz is organic I dont bother to flush them before harvest. I just half the nutrients in the last 7 to 10 days before harvest but this is a matter of personal preference. Ya done a great job with them beauty's, dude. 😎
The magical week 4 of flower.
While it is crucial to maintain proper moisture levels and not overwater,the plant's water needs generally increase through flower but the soil's moisture-retaining ability will become more moisture-retaining as flower progresses due to an increase in soil matter and co2.
It's hardly worth mentioning as your plants do look great. I'm not 100% with biobizz as I have never used it all I know.is there always seems to be problems for everyone that uses it. From what I understand organic nitrogen takes around a 4 weeks approx to break down. Most people still feed their nitrogen 1-2 weeks into flower, which is useful if it was readily available nitrates. But 4 weeks into flower and your medium still has a lot of nitrogen being released by microorganisms. As the plant begins to use less and less nitrogen more more is still being released eventually skewing your ph,
The subtle claw, the almost damaged tips, the glossy shine are all indicators of early nitrogen toxicity.
A good solid flush with rebalnced bloom feed should have her tickity boo in no time.
Hi, very nice plants you’ve got there!
It’s really exciting to see how your fan leaves are turning so dark that usually means your plants are getting a bit too much nitrogen.
You might want to slightly adjust your nutrients so they provide a little less. Also, the drooping leaf tips suggest your watering routine might not be completely on point, so a little fine-tuning there could help too. I think it is the Bio Grow.
Keep up the great work and happy growing!
