I've been going by the ratios on the labels of the nutrient bottles (4ml/1l). I water my plants every 2nd day with the nutrients.About a week into preflower all of the heads drooped down and some died. I have halved the nutrient water (2ml/1l). When should I use water with nutes?😓
Hi,
seems to me the growing medium your using was already charged with nutrients, so feeding the full recommended dose (which by the way, you never should do) it had no need for the extra, and at full dose, you're asking for trouble. 1- Never go by the recommend dose on the label always start with 1/2 or 1/4 strength and build it up, that way you can see the plants tolerances of what you're growing, and less is always more growing. 2-Using a soil medium, chances are you've already got nutrients in them to last the plant around 4-5 weeks depending on what mix you have. 3- Don't overwater, less is more.. you can add but can't take away, let your medium dry properly before next watering.
Lastly, my solution. Let your medium dry up, giving it a few days. Check it by poking your finger into the soil, if its dry you wont have any deposit on your finger when you take it out and it wont be wet. If it is you'll feel it and be left with a wet finger. Once its dry, flush out the nutrients you've put in and start again with just plain pH'd water until she shows you a start of a deficiency and needs nutrients which you can then start to lightly feed, lightly being the key word ;) hope this helps
Day 73, looking great, HPS 18/6, added some small 30w CFLs in tent, trichomes look mostly cloudy, I will harvest when they start turning amber, stopped feeding 3 or 4 days ago
@snippybanjo, Next time with autos you might want to think about going direct into your finish pots. This will stop any stress to the plants during pot up :)
This will help a lot my friend!
Looking good so far and thank you for the diary update :)
All the best

@DinafemSeeds,Yes, this is final transplant. I was using soil with nutes for seedlings in the first pot and now its in soil with nutes for bloom.
I overfed them and burned them a little recently but I flushed and now using half strength :/
@snippybanjo, Will this be your final pot up mate?
As a rule we do not recommend potting up autoflowering strains rather you would have been better going direct into your finish pots :)
Autos hate root disturbances which then effects growth and overall end production :)
All the best

@snippybanjo, Younger plants seem to be a little more resistant to over feeding than when they are in flower for some reason. But hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here. Good luck!
@DudeGrowsWeed, thanks, i'll start feeding once a week. I had no idea how much I was overdoing it...😰
(The amnesia took it the worst out of all strains in the tent and moby dick held up the best)
Hi @snippybanjo ! Is it in a One Liter air pot that you transplanted it in? If so, i'm in the same conditions : Moby Dick Auto in a One Liter air pot ! I will definitely be watching this ! Good luck ! :)
@DinafemSeeds, i would have done that if i had a bigger space to grow. Floor space is 26x36 cm (14x10 inches). All i could fit in were a One Gallon smart pot + a One Liter air pot.
@AxlWeed, A 1l pot is very small my friend and you may want to try a bigger pot on your next grow :)
We recommend a minimum of a 1 gallon but better results with 2-3 gallon or 11l pots :)
Just a thought my friend ;)
All the best

@snippybanjo Hi there! Bio-heaven is a complementary intake for the BioBizz products, supposed to increase the BioBizz nutrients absorption. But based on what I see on your diary, you're not using any nutrients but 'Alga-grow', which has a different formula than BioGrow. As an emergency move, I would flush the roots for a couple of days with correctly pH-adjusted tap water, use some foliar spray at night to help them recover (like BioBizz Alg-a-mic), then see what happens and if things are doing good re-start feeding with some BioGrow+BioHeaven. I'll be around, keep us up-to-date, good luck with these beauties!
Another AutoDinafem strain born on the grow :)
Best of luck with this grow my friend.
We will be along for the ride and watching with interest :)
All the best

Time to get those scissors out and your fingers sticky mate :)
Happy harvesting she's ready to come down. Get dried and then consumed :)
Hope all is well my friend?
All the best
