A question, friends… For those who work with the Bio Bizz line of fertilizers… perhaps any recommendation or tip based on your experience using these fertilizers would be a great help. Thanks to all.

I used it years ago in my first grows, I don’t remember anything bad about it.

Thanks, and maybe some comment on why you no longer use them? Perhaps a better brand of ferts?

Not at all, as it’s organic, you get a much better flavor and smoother smoke because it’s 100% biological. Plants don’t eat that; it’s the soil microorganisms that process the food. If you want quality, it’s one of the best options out there. I switched to topcrow/plagron or similar because they are hybrids between organic and mineral, like topcrow, or plgron or mkp, which are 100% mineral. Minerals are pure and direct food for plants, and they grow more and yield more THC, but their flavor isn’t as pure in the end. I’m not that much of a purist haha; sometimes only organic and sometimes mineral or sometimes both, it depends. For example, if you grow a variety for its flavor, it would be a crime not to use 100% organic, but if for some reason, like me now, you want more quantity, then you use minerals. With some Gorillas Fast, which is what I have now, I’m not exactly looking for an exquisite flavor, but rather to fill up the empty pantry a bit xD

Thanks friend for the comments, that topic is clear to me now, I had it tangled in my mind lol so the bio bis range suits me well because I’m looking for more flavor

Although I do like that part of more THC production haha, have you noticed it or a slight change between THC production or pistils or flower density?

I’ve switch from Biobizz to Bionova and have to say that with Bionova it’s much easier to control EC, also the yield and quality is much better now.

yes, especially they get fatter, the problem with organic (which is not a problem) is that you depend a lot on the life of soil microorganisms, and it’s difficult to measure EC because, as I told you before, it’s not actually food for the plant, it’s food for the microorganisms, so one is more precise when dosing mineral fertilizers than organic ones.
yes, it shows, because in reality it’s like giving it steroids, but it also shows in the flavor, if you notice I think most people here only use organic, because it also shows a lot in the smoke, even if you do root flushing it will still not have a pure flavor.
organic is always better for the flavor, as I already told you, it’s because my pantry is empty xD
and 1 plant is for discarding because I’m testing hormones on it and even a branch mutated with 3 heads, I have many seeds and wanted to experiment.
I am not a purist about the flavor of plants, unless I cultivate a specific variety for its flavor, I prefer them to be bigger and more potent, but in truth, I’m not a big fan of brands either.
have you always used organic?

Thanks mate, I’ll keep that in mind… if I wanted flavor, density and aroma

Well, this is my first grow with Bio Bizz; in my first and second grow, I used inorganic fertilizers, that’s what it said on the bottle
those that say Nature grow, Nature bloom,
which I believe are common fertilizers… I cultivated a Moby Dick XXL auto and well, I had airy buds, very airy, but I think it was more my beginner’s inexperience from my first grow that resulted in airy buds. Now that I think about it, quite apart from the ferts, I think experience, techniques, pruning, the vegetative time you give them… the time you give the girl to develop and mature better before flowering, defoliations, etc., light, etc. also have a lot to do with it… true… the Moby came out perfect, super beautiful, always green and never had deficiencies. One of the biggest failures was that the meters broke 4 weeks before finishing flowering, I had to stop watering with ferts and start with just plain water without measuring pH or anything because in 2021 here in my country it was difficult to get almost everything, now it’s easier, and I found Bio Bizz because I saw a grow tuber (House Of Weed), a highly recommended channel
Where I learned almost everything I know, who cultivated with that brand of ferts and had beautiful buds, mini Christmas trees haha. Of course, he used trichodermas which are definitely needed for the micro-life in the soil or molasses too
But anyway, it’s my first grow with Bio Bizz, let’s hope for good results… and depending on that, I might switch to Bio Nova as my friend says… I like natural more and try to harvest dense, plump, and tight flowers, and a bit long if possible.

