Lighting Four Dutch Passion StarRyder AutoFems not asking for nutes after 3 weeks ...

[nibblebit]

Hi People of the Autos

I am only on my third grow and have a question.

In my previous two grows i started using quarter strength nutes after two weeks as most people seem to agree that compost runs out of nutes after this time.

For the first time i am using Plant Magic Soil Supreme Plus, i also bought PM Old Timer's organic bloom nutes, and a litre of the same grow nutes.

This time round i thought that i would wait until the plants seem to be asking for bloom before i give it to them.

It is day 21 today and the plants are lovely and healthy :

Should i wait until they sho signs of needing bloom ?

If waiting is a bad idea, what week should i start giving bloom ?

Should i give them grow nutes at all ? I have ehard some people use grow and bloom together toward the end of flowering is this a good thing ?

Thanks for any advice you can give,

nibs.

They look great for 3 weeks old...well done they will turn out real nice I am sure.
My understanding of Autos is that veg nutes continue for the first two weeks of bloom, only then switch to your bloom nutes.
Before doing anything, wait for others to comment on your question.

So it turns out on day 23 lower leaves started yellowing. I gave them 1ml/L of PM OT grow and they are eating it up.

I don't normally use grow nutes so i think that contributed to my problems in my first two grows.

Here they are a few minutes ago :

Thanks autoberry

Yes it was lack of N, then i panicked and overferted and got some burn but now it's under control.

I am giving them 0.5ml/L grow and 1ml/L bloom now. Once a week i give them 0.33ml/L of biosilicon.

The PH of the water after nutes and oxygenation is anywhere from 7.7 to 8.3.

I don't use ph control as i am told that the soil is the buffer.


Thanks,

nibs.

I'm annoyed at myself for under then overnuting but it's the best way to learn when you feel the pain i guess ;+}


All the best,

The girls are all doing well, on 4ml/L of PM OT bloom, drinking around 1L each every other day :
