cool. that will work out nicely then, you coming up here. we can definitely get together. and if i do make it that way i will definitely hit you up. i might have to steal the duct tape trick though!

as far as the biobizz goes.....they have a soil called all-mix that has something called pre-mix in it. the pre-mix is a nutrient blend. so if you use the all-mix soil you will only need the biogrow, biobloom and top max. if you can't find the all-mix soil you can use something called bioterra made by biocanna. my plants seem to love it. any organic soil will suffice. i've been recommended everything from a sunshine mix (either LC1 or the #4 mix. also fox farms ocean forest. i know that's a lot to take in, but hopefully you've gotten some info from it all.

as far as the feeding schedulde i follow the biobizz one. keep in mind the amounts it tells you to add are per quart. i usually round it off, e.g. if it calls for 8mL i will go to 10mL and so on and so forth.

also, the bottles are now an opaque white as opposed to the translucent clear plastic. so the bottles you get might be a little different.

your brothers-in-law should be happy because it's made in holland!

hope this all helps out. i hope you got my email. hit me up anytime.
