Hey JBone! Looking good! Relaaaaaax and ohhhhhmmmmm!:smoking:You are like an expectant father sitting in the waiting room! lol
Water....5 gallon bucket and get a air pump and airstone on it! More disolved oxygen in the water and your roots will thank you for it!
Feeding and watering...
1-put in your cal/mag first.
2-then your base nutes
check ph and adjust where needed, up or down. A little bit of this stuff up or down goes a long way! If you drop it too far or bring it up too high, DO NOT try and bring it back with the other up or down. simply start over. if you use both up and down together, your ph will fluctuate after they have been watered. 5.8 PH will be what you are after in coco. As the soil dries out, the soils ph will go up, taking the nutrients up through the best range for the plant to feed. Water only a little bit, as over watering will stunt your ladies and make them small. Get in the habbit of lifting the pots. Check the weight, not over watering daily(coco needs daily watering!)

I fill a 5 gallon bucket with 3 gallons of water and throw in a air stone on it, then use the bubbled water to feed your plants. I pour a gallon of water in a watering can and mix my nutes in that. I would go with 1/4 strength off the bottle and SLOWLY work your way up to 1/2-3/4 of the feed on the bottle as the plants get older. Autos dont like alot of nutrients early on. You can start feeding them now and they will take off as long as you dont over water them.

Hello and welcome to AFN @JBone713 When your mixing nutes for autos the basic start is 1/4 strength and as the plants progress you'll work up to 1/2-3/4 strength

yes tap water in the 5gal bucket for a few days to let any chlorine/chlorimide (sp?) evaporate away.bubbles 24/7 best,if not a few hours before use.
keep er lit.
