too good to be true? ill lets youse decide
After the disaster n disappointment of the last few grows, not getting the hang of the feeding schedule with the dreaded biobizz nutrients, constantly burning or underfeeding along with under n over watering, some drastic changes was needed. looking for something that would just allow us to water without having to mix anything from a bottle, i came across millwalls lush grow using something called biotabs, the greenness n health of those plants at the age they were, compared to my yellowing pathetic plants of the same age, made me drool in envy.
asking about it turns out that there had been a few folk who have used these, just the tablets alone n separate amendments, there wasnt much info as to how to go about using these.
after a few hours “on the line”, i ended up purchasing the starter kit from amazon for just under £50, figured it would be a good way to sample the whole range without forking out too much.
the packet itself Contains: 10x BioTabs, Bactrex (powder), Mycotrex (powder), Orgatrex(liquid) and Startrex (powder)
the biotab website itself has a handy calculator to allow you determine how much is needed per plant.
now the extremely simple n completely fuss free instructions are backed up by a simple youtube video just to show you how easy it is.
i charged the soil using the startrex by mixing it in evenly, potted up dusted the seed hole with mycotrex, popped in the taprooted seed, inserted the tabs then finished with a drink of bactrex as per the instructions.
just water as normal till week 5, then a drink of the orgatrex n bactrex, then continue to just water as normal
you have the option to add more orgatrex if needed a few weeks after,
since we grow autos our timeline is 8-11weeks we only need to add an extra two dosages of this, Photoperiods obviously take longer and im hoping millwall will chip in here to cover this.
simple
my set up consist of a 1x1x2m tent, 6 plants in 16lt fabric pots, 1.5lt of clay balls on the base followed by 14.5 lts cannaterra pro soil mixed with about 15%perlite, 400w hps, on a 18/6cycle.
these can be used in coco n autopots just look at the manuals for the schedule n mix up
there is a few things i would alter for next time, instead of inserting the tabs when the seed goes in like i did this time, which resulted in the soil being a wee bit too hot, i will wait till week 3 from sprout before adding one tab then again at week 6 from sprout the second tab, ( my pot sized determined how many tabs i needed) by doing this i think i can stager the release of the ferts without burning the young leaves, but was no biggie really they got over it easily enough.
there was a huge change in growth rate from the off, the wife could discern visible growth from lights off to on, were talking rapid cms of spurt!
just for shits n giggles we did a side by side of the tabs vs the biobizz on seedsman purple kush cbd 1:1 automatic feminised,ill let youse decide. these are taken at week 8 from first true leafs
hope this helps with anybody thinking about a simpler grow, thanks fer taking the time to read thu
feel free to add if youve had any experience guys
