@Island grown
u should of been feeding them those when u first noticed the Stretching of the plant

Start them now .......if u are using FF u want to use the open seasme powder .......if u are other things u want to do a mix of 50/50 grow and bloom ......over the next few days remove the grow and go 100% bloom with what ever stackers u use

 

[Island grown]

This is what I have

 

[Island grown]

How often do you used open sesame every 2 weeks ? Or every week?

 

[justugh]

This is what I have

hey man
ok u have part of the Fox Farms kit ........only part tho (good part )
order this it is a full kit ......all organics
http://www.amazon.com/General-Hydroponics-Organics-Go-Box/dp/B004PS4B08

once u have the kit they have a plan on the side u can fallow .......as for what u have now
1 tablespoon per US gallon is the maximum power they tell u to use with this (u do not have the complete kit to help remove the salt build up so full power for u is not a wise choice)

Use 1/2 tablespoon to 1 gallon of water shake it up and use that on the plant (open seame) .........do this 2 times a week for the first 10 days on a Auto .........by then the Kit should come from amazon so u will have Bloom and other things to use (as they are organics u do not need to worry about salt build up or PH issues)

at about 14 days u can use the Beastie Bloom at 1/2 power 2 times a week for about 2 weeks then stop that stuff ......and just stick with the organics

if u are going to keep growing
this is not just a one time thing/hobby

order self some pipettes 1 ml and 3 ml .........they make mixing up feeds so much easier
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=pipettes
the plans on the side are in MLs to 1 us gallon ( us gallon is 3.79 liters ) .......i ordered 500 of each 2 years ago i am about 2/3 done the boxes now

 

[Island grown]

I have this one to but it's not ff

 

[justugh]

I have this one to but it's not ff

that is a new brand on me but the NPK rating is posted 0-10-10 ........good odds are this is a chemical feed too
u are at the start of flowering .......the plant still needs N along with a heavy dose of PK too

at this point i can only tell u what i think is right i do not have any exp with that brand or what about to tell u
the big grow and the bloom ........give the plant a 50/50 mix........but only half power to a full gallon of water

use the open seame ......then water next time ....then 50/50 mix ...then water...then open seame

the kit linked u should get there by then u will see what i am talking about the bloom has a good NPK on that set plus they give u something to add to the flowering feed to increase resin and stink/taste ......plus that kit comes with something called Liquid fish the plants love this stuff it squid in a blender

Thanks buddy good info

I would hold off on the nutes. I'm no expert. But I wouldn't feed until the plant starts looking like it needs. With my last/first auto I pushed them to hard and between 3 plants I only got 2 oz.


I'm in week 4 with no feed

 

[Island grown]

There doing good with there nutes

hey man .......try my method one time u will like what it does .......later i will grab u pics .....i can show u what the different is from feeding from the start to only feeding during flower (feeding from the start gets u a much thicker stalk with more buds heavier weight)

here u go (soil and light the same plus water amount)
this one is a plant that was had feed the whole life of the plant

this is the same strain with out feeding every other day (only gave it the starting rooting for 10 days and flowering )

now these 2 are barely any feeding until they were in flowering ( 2 different strains )


the stalks and the roots are linked their by linking the yield it makes those 2 upper ones i am looking 4 oz plus off each plant 5/6 is what i except .......those lower 2 are smaller and my feeding has started to bend the branching from weight of flower 2 or 3 oz at the most were they should do near to 6 to 10

feeding a auto flower tho out the whole life of it is the smarter choice then waiting for it to flower.....the yields increase greatly .....it is just a matter of adjusting the feed str to soil str to what the plant wants /can handle

 

[Island grown]

My stems are fat and thick

 

[Island grown]

That's how's fat they are

 

[Island grown]

They look good

 

[Island grown]

These all are autos

I get what your saying. My thing is that you have been growing for a while most people who just start with autos are not going to see 2 oz plants. And they will make it worst buy over feeding them. Trust me I want to become a great auto grower like you. I will slowly which over to LEDs for temp issues and pull a few p off each grow but as for now I'm taking it easy.

that is why i am trying to help ......pass the methods i learned from exps on to u ppl so u can see things i do not and improve my skills even more

feeding a Auto is easy ........Just start with Organics .......the go box
use at least 3 gallon planters and a timing of 20/4
the watering is 1 quart of water every 2/3 days for first 10 days when that 3rd node shows up half gallon ( 3 gallon planter the max water retention is just little over 1/2 gallon)

fallow the plan on the side box .........when in bloom u can increase the feed when u see a burnt tip look on leaves back the power of the feed down some and hold it

once they do that and learn to keep it going ........i would introduce them to Chemical feeds ....mixing them in with organics (that is the techinally hard part and where ppl can mess up ) but the strait organic feed strong light (above a t5 2 foot 8 bulb) and they will pull 2 oz or better
