AK 420 auto Watering Times and Nutrition

Watering your seedlings is one way to provide nutrients. Make sure they are not stressed and deficient, knowing when to water your plants and how much run off there should be, can make a big difference in how healthy the roots become.

When seedlings are growing and during the first 3-4 weeks, this is the time when it is best to feed little and often. Keeping a close eye on moisture levels in the pot is very important, and a good way to make sure the pots are well oxygenated is to gently water around the edges.

After lightly watering for the first 3-4 weeks, we then recommend watering only when the pots are totally dry. The balance of wet and dry will encourage roots to push out, searching for air and moisture. Once the ak-420 automatic plants have been watered, you should wait for the pots to become light and dry before watering again.

As far as nutrition is concerned, there are several ways a grower can provide the relevant nutrients over the life cycle of the plants. The first is using hard foods such as soil and compost combined with a water only diet. The other is to use liquid nutrients that will provide a well-balanced amount of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium.

autoflowering Cannabis plants will want a high level of Nitrogen available for the first 4 weeks, then a P-K dominant nutrient solution from week 4 onwards. During flowering, it is best to cut off Nitrogen levels and focus on Phosphors and Potassium. Bat guano can be an excellent organic nutrient for autos, otherwise any flowering feed from a Cannabis brand will work wonderfully.
