Tangie autos

So I let the plants feed off the soil till they showed signs of hunger which was first week in flower then I started them on a bloom heavy nutrient regime. Looking back now I should have had them on Veg nutes for first 2-3 weeks till stretch had stopped then switched them over. I also started them too light, I should have ran higher EC when they showed signs they needed fed. Leaves had way too little nitrogen for tail end of flower. I think the soil is holding on to water too much with autopots which can cause plants to loose chlorophyll (the green in the leaves) in flower. There are a few causes of chlorosis and when the green has gone the plants can no longer get the energy from the lights, they don’t bulk up or pump out half as many trichomes. This is the main reason I don’t defoliate, if I encounter problems in flower then the plant can use it’s stored nutrients to get to the finish line. They might look pretty fucked but I’d rather that and them survive than loose them at this stage. Next run I’m going to use coco, it means I’ll have to feed from day one but at least I can build them up and know what they’ve had. More lessons learnt, one more week or so then on to the next. Thanks for stopping by ✌️🏽✌️🏽
