Nutrient confusion

Hi

I am new to this forum and everything else, ehm. I am looking for somebody kind enough to help me understand a few things, as I have searched the Internet and was left really confused. This is the situation:

There's a plant that hasn't been on a proper fertilizer schedule, due to a lack of knowledge. She is in a BIOBIZZ Light-Mix soil, and has Bio-grow and Bio-bloom fertilizers available. She started recieving Bio-grow after being 3 weeks old, and about 30cm high. She would have it every third or fourth day, right after watering. I understand now that she was perhaps suppose to be given this much earlier, but this is how it went down. Week 5, she's about 50cm, having the tips of her leaves slightly curved.

These are my questions:

1) If you are meant to mix 2ml per liter water of Bio-grow, how much of this mixture does she need? The whole liter? A cup?

2)If you are meant to use it with every watering, does that mean that you water first and then ad mixture? Or is the liter of the mixture meant to be used as for both of those actions?

3)I thought that vegetative faze is suppose to last for about 2 months (during which time the light is on 18-6), followed by the flowering faze for another 2 months (12-12). But, the Biobizz Grow Schedule suggests that the vegetative faze is only 2 weeks long. Utterly confused here. How long is it?

4)Is she meant to be watered and given the fertilizer mixture once a week? (Just to confirm) - and how much water would be advised?

5)How to proceed or better, how to organize the fertilizing schedule from now on?



If I have too many questions, I'd be happy to have the answers to at least number 1, 2 and 3 as I have been looking through forums and I can't figure it out. There are millions of topics but none of them are telling me what I need to know.

Help would be so much appreciated!

I use biobizz and I pretty much stick to biobizz schedule.
Take your 1litre of water and mix nutes into it before giving to plant. Mix nutes into every watering.
Lift the plant by the pot when it's dry and feel it's weight then after watering lift again and take note of weight. Then to know when it's time to water just lift to see if it feels dry weight.
You will get used to it. Takes a couple of times watering and you will learn the weight method.
I water with a litre per plant maybe a touch more when they're are in heavy flower.
By mid flower I'm using a litre a day.
Ya with biobizz light mix you should feed earlier. Like 7-10 days I believe.

Oh and veg time is how long you want it to be. What you have to take into account is how high your grow area is.
The plant in its 1st few weeks of flower will sometimes triple height at least double.
So with this in mind and the space needed between tops of plants and lights you can work out what height to veg the plant till.
I veg my plants to around 15inches then I put into flower but I'm in a grow tent with limited grow height.
