@BudzAldrin I’ve been using these nutes and so far with good results. It’s extremely hard to find a recommended frequency to feed. I did find a recommendation for every 7 to 10 days. This works fine for young plants. Once they got some size, I noticed my girls were looking like they wanted more nitrogen. So long story short, I feed ever 5 days now. They seem to be really happy now

Thank you. I’m glad to talk to someone who’s been using them. Everyone else already has their own treasures that work for them so I can’t imagine diagnoses and treatments are as easily identifiable. This is the feeding schedule I found that I’ve been mostly following. For whatever reason, this schedule only covers 8 weeks and my photoperiods definitely have a longer lifespan than that, so I’ve been following the rules for vegetative state. 2/3 of my autos are flowering (the third is starting) so this feeding schedule has been better for them. They’ve already used plant booster and flowertime. I’m mostly out of plant booster though so if I’m gonna keep using that I need to order more. What are your thoughts on this? !
@Sasquatch I’ll try feeding them in another 5 days rather than once a week. Are your plants outdoor and are they going to use the flowertime and plant booster too or just the Growtime? One of my plants has started to flower already, I think because I pulled them in the shade a few days in a row when it got so hot. I’ve left her in the sun ever since so she’s gotten many full-sun cycles but she’s made up her mind and is moving along. Another one seems like it’s in its early stages but this seems WAY too early for them (I’m in Southern California). I don’t know if I should nurture the flowers and just usher the plant along—meaning switch to flowertime and start moving her in and out of shade to simulate a shift in sunlight or just leave it be?
So should I just give them the regular nutes or should I add something to give them more Phosphorous, nitrogen, zinc and/or whatever else? They’ll get some calmag with their watering tonight

@budzaldrin I have 2 photos out side. That schedule you have is for autos. What I found is this, the chart says that you want a EC of 1.5. I read some where that this is with hard water. With that said, I cheated. I put 2/3 tsp check EC it was below the EC of 1.5. So I now give 1 tsp per gallon to get get to 1.5. I am giving Flower Time to 1 at this time. @ EC of 1.7 -1.8.
I had a auto outside getting Roberts nutes and I actually moved up to every 5 days on it also. Watch your EC and your plants. Check your run off. Look up Flower Power nutrients. More info there. Roberts nutes and flower power nutes are the same. Roberts is just repackaged. Hope I helped… Hollar any time…

I forgot about the booster… Yes I am using it. You can add that to the grow time to give your plants a kick. I started giving it every other feeding on my flowering plant. What I like about these nutes is there’s no salt build up
