IM currently using a mix of FFOF and happy frog and general organics go box nutes. mi having some problems with necrosis and im not sure of a feed schedule yet. i didnt feed them any nutes until about a week after they started flowering just wondering how soon you feed your plants and what your choice of nutes are

don't do anything but water for three weeks then we only use blue mountain organics at 1/4 recommended dosage each time we water. FFOF, five gallon buckets, 400 watt hps. typically get 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 oz per plant. we only grow three at a time.

I use Botanicare Pro Blend Gro and Bloom. Basically according to the directions, with a little tweaking.

I start with the bloom at 15ml/Gal after the third node shows (usually 2-3 weeks) then when the pistils start showing i make a mix of 15ml/15ml Gro and Bloom per gallon for a week or so... Then I switch to just bloom 30ml/Gallon until week 9. At 10 weeks I use a light bloom mix of 15ml/Gal until the end of week 10.. Then its plain water all the way to harvest...

If I see any sign of a nute burn I switch to plain water for 1 or 2 waterings :)

Oh and I'm using just Happy Frog

hi, we used Botanicare Pro Blend Gro and Bloom on one grow until we discovered the blue mountain stuff. it's all organic, little to no chance of plant burn when used according to the directions. we've used it A LOT. now we used almost every time we water. just at a very diluted solution. typically 1/4 to 1/3 of the recommended. Last two weeks its only water and molasses. with Auto's you have to be careful as the life of the plant is so short. Frist three weeks, nothing but the FFOF soil mix. First hit of BLO is at half dose. then water as i mentioned above until the last two weeks. molasses and water. we use five gallon buckets for our Auto's. Found that you get a much more robust plant and yield. I read about people getting a 1/2 oz and they grew it in a gallon bucket or 1/2 liter soda bottle and just think WTF. bigger is usually better.
