They look nice and healthy. Well done!
That Miracle Grow still seems to have nutrients in it. You have the space for it. Why not do some light low stress training to expose the lower buds to more light? If you wait unitl they start needing water, then you can gently tie down some of the side branching. The stems will be more pliable then. For tie down points with fabric pots, I like to use those spring paper clips as they are easy to position.
Just a thought.

Welcome to the community! From what I know with the miracle grow soil is it has slow release nutrients so it should be good for the majority of not whole grow

Hi @SoulOurGarden, I started my Autos on that to, so there won’t be need for me to add nuits to the end if even then?
I’ve never used miracle grow myself so I can’t speak from experience. This is just what I’ve read online, I would imagine you would need to add to finish the plants off yes and I can’t see there being enough stored in the soil.

Cheers @SoulOurGarden, it’s just the place I got my coco from had none this day and I bought couple bags of soil with nuits on it, so you think just pH water will be OK till near the end, my Autos are just hitting 4 weeks old and are really after taking great shape, in a week or so I’ll start the bloom firtalizer, cheers pal

so there’s a very small amount of browning on the tips of the leafs, im assuming its over feeding???

Overfeeding sounds right, go a little lower with the feeding and it should stop browning the tips

hey thanks man
Do you have a pic you can share? It is my feeling that a little browning at the tips is ok because that indicates that you have given the plant the maximum amount of food; but that’s all. If memory serves it was either George Cervantes or Tommy Chong that said that they actually preferred to have browning tips for that very same reason. If you would please post a pic so we can see just how “brown” the leaves are.
An today I had noticed some yellow
Pretty sure I’m just over thinking it all though. Appreciate any an all the help.

Based on your pics I that you will be fine, you have just maximized the amount of food that it can ingest. I would water twice before you feed again (use a feed/water schedule of water, water and then feed) and I would also remove all fan leaves that are under the branches that have buds or bud sites, if that makes sense. If not, let me know and I’ll post pics for you.

When fan leaf stems get 3" or longer I either cut them at the base at 45 degree angle or easier still is to “pluck” the stem by removing it with your thumb and index finger. I usually pull from the base of the stem. Hope this helps.
probably a dumb question but fan leaves are the ones at the bottom of the plant right, not any of the leafs around the buds right??
Hi @SoulOurGarden, sorry for coming back on this post but one of my autos are really gone droopy, in one day, this had in sure potassium difecheancies, edges lead turning brown looking burn, but don’t know, and advice appriciated!iv just flushed it, and the ph from the flush was 4.1,so after flushing i ph 6. 5 and gave it a drink, can you advise me please16162729216616145917994323959161|375x500
It looks to me like it’s either been under watered or over watered. After the flushing, I allow the soil to dry completely, that’ll allow the plant to use up any remaining nutrients and after the soil is dry I would start new nutrients
