So basically I'm in week 4 of veg for king kush autoflower and what I did was I gave a hefty 1 gallon filtered water with Big bloom and grow big hoping to get a little bit more size before they began to bloom but this morning when I checked I noticed the top flower for at least one of the plants opened up and I could see some bud production. Now I'm going to switch light spectrum from veg to flower after this post but my question to you folks is should my next feeding be straight filtered/ RO water or should I just go from nute to nute. My next feed would probably be 2 days from now tiger bloom/ big bloom and CALMAG. I have pictures ready if anyone needs those.
A slight dilemma

Autoflowers are grown differently. You don't have to change the light schedule, They don't need much nutes and they still grow while flowering.

you should watch the plant and see how it responds.no idea what you are using to grow water dirt coco sand..... but different plants different needs

Your main worry should be lock out. I almost never give plain RO water cause of the osmotic shock to the soil cause the water is so damn clean.
Last night I went to check on the plants and they were drooping from it seemed to me a lack of water so despite my reservations I went from nute to nute and gave a full feeding of grow big, tiger bloom, calmag and big bloom and this morning they perked up really nicely. I'll check again tonight before lights out and see where we are at and I'll give an update. Also you don't like low tds water? I was giving my plants pure RO water for 3 weeks before feeding. Is that a problem for the future?

Na, you should have went straight to tiger bloom cause it's organic so takes longer for the plant to uptake. Easy easy easy on the Cal mag, happy frog has plenty of calcium in it already. I use cal mag at 1/2 the rate when running in Fox Farm soils and I would use cal mag and big bloom on waterings in between feeding with tiger bloom, not at the same time.
Alright I'll try that. Thanks man!

All this nute shit is really just crazy imo.
What I do is just use the Fox Farms. There are 4 of them. Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, that brown shit, and the Cal Mag.
I just use 2 tsp each of those with 2 gallons of water. Just 2 tsp each of the 4 bottles.
Coincidentally if you just use the 2 tsp of each to 2 gallons of water, the PH comes out just right at 6.5
Problem solved. No matter what phase the plant is I just give them this. It's a small dosage in general and it covers all the bases. The PH is just right and I don't fuck with anything else.
I do this for every watering. Oh and use water only soil like Great Lakes or Purple Cow Indicanja.

I was going to say there is no way in hell Fox Farm soils are going to handle that much more calcium but i see at the end your not using Fox Farm soils.
