Auto Skywalker Haze week 8, lotta pistils but no buds. I have had nice pistil growth for about a week and a half but she seems to have stunted. Only giving Tiger Bloom at 1/4-1/2 strength then plain water thinking it was nute burn but then I saw some pics of light burn and I'm nice and green everywhere but in the light. About 18" is as close as I have had it how high can I go during flower with Autoflower

Oh sir those are some hungry babies. If social services was called they’d have some questions. I would keep that light at like 30 inches from the canopy. But also I would water more often to prevent the plant from dry out and getting crispy and would start feeding it some food.
 
Okay thank you so much I just started using these oxypots with the holes all over and not having a good time with it I have been having issues with that all along, I have Tiger Bloom and I also have the powder Beastie Bloomz which 1 do you recommend and how much can I give her?
 
I’ve never used those before but would just follow the recommended amounts without going crazy. Letting the plant get to dry while in flower will cause some of that crispy edges you see. When you goto feed them give them some epsom salt. It helps build strong flowers and will help with food uptake since they’ve been having issues. If it’s one of those air pots you’ll just have to pay closer attention to your watering methods and how often you are watering.
 
I know it’s basically impossible to over water in those pots so you’ll be fine there. What is your room temp and humidity I would try and keep my temps about 77 to 80 and rh around 50 if possible with good air flow and watering every other day In that pot to every two days at the most. You’ll see her bounce back some and still produce good smoke.
 
Okay sounds good, my humidity stays between 45 and 55 so that's good my Temps are always right in the 80-85 range so I'll try to drop that a hair. I raised the light up and there about to go off for the night I started with 18/6 cycle but now I'm running 19/5 so I'll give her some food first thing tomorrow, thank you again for your help✌️
 
With the food I have, the Powder has more phosphorus but 0 nitrogen the Tiger Bloom I believe has some nitrogen but I think less phosphorus. Basically my question is should I give her something with a little nitrogen or will she be okay without.
 
Using the tiger bloom would be better the little bit of n is fine as she was pretty starved for it a while back. Live and learn each grow you’ll figure more and more out we all do.
 
Leave that beastie bloomz on the shelf. It's a bud booster and should really only be used, if ever, at the peak of flower in very small amounts. You should try to get a more balanced grow formula for them and save the bud and bloom fertilizer for flower. It's better than nothing for now but your plants need nitrogen and K in a more balanced ratio now then when they're in full flower. Any of the big names grow formulas that you have access to will work. Jack's and General Hydroponics are two I had good luck with as well as Advanced Nutrients, but they're a little over priced in my opinion. Once buds have set and the stretch is over you can switch over to Tiger Bloom. If you can't get the grow formula before the plants are done stretching then I guess you will just have to use the bud and bloom nutes and watch for a possible nitrogen issue.
 
Okay thank you guys, I am past the stretch that was around week 6-7 I'm in week 8 now so I'll stick with the Tiger bloom and keep my fingers crossed. I'll checkout those nutes before I start my next plant I always hear good things about Advanced Nutrients.
 
I looked at the pics on my laptop instead of my phone and I can see them much better. Yeah, you're past stretch and they are very hungry. Give them as much feed as they will handle, but because of how.much they have fed off of the leaves it will be hard to see when too much is too much. The tips are already burned so watch for any young leaves getting crispy tips and if you see that back down on the feeding strength slightly.
If you go with Advanced Nutrients just stick with the basic nutrients and skip the additives. You don't need bud candy, rhino skin and all the other crap they market. Just the basic nutrients and some good soil like Roots Organic, Coast of Maine, Fox Farms any of those will grow good buds. Hope you have a great rest of your grow.

Advance has too many additives and cost vs value is way to high
You have been given better alternatives in this thread
Learn to just feed a steady one or two part nutrient and you’ll love the results
