Got me an auto freeze berry from big heads. Loving the 150w hps solo at the moment. Top is roughly 18" from the light. Fan directly behind blowing the top with cool air so I know it's not burnt from the lamp. Any clues as to the yellowing would be greatly appreciated. She's roughly 5 weeks old and change. Fed twice light feedings both times. What am I not putting enough of people, first time home growing an all.

Your lacking micro nutes - several of them to be sure! N is getting low. Not to mention Mg def starting to set in - feed more!

What are you feeding? List everything your using please!

A good source of micro's is Kelp extract! Age Old or Maxicrop seaweed is wonderful stuff! Go 5ml per gallon on those.

So far she has had ff big bloom, grow big, and kangaroots. First feeding was 1/4 strength consisting only of big bloom and kangaroots, second was about 1/2 strength of all three @ about 2.5 gallons to her. Should I go to full strength bloom nute?

I know, I just want to give them the best chance for optimal yield, as they're autos. Any delaying in the growth I.e. Deficiencys n what have you, stunt the growth. I cant afford to stunt them cuz I want the best yield I can get. I'll try full strength bloom nutes tomorrow or the next day depending on the dryness tonight.

Would you say its bloom nute deficient? Should I first try 3/4 strength before I jump to full strength? Or since itd be her third feeding, jump right to full strength. I have only put 1-2 tspns per gallon, and I mix up all my plants feed at once, usually averaging around 8-9 gallons. That being said, should I try mixing up individual batches per plant? I just need to know where its deficient, and I'm not experienced enough yet on my own.

I don't use a bloom nutrient till week 3 after the lighting change! The plant still wants the higher N of veg feeds while she stretch's.

You should consider a kelp extract to help with the micro's, amino acids and Bvits...

I'm not changing the light cycle. They're staying on 18/6 for the rest of they're lives. So I'm going off the plants sex showing as start of flower. Is that a wrong assumption?

With autos I generally switch to bloom feed once there stretch has ended, last 2 weeks before water only, I've never had an auto that I was super impressed with size wise though.... I believe there is a thread here just for auto growers, I'm guessing it probably has a sticky about nutrients schedules also, if it doesn't it should, I've seen this question a few times, probably even asked it myself
