I would start using nutes at this stage. But it depends on your soil mix too. I water every 2 to 3 days. And feed, feed, feed, water, water etc. Or something similar, don't nute them every time though. 🌱👍

Probably time to start notes. I always start using 1/4 to 1/3 the recommended amount. It's easier to add more if you need to.

PK13/14
Next week I will start the PK13/14 week but 2 out of my 9 plants are a bit behind (about a week max). I have been feeding the same to all of them. Can I give them the same food with the PK13/14 even if they're not as developed? What should I do?

Ahead of schedule? Use week 9 and stop nutes early?
My grow looks a little bit ahead of achedule on day 53. Hairs are starting to turn brown and triches are a bit cloudy. I only got to the open sesame micronutrient from fox farm. Should I skip ahead in the feeding schedule and my watering today give Cha Ching instead beastie?

Reducing PPM without changing water in hydro
Thanks all for guidance on my previous question. As a follow up, can PPM be lowered by reducing feeding until they hit the right range? Currently 1500ppm but seems this is too high. Currently following the AdvancedNutrients plan.

Maximizing terpenes
How to maximize terpene production? I'm growing a strain that is supposed to be super stinky, and I so desperately want to get the full potential from this Chemdog cross. What does the plant need for producing terpenes and thiols? (My setup requires fully dissolved nutrients.)

Biobizz bio grow for auto GG
Hi guys, my baby is in the middle of second week of vegetative and her size is about 7/8cm. When do I need to give her Bio Grow? I read online to wait the 3rd knot or until she reaches 10/15cm in height. I would like to promote her growth before the flowering

Flushing Time
A bit late I know but just wanna confirm I've done the right thing flushing now? Gave up on fattening up plant 1's buds, the stem break has had clear lasting effects. Despite both being rootbound, plant 2 looks healthy. Thoughts anyone (apologies for the image quality)?

Nutrient burn.. Best runoff methods?!
What's the 'best' method for runoff? I've noticed my plant has a nutrient burn and realised I've not been watering until runoff enough which I think might have caused a build-up. Either that or the plant is perspiring more than necessary causing excess uptake. Thanks!

Potassium soil with neem oil and kelp extract as a foliar spray on seedlings
I have doubts about applying some foliar sprays. I've used Neem Oil + Potassium Soap with some kelp liquid extract, together without any issues. The benefit of using it now is obvious, but, are my seedlings too small to handle foliar sprays? Could I harm them if I apply this mix?

General Nutrient Schedule question
More a general question though specifically for growing in soil. Should you add nutrients proactively at certain stages of the lifecycle? Or wait until the plant asks/needs them? Or is it dependent on other factors like soil composition or growing style?
