Hey....on this lil girl some of the older sucker are yellow as the pic shows and some of the middle growth is getting lighter than the newer growth. They are 30 days old in roots organic and only been feed a 1/4 tsp of GH micro,bloom,koolbloom and budcandy.......my other plant has had the identical process but has no yellowing but hasn't flowered yet like this one. What does she need?

1. She looks hungry. Where did you find 2.5ml as a proper strength for GH Flora 3-part? Typically it's something like 2.5, 5 and 7.5 (about 4 times more than you're feeding).

2. It's way to early for the "bloom booster" gizmos. (They're not necessary. But, if you're going to use them, probably the last 2 weeks?).

3. You're using hydro nutrients in an organically-active medium. That's not usually optimal.
 
I grew autos in soilless with GH 3-part. I used the so-called "Useless feeding schedule." (Google for it). It is stronger than the "half the labeled strength" people usually use GH 3-part.
 

In the OP's first post s/he said "GH grow, micro bloom." That led me to believe "GH 3 part." Are you sure that's the same stuff you're looking at via blueplanet?

The GH Flora 3-part *bottle* says 15, 10, 5 in veg. People usually use half that (although, I followed the Useless schedule which is closer to 3/4 strength). Half would be 7.5, 5, 2.5. So, feeding 2.5 of each would be significantly less than half-strength.

The GH 3-part says 10, 10, 10 in transition. Half is 5, 5, 5 (sorry, that sounds like I'm talking down to you. But, obviously, 2.5, 2.5, 2.5 is quarter strength).

As long as you know what's going on, that's fine with me. I'm not trying to make you believe something wrong.

sorry for the mix up i'm not the op just seen 3 part 2.5 ml. on your post that's 1/4 strength
for say about the same blue planet has real high ppm i'm using now in promix
 
What does would you recommend for autoflowers I don't use GH flora grow because of the organic soil the floramicro has enough nitrogen in it to make up for the Flora gro

I don't think autoflowers have special dietary needs. I use Grow More Sea Grow (see sig). It's better for soil. (GH 3-part is great for soilless.).

You might get by using only two of the 3-part bottles if you increase them to half strength. I think you're problem is that you're feeding about 200ppm. The Lucas formula calls for 8 & 16ml (micro & bloom). But, someone just posted today with a rough-looking plant in late flower and he's using that. The NPK ratio comes out pretty imbalanced (1-1.9-1.7). I don't reach that high PK until the end of flower.

If it were me, I would follow the 3-bottle schedule. Or, switch to a balanced ratio 1-1-1 product like MiracleGro Tomato, Jack's Classic or Grow More Sea Grow All Purpose (which I use).
 
I just watered the cheese and used only micro and hygromize it went in at 6.2 ph runoff was 6.1 ph.....my ppm reading was about 200 in my solution run off was 800 ppm.....that organic soil is still hot isn't it?
