Might have to invest in some and drop the Foundation next time as its just too expensive. It is the Vitalink one, but its just Fulvic Acid as far as i know, not sure it does the root stimulant on its own tho. I still use a separate root stimulant as well so it's hard for me to tell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The further away from the equator line you are the more land surface the sun's photons have to spread because of the curve of the surface, this means less sun power the further away you go from the equator line. This is something UK outdoor growers don't take into consideration when comparing indoor to outdoor, UK outdoor has the lower sun light power, where indoor growers(with decent lights kits) have closer to the equator line level intensity.

Not sure I want it in my flowers It works great, but it's not something that gets used up by the plant it kinda just stores it in its cell tissue, it short it doesn't go anywhere so what ever amount of it you put in will be there still at harvest. I've used it a lot of times and experimented with different ways to use its added strengthening, but I now think I prefer without it.

Boojum Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 Cheers for the replies folks I'll look into Fulvic acid and it seems like switching the Biobizz grow for fishmix when my current bottle runs out is something to consider. Don't think I'll bother with silicon, don't really need any additional strength in the structure of the plants, autos don't get particularly big so seems unnecessary for me. Thanks folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep both in stock and sometimes even alternate between them. The fish mix is stronger and you need to be more cautious with it than the grow, go easy on it to start with until you get a feel for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvester growdrobe Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 The only additive I use other than seaweed is a banana tea. Just chop up some banana skins into 2cm-ish chunks, steep in a jar of water for a couple of days then strain (most of, I'm not particular) the chunks out and keep in a jar in the fridge. It can be quite strong though, so I drop my bloom feed a little when using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumroom Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 The main thing I’d add to your list, would be some Mycorrhizal/Trichoderma powder. Don’t need expensive canna based stuff, Q4 rootmore will do the job perfectly well It’s another thing that helps root development and it can also boost plant health via a symbiotic relationship.

murphyblue Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I grow in a peat compo £6 a bag from local garden centre. Fungi stuff the Q4 shumroom suggested its cheap but does the same job as the expensive ones. Doff liquid seaweed again cheap and only use it for seeds and seedlings. Then i use Flower Power till i chop. Its usually about £30 for a 1.5kg tub. 1 scoop in 5L of water and pour. I have been using it since last year indoor and out i really can't fault the stuff. It even corrects my shitty soft water had to use cal/mag with intense and biobizz in fact apart from the liquid seaweed i ditched all the bottles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Rhizophagus irregularis is the one that works with cannabis, previously known as Glomus intraradices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizophagus_irregularis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazeworks Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I would be using Mollases instead of the epsom salts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
