Help feeding

Ok so I have posted on here a couple times and you guys have been amazing so I expect more of the same lol.

so feeding how often do u guys top dress fertilizer/worm castings / kelp meal ? Whatever it is you guys use? I top dressed them about two weeks ago should I do it again?

also I have the general hydroponics flora series that I have been using as I had some nutrient deficiency and wanted the fastest fix.

I only used a tsp of micro and bloom one time two days ago .Here are pics from this morning .

long story short idk if I should feed both items or just 1 and how often ? I was thinking to top dress every 2-3 weeks and use the liquid 1-2 a week just a tsp as well. Is that too much or not enough food? Essentially what’s a good feed schedule ? Also I am in soil .


Thanks in advance to anyone who reads all this and answers . Thanks

GH Flora is a 3-part line that requires using all 3 parts to make sure the plants get all the macro/micronutrients they need. You can grow with just Micro and Bloom if using the right ratio, but if you have all 3 parts, probably best to just keep it simple and save the "Lucas formula" for when you have more experience. Using all 3 parts at 1/2 recommended strength seems to be pretty popular.

I don't do top dressing. I think you're going to make it hard for yourself by using multiple feed types at once. You're kinda trying to run when you're still learning to walk. That's why I recommended Mega Crop - it's just 1 thing to mix and supplies everything they need.
 
I have the mega crops and I have the 3 part system. I have no issue just using one or the other . I just don’t know when to feed lol. I have the mega crop tho if that’s the move I’ll go with that alone .

I personally recommend Mega Crop, but I'm sure even more would suggest going with GH. Can't really go wrong with either, but I think you should pick one. With MC, you can use the recommended dose at every watering. Haven't started using my GH Flora yet so I can't offer any advice on that.

I would forego the top dressing and use the Flora bloom recipe 3,2,1. The worm casting are adding N which the plant looks to have plenty of.

Make sure you are ph'ing the nutrient solution properly after mixing the Flora nutrients. Ph 6.3-6.5 for soil.

I don't see any reason to remove leaves. Those leaves are needed to provide the plant with energy, especially with an auto where the plant has such a short lifecycle.

Just a quick note.
Most people are saying
To use half strength neutz Four, you are autoflowers, just be careful.
Second or third week and it seems like you're plants are stalling
Up the nutrients. I think I've been under feeding all of not all but most of my. Everything I started.r.I.g.y.e...y.f...t.l.t.f.l.g.e.r.n.e.I.k.I.s.i.u.e..giaestaresmtdkedrrdn
