First grow please help!

Hello all, This is my first grow Northern Light Auto by RQS. The plant is grown in Bio Bizz light mix and I have been following the feeding schedule for All mix to keep the feeds light. I am into my 8th week and have noticed a dramatic change in leaf colour. I have just upped bio bizz grow to 2ml per litre and bloom to 4ml per litre as I think it’s showing signs of under feeding but as it’s my first really don’t know if I’m doing the right thing and help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't worry about the leaf colour , it is just the plants coming to the end of there life , stop feeding and just give ph water

I will do thank you for the response. I was expecting at least another 3 weeks of feeding then 2 weeks of flush taking it to 12 weeks. Is it common for them to mature so quickly?

8th week

From seed, or flowering?

Those look like very nice fall colors to me, but I grow in soil and don't feed my autos...some stay green until the end, and some color-up weeks before chop

That’s from seed.

The first seedling picture IMG_6051 was taken 25th December. Have I succeeded? Shall I start to flush now for a couple of weeks then harvest?

Have I succeeded?

I think you're going to have some weed soon...but they look a little early, you probably have a couple weeks left - patience at the end of grows is always hard


What do the trichs look like; and what do you want them to look like?:

I don't feed plants, so I can't speak to flushing...but there are a lot of smart helpful folks on here when it comes to that and someone should chime in

Hey,
Looking really nice. Job well done!
They are getting close. What I do is watch the trichomes at this stage. Get yourself a loupe, pocket magnifier, somewhere around 30-40x anymore and their to hard for me to use. Look at the trichomes they should be all or mostly all cloudy with some ambers. That's what I generally go for. I have had grows where they really didn't amber so I went for all cloudy. . . Nothing about all of this is cast in stone, but that's one of the things I enjoy about growing! @Mozzy left a nice chart explaining the whys of it all with regards to trichome colors.
Flushing is a whole 'nother subject and I have my way. I would look around and see what folks are doing. I know users of salt based fertilizers like to flush with water.
Peace,

What soil are you using if you don’t add any feed during the whole grow?

What soil are you using if you don’t add any feed during the whole grow?

I grow autos in several gallons of organic soil, in aerated sub-irrigated planters (SIPs). There are plenty of folks that make their own organic soil from compost, etc. I currently use a decent bag soil available locally that is pretty in-exspensive:
