23 days today. She will need to be watered tonight, the bottom of the pot is still a bit heavy. Started with a half dose of Tap to start heffeed of Jack’s Tap veg & Bloom per the feed schedule (week 5) but am wondering if she should get one more 50/50 mix or should she get just bloom at this point.
I’m trying to get precise with nutes now and need to focus in on transition times.
Here’s a few pics along with the feed schedule. With an auto I’m not sure where I am as far as weeks goes. I’m figuring between weeks 5 and 6 as far as the chart goes.

also when I add the bloom and Epsom do I still add my cal mag? I’ve always added 5ml per gallon to my mixes but I’m brand new to thisversion of Jack’s.

I've never used jacks but I will say in my experience autos tend to need a good amount of nitrogen while in the transition to flower so until u see pom poms forming that's when I go 50/50 veg/bloom nutes and start going heavier on bloom nutes and lessening veg nutes as you go

Use transition week 5 one more time then move to week 6. Why are you using Cal-Mag? It is not on their schedule. Do not let your pots sit in run-off and don't water if the pot is still heavy only after losing 50% of the water weight.

What you need to learn about watering will come with practice. Here are the basic rules: Never let the soil dry out. Soil and or coco can become hydrophobic if allowed to dry. This means it repels water. This in turn will create dry pockets in the soil and roots there will die. If your soil - coco have accidentally dried out use a surfactant to help re-wet it. I like yucca powder. Don't let soil remain soggy by watering too much too often. Root rot, damping off, molds, fungus gnats and other problems start in soggy soil. When you do water water the entire pot. How to learn when to water starts before you plant the seed. Fill your container with fresh soil/coco and weigh it (heft it) this is the lightest weight and consider it a dry pot. Now slowly water until the soil/coco will no longer absorb the water and run-off begins; weigh the pot (heft it) this is the maximum water, the wettest the pot can get. The difference between wettest and driest is the maximum water weight, for ease of explanation lets just say the water weighs 20 pounds. When the pot loses 10 pounds (half of the water weight) it is time to water again. There is an art to watering.
 
Thanks, I’ll use the transition one more water for her.
I normally do weigh my pots and monitor weight loss to know when I should be watering. I think my last run I kept pushing it and stressed the plants a few times.
Thanks for the info. Will put it to use and stop the cal mag
