Go easy with the amendments at first. You don’t want to burn your new seedlings.

Yeah I'm really trying to time it right, I know you said you do 1/3 cup right when flowering starts but I'm in soil and that usually lasts about 4 weeks so I'm guessing it'll be a tad different for me.
Not really sure how long it'll take for the dry amendments will take to work. I was thinking it'd take weeks but after a quick search it appears I might be wrong on that and it's rather just days. I think it'd probably be a good idea if I hold off on the top dress till around 4 weeks and ease them into it like you suggest. Probably saved me a some headache so cheers to that

Can’t wait to see the progress brotha. I used bottled nutes for my first run, so always looking for ways to improvise down the road!

You should be fine if you’re planning on amending when your plants are more developed and your soil is depleted.

Thanks man, if all goes well it'll just be a pH'd water only grow with top dressing which cuts my work more than in half so fingers crossed. Happy to be the guinea pig for anyone else to learn and build off of lol

Hello Everyone! I've spent the better part of the last year learning from all the knowledgeable people here and growing autos. I've made a lot of mistakes but I feel I've learned a lot and I am finally starting to get into my rhythm. I'm currently starting my 3rd(ish) run and wanted to do my first journal here to give back some and join the club! Here is my current setup for the upcoming run:

1 x Mephisto Alien vs Triangle
1 x Mephisto Creme De La Chem
1 x FastBuds Strawberry Gorilla
1 x Dark Owl Marathon OG
1 x Night Owl Cosmic Apprentice
1 x Twenty20 Ogreberry (3A "Super Terp")

I did want to give a special thanks to @Twenty20 Adam and 20Twenty Mendocino for letting me in on the Ogreberry test! Really interested to see how it turns out.

Grow Space:
AC Infinity 5x5 tent
Gorilla tent 5x5 high CFM kit
AC Infinity 6" Exhaust fan w/ carbon filter
AC Infinity Controller 67
HLG Diablo 650r
HLG UVA30 for later flowering
AC Infinity 8" inline fan (used to cool light)
12" Hurricane oscillating wall fan
7" Mini Blizzard oscillating fan

Lung Room Control:
Window A/C and 5gal dehumidifier (summer setup)
5 gallon evap humidifier and inkbird controlled heater (winter setup)

Nutrients/Medium:
3 gallon Rain Science bags
OF Soil +25% Vigoro Organic Perlite
Trio Bottle Nutes
Mojave Gold Organic Yucca
Hydroguard
Bud Candy
Organic Blackstrap Molasses
Calimagic
Kangaroots Root Drench
Sledgehammer Flush(if problems arise)

Watering Setup:
RO Water +50ppms of Calimagic
Bluelab PH & EC Pen
PH calibration/diode storage solutions
I have a 20 gallon bubbled reservoir setup with a pump on a smart plug that runs to 6" hydro halos for watering. Everything empties into a custom automatic drain to waste system outside of the tent. I have another duplicate res for nutrients but I'm not sure I'll set it up this run, that may change.

Excited to get started! Hope you all enjoy, feel free to ask me whatever I'm happy to share my process. I'll be doing weekly updates here maybe more if anything is happening.

Planted on 05/18 straight into soil in the mini seedling tray/dome, heat mat set to 80 and placed in a shady part of the tent. I have two others finishing up but I'll just focus on these 6. I will update when I start to see some life!

Hey man! Looks good finally rocking. If your plants are shorter or are later in flower you should be able to turn it up more. I'd start off on the lower end and slowly raise it till your plants start showing light burn signs and then back it off.

I just checked mine and my monster in the corner is at about 1300 and the one next to it I'm about to chop is at about 1000 ppfd. Sounds like you're right about in a good spot, I'd just watch it and turn it down if you see tacoing/burning or your buds start to foxtail a little.
