Nutrients PK boosting for autoflowers

[milkmann]

Hello all, just wondering what the thoughts were regarding PK boosting autoflowers using the Biotabs PK booster tea / Bio-PK combination.

Given that the average lifespan of an autoflower is 10-12 weeks, when would you use each product, and at what amount? The instructions are for normal plants/photoperiod.

Currently I am doing something like:

Week 6 - PK Tea
Week 7 - nothing
Week 8 - PK Tea
Week 9 - PK Tea & Bio-PK
Week 10 - PK Tea & Bio-PK
Week 11 - PK Tea & Bio-PK
Week 12 - plain water for 7-10 days until harvest

If it's a quicker strain I'll just miss out one of the teas, always giving the first one around week 6 as the stretch slows down and the flowering begins to kick in.

The PK tea is made to instructions, and the Bio-PK is added to the tea at a rate of 10ml/L. Each plant is fed between 500ml - 1L of this tea every 7-10 days.

Also, is it normal for the PK tea to bubble over, get extremely messy, and for the granuals to never really 'dissolve' in the tea? Otherwise I'm doing something wrong.

Cheers!

ehhh, yes photo's, but imo its more for cuttings from the vids but photos certainly. but its simple for me. once stretch stops and pistils are really popping out and forming and spinning up,HIT em with a nice average dose of flower foods.the granules or rock formations and other various components from harvesting and making said flower PK boosters. you can strain them out of a simple top dressing of said granules. I personally dont use them and toss them on my out door buckets for seasons flowers to avoid any hot elements doubling up in my pot. and teas do foam over,its not that big a deal. just use a taller bucket and/or try n save the foam and top dress you pots and water it in.and for autos with the proper amounts of stuffs,I 'll flower tea it maybe twice after stretch stops n so forth. but ill pre soak the pot prior to sowing with the Organitrex and tier/Plug the seedling area(s) to avoid any issues.never had any myself. ut if you see it slacking and iits a larger strain, hit it more often with a mellow dose of N as well. but normal strength I use often and twice a flower cycle.not saying you couldnt use more, its just not always needed.
