Your probably ready to start using nutes very soon , have you been testing runoff when you water? If the ppm drops below 1000 then its time to start feeding i believe that’s how it works maybe @Graysin can clarify. Plants are looking great gromie :metal::100:

Thanks man. I’m trying so hard to keep myself from messing up my first run with “over” care. I fed her first nutes 8 days ago. Plant was looking a little pale. I didn’t have a good ppm pen at the time but after a day she started looking much better. Since then I have purchased a Apera ph/ec pen. Watered this morning and checked ppm on runoff which is sitting right at 1080. By my figuring :nerd_face: I’ll be adding nutes to the next watering if I go by the 1000ppm rule. I’m using the fox farm trio which everyone says is really hot so I’ll be going halfs I think. The first dose I gave her was full blast and may have been a bit much but she reacted tough af to it.

Yup, you might even want to drop to 1/4 dose , with auto’s less is more. These girls are on a timeline and very hard to recover once problems arise. Keep em growing brother :metal::100:

Follow their nutrient schedule on the website to a T.

Here’s the chart as it exists now:

The thing to really take note of is the feed schedule is different amounts than the bottles say - the schedule is right, the bottles are wrong. Also be prepared to do a flush when the schedule says to flush - otherwise stuff will drift and cause complications later in the grow right when it can hurt your yield.

Thanks for the tag @Zudnik :v: always happy to lend a pair of eyes.

Just checking brother but this shows 700 scale is that correct i thought we in the U.S use 500 scale?

Ye, fox farm uses 700 scale but the Apera pen does both 5 & 7 so I just switch it to the 700. Also you say the schedule is right, do you mean do those amounts listed there? Not half?

The amounts listed there should get you those target PPMs, yes.
