SOIL I think I’m learning to grow... am I?

Critical Autoflower by Nirvana
Growing in Fox Farm Ocean Forest
6mL big bloom / 2mL tiger bloom per gal
Feed once a week, might dial big bloom back due to burn...

But I want to know what y’all think!

Photo is the start of Day 34, plain water pH 6.2 yesterday, next water will be another feed

I had the leaf burns last grow and I’m not sure what it is, but it’s not as bad this time around..

I'd be adding 25% perlite to dilute the infamous FFOF burn efftects
adding even more perlite should I be adding my own nutes later

good luck

Looks okay to me. Always been growing in soil. Auto or not - I would remove some on the leaves in the bottom - you have enough leaves to do so👍🏻

If she were mine I would not feed anymore N she looks over fed and i'd flush with plain Ph water let her get good and dry. Easy on the N from bloom on they need alittle but mostly P and K . My 2cents

Makes sense. I'll be sure to add more perlite next grow.

You sure on defoliating Autoflowers? I've always read to avoid it, and not to defoliate if the plant's going through some issues, such as the N toxicity I'm having.

The Tiger Bloom I use has NPK of 2-8-4; I was thinking next feed I could use a grand 1mL/gal!
