I've learned a lot from my 1st (undocumented) grow and expect the current one to be significantly better. With that said, I am still a noob and would appreciate any comments and tips experienced growers might have for this run. Thanks!

Autos prefer to be in their final pot to start. Measure your EC and pH daily, especially if coco is your main medium. For pH, 5.8 is perfect in coco through veg then 6.0-6.2 for flower. Follow EC recommendations online,, much moreso than the instructions on the manufacturers bottle. Remember that coco often holds onto residual calmag so it's a good idea to alternate between using it and not using it. Look up a ppfd map for your specific light. You want 400 for seedling, 600 for veg, and 900 for flower. You can go higher if you have CO2.

To add to the other comments, Autos don't like to be pruned and try to leave all healthy green leaves on the plant. Removing any healthy green leaves will just reduce your plants capacity to produce energy, resulting in slower and potentially smaller growth. Remember - Maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy produced = maximum growth. Hope this helps,... Organoman.

If auto flowers it best to start in final potter so you never have to transplant. Also always have run off and test ph so you know what your substrate ph is and is in range. Npk ratio for vegging is 3-1-2. For flowering 1-2-3. Autos are lighter feeders then photoperiods. Maintaining proper light distance and using techniques like lst will increase yields. Temps around 83 degree Fahrenheit are ideal. Pinch warmer I'm vegging. Always have air circulation and know humidity levels. Plus don't be afraid to ask for help. Good luck and happy growing 🌲🌲🌲👊
