I have been using Bio Bizz for a while now without fault, also there nutrients are good IMO
i only use there grow and bloom fertilizers but feel its enough for good growth.
While in bloom stage, you use grow and bloom too mix a tailored brew for your plants!
Other than that i only use some Epsom salt for Mg deficiencies and some Bat Guano for an added punch from week 4 to 7 depending on strain.

Re: Finally found a forum for soil growers!!
I have also used plagron bat mix and (local garden center Multi-purpose Compost) all with good results!
I think most of the soil you can buy at you hydro store is over priced and if you look in garden magazines for your country you'll find what gardeners are getting good results with.
The next step is to try there best pick with qualities that a cannabis plant would thrive in and you'll get good results! for less the price
Example my local garden center sales a 70l bag of multi-purpose Compost for £3.98 and i have amazing results when using it but Bio Bizz sales a 50l bag for £12.50

Re: Finally found a forum for soil growers!!
for you experienced soil growers:
How often are you watering?
Do you include nutes in each watering?
Do you flush?
When do you start your pre-harvest flush?
Do you use plain water only?
How much water do you use per gallon of container?

Re: Finally found a forum for soil growers!!
Do you flush?
I water on a wet/dry cycle
Do you include nutes in each watering?
i only use plain water during my potting up stages but do like to use a little Rhizotonic now and again! but in bloom i feed every watering, unless i've over done it
Do you flush?
When do you start your pre-harvest flush?
No i don't flush but i'm using organic nutrients, instead of starving my beautiful plants for the last two weeks i gradually reduce the amount of nutrients i give them towards the end of flowering, ending with the last waterings, with just plain water!

There are so many Bloom boosters for soil! I was lucky yesterday...new hydro shop opened close by and the owner gave me a free sample of Atami bloombastic. Looking forward to seeing its magic. Anyone else try this? Also you know Cha ching from Fox farms is a good bloom booster. Bat Guano would be a...is a great organic bloom booster. I use Budswell bat & sea bird guano with worm castings.

What is a wet/dry cycle? does that mean that you let the medium dry out before watering again? I would water when dry, usually every other (or every 3rd day).
The 5 gal container of Bio Bizz All Mix soil takes about 1.25 gal before draining out the bottom.
When I grew (I had to give the whole cab to a friend to finish, they are 3 weeks in 12/12), I was using Schultz plant food, 10-15-10 every watering,
for flowering, my friend is now using:
Schultz 10-15-10 (2 dropper fulls per gallon)
Bio Bizz Top Max (1 tsp/gal)
Bio Bizz Bio Bloom (1-3 tsp/gal)
Cal Mag plus (1 tsp /gal every other watering)
He's experiencing some yellowing and necrosis on the lower leaves.
He ph's the water with a tsp of vinegar / gal water to about 6.4.
I'm thinking there might be a buildup of nutes in the soil and needs a flush.
what do you guys think?
I will try to get some pics tonight from him.
