    Default Im at 21 days with no nutrients when do I start to feed

    Hi growers. Im growing a Pineapple Express Auto in Fox Farm soil. Shes in a 5 gallon pot and doing really well. Temp and humidity are spot on. Im now 21 days in with just plain tap water thats been left for a few weeks prior to using. Im unsure when to start my Old Timer nutrients. Is it best to wait until she shows a deficiency before I start? I know that might seem crazy, but this soil is perfect so far. Any input is much appreciated 👍🏻
    There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.

    I am a newb so take this with a grain of salt. I feel that the plant will tell you when it needs nutes. Wait for the signs. Use your boost and root stimulant if you would like but the main nutes I say wait til the plant starts to tell you it needs them. THen on your next run maybe try and start a mild solution early on and measure differences.

    If you are in ocean Forrest you may get another 3+ weeks before needing nutrients.. I have done a fast auto with only one feed.. The soil typically is hot but I love it.

    If you forget, get a notepad and write key things to remember down or a schedule, monday feed, check leaves Tuesday check leaves for pests fill up humidifier top or super crop etc. Write down Any problems you find and the date and time o you can see how long it took to sort itself out temps and humidity readings daily or every other day. That way when something goes wrong you can catch it and look at your recorded data and you can then see ahh I upped the feed to quick or I need to foliar feed cal/mag twice a week instead of once. We do get a lot of information from all of the veteran growers and even from guys on their 2nd or 3rd grow but if we going to ask these guys to give us their wisdom we need to take it down and use it. Sounds like a rant but it’s not, just saying we need to appreciate the knowledge passed down from grower to grower 🤓

    The leaves tell you everything you need to know from to hot to too cold deficiencies or toxicity leaves will curl claw roll and change colour
