10% drainage, 5 gallon = .5 gallons run off water by weight get it good and wet pick t up then nothing till it gets droopy the whole time lifting the pot to see how it weighs empty...I'v never used AN nutrients bur TaNg dose here's his schedule...

TaNg's AN feeding schedule.

Those are his doses I'm just not feeding daily I want some runoff so it'll help me understand more about watering my plants so I'll critique it over time. Also by 5 gallons do you mean 5 gallon pot/bucket or 5 gallons of water I'm sure u meant pot/bucket but just being safe

 

[mtam12]

i use a 5 gallon air pot. I water with 2 gallons when in late veg and beyond. Good amount of run off is key. I also use a 4" small bubble stone (cheap at PetSmart) for days aerating the water. After that weigh it. You'll be able to tell by lifting the pot. I'm fairly new but have had 3 successful grows (3oz each) of ak47 auto. I water about once a week. Keep reading and asking. Keep up the good work!

My friend is doing the exact same grow almost and needs advice and he's too stoned to make a profile at the moment hah but this is what hes working with:
-Dyna gro-Grow
-Dyna gro-Bloom
-AN Big Bud
-Happy Frog Soil
-5 gal bucket/pots
*his question is, is if someone can construct him a feeding schedule for those nutes as for i can not find one anywhere for autoflowers.

Hello sthrash,

Looks like for a new grower, you have done your home work, and you have not cut any corners. You will be proud of your grow I am sure, as you should be so far with what you have done.

It is a great idea, to find an Experienced grower, who has some solid documented grows under his or her belt when seeking advice (yes we have expert grower's who are on both sides). Many folks have good advice, but the problem comes when we try to follow too many people's advice at the same time. It took me a few grows to find out who's grows are the shit, and I mimic them. ha ha They dont' mind, and I don't always tell.

Hope to see more soon,

Peace

Eek

I cant find any grows on this forum with Dyna Gro or any other forum that deals with autoflowers unfortunately.

 

[Eekman]

Okay well not everyone uses dyna grow, if it is not easily usable for auto's, that might explain the scarcity of the subject. But you do have a feeding schedule yes? see what other's are doing, but don't worry too much about your feeding, as much as all the other little things that the master grower's are doing. For instance, Some people water everyday, and some every other day, some every three days. Not that you don't have an idea, just a thought on how you can get more tips.


Let me know if I can help more

Peace

Eek

One thing for sure about autos is that they can be sensitive to nutrients. It's always a good thing to try 1/4 strength at first and watch how it reacts add more or less as required. I found myself feeding once a week, that was only my first grow though. I used the manufacturer's recommended dosage after ramping up slowly.
MasterEekman has the best idea, see what some of the great growers have going!
Peace and happy growing.
