    Default How long for organic nutes to kick in?

    Hey friends

    I have just transplanted into Bio Bixc All mix which I haven't used before but I wanted to try it as it's supposed to be 100% organic. Problem is, my plants were a bit under fed as they went I because they had exhausted their previous medium and I thought I would let them feed up in their new substrate once moved. They've been in just under a week now and still not back to lush green and I have realised the organic nutes may be slow to release. Anyone know how long til they have food available? Am wondering whether to wait, dash some mineral feed in (don't really want to have to) or poss foliar feed if necessary.

    Many thanks,
    DT

    Bio Bizz all mix is good for 4-6 weeks in the early stages of a grow, what nutes are you using? Your plants may also be stressed from the move, abit more info would help

    A week? I would have expected to see a difference by now....

    Hey Chef, thanks for replying. At the moment am not really using any notes, they were in Plagron All Mix pre fertilised peat mix in 6 litre pots which they seem to have exhausted as they were showing a little deficiency before the move. I was concerned it might shock them if I added nutes then within a few hours dropped them into a rich new medium so I was hoping they'd green up once in. But they are taking some time to respond.

    They could be a bit shocked I suppose. Tbh they were a bit sensitive to their last re putting. although deficiency was there before the transplantation.

    I was wondering whether to wait, add some nutes or even foliar feed?

    I have heard good things about the bio biz soil generally, tho.

    Thanks MC, me too but I have never used 100% organic nutes before. If they don't green up soon I may have to add some additional fertiliser.

    What strain are you growing and are they auto's or photo's you . If auto's it's better to start them in the pot their going to spend their life in, I'm growing auto's in bio bizz light mix in 22 liter fabric pots and drop the seed straight in after germination, light mix and bio bizz nutes, the light mix is good for 3 weeks before adding nutes at a 1/4 strength
    All mix is probably a bit strong for autos, photo's on the other hand veg for as long as you want and you have the control. What age are your plants?

    These are Zkittles photos from Black Skull seeds and they are 10 weeks old. They seem to be slowly greening up although I have given them a foliar feed so that may be helping.

    Ok, my plants aren't looking much better despite being in the bio bizz for prob nearly 10 days . Should I just start adding notes even though this mix is meant to be pre fertilised and have enough in it to get through the first few weeks?

    If they are under fed that's disappointing, I heard good things about this product.

    Here are the pics, can anyone provide any advice?
