New Grower First Auto Grow

[stepside]

Everywhere I've been looking all of you are saying use half the recommended feed strength. I'm using general organics.. Grow .. Bloom.. Calmag.. Bud.. Should I be using the light feeding schedule which is what I'm doing or should I cut that in half??

from the pics I'd up the feed. the 1/2 rule is precautionary. some autos don't need much, but others are hogs.lol I bump the feed a little at a time till I burn the tips then back off a little. the ph in and out I don't know about. seemed the $ for an accurate 8 soil probe beat learning another formula lol. but if you're ph locked out the extra feed wont help. just my 2 cents

Hey Elsamurai,
Thanks for the $.02. I got a pH meter and a rapid test soil meter. I apparently aren't smart enough to run them. I've been purposely backing off on the nutes thinking I'd burn them. Maybe its not lock up it just deficiency. Anyways thanks again

Heya stepside, Looking to me, like a N deficiency. Like Elsamurai suggested, I'd up your feed a bit and give them more grow. They look like they can take it, but go up slowly. great looking ladies and if you can, get a measure of PH in and some runoff, or read up on the directions on the soil meters. You will want to rule out ph being a factor sooner than later. :check:

Sorry about that.. Didn't realize I was using brand names oops. But anyways I'm putting in 7.9 and getting 6.2 out.

Hello again,
Day 45
4 of the 5 seem to be struggling along.. Yellowing from the bottom up a few members have given me advice and thank you to them.
I've lowered the tall plants and next watering they will get more nutes.
Now the fifth plant(the runt) seems to be doing her thing. She's nice and green growing like hell. It was a tiny little thing a week ago. Im hoping it doesn't exhibit the same problems as the others.
I threw in a pic of the whole grow and one of the runt. Have a good night everybody.

Ok quick update.
Sorry I've been slack on the updates.
The girls seem to be doing a lot better, starting tho throw a lot of hairs.

They were definitely to close to the light

I added some pics to my album current grow. The four on the floor are doing way better now they're away from the light. There's one up high in the front that's is now showing hairs(the runt). The other three are photos, MOB can't wait till it warms up and they can go outside. They should produce well.

Another noon question.. What is the average height of northern lights autoflower?

Hello all,
so my math sucks too many hits I guess. I'm on day 49 now I said 45 days a week and a half ago my bad. The girls are looking better. I've been giving them some veg nutes along with the bloom and the yellowing is def going away. Thanks guys!
So I'm not sure what ill get for a harvest but I don't think it'll be too bad for a first timer. I have figured out that you only get one shot to do it right and get the most out of what you got. These friggin things go fast it's nothing like. Putting plants out in the spring and wacking them in the fall. It's 2.5 to 3 mths done no screwing around.
So here's some pics of the tent. I'll post some individual pics later on but for now here you go
