I am running he following….155 ppm tap water as base……everything stated is per gal……3ml 29% h2o2. .4 ml drip clean…….2.5ml armor si(silica)…….3ml flora nova bloom…..that’s it…..I was useing flora nova grow but as soon as I broke 500ppms I saw issues…..that stuff is 7-4-10 so theirs a lot of nitrogen In their….

I have run over 1000 PPM at times on my current grow. I'm using FloraFlex in coco, which has more N. Blasphemy to many, but I am always experimenting to push and see how far I can go with my autos. Other than a little bluing on some early leaves, they take it in stride. I'm likely wasting nutes. But I've run much more N than that. Fed daily, 5.9-6.3 PH, always watered to 20% runoff. 18/6 1000 PPFD. My biggest concern now is humidity, not the amount of N I fed in veg. We all have different ways at reaching our goals in this hobby. But looking at your plants, they look a little light tired, to me, as I said. So rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, and yank your hair out, start simple and try going to a shorter light schedule. Worst thing that happens is, I'm wrong, and you save a little $$$ on your electric bill. And you can troubleshoot further from there.

I really don't know? The largest auto yield I've ever had from one plant was my last run, 15 oz dried and trimmed from a GSC auto. I believe the one in the back there - Orange Sherbet - will beat that. We shall see. I'm in Southern California and we've been hit by colder temps and high humidity lately. I can deal with the humidity. But that tent is in my shop and dunno how much I can control night time temps. Hopefully the colder temps won't slow them down too much. They all had been in my indoors 4x2, obviously outgrew that. So maybe they got nice and strong to handle any drop in temperature. We shall see.
They all usually run around 90 -100+ days, the GSC was from New420guy. The Orange Sherbet is a FB and it looks like it'll be 100 + days.
I top and train every plant. Defoliate the lowers and centers, and lollipop. The best I can. At a point now where I need the Sherbet to finish so I can spread the other 2 out more. Because she is crammed in and best I can do now is tuck. Sherbet is in her end stages, or slowly getting there. I grow photos too. But I enjoy growing autos way more. Much more challenging and they can teach you a lot.

I mean that plant is in a 10 gallon pot for one. They probably test in like a 3 gallon which will speed it up. And pretty much all of the “breeders” timeframes are off in my experience. Maybe in their “ideal” condition they finish that fast. Plant in the photo at the bottom right is a Mephisto. They claim it’s around a 70 day strain. It’ll go 90. I’ve never grown for speed personally. I like growing autos for the challenge to get the most out of them.
