Hi everyone, my first post here.
So I want to start my second grow,first grow was okay, grew 3 super skunks and got about 40-50 grams dry.
So now I'm ready to start my second grow,and I want this grow to be much better,because in the previous grow, I used some random soil that had ants in it, and used random fertilizer when, I didnt even know about NPK ratings.
I've decided to use Biobizz all-mix throughout the whole grow,as I've read that it's pretty good.
I'm thinking about adding BIO-Grow and BIO-bloom,I found a feeding chart, AND I KNOW THAT I DONT NEED TO FEED THAT HEAVILY, AND NEED TO USE LIKE 1/4 to 1/2 OF THE DOSAGE AT FIRST.

So here's the link I hope you can open it
http://www.hydrogarden.com/content/images/blog/23/12/main/Biobizz Grow Chart.pdf

My question is-do I keep using BIO-grow + BIO-Bloom from week 3 to week 10?? Or do I use BIO-grow for like the first 2-3 weeks and when I decide to go 12/12 light schedule I stop using BIO-grow and use BIO-Bloom?
And should I water them once with plain water,then water+nutes,then water,then water+nutes?
Or do I just keep watering with water+nutes every time it needs water??

Hope you can help me,help is greatly appreaciated!! :)

I dont need help anymore,found everything I wanted by myself,if anyone else has the same problem,here is what you do:

Week 1: 1 tsp Grow
Week 2: 1 tsp Grow
Week 3: 1 tsp Grow + 1 tsp Bloom + 1 tsp Top-Max
Week 4: 1 tsp Grow + 2 tsp Bloom + 1 tsp Top-Max
Week 5: 1 tsp Grow + 2 tsp Bloom + 1 tsp Top-Max
Week 1 of 12/12 : 1 tsp Grow + 3 tsp Bloom + 1 tsp Top-Max
Week 2: 1 tsp Grow + 3 tsp Bloom + 1 tsp Top-Max
Week 3; 1 tsp Grow + 3 tsp Bloom + 1 tsp Top-Max
Week 4: 1 tsp Grow + 4 tsp Bloom + 3 tsp Top-Max
Week 5: 1 tsp Grow + 4 tsp Bloom + 4 tsp Top-Max
Week 6: 1 tsp Grow + 4 tsp Bloom + 3 tsp Top-Max


(For Sativas or plants that need 7 weeks or more to bloom, continue with week 6 until flush)

Err on the side of caution. Full strength as per manufacturer's instructions can burn your plants.
Start at 1/4 strength and see how they react.
What Rm3 is saying is that each strain/plant has its own requirements and you have to learn how to read them. Some may need more, some far less.
Start at 1/4 strength and work your way up to 2/3-3/4 strength.
And yes. Alternate feed and plain water.
Good luck.

Thank you for being the only one that was kind enough to give an actual response!
So if the feeding chart says that in week 2 I need to mix 1ml to 1l ,then I actually start off with mixing 0,25ml to 1l?? If so after how long can I do 0,50ml/l and 1ml/l??

and why are feeding them bloom formula when then are in veg ? where did you find this horrible information ? and what plant only takes 7 weeks to mature fully ? please tell us . here they are taking 9 and I have high co2 wich makes the mature even faster . you seriously need to just go buy a brand like advanced nutrients and look at the back of the damn bottle .

It's my pleasure. I'm a newb as well. This place can get pretty annoying at times BUT if you can filter it out you'll learn a lot. Also look at it as a right of passage. Pay it forward when you get the chance and don't give advice on ANYTHING you don't have experience with. They'll eat you alive.

I'm not familiar with that nute line but yes to what you said. Usually they measure in ml/g but I just divide by 4 to get L.
Start with the .25ml for two feedings (with plain water in between) and watch the plants. Did the tips of the leaves yellow? Did the plants perk up? You'll begin to see what they like and dislike. It's pretty cool.
So after that increase slowly in increments. Watch for negative effects.
Don't go over .6-.75 of full strength.
It really is a case of less is more with these plants.
