In general, when using organic nutrients, pH adjusting is not necessary. This is because the Biobizz products tend to lower the pH naturally until it comes to the optimal range of 6.2-6.3. However, in some cases the base pH of the tap water can be too high or the grower chooses to use RO water with a very low pH. In those cases, you can use Bio·Up and Bio·Down to regulate the pH of the mix before watering your plants.

Of course! The optimal range of absorption of nutrients is 6.2-6.5 and we can use both Bio·Up and Bio·Down to reach it according to our water base. We can also use both products if we have been regulating and we need to go back.

No, Bio·Down is more concentrated than Bio·Up. The effect of Bio·Down is stronger, as 0,1 ml of Bio·Down in 1L mix lowers the pH by 0.5. Whereas, 0,1 ml of Bio·Up in 1L mix increases the pH by 0.1.

Both products act within a few seconds. We apply the indicated dose of Bio·Up and Bio·Down in the nutrient mix and, once we see that the pH meter does not change in value, we have a mixture ready to be applied to the substrate or turn on the automatic irrigation channel.

No, Bio·Up and Bio·Down are meant to be used in liquid nutrient mixes, not on substrates or dry amendments.

Not always. Sometimes a mixture of nutrients will require lowering the pH, and at other times we will need to increase it. In any case, we can use Bio·Up and Bio·Down together in case we apply too much and need to go back to reach the optimal pH range.

Bio·Up and Bio·Down should always be kept away from direct sunlight and in a cool, dry, and closed place. It is important to close the bottles very well in order to avoid alterations in the products, since they have very controlled and strict pH values.

There is no limit to the use of Bio·Up and Bio·Down, as they do not affect the quality of the nutrients or the effectiveness of the mixture. We can use them as many times as necessary to reach the optimum pH range.

Yes, it is possible to use Fish·Mix as a foliar spray to achieve a rapid absorption of nutrients through the stomata. The appropriate dose would be 1ml/L of water once a week. We should not use this technique too often if we are already adding nutrients through the substrate.

Yes, it is possible to use Alg·A·Mic as a foliar spray to achieve rapid absorption through stomata and a revitalization of the plant. Alg·A·Mic performs its revitalizing action more quickly if applied through the leaves and the plant recovers faster from a possible problem. The appropriate dose would be 1-2 ml/L of water and up to 3 times a week.

Yes, it is possible to use Acti·Vera as a foliar spray to accelerate the absorption of the vitamins in this product. However, if we want to take full advantage of the enzymes it contains, it is better to apply it through the substrate. The appropriate dose would be 1-2 ml/L of water about 2-3 times per week.

Under normal conditions it is not necessary to use a Ca/Mg supplement if we use most or all Biobizz products. Only in some very demanding grows, like some cases of crops in coco coir, would it be necessary to use a Ca/Mg supplement, since it is a demanding and unconventional substrate.

Not necessarily. It is not necessary to inhibit fungi or introduce beneficial fungi into the substrate. It is always a help, but it is optional.

Of course! Using organic material in conjunction with Biobizz products is positive, provided that only organic or ecological products are used. However, it is important not to abuse the organic matter so as not to saturate the substrate with nitrogenous bases.

There is no specific Nutrient Schedule for autoflowering plants, but it is possible to use the current Nutrient Schedule with them. The feeding of the autoflowering is faster, so we should skip some weeks of the regular Nutrient Schedule to adapt to their needs.

Biobizz products should be stored in a cool, dark place, away from sunlight. The ideal temperature to store these products is 16-25ºC. High temperatures can cause the product to ferment and spoil it. Sunlight can change some physical characteristics of the product, such as color and appearance, but not chemicals, so the product would still be good to use. We also do not recommend storing Biobizz products in the fridge, as low temperatures are not good for the organic nutrients found in Biobizz products.

Once opened, they must be stored properly so they can be used for another year.

We can start using the Biobizz fertilizers when the plant is 10-15 cm tall or has 2-4 actual leaves.

