Need help with flowering nutes!!

[slurpyterpy]

Hey y'all I'm new to this but I got some Cinderella jack auto and og blueberry auto and both seem to be getting into the flowering stage as they are 25 days old. I'm just trying to get some opinions on if things are looking good and if it's too soon to start giving it the tiger bloom. Any help on timeline to start flowering nutes id hella appreciate. Much love

How much vertical space do you have? Are you planning to Top or train?

 

[Captspaulding]

Yes you can, give some grow big too.
Start at 1/3 a dose per gallon of tiger.
And tick it up if they start acting up.

I would also turn your light down some

I have about 6 feet to work with, it's a closet space I converted. I'm using a mars hydro fc300 and it's about 12" above the canopy and turned to about 70 percent because I started getting led burn I think. These have both been topped at just above the 5th node

Thank you I just gave them their first dose and so far seem to be responding fine to it. Do you have any idea what a good range for ppm concentration is for the fertilizer mix that I'm feeding?

In veg, my plants never see over 30%-40% light intensity and 30" above canopy.
In flower I keep the distance at 24"-30" and slowly turn up intensity each week until the middle of flower, I'll let it ride for a few weeks in the middle of flower and start lowering intensity again.
Sometimes my plants stretch more then I thought they would in flower and I'll get as close as 18" but I'll reduce light intensity to compensate.

With LEDs less is more, plants will tell you if they want more.

If you're using the light intensity and height recommendations from the manual, you're going to run into more issues.

Oh I don’t use ppm ppfd dli kpa at all .

I see you have another thread so I'll just comment here.

You said you use distilled because of the chlorine.
Save some of your distilled water jugs and fill them ahead of time with tap water. Keep off the lid for a bit and you won't have to worry about the chlorine. Then you can mix your nutes on feeding day and the water won't have chlorine. Also save you money if you're buying distilled.

I grow in soil also.
I filter my water through a Zero Water pitcher/filter. Probably not necessary but I feel better about it.

I've never once tested ppm, ec, tds, ph, or anything in the years I've grown and have never had an issue.

Growers get themselves in trouble trying to balance all these "measurements" and then end up over looking what the plant is actually telling them.
Keep it simple, watch the plant, ask questions, and you will be just fine!

I was saying, just use half dose with all of them. They instruct with millimeters, half of what it says per gallon I just haven’t used that swill In A looooong time. I don’t like it bc they give really bad instructions on their products, it screw new growers.
