Looking for opinions on my three autoflowers

[kushitslit]

Hello everyone, greetings from California. I'm looking for input on my autoflowers and advice on what I need to do next.. as it's my first time growing an autoflower.
So far, one of my plants was born on December 7th, and the other two were born on December 14th, and today is January 29th, 8:12pm as I'm typing this and so far, I've fed nutrients since 1-10-20 but I had some nutrient burn I believe the other day and I've just been feeding straight PH'd water - 5.5-6.0 - My light schedule is 20/4 - Off at 1 am and on at 5am, and I have my humidity stable, my heat stable, and so far my issues are I'm not sure what leaves to prune, or to cut i'd say and if my plant requires cal mag - or cns17 - or root guard - I have all my nutrients branded by botanicare nutrients - pure blend pro - veg - and flower - as well. I've been feeding it the pure blend pro veg, and I was feeding the plants every day or other day. Anyways, I'd appreciate your guys' input, and hope to post my progress/harvest here when plants are vegging/flowering and cured. Thank you.

I'd back off the nitrogen a little. Perhaps water only a couple days then every other day. They are very dark green.

@kushitslit Welcome to AFNYou are beginning to get a lock-out from too much fertilizer. You definitely do not need Cal-Mag. I have a new tutorial I am working on and even though it is not completed it will have some useful information for you.

If you do not have a good PH pen and an EC meter you need them. Do not buy cheap ones the risk simply is not worth it.

You say you have temps and RH in control but what is that?

uh-oh, don't let man=o-green catch you talking about calmag lol

Haha, I'm not really to sure what calmag does, but I know plants require it.

Understood man, I've been feeding water for the last 3 days, no nutes.

Awesome man, Thank you for the warm welcome, I checked your guide out and it does have some great information, I bookmarked it!
and so far, my temps I have under control 24/7 - 70F-85F thru out the day, preferably 70-75 at night, and thru the day 80-85. Humidity averages from 30-50 max thru out the day.

Plants most definately do not need cal/mag!
Plants need calcium and magnesium. They need it in the right proportion. The guy that came up with cal mag was a genius obviously. Or the marketing team was. Unbelievable. No offense. Magnesium is a calcium antagonist if it is out of balance. If you grow in soil you will likely never need to add calcium. If you are calcium deficient in soil look somewhere else b4 adding calcium. It is probably a lockout not a lack of calcium. Coco requires processing to hold calcium initially...
IMO epsom is a better source for Magnesium.

I feel like it's better to get calcium and magnesium from green leaves crumbled top dressed or from a natural decomposing source leaves are good cause if they didn't have the proper calmag ratio they wouldn't be growing. So you get calmag plus nitrogen and whatever else is in them. I crumble the dead fan leaves from flowering plants to veg pots. Plus it's hard to overdo because it's naturally what you'd have on the forest floor.

Just like people as I understand it we run out of magnesium more than calcium. It's like whole foods not store but non processed food generally being healthier than processed stuff. I think the same is true for plants we should try to use fertilizer that are whole. instead of isolating one compound. The plant can decide what it needs to uptake just feed the soil plus calmag has salts I think so it messes with organics. I think I read that in tlo he was talking about only one of them being one version that didn't have salts

Not looking too bad, but maybe need to be watered more often, cloth pots dry out fast.
