Dr. Green Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Plus one for biobizz I'm a big fab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenkush Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I used to be a bio bizz fan, after switching to green house powder feeds and dialing it in, the trichomes to me look far more dense and resinous. So Green House Powder from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I am currently using BioBizz, although want to try some powder nutes sooner than later. Heard that the Hortimix can work pretty well, so might give it a go - otherwise will see what the Green House Feeds is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Joe Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 It all comes down to own preference end of day. Organic or not. I tested a lot of products and came to like bio Bizz range. I've seen results from other products and it's insane but again.... Each to his own I guess. As long as the plants love it..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoukie Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Personally a +1 for BioBizz (Grow and Bloom), was gifted a bottel of Freedom Farms Fire Juice that I'm using as soon as the Bloom bottle is empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostrovia Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 While we're on the nutrient train does GHE/EHG/Horti-powerders destroy microbes?! I've heard that ph up/down does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostrovia Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I've done a few grows with my super soil recipe (basically jamies garden one) and only bonemeal/bloodmeal dank results . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not actually sure how much truth is behind this. I PH my water with pH Up / Down as I had massive without without doing so - ended up with some pH lockout. I have done microbe inoculations with EM Pro soil, also I use trichoderma and mycorhizzal fungi as well as some other fugcal insecticides and such... Whether it is all in vain due to the PH up / down, I am not sure but I don't think so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ph down) I guess it depends on what u use to adjust your ph..? @Green Leaf Organics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ph down) I guess it depends on what u use to adjust your ph..? @Green Leaf Organics It's a smallish amount though, once diluted in the water is it really going to cause a lot of harm to the microbes though? Not as if it's going directly into the concentrated pH up / down solution though. Also I always avoid using too much of it - like overdoing the pH down and then using pH up to bring it back up etc. I'd rather toss out the mixture and redo it if I mess up like that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol ,inorganic grows(coco/perlite) I dealt with ph up/down allot and to test ph with the drops after ,only to find out you added to much of either ... hectic times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL then adjusting back and going too far again... Lol fun times... Iv learnt to pH my water before adding nutes to avoid unnecessary resdumps with fresh nutes.. Also... The salts in the water from the nutes and pH up and down can be softened if you let your nute solution stand for a day... I wouldn't recommend this with organic nutes... But if it's just the salts I would let it sit a day before adding or using... But if you have regular inoculations you shouldn't have an issue... Keep them up... If you stop the effects will be bad on the micro herd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stop the effects will be bad on the micro herd I rate any salts are bad for your micro herd... well from what I've heard... but this year i'm doing a 1 on 1 test to experiment definitely gonna log it here.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna need to have a 3 way test for that. A few plants that dont get innoculated, your control groups. A few plants that do get innoculated regularly and have salts used as nutes right away And a few plants that get innoculated frequently with the salt solution left to sit for a while. But honestly... You will have bigger problems if you don't let your water sit before you use it... If you are using fresh tap water, your question is irrelevant as the tap water will do way way more damage than the salts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueberryYumYum Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) So may variables in this, need to know how you intend to grow \I use general hydroponics, mainly because my local nursery stocks it, its reasonable priced and I have had great results. I grow in a ebb and flow hydro system indoor Edited August 6, 2019 by BlueberryYumYum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only adjust PH after adding nutes as the nutes usually brings my PH down, however the other day i tried an organic mix, Multigrow form ECObuz. that pushed the PH up. 2 hours ago, CreX said: But honestly...

If you are using fresh tap water, your question is irrelevant as the tap water will do way way more damage than the salts I let my tap water sit for at least 24hrs so the chlorine can evaporate. I use EHG nutes currently, should i mix and let sit for 24 hrs before adding? I just had a moerse issue with salt buildup, runoff was reading at 4600ppm, been watering with only H2o, got it down to 640ppm yesterday, but i ran the firehose through it. hope that water isnt bad, lol. will do a nute feeding tomorrow. Please tag the dude from EHG in this thread, maybe he can answer the question, "does it kill microbes?" @420SA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
