Lets Set Nutes and PH Numbers Straight All Thoughts Welcome

I am growing Big Bang auto-flower in miracle grow soil less mix and have posted on this form many times each time i get different opinions. I have gone the a hydroponic store and bought what the guy told me to buy being a first time grower and everything so I ended up with Ph Up, Ph Down, Sensi Bloom A+B Ph Perfect (which i found out was for hydroponics after a nitrogen deficiency), Cal Mag. all of these i have used but never got the proper info on how to. I know that all plants are different and that they all require different amounts but how often do i feed and how do i know if that's often enough or too much. I also what to know if anyone recommends any nutes and there feeding techniques. I want to figure out the perfect Ph to i need to know if 6.6 is a good ph for my plants.

This is what my plant looks like being 3 feet tall 3 1/2 months old 4 weeks into flowering
This is my first plant and it was grown with over 300 watts of cfls

I am starting a new Big Bang auto-flower in miracle grow Expand'n Grow compressed potting mix
NPK: 0.45-0.15-0.30
Max moisture 15%
organic matter 85%



I planted the germinated seed 4 days ago in a jiffy puck and now have transplanted into a 5 gallon pot of Expand'n Grow. Any tips to help me make this plant have a better less nute burned life are welcome.


Thanks in advance everyone Keep GROWING

Feed conservatively. Sme of the mg stuff has time release nutes in it, so be careful of that. Read the labels, feed 1/4 strength at first and adjust as your plant speaks to you.

I like using a mix with no nutes so I can control what goes in. I use dyna-gro and am happy with. I start at 1/4 the rec dosevand ease my way up. 6.6 is fine.

Well ur first mistake was listening to the guy at the shop and buying all that shit...dumb on ur part he just wanted to sell u shit....and for ph 6.8 is wat ive always done guy at the store said 6.3 for soil but mine is 6.8 out of tab..as for nutes do 1/4 strength first and work ur way up ...each plant is different there is no right answer

Feed conservatively as someone above said, start at 1/4 nutes. As someone else said, with hot soil, don't feed right away.

You need to spend some time researching. Although your local grow shop is great for info, you're best advised to go in there with some knowledge so they respect you.
