Question on PH Perfect base trio

[2budz]

First post here. I'm new to indoor growing and I've always used nutes. Recently I decided to try the PH perfect 3 part stuff. I'm having a tough time finding a feeding schedule for autos. Can anyone help me out?

I just harvested 10 oz's off 2 Jock Horror using GMB as the main nutrient. I included 1 tsp/gal Hawaiian Bud from I think Grow More from week 5 til finish ... all I did was use the Regular plant feed schedule and cut everything in half ... GMB is a very forgiving nutrient. Next time I will flush good about half way thru.

@2budz Welcome to AFN The AN schedule is about 15ml/gallon of each of the three products, 15ml Grow, 15ml Micro and 15ml bloom each time you fertigate. Auto flowering plants need about 50% to 65% of that strength. You may want to consider adding the other products in the line as well or beneficials from other sources.

Thanks for the replies. Coming from I was skeptical of giving all 3 all the way through. I actually called them and they confirmed that for me. They also taught me a few other things that I will keep in my arsenal.

I have used PH Perfect GMB for years. I generally use soil and flower tabs from Nirvana for my base with 1/4 tsp / gal each of GMB .... this keeps my PH in check for the entire grow. his was the first time I used GMB for a base. Towards the end of the grow the soil in the lower half of the pot had a very low PH indicating that I should have flushed the soil of salts at least once or twice during the grow.

I just try and keep the growing medium around ~700ppm/~1.3 e.c. start to finish, with general purpose nute, pretty much same for nutes from different companies. Close to 2-1-2 ratio ideal for cannabis but even that hasn’t been a big deal for me. If you water in 1.3 ec and 1.3 ec coming out the bottom and pH is good, you would be having nice plants.
