OP have you thought of switching to soil maybe? It will get you through veg with no nutrients needed.

I was just saying he could get his autos through veg and only be feeding them once they’re larger.

Not really. Soil doesn't have the growth rate that hydro does and I still see a lot of people completely fucking there grows in soil.

I am going to try adding worm casting to my coco on my next run which is meant to be a pretty good addition to buffer deficiencies. Might even top dress these ones too.

Ummmmm maybe read this again. It kinda describes your exact situation.

You’ve already seen my auto in a 5 gallon that was water only. But sure the growth rate is terrible. Dude you’re never going to learn anything until you stop thinking you have it figured out. There’s a joke we use on here when noobs post their veg plant looking perfect and bragging. We say “any dummy can veg a plant.” You proved that wrong. That’s for making that joke not funny anymore.

I've gotten most of my grows through vege without any hassle at all. This is the first time I went from rockwool plugs into rockwool blocks and then into the Coco, planted them at about 2.5 weeks old.

Every other time I've planted the plugs straight into the 25 litre pots at about a week old. So just a matter of trial and error to get this method correct.

Your plant looked bad that @bk78 is always posting. These look bad already and they’re autos so they’re going to have a tough time recovering. How about start simple until you make it through a harvest?

my current flower tent is fine.

I'm happy with how I'm going. Thanks for the advice.

This is also the reason why I don't defol. If I get a mobile nute deficiency the plant has plenty of storage to pull from
This is actually pretty wise. If you heavily defoliate it's difficult to see what's going wrong until it's too late. Plus you don't have much of a firewall between burn and your buds.

not at home now. they are showing early K deficiency but still looking good. I'm hoping they don't get worse and adding K.

Of course they are deficient, like everything you’ve grown to date.

keep up the good work kiddo

There shouldn’t be a need to add more potassium to your base nutes, especially during veg. Shouldn’t really even need the cal-mag. Maybe buy better nutes?
If you do put anything in, just add a very little to tap water until it starts to register on the ec probe, probably 1/4 or less of recommended dose because your high EC feeds are doing nothing to help it grow

Sorry mate I have started 2 subjects about 2 different tents in the same thread. I have a vege tent which is what this post was initially about and I also have another tent in full flower. I was shocked at how you can get through flower at 1.4 EC and lower, my flower tent is at 1.6 and need to increase K because I'm noticing deficiency.

I'm fairly new at this diagnosis thing but I'm pretty certain it's short on k
