I dont know said:

Sandmonkey very nice looking plants.... How are you liking the BioBizz line?

Loving it, but like to add the xtras as well. The only product I'm not feeling is TopMax.

Otherwise I'm a satisfied customer. This is my 3rd grow with them and since Europeans aren't too big on organics, it's the only brand I can work with.

Day 38 of 12/12

Haven't updated in a while.

This grow started with 8 plants, 3 starins. I'm now down to 4 plants from 2 strains

I had to leave for a few nights so I gave my plants a big watering before bouncing. When I came back it looked like one of te S'n'S plants died from overwatering :s weird shit.

It's not all bad though, as one less plant meant I had the space to install one of these today. All organic

Here's the last remaining S'n'S (my biggest plants yet!):

And one of the Soma:

I'll get better pics up on Monday, as I'll aslo be coppin some clones to get a perpetual grow going since i have the extra room. I'll probably go with 2 now (maybe PPP) and 2 more once I harvest the Somas.

Stay tuned!

those things are looking frosty? Looks like the biobizz line is good. How is the density of the buds

Yeah BioBizz rocks. The Somas are looking really dense. They should get even denser with the CO2 boost pump.

Thanks. Appreciate the rep

They're doing great, and the Soma's look 10 days to two weeks away from harvest. Don't think they're gonna fatten up too much though. They're definitely not commercial plants

Here's some info on both strains:

I honestly have no clue man.

I got them all from the same grow shop (in Switzerland we got our clones from grow shops... it's weird like that). At about the same time.

The Sage'n'Sours and Somas grew beautifully, but the Ice's never really did. They were short, skinny, and not very leafy.

I then discovered that the Ice had spider mites! I instantly killed one, tried to save the other but realized it just wasn't worth it as it was taking up space for nothing.

probably straight indicas next grow.

Swiss autumn/winter means a lot of cold days where the only solace is a warm sofa and a nice indica.

I'm hoping to get some Master Kush clones (most available Kush strain here) and other than that I'm not really sure.

Whats up sandmonkey...just stopped by to check out the grow. LOOKING GOOD. I am interested in going organic myself...can you give me any tips?

I have been growing synthetic successfully for a few years and I am confident I know enough to move on. Did you make your soil/compost? Are you supplementing with organic fertilizers or is all food provided by soil?

subd.

I guess I'm not a true old-school organic grower. I don't make anything myself. I happily use the BioBizz line plus a few extras (check post #8 on this thread for a pick of my nute line up).

They only thing I would say is that it takes more time to show results with organics than synths. I'm not seeing they yield is any less at all, but the effects of a change in nutes for example would only be noticed a few days after, since these organic nutes need to broken down in the soil before they can be absorbed by the plant. That's why beneficial funghi and bacteria are so vita to a true organic grow IMO.

Organics are the only way to go. My plants just seem to be "happier". And i'm definitely happier with the end results no chem grown bud can taste as good and complex as my organically grown nugs
