After months of deliberating with what peeps call 'haters' my partner and I decided to welcome a challenge to grow successfully using CFL's. The overall view that flooded our ear drums is that you can't grow using CFL's ... they are useless and a waste of time ... you need HPS etc etc etc.

We both agreed that we would use some of the products from the BioBizz range in terms of nutes as they were already in the cupboards. We also had Diatom Earth in there too which is brilliant for getting rid of those niggly pests and keeping them at bay. If you decide on getting Diatom Earth make sure it's the FOOD GRADE one you purchase. Brilliant stuff. I use it in the garden as well as various allotments.

Nutes
Grow.jpg BioBizz Grow ... Bio·Grow is a liquid growth fertilizer which can be applied to most types of soil and substrate mixtures. Bio·Grow activates the bacterial flora in the substrate thanks to it basis of 100% Dutch organic sugar beet extract, commonly known as vinasse. Vinasse is syrup that contains sugar. The natural sugars and potassium in Bio·Grow are the guarantee for an ample harvest with very sweet fruit. How to use Bio·Grow Bio·Grow is a complete fertilizer for the growing period. Start with Bio·Grow as soon as the first leaves appear and the plant has a height of 10 to 15cm. Keep using Bio·Grow till the end of the fruit production.
Bloom.jpg BioBizz Bloom ... is a complete liquid organic fertilizer which contains a small amount of nitrogen and enough phosphorous and potassium to ensure exuberant flowering. Trace elements and hormones of vegetable origin are also added to improve the flowering process. Bio·Bloom also contains enzymes and amino acids, which work in harmony with the soil to promote flowering and fruit production. Bio·Bloom for soil, soilless, or fortified coco is therefore a complete fertilizer used from the beginning of fruit or flower production until harvest. It is packed with naturally occurring minerals, micronutrients, amino acids, and hormones of vegetable origin to ensure exuberant flowers and fruit setting.
topmax.jpg BioBizz TopMax ... is a 100% organic flowering strengtheners which has the threefold purpose of increasing the actual size and weight of clusters of flowers, leaving a sweet, smooth taste in the finished product and facilitating the uptake of nutrients by the plants.
algamic.jpg BioBizz Algamic ... destresses the plant after overfeeding, deficiencies, plant diseases or after temperature differences.
ActiVera.jpg BioBiz ActiVera ... Acti·Vera is the newest Biobizz product and it’s main ingredient is the plant of aloe vera. Acti·Vera is an organic botanical activator that protects the immune system, increases metabolism and enhances nutrient absorbtion.
LeafCoat.jpg BioBizz LeafCoat ...
Leaf·Coat is a ready-to-use product that strengthens the plant and protects the plant against unwanted insects and molds. Leaf·Coat is a product made from natural latex that was developed to restrain evaporation.
Within a few hours after application, a very thin elastic layer forms around the leaves. This natural latex creates a protective, permeable, self-degradable layer on the leaf, while at the same time it allows the passage of air and light. This thin layer is however effective enough to protect the plant against pests and diseases.
Diatom1.jpg Diatom Earth/Pest Control ...
DiatomPest® Diatomaceous Earth is effective in both repelling and killing most crawling and flying insects including: Aphids, Ants, Bed Bugs, Beetles, Cluster Flies, Cockroaches, Earwigs, Fleas, Mites, Silverfish, Slugs, Snails, Ticks.

The diatom remains that make up the powder form of Diatomaceous Earth have razor sharp edges. These edges, when bought into contact with an insect, pierce’s the outer shell which allows room for the Diatomaceous Earth to seep inside the insects body. Once the powder gets inside an insects body it starts to absorb the liquids from the body, killing the insect in the process.
PHDown.jpg Ph Down Growth Technologies ... this was the only product we had to purchase ... I can say that you can still get the above forementioned for reasonable monies.
