Now I get to sit back and learn somethingView attachment 4711050as always thank you for your time and help
Looks like your settled for the night
From what I seen, I have snapped main stems off 20201011_202728.jpg2 plants, had temp fluctuations, and they seem to be quite resilient as long as you resolve it, I guess I will see when its harvest time how successful I have been lol
Here's my choice of consumption,

How long have you been giving them nutes? Soil is good for autos up until about week 4 or 5. They don't look bad. Slight burns but nothing to freak about.
I'd suggest not canceling but backing off a slight bit on the nutes.

My 5 gallon pots get 1 gallon of water per watering. It ensures run off. I do let them dry heavily between waterings.
Sorry I ment I've given nutes every other day since I started using them, as I feed every other day,
Do you think I should switch to flower nutes instead now or so another week but reduced veg nutes, like 1 mil per litre possibly

Ok what am I looking at here I'm old school but love to learn as always thank
Its a cheaper version of a volcano, you put your herb in once grinded or picked, an element hests it up whilst a fan blows the smoke into a bag, or you can do it like a pipe and it blows it gently in, you can change temperature for different cannaboids to be activated, thc also can be burnt away and give you the high , the higher the temp , the more of a body stoned you get, you can chose a chilled out feeling or intense if your ready to relax after a long day
For me it helps when I push myself too far, trying to regain my fitness after covid in march, im one of the group of survivors who have ended up having lasting symptoms, post viral syndrome, it is getting less severe but has taken 5months nearly to get here and a lot of weed lol

Thanks for the reply, I am just reaching 28days from starting out, they started preflowering the last few days, sorry I should of put it better, I have just been getting worried about the yellow veins basically,
As for the nitrogen, do I simply just feed with water for a week till that comes back? Or should I carry on with my nutes as its in flower, i appreciate any advice, so far its been a mine field , but it has been really enjoyable learning, and testing things out for my self but as its starting to flower now, I dont want to trial and error so much at this point
Just lower ya nutes abit . Drop the ec . Slight tip burn an ya at the point where ya plants are taking as much as they want . Ease of for a week then hit em hard . Just my opinion

For a while they were being fed250 ml and then 500ml with the nutrients, but it was every 2 days feed, thats kind of ended up the norm during this,I did over water when using no nutes, had to dry it out a bit

Brill so just to get this straight, ease off as in cut down to 1ml per litre, but on veg nutes or switch to flower nutes? I even been wondering about alternating between them before stopping the veg(grow) completely
I will do it, I wondered what the tips were doing but I was more focused on the veins being weird compared to the rest of the leaf

I was actually given it, I wouldn't know how much they are, a quick Google search volcano will bring them up I would think, but yes it does help a lot, helps massively with the insomnia part as well.

I would be just using flower nutes now mate , get ya self a ec reader better to know the strength of ya feed rather than just guessing .
But ya plants do look on track :bigjoint:

Thanks I do have one, my tap water is 380 but I haven't used it tbh, I do have it down somewhere about what stage needs what ppm wise
So would you feed them nutrients every 2 days though? Or should I do 1 feed with, next feed without?

you said ya only watered last 2 times yeh?
So me personally would give them ec of 1.2 for next feed then again , then water plain ph'd then up the ec 1.4 , for 2 x , then water .. So feed , feed water ( repeat ) but that's me , other people may do things differently,

Hi, so I fed nutrients last feed but only used water for the 2 feeds prior to that,
I did feed this morning as they were completely dried out, pots were light, I gave them some bloom boost which is for when they first show signs of flowering, it said to give 1 to 2mil per litre so I gave them 0.7 per litre just to be on safe side,
So if I'm reading what you said right, I should next give them water and then feed them nutrients for the next 2 feeds after that and then water again,
I now have newb question for you lol, whats ec mean is that ppm?
The ppm was 580 on this feed, all plants received 1.5litres,

Thank you for your advice, both you and tricky were on same lines so I'm going to do what you say, they are growing like crazy right now, tomorrow is usually feed day but I am tempted to let them go real dry this time, then go back at them with this bloom stuff, it adds to the soil and increases the micro herd apparently so I suspect that will make a huge difference to my plants .
How long do autoflowers flower for? This strain is blueberry, only supposed to be a short plant too but some of these are getting huge lol
