Hi I've been looking around the net, but It's difficult to find any information on this product, apart from the Flairform site. Has anyone any experience of this product? I'm done with Canna Nutes (especially Terra Flores) and am looking to try Green Dream Bloom. What appeals to me about this product is the fact that I have to shake the bottle for 20-30 secs to mix the nutrient, unlike most of these other 1 part nutrients that are now on the market. So it really is like a 2 part nutrient in 1 bottle. The slurry technology is also appealing, so no more risk of blocking of the pipes or valves on my autopot system. Would you recommend this product.? I'm looking at Green …

Been doin more trawling than tiawanese fishing boat Cant seem to find a post on re-using coco without conflicting arguments. Using canna terra pro with 30% perlite and 20% worm castings. Have any u guys tried reusing coco after pulling plants and whether using cannazyme or similar is a must. Iv'e read e/thing from just pulling out old root mass and whacking new seedling straight in, to multiple flushes with expensive root disintergrating, microbe chasing shit straight outta x-files. Some guys swear their plants are greener and buds are bigger when they reuse medium. Others say give yourself 5 uppercuts if u even think about it. Pathegen and pissed off microbes make it eas…

has anyone made their own buffering solution before to help keep hydro pH level stable for longer? couldn't find any threads here about it, or not with the word buffer in the title anyway, and would love to hear other peoples thoughts about making and applying such a solution I've been reading about them for the past few hours but it was only when I came across a comment in the following thread that an easy-to-follow recipe became apparent and within reach of regular joe me (chemistry isn't in my toolbelt): https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_can_I_prepare_a_potassium_phosphate_buffer_005M_and_pH_6 It's a long thread but here is the specific comment that caught my in…

I'm still trying to work out which NPK levels i want to aim for (with limited access to nutrients) Anyway here's a list i've put together so far ... i'm specifically looking at hydroponic nutrients, not soil, although some of these may be better suited for soil or whatever im not 100% sure On the left is the "reduced" NPK where I reduce the lowest value to 1 (if all values are >1) to make comparisons easier. The true/labeled NPK is in brackets on the right after the product name. In no particular order. Reduced NPK: Product (listed NPK): ---------------- ---------------------- 3 - 1 - 2 CNS17 Grow 1 - 1 - 1.5 CNS17 Bloom (2-2-3) 1 …

Hi all. So I've been scouring heaps of posts here about outdoor soil to grow in and there seems to be a number of people who recommend Searles 5 in 1 (of you can find it). Well, I think I did. (See my attached pic) I'm guessing you mix this stuff into your soil or potting mix? And as I'll be growing in pots, how do I know how much to use and do I mix it all through the potting mix or just through the top few centimeters? Sorry for asking such newbie questions but I've never done outdoor before. Cheers.

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well. This is my first ever post here and I'm attempting my first outdoor in pots. (Waiting for my seeds to arrive and of course, September). I live in South Australia, if that helps. I'm also a little paranoid and an overthinker, which is why I'm reaching out right now. All I want to do is grow in a couple of BIG pots outdoors. I have great directional light from the sun so that's not a problem but I'm really confused about the growing medium in pots. I was thinking of once I got my seeds to 'pop' then to put them straight into the pots as I don't want to shock them from repotting. Is that going to be a problem? I was planning on using …

Hi, I really need help with nutrients, I just planted 2 seeds after they germinated (first time ever doing this) and I have a few questions. I just wanted to know if someone could give me a nutrient schedule with ONLY the following nutes includes: Biobizz Grow, Bloom and Topmax. I have seen Biobizz's own schedule but I don't particularly understand it and I don't have all of the other nutes. Also, I am unsure if I am watering correctly, would it be correct if I were watering about 1/4 of the volume of the pot/amount of potting mix in there? The other question I have pertains to germinated seeds, 4/4 popped, I can only plant two right now, is there anything I can do to p…

Two Australian products as supplements to A + B flower mix Bud Monsta. This products' description is "for use in bud formation of flowers and fruit" Is this a PGR? I can't tell from the minimal information on the site. I was told to use it at the flip for two weeks and then move into the Ozi Tonic All I can tell you is when I add it the day I flip them to 12/12 all of the plants stretch and grow more then when running 22/2 on 2.0 EC of nutes. Again I noticed it this time in the first week and with a few hairs showing I had decide to move to straight to the OZi tonic, I really don't need anymore height as I am under control. From my thinking and please as always correct m…
