I usualy use 4 times needed water(flood feeding)so that every watering is a flushing . And use strait water for last feeding and have never had a problem. i.e. yucky tast, crackeling buds,light a joint and wont stay burning. Always ends up good for me. but you should stick to the rules till ya get a few under yer belt. most would never tell you to use ferts till the.but i do but i have never used a full dose of any ferts.and never get over fert.Cha ching says on it you can use it till final week.but ff only makes the stuff ,what would they know..lol..Cha ching and other dry ferts in there lines are all salts so useing flood feeding is kinda manditory.IMO.and a few drops dawn dish detergent help slid things along...lol....peace

And factualy speaking . If you use the molasses for last 6 weeks till harvest you can have 20% heavyer buds. the testing has been done. And from my own grows the buds are stinkyer and tastyer. Buds love to use the suger!!!!!

Beautiful grow! To get the most out of autoflowering strains you do not switch to flowering nutes until after the stretch period. If you want to finish faster, or have height restrictions then switch whenever you want, but the point with auto's is to get them as big as you can in their short veg period. One of the most common mistakes new auto growers make is switching to flowering nutes too soon, generally as soon as the plant shows sex or begins to bud.
Just wanted to clear that up because I've seen quite a bit of different advise being put out there, but the truth is you start flower nutes after the preflower stretch has slowed, or preferably stopped to get the genetic potential out of the plant.
Killer Fecking Plant!
