Soil amendments and Biobizz feeding? (outdoor grower)

[shaneinsane]

Hi Guys

I want to level up my game for my second year growing, for which i have the following questions.

Im using freedom farms classic mix and growing in the 40 litre Velcro bags. Last year i fed only black-strap molasses heavily during veg and added Bio-bloom during flowering phase. Results were great.

This year id like to prep my soil by adding a good amendment to my craft soil to boost it, I have the Biobozz Pre-mix in mind. Is this a good amendment? Should i be adding a high Nitrogen amendment?

 Nutes i want to add Biobizz Fish-mix and Biobizz Top-max to my Bio-Bloom. Can anyone who uses any of these products, tell me in what ball park their feeding schedule / quantities are? I know the dosages on the products are conservative, but i dont want to take the chance of hurting my plants. Can anyone give me a guideline for outdoor growing?

 

I would appreciate any assistance from my fellow growmies!

 

peace&love peace&love

I think it is a waist of money. That is just my point of view. If you start with good soil just add compost tea's and seed sprout tea's. Your plants should do great. Rather research those products and make your own mixes. Im not aying their products are not worth it if you have the cash. Comsumerism.

the FF premium classic is great, no need to invest more on soil. You might want to go 60L fabric pots.. bigger even better. Carefull, FF soil does not provide enough stability for monster trees and wind, you need to cage those best.

I like your selection of the biobizz range.. as you know molasses already, just add a bit during flower and you made your own biobizz Grow.

Short dirty table. Lets say you start mid october.

First 2 weeks nada, just let them germinate. 

Start with 2ml fish mix per liter rain water in week 3, beginning Nov.

End Nov, beginning Dec, 3ml Fish per liter, depending a bit on size. End december you change to 4ml per liter fish mix.

Some change faster, some slower. Around 27 jan, they should go or be Pre. Also your swap, redunce to 3ml fish and add 1ml molasses, 2ml bloom per liter

Next change is flowers form, little ones but flowers... 2ml fish, 2ml molasses and 3ml bloom per liter.

Flowers now thick like your little finger. 2ml fish, 2ml molasses, 3ml Bloom, 1ml TopMax per liter

Flowers thumb size... 2ml fish, 2ml molasses, 4ml bloom, 2ml TM

Week after add 1ml TM additional (3ml), another week after another ml... should be 4ml total now.

When all your pistil hair are brown, time to flush for 7 days. Pure water only...

Pity is that plants cant read... but they tell you if you over do it. Just observe new grown material and react. 

Hope it helped...

@SkunkPharm  Thanks for advise!  Ive heard praise about the tea's, makes sense, but havent done the research. Will definitely have to look at it!

 

@Prom  Thanks for this solid feeding backbone. Great reference to work off of what i already learnt in previous grows. With this feeding what kind of watering schedule should i follow, to avoid build up etc?

is a very gentle feeding table... i dont like to burn plants of others. Depending on genetics, expect huge trees. Makes very much sense to top. 

Watering... lift the pot.. feather light, fill till you have a bit run off. Fabric pots like to run over the side and leave inside dry. Bottom feed might be easier with fabric pots. 

Just watch the tips of the leaves... they yellow, swap to water till new grown leaves have the normal green endings. With a fresh bag FF and the biobizz, no way you run in a defficiency, used it to often... if your pots are a bit small... under 60 liter, i suggest to mix a few spoons epsom salt in the FF.

@Prom I'll be growing Northern Lights, White Widow, OG Kush, and trying my luck at Blueberry Cheese.

Should take the topping super well. I have found the trick with the fabric pots is to not move them. Once the soil has created a "seal" with the side of the pot, it is best not to move or change the shape of the pot. If you do, it creates a gap between the soil and the side wall of the pot which just drains all your water away, leaving very little moisture to penetrate the depth of your container. I can see how drawing water up from below will omit this. 

"if your pots are a bit small... under 60 liter, i suggest to mix a few spoons epsom salt in the FF." - is this to be mixed in as an amendment prior to loading it into the velcro pots?

Thanks for all the guidance!
