5 Weeks In, first grow. Am I doing any good?

Heyo,

Just looking for some feedback on my first grow. These are two autos (free seeds) about 5 weeks in. I've almost killed them two times, I'm pretty sure I burned the shit out of them in their seedling stage and somehow I've managed to keep them alive.

This one is a "Delicious Seeds AUTO Northern Light Blue"





This one is a "Samsara Seeds Automatic Ultraviolet"


I figured autos would be easier for my first grow. The Automatic Ultraviolet is starting to get white specs on it's leaves.

Do you think it is time to switch to flowering nutes? I'm not sure if they are going to get much bigger since I probably stunted their growth with my newbie mistakes.

They've started to flower so maybe swapping nutes is due....

Personally I stay with Canna Aqua Vega from day one to the end (I don't change to Aqua Flore).

Have you bought an EC pen to avoid frying future harvests???

Well, I think I mostly fried them because I gave them nutes when they were still seedlings. Do EC pens work with Botanicare PureBlend Pro?

ec reads your electrical conductivity, aka how much nutrients, ro water will base between 0-50 ppm tap is usually 150-250...most of the numbers in the tap is cal/mag

I have a meter which reads in PPM. I've read that when doing high pressure aeroponics, you can go pretty low on the nutrients. I've been following the recommended amount on the packages after I realized I shouldn't give them nutes as soon as they started to sprout.
