Well then never stop doing what you are doing have a great time in doing it another thing I do is keep a lot of notes as always
I have started to now myself, I even sat down and did test runs on nutes at different amount per litre and then with another nute added in after in regards to the ppm it gave, so I now can do a slow increase of nutrient and try not overdo it ,
As I've bought the products which will be used over and over I decided to have a play around with them.
Now all these are things will be added to it too, plus anything else that comes up,
It has been good fun, plenty of moments when your there overthinking it all though lol
I will be increasing the feed next time around as this time was water, so I will do nutes nutes water in that order,
44days in now with this autoflower
70-90days for this plant usually according to the info given, the way things are going i could see it being 70 lol,

So, im starting to wonder if I need to change to every day feeding, im noticing that even with an extra half of a litre, these girls are looking a bit thirsty still on the second day, and I would normally feed again on the 3rd day, soil is starting to look dry and feel it but not as bad as the last time as I increased the water I gave them

So im hoping you guys can give me some suggestions , do I increase the amount again to try make them last till first thing on the 3rd day?or do I just feed less every day instead?
And would i do it water/nutes/water as obviously they will be getting more nutes this way?
Cheers guys,

What are you seeing that makes you think they are hungry in between feedings? Got any pics?

Just seeing some of the leaves look bit dry and droopy at the bottom, I guess it could be my fans again thats doing that but the soil is definately drying up quicker now.
I use 5gallon pots so I could put more in them water wise,
Still got about 14hours till next feed too, heres some photo of the leafs if you can see, there's only a couple doing in all fairness lol

But here's the top of soil as well, I just put my finger down below the newer soil I put in and its real dry underneath, maybe I need to put down quite a bit
Its almost like the top new soil is throwing me off of how dry it is, the new top soil is staying slightly damp compared to underneath

Ok. So your calling watering feeding.

There is nothing wrong with increasing the amount you water if they need it.

Sorry, il explain, I feed them nutes through watering,
But I do nutes/nutes/water,
This last feed/watering was the water only part of the cycle

I have intended to up the amount of nutrients this time around also,

As they get bigger they will need more water. As they get into flower they will need more water yet again. And then when they are finishing they will slow down on the amount of water needed.

There is no rule for how often to water. Your plants dictate when they need it.

October 9th i was convinced they were definately in flower, these are autoflowers,and I'm 45days in out of a 70 to 90 day cycle of this strain according to the seedbank,

Today I upped the nutes to 3ml per litre, 800ppm, so quite a big jump, lets see how things develop over next few days, if all is good after second feed at this higher amount of ppm, then I will keep it there for a while,
Il post a few pictures later on so you can see how they are coming on, im sure there still growing new leafs tbh I would of thought it would switch to full time on bud making by now

I've used it for adding some strength to my tent, my new air intake system likes sucking in the sides of my tent, which steals room that I'm already short of, so I stuck a few together and then put them in-between the vertical ones, the sides don't really move now but I'm really starting to have an issue with foliage, I can't see anything in my tent now, its just green everywhere
Thanks for your advice guys, always appreciate the advice

It's crazy how I'm seeing this. I just cut a few bamboo earlier, and plan on cutting more to hold the walls for my 2 tents. What size tent is that? The bamboo for my 2x4 is done. Gotta do the other tent tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply, I am just reaching 28days from starting out, they started preflowering the last few days, sorry I should of put it better, I have just been getting worried about the yellow veins basically,
As for the nitrogen, do I simply just feed with water for a week till that comes back? Or should I carry on with my nutes as its in flower, i appreciate any advice, so far its been a mine field , but it has been really enjoyable learning, and testing things out for my self but as its starting to flower now, I dont want to trial and error so much at this point
Fowering stage should switch to a light mix of phosphorus check ph of soil, i would tranition after giveing just water to flush , but deombwhat i see your plants look very helthy induca dominate by the looks. Induca easyer to grow, not as finicky as sativa. Anywho carry on, goodgrowing to you, im out.

Thanks for the advice,.I did do that and it worked out spot on, im starting to see a bit of development on the buds now, very interesting seeing how they grow tbh

Pk1.48 is best for transferring stuff around the plant, if your humidity isn't right for temperature, it can make your leafs go bad

Got given this today by another grower, could also help explain my leafs, ive had a couple drop off as well, gone yellow and then dropped off at the stalk, big fan leaves too

I think I've not had humidity right level for temp and thats maybe part of the problem along with splashing nutes onto the leafs as well
