Biotabs - Mephisto Genetics method for autoflowers
So in my search for info on organic growing, I stumbled across the method that Mephisto Genetics uses in their breeding program using biobizz soil and biotabs.
What you'll need:
20ltr bucket or pot
Biobizz Light Mix
Biobizz All Mix
Biotabs (just the tablets)
Biotabs Bio PK
How they use them:
So what they do is plant in light mix then transplant to full mix but that has a risk of stunting the plants growth, and with autos... That's the last thing we want to do. They've had years of practice doing this.
They also say you can fill large pots with the bottom half Biobizz Full Mix and the top half with Biobizz Light Mix. Then they just use water for the first 2 weeks. At the start of week 3 they add the tabs and continue with just water after that.
Other people on Reddit have adapted this method by using the Biotabs Bio PK too. Once you see the first sign of pistils growing, you wait 2 weeks and at the start of week 3 you add the Bio PK with every watering according to the instructions on the bottle.
The best way to grow weed is to keep things simple and it doesn't get much more simple than this. No need to check PH or EC or mix feeds or anything. Just dechlorinate your water for 24 hours before hand and you have more free time to dial in your environment and do some LST on the ladies.

Re: Biotabs - Mephisto Genetics method for autoflowers
I like the sound of this, simple is my middle name.
Was thinking of chucking a couple of cuts out in the greenhouse this year, this looks like it could be an easy way to grow them out.
Thanks for sharing

Re: Biotabs - Mephisto Genetics method for autoflowers
I've been using biotabs for years but started getting issues with them with photoperiod plants. I think using the full mix in the bottom and maybe adding more tabs after veg would solve it. I'll eventually use my bokashi compost in the bottom half and see how that works out

Re: Biotabs - Mephisto Genetics method for autoflowers
They say you should use a minimum of 18 ltrs so your pot is probably too small for this to work. Try a bigger pot and see if that helps if you want to try them again. I just started one in an 11 Ltr pot though so fingers crossed I can pull this offMrNice wrote: βFri Dec 31, 2021 2:29 pmTryed that KD had 50% top BIOBIZZ light mix soil and bottom 50% Full mix soil still ran into problems

Re: Biotabs - Mephisto Genetics method for autoflowers
I was thinking of getting the Plagron Batmix for the bottom half myself. The seedling soil has done me right so far for the last few years. I'm not sure if the problem I'm having is because the Bactrex turned to goop or because I switched to Monkey Nutes soil but either way, I'm going back to the seedling stuff and ordering stuff fresh, straight from Biotabs themselves. There's no telling how long stuff has sat on shelves from the shops here. Thinking about it now... The last time I used Flora Duo the Bloom was cloudy, but this stuff now is clear! I'm never buying from shops again anyway!
