Autoflower Girl Scout cookie. I have the fertilizer bought on here. Not sure where to pick up on this chart. She sprouted Christmas Day. So in week 5. I think today or tomorrow starts week 6. Attached pic of this morning

Looks like a good one. Calibrate it with the solution following the instructions when you receive it. You’ll need distilled water.
Id keep repeating week 4 until you flip her. That’s how i do with my product line of nutrients. I havent used bergmans line yet. Id start first dose at half, see how she reacts and gradually increase from there. Other users of this line may have a better insight on its use. Try keyword searching up above and review some others post about its use to be certain. Shes looking good btw.
Gotcha!
Does she look good to you? More lst?

Yes she looks great. Just keep spreading her out. Tying those branches further apart. Its a progressive lst but with more light and airflow you allow to get further on each branch the better end results youll have. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re doing great!

I’m going to try to do what you advise tonight with the water for tomorrow. Funny to you I’m sure second nature. To me what you wrote sounds like a second language.

As per chart. Ppm 750. Oh 5.8-6.5
Ok so I get distilled water. One gallon. I add 2/3 tsp number 4 bites as per your advice. Should that then be 750 ppm? Or do I do half dilute as you advice. 1/3 tsp. Does that mean the on should be 375?
I then test the ph and add whatever packet to correct the ph.
@Borderryan22
I viewed in an old post that you have used Bergmans nutrient line up. Your advice would be very valuable here please.
Lst is looking good btw. Trying to get you the correct advice for your nutrients, hang tight please.
What is this packet you speak of? Are you referring to the packet that came with your meter?
Yes. What came with the meter. I’m new to ph.

Reading it looks like I get the water. Add the nutes. Check the ppm. Then check the ph. Then add whatever came with the oh meter accordingly.
The powder is what came with the solution. It should tell you how much distilled water to put in a cup. Add that 7.0 packet to the water, calibrate your meter. Then proceed with a different cup, same amount of water, add the 4.0 packet and calibrate it again.
To adjust your pH: after you mix your nutrients into your gallon of water, test it before giving it to your plants. Should it need adjusted up or down, it will require the use of pH up or down solutions.
If you havent bought these yet your pH can be adjusted using a few different home products like lemon juice or baking soda but i wouldnt use them all the time just temporarily until your others get here. You’ll have to research to see which one makes it go up and which one makes it go down. Any questions holler…
Nope, sorry never used it. I used Fox Farms Trio one grow and have been on Jack’s A&B for almost 3 years.

So I started at half of 1/3 tsp. Then a little more. I got up to the 2/3 tsp but was only around 400 ppm. I let dissolve and mixed well. I added more. I added just shy of double the recommended and ppm was 650. I couldn’t give any more. It felt wrong. Ph was 6.3. Run off is 192 @PhatPat
I hope I didn’t burn her. I’ll see when I get home.

I think you did well. Great going on getting your numbers. It gets way easier after you’ve done it a few times. You got this, no problem! She’s looking great. I think you’re gonna be real happy in the end.

Is it normal that the chart say 2/3 tsp but I had to add near double that to get to 650? Felt like I was doing something wrong. But I def let it dissolve and stirred and checked

Maybe your tester has 2 or 3 settings.
What you fed is OK one time, it doesnt need to be perfect. By next watering the plant will tell you, and the tester figured out.
I’d favor ppm over teaspoons/gallon especially using dry nutes.
