Feed as necessary to maintain a runoff PPM of ~1,000.

This is the chart I use in cocoa using the GH trio. If you’re in soil you shouldn’t need the calmag until mid flower. I feed autoflowers the same as regular plants just switch from veg to transition first sign of flower. This chart is per gallon of water

Forgot to add that for longer flowering strains I run week 5 twice before going to week 6.

Sorry, I just saw your messages. I started using GH Flora a few years ago and found a feeding chart online that someone recommended then tweaked it a little for my setup. My plants seem to like it. They stay mostly green until I flush them. You may need to tweak it a little for your setup but this should get you going in the right direction. If you have any questions feel free to ask anytime

How far should my grow light be from my highest plant?

Depends on what grow light you’re using and what growth stage your plants are in, but in general maybe 12 to 18 inches.

You’ll need to check the manufacturer specs for recommended vegetation and flower heights

I’m using Viparspectra 250 watt led light. I’m in Vegetation rn week 4, In the user manual it says 18 inches up. Would I measure 18 on up from the tip of my tallest plant?

Then give them ~18 inches from the light to the top of the canopy.

Do I measure 18 from the tip of my tallest plant?

I see the second part to your comment now. Thanks

I am going to add my O2 since I used the GH for a while. Autos do not want or need fed heavy, with that. I would be shooting for an average of 650 - 750 ppms. max at any point. I run 1/4 strength through veg and then 1/2 from pre flower on. Cal mag I 1/2 tsp per gal. for first 3 weeks. Then dropped to 1/4 after that. This is a chart I used.


I have feed notes for each day to look back at what worked best for me. By my third grow. I figured the right ratios for me. I am in coco. So if you are in soil. This would probably not be the chart for you since I think it comes pre charged with food?

@Myfriendis410 has done autos in soil with good results. And has used the GH nutes as well. I think using ocean forest. I forget. I am not a soil guy.

I just got a ppm meter but haven’t had a chance to check it yet since the soil is still moist
