You should feed almost every day to substantial runoff. You're creating hotspots, salt buildup by letting the medium dryout to much between waterings/feedings. You're also mainly in coir so you should feed at every watering.
Kind of new to growing. The YouTube people said to use mostly coco with soil. Ph between 6.2 to 6.5. I thought that I was burning them. They say that autos are more finicky than photos when it comes to nutes. They say that it’s easier to burn them. I’ve been trying to avoid that by giving them 1/4th measures. After I fed them the liquid nutes the first time, a couple started to give me problems. I backed off then. I’m just chugging along and trying to make it to the end at this point.
Substantial runoff? Even with autos? I’ve been trying to avoid overwatering, sooo I haven’t been watering to runoff. I’ve also been letting the medium get fairly dry before watering again. Should I keep feeding 1/4th measures or up it to 1/2 for the advance nutrients bloom? I’ve been using 2ml of bloom in a gallon and feeding each plant about 1/3 of the gallon, once, maybe twice a week. Is that not enough?
Forget all the old myths about Autos and start treating them like regular plants! You have to feed with every watering running coir, otherwise you will cause heavy pH fluctuations. I would start by raising them off the floor and start feeding to substantial runoff every other day. Good luck!
60% coco, 10% perlite, you're not going to be able to overwater, so water to ~20% runoff
When I read this, it made so much sense. I just knew something wasn’t right. Salt buildup from watering every other day just to soak the medium seems like a plausible issue. Thank you!Just feed Coco nutes 100% recommended dose every day, 15% runoff EVERYTIME cannot stress this enough. People get lockout or "deficiency" so much in Coco just from lack of runoff, salts build up and &uck the roots
Thank you!!
Ph fluctuations seems right. I’m getting weird ph problems even though I’m diligent about ph-ing between 6.2 to 6.5. And I calibrate my meter every other week. Thank you!
YouTube should ban Mister Canuck.
I’m certain that this is who said this too
He really should stick to steroids & video editing.
That makes sense.
Agreed. It doesn't make sense that he thinks his plants look good. I haven't seen one of his videos for a long time. Is he still doing coco and dry amendments?
