Ok so with me running autos should I lower the amount any or just run with that
Shouldn't really matter that they are autos. You can start lower and bring it up as you go if you want to be cautious or just feed them as the list states and if you start seeing issues back it off a bit. It's really up to the plants how they react and it can differ from strain to strain.

Ok I really appreciate your help! One more question and I promise I’ll leave you alone.I’m somewhat of a newbie and wanna get it right. Since I’m growing in coco,will that change how much I should feed?

You should feed once a day to runoff in coco. You don't want to let the coco dry out. Some folks feed a couple times a day depending on their plants and pot sizes but min once a day IMO and the runoff is important. Don't sweat the questions, ask all you like. If I can't answer there are lots of others who can. Better to ask and avoid a mistake than having to come asking how to correct one ;)

That’s probably the best quote I have ever heard. So I should water even if my coco is not dry? My coco is drying out every 2 days or so!

The point of daily feeding is to replenish the nutrients taken by the plant and flush out what it didn't take. This means the plant never lacks anything.

Even if it seems wet you don't know it's not dry in spots. When it dries you can get salt build ups and such. Are you using fabric pots? Do you have any perlite in your mix?
Yes fabric pots 2 5 gallons and one 10 gallon and yes 2 8 quart bags in my mix I have a good bit of perlite

Ok, so you got to figure on your coco drying out around the edges due to air going through the fabric pots so even when it seems wet it may be dry around the edges. Some don't use perlite but the added perlite will also help keep oxygen in the root zone so yeah, at least once a day would be good.

Ok that makes sense I really appreciate it you don’t even understand these are questions I have been wanting to know but have never been able to get them answered
