Help me out!

Thanks thats does help. I think I've been over complicating the feedings by A) adding whole proportions B) following 's nute schedule and C) Rotating the solution everyday. Now I'm only adding the budding compounds when bud formation starts, at quarter strength fo sho. Autoflower.net FTW!!!!....You guys are awesome!

This guy's thread was pretty fantastic too. Real simple.

I was reading about those LED's and they seem pretty bad ass. I'd like to eventually have four small autos in a mini DWC in my 2'x2' and prosource is letting me upgrade my 90w for a 180 for only the price difference. Those guys seem awesome, they just took care of it. Good customer service.

I'd recommend starting at 1/4 strength and working up. Nute requirements vary from strain to strain so it's hard to have any hard, set rules. If they are happy with 1/4 after a couple feeds, then try 1/2 and see how they like it.

One more question. Do you recommend a solution for after weeks 5 or 6 for tiger bloom and big bloom. Keep it at a quarter strength?

I'm going to go with that advice. They definitely seem NOT to like what I had going on. Leaves are still pretty wilty, but I'm sure some of the salts have to dilute themselves out of my substrate. Going to take a PH reading of the runoff now.

*edit, PH of runoff came back at 6.8, added a little H2o and some PHdown, now reads 6.3. I'm going to keep this thread updated with progress until hopefully I can work this out. I'll start a grow log once the sailing is a little smoother.

So i break it down like this:
GB is 3Tbsp/1Gal for heavy feedings. So in my mind this is more than enough for our fave friends. So it states that 2tbsp/1gal is for normal feedings so i use this as my base number. After that i break it down into 1/4

at 7 days i start like this
Day 7 1/4 dose to a gal
Day 14 1/2 dose to a gal + 8oz of N rated tea
Day 21 1tsp GB and then 1/4 of TB (bringing in the TB)
Day 28 1/2 TB + 8oz of Phosphorus rated tea
Day 35 1.5 tsp TB to a gal
Day 41 2tsp of TB and 8oz of Phosphorus rated tea
Then Flush till finish unless it needs something at th .

This statement is very confusing, not sure if it is a typo or if I am missing something or if I am just clueless. (either of the latter 2 are very plausible)

TBSP or tbsp are both Tablespoons or 15 cc/ml

which is 3 times the amount of

TSP or tsp or 5 cc/ml

My feeding schedule refers to all measurements in TSP/Gallon

Using TBSP in place of TSP will likely burn the hell out of plants.

I really prefer using metric in these circumstances, but the the US failed to follow through back int he 60's & 70's when everyone else was bailing on the old english system of measurement standards. So here we are still using confusing and often easily mistaken conversion tables for measurements.
When I was making furniture professionally and breeding fish, I didn't allow any of the people working for me to use english tape measures or volume containers, they had to use metric. Saved me untold losses due to bad conversions.

Good Catch Gtron. I did notice the typo too, but I knew what the OP was getting at. Although I did go back and look at 's instructions just to be sure. You're preaching to the choir dude, I'm always using metric in these circumstances. I have the shroomery to thank for that! As it turns out, I was still using wayyy too much food.
