I need to pay better attention, I didn't even see he was using bloom nutes. I am more of a peep the pics click like make a comment to watch the thread kinda guy.

@FrankieCoste nice thread I will be following along.
Just to throw my 2cents into the mix I would say that taking into consideration the pot size and the age of the plant, right now if I was you I would be feeding 1.5 litres of water and nutes every feed. I would also be watering from the outside of the pot and only putting a little splash directly at the base of the plant.

This will do 2 things the first is that the roots will grow out to the edges of the pot where the water is. Don't worry about the plant getting enough water it will because osmosis will spread the water all through the soil it will just be wetter around the edge
The second thing is that you will be able to learn how your pot feel wet and dry without the risk of overwatering or the water in the pot going stagnant and causing problems. by the end of the grow you should be watering between 2-3 litres every 3 days.

I also noticed that you are using sensi bloom a and b. I am wondering why you are using bloom so early? To get the best out of this plant you want to use sensi grow a and b for the first 5-6 weeks of its life and fully switch to bloom once the vertical growth has slowed down. in week 3-4 you will want to cut back on the grow and introduce the bloom at the same rate you cut back on the grow so if you are using a 4ml dose per litre you would do something like this

week 3
3ml grow a+b, 1ml bloom a+b

week 4
2ml grow a+b, 2ml Bloom a+b

week 5
1ml grow a+b, 3ml bloom a+b

week 6
4ml bloom a+b

also you don't need cal/mag yet start using it when you introduce the bloom.

I hope everything goes well for you buddy

Thanks a lot for your replies :)
I am using Sensi Bloom all the way because I am following a schedule specifically designed for autoflowers, which has been highly recommended to me. From my understanding, there is really not much difference between Sensi Grow and Sensi Bloom. What differs is the amount of each mineral, which is slightly superior in the Bloom formula. As I am giving less than the recommended dose of nutrients, and as Bloom nutes are stronger than Grow nutes, what I am really giving in terms of nutes should be about the same as if I used Grow at the recommended dosage, shouldn't it?
The reason I am following this schedule is because I wanted something simple with not so many ingredients for my 1st grow. Then someone suggested this particular schedule.
It goes as follows:

Days 1-10
Water
Days 10-20
Sensi Bloom A&B at 1ml per 1L (of both A&B)
Days 20-30
Sensi Bloom A&B at 1.5ml per L
Days 30-40
Sensi Bloom A&B at 2ml per L.
Days 40-45
Sensi Bloom A&B at 2ml per L.
Carboload at 1ml per L.
Days 45-60
Sensi Bloom A&B at 2ml per L.
Carboload at 1ml per L.
Overdrive at 1ml per L.
Days 60-70
Water.
(Calmag can be added at 1ml per 1L all the time you feed Sensi bloom or if and when you see a deficiency.)


It has been used hundreds of times by many growers all around the world and apparently with really good results given its simplicity and low cost! Hope it will work out for me too!

She would like the grow whole lot better.
Your going to have a small plant with this schedule.
@FrankieCoste
I'm aware that your following another schedule,but you might want to look at it better. The difference in Grow and Bloom is levels on minerals,as in grow has more nitrogen and less Photash. That's what she needs to get bigger,taller,and more sites.
Seraphim is a master of Autos so I would at least consider his opinions.
Try this grow out on your feed schedule and then on your next grow try his.
Just as a experiment.

If got time check out my threads in my signature below.

Good luck

Thanks for your message bro, I appreciate it!
I see what you mean.. If I had been given Seraphim's schedule before the one schedule I am using I definitely would have used it. But you're right, I can always give it a try for my next grow - the only thing is that I need to buy extra nutrients. These are starting to get a bit expensive, but well, I want my plants to be healthy so I think I'd just go for it :)
Even if the plant is small at the end, it doesn't really matter to me as it's my first grow. Plus I've got a GSC germinating right now and she will be planted probably tonight or tomorrow. I might try and get some Sensi Grow for her. It's just really not easy to get hold of Advanced Nutrients around here.
Would you recommend getting some Voodoo Juice and Rino Skin at the same time? Someone has advised me those 2 to complement my schedule... It adds to the bill but is it truly worth it? Can they make a difference?
Thanks! I'd be putting the usual daily pic a bit later in the day.
Peace,
FC

That's why we are here my friend . To help out each other out.
I'm not familiar with Vodoo juice.

I'm using a box set that ran $50. Oo. The General Organics Go-Box ,it has everything that you will need for nutrients.it has lasted through three grows now,so I've gotten my money out of it.
But all that you really need is to get the "Grow " nutrients.
Good luck my friend.

Thanks man!
Wow, that's pretty cheap. Definitely cheaper than the AN line...
Might give it a try if I'm not satisfied with AN.
Here's the updated pic for today by the way :)

AND I've just planted the Girl Scout Cookies, but this time with much more soil in the pot!
Peace,

Hey guys,
Here's the updated pic at DAY 16!

I decided to follow your advice and ordered some Sensi Grow (finally), as well as some Voodoo Juice for the roots and Rhino Skin for silica! Should be getting that by next week I reckon. I'll stick with Bloom for her as I don't wanna create any stress in her nutrition, but I'll definitely use Grow for the GSC that's been planted yesterday.
Peace,

Thanks for your reply! Yeah I do keep it moist. I give it bits of water 3 or 4 times a day. Probably about half a litre per day. My pots are 18L pots but I've filled them only at about 2/3 or 3/4 of their total volume. So that'd probably be about 13-15L of soil in there.
Today I started feeding her but only at 0.8mL of nutes per L of water to see how she reacts. I feel that she might be hungry though. The lamp is producing quite much heat as it is in a confined space, but I just let my cabinet doors open at the moment, and added a fan and a humidifier not too far too.

thats too much water buddy.thats why theyr curling.
u have to let the soil dry out a good bit between waterings.lift the edge of the pot to feel how heavy it is while wet then dont give any water until its a good bit lighter.the roots need alot of oxygen so keeping em soaked in water constantly is NOT good for your plant.good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I've reduced the amount of water. I probably give her about a third of a liter a day, but feel that I have to water everyday because in 24 hours the pot has come back to its original weight and is not wet anymore... That's probably because of the heat. I feel as if placing a humidifier nearby has helped quite a lot though :)
Here's the updated pic at DAY18:

Now she is becoming real bushy haha!
