Looking for Feedback/Affirmation

The following is my first grow, Royal Cookies Auto, Day 34, 18/6 light schedule. Happy Frog/Perlite in Cloth Pot in a DIY Spacebucket
Based upon earlier feedback I'm only watering when I can easily sink my finger to the second knuckle into the dirt, and have not used any nutrients for a week to curtail a nitrogen overload, as diagnosed by this community. I was able to coax two additional bud sites out via LST and now have six.

I had been following the Fox Farms (Big Bloom, Grow Big, and Tiger Bloom) feeding schedule at 1/4 dosage, but since the Nitrogen issue have doubts about that schedule. I would really appreciate some feedback/recommendations on dosages as the later stages in that schedule have pretty high N levels. Also, I'm a bit unsure of the actual 'week' I should be feeding for as the listed flowering for this auto was fairly vague (5-7 weeks) and I'm starting flowering at 4 weeks (I think I'm starting).

I did lots of reading/research, but there's a big difference between books and the real world, so your patience and real world experience is greatly appreciated!

Don't over-correct and underfeed!

How long since the last up-potting? If the HF dirt is over a couple weeks old, you're probably safe in adding nutes again. Do you have a TDS meter to check your runoff when watering? I have a grow three weeks into flower, right now, and just fed their first full dose of the Fox Farm trio, after going from seed through veg with almost no feeding (Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil).

Maestus you may want to check out the autoflower forum. And if you haven't already, use the search tool with your strain inserted. Hard to apply a nutrient rule for any particular auto. You'll need to introduce nutes gradually and see how it reacts. Don't worry if you get a slight nute burn on the tips. That's a decent way to read the plant and won't harm it.
