IF your plants are ready for NUTRIENTS, (over a month old) Then grab yourself some nutrients and observe the directions to make full strength. Then cut that formuls to a half or even quarter strength, and start your plant on that. Give nutrients Every other watering. ONLY water when soil drys out. Feed your auto flowering plant blooming nutes, 3-4 weeks after you see it's first white hairs.

Carbon Filter. Your exhaust air passes through it to remove smells. Attach it to your exhaust system.

Always estimate on the low side

Feed it only once or twice a week

Dont feed your plant until it is atleast 3 weeks

So feed it 3-4 weeks after i see the white hairs?

My first grow and have a couple questions. To start I am using 400W MH to Veg. and HPS to flower with Coco Peat as my growing media. Mylar lined 5x5 only three plants first time around. I have unlimited access to RO water at work so I am going to take advantage (daa!). I am starting with feminized White Dwarf and Afghan Kush seeds. I have a PPM/TDC, and a PH meter. Does anybody have recommendations for feeding of nutrients. Start at 3 weeks with 800/ppm w/increase up to 1300/ppm. Finishing up with some sort of Bloom nutrients. Flush last 2 weeks before harvest. What brands of nutes has anybody had good luck with and in what combination?
Thanks for all help!
Party on

I would go with Canna, its very popular and works great...

I have also used Alaskan fish nutes, they smell bad but work like a charm.

I would go with a 10-X-X for veg, and a 0-10-10 for bloom

Yep if you're not veging any more and it's roughly 3 weeks after the first white hair, feed it blooming nutes. Something with an NPK ratio where Phosphorus is much higher than nitrogen and potassium.

I use a 8-24-8 nutrient for my blooming
i USE A 20-30-20 FOR MY VEGGING PHASE.

N-P-K (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium.


And like it was mentioned earlier....start your nutrients off light. You can use a little more as the plants grows along.

At the end of flowering you typically flush your plants with water for a few weeks.