Biobizz products contain only the heavy metals that are already present in the ingredients and by-products extracted from nature that we use to create our line. Their presence cannot be avoided entirely, but good management of the products and their carefully selected origin keep the concentrations at low levels.

Yes, it is possible to use some of the Biobizz products in hydroponic systems, as long as you don’t let the nutrient mix sit for more than one day. The suitable products for this use are Root·Juice, Bio·Bloom, Bio·Heaven, and Top·Max.

We need to water the plants according to the specific needs of the crop, the variety, and the conditions of the substrate and environment. When watering manually, it would be enough to water between 3 and 5 times per week, depending on the substrate, temperature, and evapotranspiration. How to know what is the right amount of water? A general recommendation is to water with 20-30% of the volume of the pot in water. For example, in a 10-liter pot we would use 2-3 liters of water mixed with the Biobizz nutrients.

The Biobizz products that contain algae are Root·Juice, Bio·Bloom, Top·Max, Alg·A·Mic, and Bio·Heaven. The algae as a fertilizer base have a revitalizing function, as the plants use them as a photosynthesis activator. The more efficient the photosynthesis is, the better the absorption of solar light, the metabolism, and the plant’s growth will be.

Enzymes are catalysts of metabolic processes. That is, they convert proteins and other complex structures into amino acids and other elements easily absorbed by the plant. Naturally there are a number of enzymes present in the substrate, but we can add them manually with Acti·Vera to facilitate the absorption of the nutrients that we add with Bio·Grow and Bio·Bloom, among other products.

One of the best ways to protect your plants is to prevent them from suffering any attack. Leaf·Coat is a ready-to-use plant-strengthening product that forms a permeable, self-degrading barrier on the leaf and can reduce the need for pesticide use in the applications described. This coat makes the plant stronger against the attacks of sucking insects or aphids and spiders, and makes it harder for them to settle on the plant or feed on it. Leaf·Coat is not a pesticide.

However, it is not necessary to use Alg·A·Mic in all irrigations, since All·Mix is a very complete substrate.

Perlite is a uniform material with large porosities on its surface. Its function is to retain moisture in the substrate due to its porosity, and to ensure that the roots have more surface absorption of nutrients. Perlite is sterile due to its manufacturing process, where the temperature is in the range of 800ºC. It is inorganic, protecting the roots from pests and diseases. It is inert, so it does not react with fertilizer solutions, and it doesn’t form salts. It is insulating, it protects the roots of the plant from temperature changes, acting as a retardant to root heating. In addition, it is lightweight and prevents substrate compacting.

If a little more organic matter is added to the substrate and the second time it is used it maintains its characteristics, it may be used once more, but there is a possibility that the substrate will be used up depending on the needs of the plant.

If a little more organic matter is added to the substrate and the second time it is used it maintains its characteristics, it may be used once more, but there is a possibility that the substrate will be used up depending on the needs of the plant.

If we want to recycle the coco fiber, we will have to compost it for 5-15 days to make the roots disappear and treat it with enzymes. This way the remaining organic material will be converted little by little into nutrients that can be assimilated by the plant.

We use Pre·Mix to give a little more strength and organic matter to Light type substrates. We only need 5% of Pre·Mix and we will have a good complement so that this new substrate has organic matter and reinforced levels of NPK.

Adding Worm·Humus means adding life. No matter the substrate, adding 10-15% of Worm·Humus helps us create a more vivid substrate or revitalize a substrate that has already been used, so that plants have an environment that is more active and willing to nourish the roots .

There is no definitive combination for mixing coco with substrate. The proportion of each one will depend on the needs of our crop and the physicochemical characteristics that we want to obtain in our substrate. It is important to know that the more Coco·Mix we put in the mix, the more humid our substrate will be, and the more possibility there is of fungal problems and diseases if we do not control the temperature and watering well. To create a Light substrate, we can mix 55% of Light·Mix and 45% of Coco·Mix. This will be a moist substrate with high water retention capacity. For a more balanced substrate we would recommend putting 70% of All·Mix or Light·Mix and 30% of Coco·Mix. Each professional has their own technique and the mix can be very varied depending on the needs and intentions of the grower.
