I'm using BioBizz Bio grow, Do I use more of this to correct the phosphorus deficiency or do I use something with more phosphorus in it.

I don't think so, I don't know when they were planted but they were seedlings on the 24th of April
They were watered with 1/2 ml of biogrow around the 27th of May and 1ml of bio grow on the 6/6

If your water is hard you can rin into alot of problems I had to get a reverse osmossis cause of hard water. If you cant check the tds of your tap water pour a glass on sum black plastic and when it drys if its hella white its all bad

Just looking at a bottle of cheap water,

calcium = 110
magneisium = 24
sodium = 11
potassium = 1
Chloride = 20
sulphate = 24
nitrate = 0.2
ph = 7
Bicarbonate = 377
Total hardness = 386

Would that be alright to use or does that total hardness seem a bit high?

sounds like tap water lol. I have a pen metter that reads tds and ppm on KCI and 442. bottled water wich is just R/O water that you buy in a bottle should have a tds of no more than 15. the highest iv seen is 32 and that was cause the water that was being cleaned was hella fuked up. just get a 5 gallon jug at wallmart there 7 dollars. go to the windmill thing and fill it up for 1.25 how much water do you need

I was using only biobizz grow and had a huge phosphorus def. Was using RODI water and almost killed my plant. It was a momma so switched to an all purpose, concentrated fertilizer and problem solved.

I think I am running into the same problem using the complete BioBizz line; Alg-a-Mic, Grow, Bloom, and TopMax. Using all those at the levels recommended by the company, I believe I am still running low Phosphorus. I'm thinking of supplementing weekly the same all purpose fertilizer that I am using for the mommas, Miracle Grow Tomato Food at half strength (~600 ppm). Any comments?
