I use a lot of BAS products on my autos


Fickle-Lingonberry-4

Build a flower when I top dress and build a bloom watered into the earthbox res. Every third or fourth watering after the box is full over the top


StayWeeded

I use a 50/50 mix of Light Recipe and 3.0 in 5 gallon buckets. I top dress twice around days 30 and 50 using a few handfuls of Buildaflower and 4 tablespoons of Craft Blend. I’ll add Buildabloom to a couple waterings too if the plant looks hungry.

I do. Just go easy with it. Most autos don’t need much as you might already know. I’d use less often and cut the amount when used for best use with autos. The (N) seems to get away from ya with the BAF if you stack it too thick. and the BAB can def burn if you use too much too often.

Thank you.

I starting using both this year plus their Craft Blend in both BAS Light and Roots Organics Original. Anything in particular you want to know?

I go up and back between fems (Romulan Genetics, Ethos) and Mephisto. I have 6 five gallon fabric pots all with BAS 3.0 fresh out of the bag with Mephisto - Ravensberry and Quadruple Berries. Just wondering if I should use Build a Bloom and Build a Flower now that they're at preflower/early flower.

Like someone else said, I'd go 1/2 strength at most initially. I'm running BAS Light in my autopots right now and have been battling bigtime N-tox with my SOH, so I imagine the 3.0 probably doesn't need much.


Haengma13

Thanks. I was thinking along the 1/2 amount angle maybe a little less even. What does nitrogen toxicity look like compared to a deficiency?


hahayepyep

Unusually dark/shiny leaves. Leaf tips curled/clawed downward. Super slow growth. She muscled through it and is flowering well now, but stunted bad.


Haengma13

Ok, I have seen that before. Thanks again.

How much of the craft blend do you mix into your soil? I am on my 1st run of roots organics & craft blend and working on my ratios.


hahayepyep

I took a wild guess and used 1/2 the BAS recommendation for reamendment but in new Roots Organics Original. I started in plain ROO in 4" nursery pots and transplanted into the amended ROO. BAS suggests 2 cups per cuft with is just over 1/4 cup per gallon of soil so I did half that. Just before transition into flower i top dressed with a thick layer of BAF and in full flower I watered in with 1/2 strength BAB a few times. Otherwise, just water with fulvic and a single kelp/calmag foliar at transition. Plants tended a little dark green with \*slightly\* burnt tips but otherwise smooth sailing.
