Awesome. As I'm reading, I'm thinking back to my 1st grow, I'm realizing exactly where things went wrong n now that I know, I'm not gonna make the same mistake. I had left my auto alone during the flowering stage n figured I had a couple of days left. In a matter of 4 days, the res was bone dry n the plant was wiltered beyond belief. I do run them on a weekly based system, wash everything, n replace the water, n balance the ph. I haven't been using any nutes, because I believe I caused some serious chem burn in the beginning n I'm trying to get them back in good health b4 I reintro the nutes. Been flushing them out every 2-3 days. Hope this is helping them out n not causing more damage. Keep up the good grow!ok
the photo plants are going to be less work ........they do not feed as heavy as the autos
your auto plants ......when they go into flowering u are going to notice that the PPM is going to drop and the amount of water in the system will drop .......this makes the PH very unstable the more it feeds and drinks the more the system is going to need balancing ...........by the end of my monster plant i was doing it 4 to 6 times a day
i am assuming u are runing on a week time table ........dump out the water rinse out the buckets fill with water add feed ph put plant back in .......to get a auto to do well u are going to want to keep the feed high
so sometime during the week when u add water back into the bucks (day 3/4 in the week rotation) add in 1 gallons worth of feed back into the system to replace what was taken .....( u know what ever your feed plan is use 1 gallons worth of feed add it to the water u are putting in to replace what was used in the last 12/24 hours ) u will be happy u did ......if u want u can try doing it one and leave the other alone
