I have tried to incorporate organic elements into growing in just coco a few times and it seemed to cause more problems than good. Mostly mixing worm casting into my soil mix. I agree you are going to have to really feed them either by amending your coco with something that can hold nutrients...

I also run GH Trio in coco--every time I feed I add 2ml calmag gal and have never had issues. I have grown a good bit of auto's and they can be fickle but I don't think it's the autoflowers wanting more calmag than a photo. My starting ppm's are around 80. Some brands of calmag have different...

Just saw on my cal mag complete that they also recommend a foliar spray--sorry. I don't think you are feeding near enough 300EC in? You are pretty much in the mid veg range on your chart. I would go down to watering once a day at 75% of mid veg nutrients. Early on I would only feed once a...

I have settled into growing 75% cococ 25% perlite. I add calmag every watering as I have found it's best to prevent issues than waiting around for spots to start to appear. What is with using calmag as a foliar spray? New to me. I also dont know what CFC recipe is. Your little plant doesn't...

What kind of peppers and tomatoes did you say "you" grow? Weed doesn't make capsaicin. Do your thing man. The flushing argument is something I promised I would stay out of. Lots of variables that can go with flushing like the nutes, medium, genetics, grow style, and when you like to harvest...

I grow tomatoes and peppers too. What kinds of peppers and tomatoes do you harvest the entire plant all at once? Maybe a Roma once in a while because their determinate and the rest of the plant looks like crap. You would have thought the American Indians would have known about that common...

The only reason to flush is when you are a week from harvest and run out of nutrients. There aren't too many things in nature that get "better" when you starve them. Even if they are dying...

I quit flushing a few years ago and feed right up until I cut it down. I agree with the darkness too--BS. Be patient with your harvest time. You do have a long way to go and your buds will probably swell up to three times the size they are now under good conditions. I would also be careful...

I'm not an expert but I am seeing a lot of guys with autos like that and they went back into veg. for some reason. Pretty sure it's done but someone else on here will know for sure. Maybe make bubble hash.

Is that an autoflower?

Are your seeds in the mail or something?

If you are planning on future growing I would suggest going automated. I went from fancy watering systems to bare minimum. It can be done relatively inexpensively, put together in the time it takes to water once, and will save tons of time. I don't mind hand watering but late in flower it can...

I have seen a lot of people complain about that and studied up--never happened to me but that is a reason people are really put off on auto's. The buds will quit plumping up and it will start growing more crazy fan leaves. They say it's either genetics in the plant itself or maybe too...

The only purpose the the external reservoir is it makes it easy to top off and test. I'm not sure what you mean by water wont drain. The valves are for changing out water and moving buckets and so forth

I have never grown an auto in DWC but I have grown a number of photo's. They all took a lot longer than breeder suggestions. I hope your auto isn't going back into veg because of being overfed. I just kept my ppm levels adjusted by adding no nutes until the level I wanted. 2000 is high

Looks like it's a light issue to me but that big bottom leaf under the canopy makes me wonder. Are they drooping like that a good while before lights out? Not just the hour or so before but like 4-5? Mine were doing that when I was too high in intensity but before the leaves started the...

I now have pretty much grown in coco only for a while. I have never fooled with testing my soil pH so I'm not sure about that. Kind of does look like your pH. I keep my pH around 5.8 in veg and 6.2 in flower. If its just coco/perlite your range should be 5.5-6.5

Thats a good looking plant. I think the harvest window when we think they reach full maturity is longer than what most people think without starting to lose it's strength is longer than what most people follow. She does look ready to be hung up but I don't think six more days will matter a...

Sorry I just saw you using strips. As much as you are ingesting knowledge I am not going to suggest for you to read your light manuals. Not knocking what all said about soil and runoff pH but I think you are probably complicating a little with trying to find what kind of micronutrient will fix...

With new LED light my plants were drooping considerably long before lights out looking like they were hungry--I was learning to use it. A little before they sleep is normal but not five hours. They do also curl and claw but mine didn't do it after the drooping. Thought I had a watering issue...
