First Photo Period Plant run

[deerman12]

I am fairly new, I had a fairly successful run of autos, this was a freebie Critical Photo seed. I experimented with it, treated it like a bad step parent, but it has come along nicely. I am 36 days into my 12/12 switch. Any suggestions on minerals or things to different than when I finished my autos? It has been so much different than growing autos. I can see advantages and disadvantages to both.

Well it may be your first but it doesn’t look anything like a beginner.
You’re gonna be really good at this…..I can tell.
Love the way you lollipopped and dealt with your canopy. There is nothing worse than hour after hour of trimming loose buds that populate the bottom 2/3 of a plant. You won’t have that problem.
Anyway, what’s your medium and what are you feeding??
I’ve attached a chart that shows what a plant needs for each stage of the grow.
You are roughly halfway through flower and the plant looks totally healthy. As you’ll see from the chart, mid-flower is when you feed it more P & K.
I top dress with dry organics but regardless of how you’re doing it, introducing more P & K is the right move.
Of course, this depends on what & when you last fed the plant.
Smoking cannabis may not be addictive but growing it damn sure is.

Thank you! I am growing in Happy Frog, Ocean Floor, and perlite. I had some Advanced Nutrient Trio and Cal Mag I was using on my last batch of Autos. I just started using Flora Flex on my new batch Autos. They are performing well. Thank you for posting the graph. I hope to get proficient at growing both. I did water it last with "recharge", it seemed to respond well. I am going use the B1, B2, and Full tilt and Bulky B. I appreciate your comments.
