Is it better to wait until you see deficiencies or just give small amounts of nutrients through the whole grow? A few of my lower leaves were slightly turning yellow and then it was like a light switch, the whole plant turned yellow. I let my plants dry before watering, ph is ok.

As it is easier to manage a deficiency than an over feeding , I would recommend you to wait for a slight deficiency and then feed her with the right nutrients amount , you don't wanna flush 19L of soil because of an over feeding issue !! Hope it will help you 😘

I prefer to see signs of deficiencies before upping the nutrients. A slight deficiency won't be a problem and can be quickly solved, but over feeding can be disastrous. What you are seeing now, is most probably the plant starting to die and won't turn green again regardless of nutrients added.

hi. i agree to Stick. if you want to feed them start with 1/3 of the ammount and wait what is happening . and never put nutrients onto a dry soil. watch your plants and give them the next time (4-5 days later) half of the amount. if they react you can go slightly to more. but on nutrients is to say.. less is more. if you give her less she shows it to you. if you give her to much she dies......- theat the same with water and light.. happy growing

Hi @907stephen! With autoflowering strains it's better not to feed unless the plant needs it. They will quickly recover from a slight deficiency if you react fast, but they won't recover fast (maybe not recover at all) from a nutrients abuse and a soil toxicity. That being said, I've been giving a few nutrients to my last autos and most of them did enjoy it. Don't forget it's also strain related. So the best thing if you want to add nutrients it to go step by step and start with a very low dosage. Keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊
