Also we need more info to properly help you. Be better off filling out a support ticket and going into detail about what you’d like to know

For starters i find these 2 pictures very useful and have them taped to all my tents

ocean forest has 6-8 weeks worth of nutrients in the soil. so you should be good for a few more weeks

I am using bottled water using drops and a pH meter along with a TDS meter my pH balance is around 6.0 These are feminized auto’s they are from a seed bank in California,It’s a 4 x 4 tent Complete with exhaust fans and carbon filter I am using 5 gallon fabric pots currently I’m only giving them about a bottle and a half of water, I have not soaked the pots yet and there is no runoff to test

What’s the best way to tell when they need nutrients are there specific signs any given plant gives off

i typically don’t wait for the leaves to tell me they need something. at about the month mark, i would feed with a 1/4 dose and ramp up from there. but personally i’m pushing nutrients from day 1 in soil.

Refer to the pictures above but usually you’ll see signs of cal mag, manganese, (cal mag and manganese usually brown spots) or nitrogen deficiency (leaves yellowing becoming lighter geeen) at the start in my experience

I run Mainly autos and in coco. The coco I use is amended and PH water at 5.8-6.0 for about 4-5 weeks. Once I see the largest fan leaves have hit the outside of my pot (3 gallon) I know she has developed a good root structure. Your run off numbers will tell you if she is hungry. The FFOF is a soil medium with a higher PH need 6.5-6.9. At they’re age I would start testing your soil PH and PPMs from the run off around week 3, but would like to see some pics of they’re size. I’ve had autos of different strains running at the same time with different nutrient requirements :love_you_gesture:
