I’m starting my second grow and would like to know from any growers a good schedule to follow. Should I follow Gh’s light feed schedule or is there a better one? I will be using micro,gro,bloom,floralicious, armor si, and liquid koolbloom. Thanks
I honestly miss some of the flavor GH nutes pull. Never grown an auto, but will be following along. Seems everyone is giving autos a go, but not sure whom would be pushing the GH nutes. @ChittyChittyBangin might be one to point ya in the right direction.
Lemme get my spotlight out for the hydro gurus…
Growing in hydro or soil ?
Same question.
@nodurxshn used GH nutes. I never have, personally.
But a light dose, whether you use em in soil or water, is a good start.
I use gh micro grow bloom, silica blast, cal mag , floralicious, liquid kool bloom, Flora nectar… but I also use h202 bc I’m in Hydro… if growing in soil you need to adjust ph to 6.0 or hydro to 5.8 and if growing in soil test ppm runoff to know how to feed whether it be light medium or aggressive here’s my current ladies.
i am actually a huge fan and supporter of GH flora duo +line
Looks like @ThatHydroCouple has you covered. I haven’t used GH nor done hydro….yet.
I’ve tried 2 autos on GH flora series (RO, calmag, other nuances, etc). One took closer to the bottle suggested strength, the other would burn on anything over half that strength and was half the size, but got the same HP from both.
I think autos are very strain-dependent. Getting ready to try a third strain, and I’ll be starting very weak and letting the plant tell me when it’s hungry for more. My research says that autos are typically light feeders compared to photos, and it’s looking to be true.
In hydro I’ve been following along with the following pictures. One is for beginners basic and other is labeled expert which adds more additional additives.
I’ll be growing in Promix hp
That’s what I’m seeing too. I’ll start light. I got in touch with the guys from fastbuds, they recommend starting with 1/2 dosage of GH’s light feed schedule.
Which strain are you growing?
Make sure to test run off so you know where the soil is to. … premix hp I heard good things about… my current strain in flower is ace killer og… but just had the seeds break ground today blackberry hashplant, blue cookies, godfather purple kush,
Just plain Afghan Auto was a huge bush with fluffy buds that took full dosage of nutes.
Then I did a Grandaddy Purple Auto and it was more what I’d expect from an auto in size, but denser buds and it was really sensitive to the nutes. Both grown at dif times, but in the same system… all with GH Flora. I got a deal on some GH a while back, and have a LOT of it.
I’m sure there was some user error involved as well. I’m no pro, by any means!
On deck is a Super Skunk Auto. Waiting for after the summer heat to start that one though.
And yes, I always start with a watered down dosage, maybe 1/4 strength, then work up. Seems some can take the increase better than others though.
On a side note, I kinda just got back into the “hobby” a few years ago, but I remember back in the day (about 25 years ago) when knowledge was scarce and hardware was scarcer, the general rule of thumb for adult photos (never heard of autos back then) was a 5-5-20 mix. Those were dif times. Hard to believe GH is still around, albeit under dif ownership. The people in my group at the time thought I was a real cutting edge geek when I brought a conductivity meter home from work to test my nute solution. Ahh the memories.
