Warning to the Hydro Organic Growers

Well, was talking to TK last night through PM. See, i got this nasty smell coming from my grow. Well, i just switched over to the complete line of Bio-Bizz and wanted to give it a run. Well, the smell was so bad, i had to turn up my Vaportek to number 7 on the dial to fight the smell. The smell was so bad, it smelled like a dead body in there. This is a major problem for me and i can't have this. This morning i check the Rez and this is what i found. I got this funk floating ontop of the water and NUtz. I mean this stuff smells BAD. Well, i pulled everything and started cleaning the table and dumped the Nutz and cleaned the Rez. My question and yes Billygoat has problems just like everyone else. Has this ever happen to anyone else using Bio-Bizz? I'm thinking maybe the Rez wasn't clean enough before i mixed that batch and some pathogens where in the rez and started feeding on the Nutz or something. I cleaned everything, and replaced the Nutz with Pure Blend Pro. I've used this stuff for awhile now and never had one problem. I don't got time to take a chance on another batch doing this and i'll test run somemore Bio-Bizz once i get back from my trip. I want to hear from anyone that has had a problem like this with Bio-Bizz or other organic nutz.
Thanks everyone

I'm not knocking this product. In two day the little clones were sucking this stuff down and they seem to love. TK has used it with great results and i'm sure he'll pop in here and give us some feedback. For now, i'm just going to use my normal mix of the PBP products, because i know it well and the stuff doesn't smell after you mix it up. Will see what others have to say and i'll test a run after i get back. It was some very nasty stuff.
Yuck
Take care everyone

Yep...happened to me too with Bio-Bizz

Yep...happened to me too with Bio-Bizz

Bio-Bizz did exactly the same thing to me BG the first, and last time I ever used it. The temp in the room was a bit warm (around 84F) and in only a few hours the entire room reaked of dead bloody meat with a scum surface floating in the res, it was foaming up, working itself as though there was yeast in it. :mad: After having to get a water hose and siphen 100 gallons out...that I had just filled a few hours prior....I didn't even bother to figure out what caused the problem. I sort of dismissed it as being the heat in the room and perhaps not the best nutes that caused it.

:wave:dg

Thanks Dutch, I was thinking it was Pathogens and i'm sure that's what happen. The heat and it festering in the Rez. I guess i'll be switching back to PBP for now and wait till my Advance Nutz come in and try it. I think it was around two days or so. Nice to hear some feedback from someone that has had the same problem with the same product. Thanks again Dutch and that what makes this place just so Awesome. :) Everyone helping each other.
Take care

Advanced Nutrients Grow, Micro and Bloom. If it's going to yield as muuch as they say it does, then i'll flush the chemicals out with that flush stuff that GH has on the market. I'm going to give it a try and see the differents on Yield and taste, then i'll figure out if i want to grow with it. If it doesn't work out, i'll just keep with the PBP stuff and add the Bio-Bizz TopMax to it. I think the problem was the ALG-A_MIC i used from Bio-Bizz that caused the problems, but i'll figure it out once i do a test run. I don't thinking adding TopMax to my mixture of PBP and Cal-Mag Pro is going to cause the stink like all the Bio-Bizz stuff. I'll know after the testing.

It looked like you were making beer there BG.

i'll drop the guys at Bio Bizz a line and see what they say. They usually get back to me in a couple of days.

The Top Max used in place of Kool Bloom did not smell at all and performed out of this world.

i just started with advanced nute's i must say i am very impressed with them so far......(as far as growth)
and the grow micro bloom is no more then gh at my hydrostore.
same with the big bud as to koolbloom.
the voodoo is the higher priced one of them*but i lov it*
they dont carry the pirania so i did not get a chance to get it maybe next time....
i allso got the b-52,sensizym, barracade,cal-mag. im sticking with gh diamond necter for fulvic acid. be cuz of price.

all be getting all the bloom add'in's allso (overdrive,budblood,bigbud,final phase) we will see :)

if not the taste i want im going back to pbp as well

Thanks TK

I'm also going to try the Big Bud also and see what it does. I think for now i'm going to just use the PBP with the TopMax added to it and see what it does. Lucky, i only bought the small bottles of the Bio-Bizz and i can just use it up with the mother plants in soil,if i'm not going to keep it after testing.
