I did my first top dressing last week,with Gaia greens.Half and half of all purpose and power bloom.They have really bulked up since.I am watering ph at 6.0 and they are drinking plenty. I am having a little trouble with ventilation as it is causing slight wind burn.I have 2 clip fans coming to remedy this.So far I'm impressed at my lovely Auto Purple Pope. βοΈππ±
Hey man I would love to offer some tips if I may. Your temps are a little too cold for this stage of growth. Veg & early flower we want warmer temps with lights on and lights off. Cannabis plants love heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. So in Veg when there are no buds we want to take advantage of that fact to get nice explosive growth. In early flower the plants prefer warmer temps as well to form up nice big bud sites. We want to aim for low to mid 80's lights on and no more than 9 degrees less with lights off.
Once we get past week 4 or 6 of flower depending on strain we want to slowly open up that temp gap to send signals to the plant to bud up denser and chunkier and to produce more resin. Your lights seem fairly far away from the plants lack of light intensity will result in fluffy buds & not very much cake on them. We want to make sure we get our lights as close as possible without damaging the plants. To do this I suggest to every grower to buy a PAR meter & thermal temp gun. They will really help you get the most out of your lights potential. Please never hesitate to ask if you should ever have any questions. If you got the time follow my profile and check out my 200 light 7,000 plant diary. Happy growing friend.
@LegacyMarketFarm,thank you so much.I appreciate any advice and encouragement for my little grow.I have 3 autoflowers growing for my first time.I moved the plant for this photo. My Purple Pope is like 6 inches away from my light.The other is Tricross and it seems not to stretch too far,but it has an abundance of bud sites.I am just trying what I have learned at a commercial grow I worked at.I hope for a high yield. No pun intended lol.Again thanks for your kindness and advice. βοΈππ±
