Mineral in veg & organic in flower?

[ClemSP]

Hi all,

I’m a week or two away from switching to 12/12 and I was wondering if I could use my leftover organic Biobizz nutes for the flowering phase after having vegged the plants with organomineral nutes.

Anyone already tried something like that? I cant think about a reason why this could go wrong, but since im most likely wrong, I’d like to know about your science and experience here!

I grow in peat/perlite 50%. Plants are very healthy and there is no other reason to switch to organic than saving on nutrients money and clear the shelves here!

Thanks all for your help always!

yes you can

Haha so I will then!

After some AI Q&A, it came up with this chart for transitioning, keeping some additional boosters I have.

Would that sound like a good idea? Or just some AI crap?

Those boosters are from a line organomineral nutes from Brazil that I am using. According to AI, I should be reasonably safe using them together.

Any thoughts?

Switching from organomineral to organic BioBizz mid grow isn’t the best idea. It can cause inconsistent feeding and lockout.Better to finish with what you’re already using. I’ve had smoother results running TSP with one consistent nutrient line from start to finish

I’d run it, but I wouldn’t run that chart.

Plants look happy enough, so the danger isn’t “organic after mineral” by itself. The danger is changing feed, adding humic, carbs, resin booster, roots stuff, bloom, grow, all at once because a chart made it look tidy. That’s how a healthy plant gets confused.

Peat/perlite is not a big living soil bed, it’s more of a light soilless mix, so BioBizz can work but it can be a little slower than straight salts. Keep some N through the first couple weeks of stretch, don’t yank the veg food away overnight if they’re still building frame.

What I’d do is simple. Last week of veg or first week of 12/12, cut your mineral base down, start Bio-Grow/Bloom light, then watch the tops and lower fans. If they stay a clean green, keep going. If they pale fast, you moved too light. If tips burn or leaves claw dark green, you stacked too much.

I’d skip most of the boosters until the plant tells you it wants more. Maybe one humic/fulvic type product if you already know it plays nice, but carbs and “resin” bottles on top of changing base feed is asking for noise. Flower feeding is not magic, it’s mostly enough N early, enough P/K/Ca/Mg later, and roots that can breathe.

Also don’t let that peat go bone dry then soaked. Keep an even wet/dry rhythm and don’t leave them sitting in runoff. Those pots look fine, just keep the root zone sweet.

So yeah, you can finish with the BioBizz. Just make the transition boring. Boring grows usually smoke better than clever ones.
