This is such a great site!! Just wanted to get that out there. My question is when should I add some nutrients? I’ve got 5 gorilla glue autoflower from ILGM along with their nutrient package. My plants are 3 weeks old, they look really good, 1 plant out of 5 seems to be the runt. I watered them 6 days ago and have the urge to add something to them with my next watering which is probably tomorrow. I’m using fox farm ocean soil and I know it’s very charged with nutes already. I don’t want to mess anything up. Here is the latest picture, I’d love to get your opinions. Thanks

Autos can be touchy, from my experience. I haven’t tried any nutes before week four and they really didn’t like any until flower. Even at that, I had to gradually work my way up to full strength nutes from 1/4 of the recommended dosage. I believe using organic nutes gives a little risk barrier when feeding but that is just my opinion. If you want to feed and still in veg, N is really all you will want until pre-flower. Patience is tough when you want your girl to flourish but sometimes little is more. Happy growing and good luck with your girls, they look ravishing!

you should not need any nutrients for quite a while with that soil, as long as they keep getting new growth & looking healthy, i would not add anything…

Thanks, that’s exactly what I was thinking! I don’t want to mess up a good thing.

Everybody is right. If I was to do anything before week 4 it would be foliar spray liquid kelp. 1/2 dose and maybe every 3 days at lights out.

Please tell me if im freaking out for no reason. This 1 plant looks like it turning yellow. I don’t get it. I did 6.2 ph when watering plants last night. It looks like nutrient burn but I haven’t added anything at all. It’s been in the fox farm ocean soil. What’s going on?
