Question about Stimulators\Energy boosters

[fatass]

Hi all and thanks or your help
I’ve got all the Biobizz collection including the “luxury” stuff like BioHeaven and Alg-A-Mic
The both claim to include organic stuff in forms of Amino acids, proteins, enzymes & cold-pressed seaweed.

I just fed my plants with BioBizz Nuts according the feeding schedule and got burnt tips.
So,
I’m going to cut the nuts dose in half – but should I also worry about the “Energy\ Vitality Boosters ?

fata$$,
I do not know about biobizz, I use B-Cuzz but in relation to your problem it is still the same thing. I never EVER follow directions on the back of a bottle. I take it you do not use a ppm meter? If you had one you would notice that your main nutes are the ones that caused that burning. IME, B-Cuzz A&B are the main nutes, and my root stim as well as growth stim are the additives. The additives barely make a difference (with the exception of PK) in ppm's. If I make nutes, after filling my res I add my main nutes with no additives and ppm is at (just throwing these #'s up there for ref)) 800, then I add my additives and it is now at 950-1000. I started out with water that only had ppm of 80...so do the math....It is the main nutes that are burning those tips IME. The main nutes, will raise ppm to 1000 or more, the additives barely add 200. However this is with a diff nute line..So IMO I would not change the boosters...but it would be better if you had a ppm meter to tell what each bottle adds to the meter when added to your res. BTW; you could also keep nutes the same and just give them water when you see burnt tips. I usually try to push mine as hard as I can and then when I see tips starting to burn or curl I back off with water for a day or two, while STILL using my additives... Good luck... Go get yourself a ppm meter.

Thanks Justin
Actually I got an EC meter.
But only now after I read your post I got the connection between my question and the digits I’m seeing on that meter each time I irrigate

So say till now with full does I got to 1750 EC and got burnt tips – how low should I get?

 

[smokincheeze]

should be a little under 1000 to be safe

Here's the problem with giving advice...cheeze says keep under 1000 to be safe. We are talking ppms here? I thought an EC meter went in much smaller single #'s. Anyway, the problem with cheeze's response is that he does not ask you (nor have u mentioned) what stage these plants are in.
What stage are u in?
With my ppm meter, when I am in small veg ppm's are only at 4-500, then big veg 7-850 ppms. and gradually raised to 1000-1300 during
flower. So what stage are U at with these?

I'm day 19 of lowering using 1.7 EC whic is something like 1200 ppm

i need to feed my plants adderall they have so much energy

I usually am at 1200 by the 35-40th day or so. I start out at about 900 in flower and gradually take it up to 1250-1300 towards the end. IMO it is too high, do not cut them in 1/2....maybe just cut it down a bit.

Thank Justin,
I guess that this is what I'll do
Since I'm growing two strains (HS & AUH2) it is time that I stop treating them in the same manner - looks like the auh2 can take more then the HS

OH MY GOSH, growing two different strains as new grower...going to get interesting for you. If I grow TWO different strains I find (depending how diff) I have to make seperate nutes and have water ready for one strain that is getting burnt tips, while the other is a nute hog...etc etc...good luck.