biobizz is very good, I would use it again. I also know “house of weed”, I follow him too and I’ve seen many of his videos, I really like the guy. Luckily, airy buds never happened to me. Still, no one, no one has a perfect cultivation. Sometimes you come home tired and you have to water or prune and you leave it for tomorrow. What helped me the most to improve my cultivations is not to touch the plants, and certain golden rules that I respect even though it costs me a lot xD
I’m not a pro like many others on the forum, so for me it’s important to follow my golden rules xD
1- never water without measuring pH. It can cost you 3 months that you’ve been waiting, and you ruin it in minutes by not measuring pH. For me, pH is only 70% of the cultivation.
2- don’t touch them, don’t bother them, don’t move them, only and exclusively when necessary, meaning when it’s time for pruning, transplants, LST or SCROG.
3- remind myself to leave the plants in peace without touching them or checking on them constantly xD, no matter how much time passes, one still feels the need to go see or touch them xD
4- respect pruning times, prune when it’s due, neither before nor after, plan. For example, when I want to switch them to 12-12 flowering, I do an aggressive prune a week before so they recover, and as soon as I see they’ve lost the pruning stress, I switch them to flowering, so they enter the stretching phase with full energy (this year I should have kept the growth fertilizer one more week) things you learn the hard way xD
5- a deficiency is easily fixed, an excess is not. It’s better to err on the side of giving too little than too much. The same applies to watering, it’s better for them to be thirsty than to drown.
6- don’t touch the plants xD
With these rules, I manage quite “well”, but they are my own things, because I know myself and if it were up to me, I would be touching them, moving them all day, this leaf yes, this one no.
I recommend another YouTube channel called “en volá” by some Chileans, what a good channel, I love the guys, they do interviews, tips, etc., I really recommend it, the interviews are very entertaining.
Do you set rules like me? For every mistake I make, I remember it so I don’t repeat it.

regarding Trichoderma or mycorrhizae
I used it on 7 plants, and used up 1/4 of the bag, which cost me about 3 euros, they take a while to arrive, but… look at the price, and look how they work.
and like these, many, many things at ridiculously low prices, that said, this is what I mean by not liking “brands” because they sell you that, the brand, not the product
I hope it’s not forbidden to post these images on the forum, if so I apologize and will delete the thread, or the mods will delete it

Thanks friend for the super useful comments and opinions
And the truth is, yes, every error, depending on its severity, I note it in my brain as extremely important, like for example, pruning only when necessary, defoliating when the plant or space demands it… and rule by rule, a small personal cultivation guide has been formed for better plantlet formation and growth… In general, seeing them very often… extremely often and in detail (careful, without touching them, just looking at them with great detail leaf by leaf, stem and branch by branch helped me a lot
At the beginning, in the 1st cultivation, I looked at the moby dick so much that I literally felt like it was talking to me and asking for water, music, conversation, etc… it was crazy and that time I was detoxing to make the most of my 1st harvest
Returning to the topic, by observing them so often and in detail, I learned these things
1 light stress, heat stress, or inappropriate VPD stress
2 early stretching and, in turn, LST and focusing at certain heights to no longer suffer from stretching
3 soil moisture stress or overwatering
4 early deficiencies like nitrogen
5 better understanding the plant according to its nutritional needs and according to its varieties or genetics, depending on whether or not it’s the same genetics, they will always be different from each other
6 knowing where to direct the LST… it’s not just bending for the sake of bending
7 after each prune, knowing if it suffered stress or not, or after each transplant
The detection of these ups and downs that we all usually have in cultivation became easy to detect thanks to having seen them so often from seedling to flowering… so yes, I believe that giving the plants more attention without touching them, just looking very closely, and from a distance, seeing their reactions to the light, to the food, to the watering… will help a lot in the future.
And with that about the fertilizers, I’m excited to read your comments, so I’m sure I’ll have a good harvest by mid-April, great, thanks friend
