Also you don’t want the mixture too hard because the perilite can break your bulb on your ph pen, the things we learn the hard way…
Not a problem. I recommend doing a soil test at the start of flower. Just to see where you are at. This will allow you to dail in your feeds. If your soil is already hot 700 ppm or higher at that stage I would say, you could just give it some calmag and just bloom for one week. Or if it is low just give it a good feed after a only water drench. Keeps the salts from building up in soil. I always feed/water/feed in soil.
You have all you need with your new pen to read soil like a daggum scientist
that’s what I’m hoping my new pen arrives on Tuesday. I did some reading before I started the auto flower and it recommended after 30 days to go water water light feed, water water light feed. That’s what I’ve been doing. I was also going through this forum a few moments ago and saw that auto flowers use more Calmag than what is recommended on the bottles. I will definitely try to bump it up and try to pH my water the best I can with this current pen that I think is off a bit
Well here she is. I chopped her down last night at day 70. I made a few mistakes along the way, but learned a lot from this grow. I will be attempting another Auto, gonna have her outdoors in the bright Hawaiian sun. Try to see what I can learn from that while growing an orange sherbet photoperiod in this little tent. As always, I appreciate this community and the knowledge you’re sharing with us all. Hoping for a slower dry this time around she won’t yield all that much but the buds are twice as solid as my previous grow. https://youtube.com/shorts/krnbamovl70?is=m2-KszB_PTsF7LQg
