Day 34 Big Boi autos

Looking great!! What does your Jacks schedule look like with autos? Im on my first coco grow with salt nutes but I’m used to soil grows and can’t seem to get my nutes right

Honestly I have been running em 100%. Gradually stepping it up from a 25/75 321/h2o then to 50/50 then 75% etc.. and really just let them tell me.
I don’t feed for run off as I’m running seven gallon fabrics and MY PERSONAL OPINION is that my girls seem to respond better to feeding a little bit a lot. By that I mean I give them just what they need (top feed if you will) and when the top dries up I do it again. I’m working on getting automated, but the hand watering three to four times daily gives me more time with my girls and I’m more likely to notice signs of stress yada yada yada.
More importantly it reduces the risk of fungus gnats and other excess water related issues. I’ve grown several different strains both auto and photo and I know several people swear by r/o , but I feel like most of them are also using smaller pots than 7 g. Idk don’t really care either. I know what I have success with. I’ve read a couple papers from horticulturists that I’ll link (if you want) that explains how the top feeding as I described above can bring explosive growth as the plant gets to uptake nutrients more often and there is not waste.
Currently I have added some new stuff to the regimen by the way of silica, worm castings and mycorrhizal fungus propagules.
I can link that to you as well, but the guys at JRPeters (jacks) will actually test your water and tell you what to add or subtract from your feed. The site really is helpful and all backed by science and results.
The new additives are insanely effective btw. I’m doing a photo and an auto run and they are both gas! For some reason I can’t post any pics. The site keeps saying the file is too large!! Even ones I’ve previously uploaded. Wtf?? Lol. I’ll get some thing up to back up my words though lol

Your observations about lower buds is intriguing. In my current run I'm planning to top and not do any other training except to chop colas when they get too close to the light. I'm curious about how much fill-in will happen after I do that.

I usually toss lower buds into the trim bin for RHO. I just assumed they're sub-par because I read it online. I'll have to do a proper test so I can stop wasting buds.
