New Grower Hello! Need your advice/opinion..

[Skyscreaper]

So.. it’s week 4 of flowering for the Moby Dick auto and week 5 for the bloody beast auto which I will be showing in the images. Im running 600W HPS lumii black dual spec, biobuzz all mix soil and advanced hydroponics of Holland for feeding, as well as cal mag. 6.5PH and 20-25C during the day, 18-20C during night, the humidity is 50-70%. My question is when should I stop feeding with nutes and continue with PH’d water to 6,5, and are they looking as they should for this period of time. I know that I could’ve done a better job with the low-stress training and the training/other things in general but I’m new so please don’t be harsh.. ) Thank you for your time and advice! It will be much appreciated!

I would 100% defoliate the leaves below the buds.

Looking good.

First of all... to AFN.
The coolest place on the whole wide interweb for canna related info or just for a friendly chat.
Loads of information to be found here, but please do use the advance search. If you can't find it ask and there will always be a friendly person to help a hand.

You never stop giving nutes. The so called 'flush' at the end is bro-science and does absolutely no good to your plants. It's in the last week(s) that they bulk up the most... That's when nutrients are also still necessary.

You plants look ok, but still have a way to go. But your getting there


Regards,

Bob

Thank you for the advice! I was thinking of doing that, but everywhere I go I see that defoliating after week 3/4 is not recommended for auto's because it could stress the plant thas impact the end result.. I guess I had to do it earlier but yeah....

If you have the room for both plants to grow as they want I would let them.
Seems to me you haven't topped or anything. That's why the Christmastree shape.

Thank you for the information I will remember that!
You seem knowledgeable so I would like to ask another question I forgot to add to the post.. Could you please let me know when should I switch from Bloom to Micro nutes.. like which week of flowering should I do that because I was not able to find any solid info about that either pft.. 1

Yes, I haven't topped them because I decided to top the 2 other plants I have that are not auto's.. to avoid screwing up the autos since I'm new and they have a short period of life/flowering and if I don't do it right it can have unnecessary stress over the plants.. Yeah.. another thing I read because i have nobody to ask for advice, you can say that I'm on my own

Don't you have a chart for your nutrient line? Seems to me micro nutrients have to be given the whole time, unless it's a brand name thing...?
I know very little of commercial nutrients as I make my own and am now currently doing the organic trainroute.

Yes, there is a chart but I don't quite understand if I should do it or just stop feeding.. but never mind you already answered my question, thank you so much!
