First grow with a 5x5. 1000w hps and 1000w AC unit
Im using root farm soiless hydro potting mix and watering once a day with 1/4 strength AN 3 part base. my question is for the boosters. i know using AN full strength everyday burns the hell out of my babies so im wondering if using the boosters everyday full strength will do the same. I have Voodoo juice for first 2 weeks, big bud for weeks 2-4 and over drive for 5-6 then flush. it says 2ml per L but im confused on if i should be using them once a week or everyday. If i use every day should i use 1/4 like i do with my base?
Much appreciation beforehand for the help...
Im just about to flip im on week 8 of veg.

When it comes to suggested weekly doses, just divide the recommended weekly amount by how many times you water per week. You’re watering everyday with a peat based medium while in veg?
 
I use AN and the boosters, they do make a difference I find, but been considering trying Canna next.
I use all of AN including the boosters at half the dose, so 1ml per L, except from seed or the first basically 3 weeks of Veg for that im at 1/4 the does or less. lower is always better to start and creep it up if you find it can take more.
I have a mix right now 2x GG#4, 1x Pineapple Chunk, and 1x AK47, I find the AK47 and Pineapple chunk want less and the GG want more so for now I just feed the less to all, this will change in flower im sure LOL

Yes its what they want, lights go out at 9 and they start to droop around 5, water at 8

What Myke said, make too many changes at once and you’ll never know what made the difference in the first place.
Thats a good idea, yea im doing some experiments as it is, i grew 3 of them out till 6 nodes then topped at 2nd, left one to do its thing besides LST, toped the other 2 once more and continued LST. one plant was tyed down on its side from a seedling, one is just regular LST. and i have 3 clones i just rooted and topped im gonna flip into flower with the rest of the mature plants and see how that works out
