In these same forum. I don’t ducking understand. I’m doing my first grow . I don’t go advising people as I don’t know tut much. Who the fuck are these idiots who respond with bullshit. I been told many times in these forums don’t give plain water to coco. Use 1000-1100 ppm in flower. That’s why I been doing. Stupid people should not be allowed to comment .
Keep in mind that there are some people whose knowledge comes from anonymous message boards only. Some peoples' knowledge comes from education in horticulture. Others have learned through direct experience growing cannabis over many years, and others are just totally Looney Tunes and have no idea what they're doing.
The best way to use these forums is to ingest ALL those experiences, then seek external validation from other, mainstream horticultural science.
For example, probably 60-80% of the membership here adds supplemental calcium and magnesium to their regimen, but when you go seek out plant science for why that should be, you won't find any good answers at all. The reality is that nutrient manufacturers have been pushing expensive branded products for a long time because as a black market drug crop, the budgets of clandestine gardeners are unusually high.
Go to a nursery and try to buy a bottle of "calmag." If you even said that word out loud they'd probably either snicker or simply stare at you confused.
I'm just using calmag as one example, in your case the problem is that you've somehow been misled into thinking that 1k PPM is acceptable for autoflowering cannabis. Whoever said that just simply doesn't have knowledge worth applying. It doesn't mean they're malicious, just confused.
That said, if you are frustrated now with the learning and development process as a novice gardener, you will likely only become more so in the future if you can't manage to do a bit more research and a bit more planning.
ALL of the successful first grows I've seen on this forum start with,"Here's my plan, what do you guys think?" That doesn't guarantee success, but it avoids catastrophic mistakes like the one you're now making...
