So this is my first grow. I mixed my growing media...

NarwhalUpstarted grow question 5 years ago

So this is my first grow. I mixed my growing media 2 parts peat moss to 1 part fox farm ocean forest in five gallon pots. I am wanting to grow organic and have an all purpose 4-4-4 fertilizer and my other fertilizer is 2-5-3. My question is when should I start to amend with a top dressing and how much of each fertilizer should I use? Thanks for the help and this platform.

If you have the fox farm id say you can wait at least a few weeks. And with the top dressing, I'd recommend a couple tablespoons spread on top, possibly as the plant get further along you may want to change to 1/3 + cup of dressing and then eventually change to a bloom like top dress the 2-5-3. Id start the 2/5/3 just before your flip to 12/12. And just watch for any deficiences to increase the top dress. I love the sustainable organic grows, good luck, happy growing. ✌️

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…
