This is when your autoflowers enter the early vegetative stage and begin requiring more nitrogen and calcium to build strong roots and foliage.<h2 id="&#xFE0F;-mixing-for-the-vegetative-stage-week-2-example">&#x2697;&#xFE0F; Mixing for the Vegetative Stage (Week 2 Example)</h2>Here&#x2019;s an example using&#xA0;Week 2&#xA0;from the&#xA0;Novice Feed Chart&#xA0;for a&#xA0;5-gallon batch:<div style=" text-decoration: none;" id="isPasted"><div tabindex="-1"><table data-start="2822" data-end="2983" style="margin-right: calc(14%); width: 86%;"><thead data-start="2822" data-end="2871"><tr data-start="2822" data-end="2871"><th data-start="2822" data-end="2832" data-col-size="sm" style="width: 33.6957%; text-align: center;">Product</th><th data-start="2832" data-end="2848" data-col-size="sm" style="width: 36.4505%; text-align: center;">mL per Gallon</th><th data-start="2848" data-end="2871" data-col-size="sm" style="width: 29.8562%; text-align: center;">Total for 5 Gallons</th></tr></thead><tbody data-start="2924" data-end="2983"><tr data-start="2924" data-end="2953"><td data-start="2924" data-end="2937" data-col-size="sm" style="width: 33.6957%; text-align: center;">CalMag</td><td data-start="2937" data-end="2944" data-col-size="sm" style="width: 36.4505%; text-align: center;">2 mL</td><td data-start="2944" data-end="2953" data-col-size="sm" style="width: 29.8562%; text-align: center;">10 mL</td></tr><tr data-start="2954" data-end="2983"><td data-start="2954" data-end="2967" data-col-size="sm" style="width: 33.6957%; text-align: center;">Bonnie</td><td data-start="2967" data-end="2974" data-col-size="sm" style="width: 36.4505%; text-align: center;">2 mL</td><td data-start="2974" data-end="2983" data-col-size="sm" style="width: 29.8562%; text-align: center;">10 mL</td></tr></tbody></table></div> Mixing Order: 1&#xFE0F;&#x20E3; Add CalMag first to your water. 2&#xFE0F;&#x20E3; Add Bonnie next, stirring thoroughly. 3&#xFE0F;&#x20E3; If using RO water or additives like Armadillo Armour, add those afterward.&#x1F4A1; Pro Tip: Mixing CalMag first stabilizes the solution and prevents precipitation when adding other nutrients.<h2 data-start="3305" data-end="3354" style=" text-decoration: none;" id="isPasted">&#x2696;&#xFE0F; pH Levels: The Key to Nutrient Uptake</h2>After mixing, always check and adjust the pH of your solution. For the vegetative stage, aim for:<ul data-start="3471" data-end="3535" style=" text-decoration: none;"><li data-start="3471" data-end="3508">Coco or Hydro: pH 5.8&#x2013;6.0</li><li data-start="3509" data-end="3535">Soil: pH 6.0&#x2013;6.3</li></ul>Use a reliable pH pen such as the AC Infinity All-in-One pH Pen for accurate readings. &#x1F449; <a data-start="3633" data-end="3737" rel="noopener" target="_new">Learn about pH &amp; Water Quality &#x2192;</a><h2 data-start="3537" data-end="3737" id="-watering-through-growth-stages">&#x1F4A7; Watering Through Growth Stages</h2>Seedlings: Keep soil or coco moist but not soaked. Avoid heavy watering to protect delicate roots.Week 3 (Vegetative): Increase water volume until you achieve ~20% runoff, which helps prevent nutrient buildup and ensures balanced root-zone saturation.<hr><h2 data-start="3903" data-end="4066" id="-transitioning-to-flowering-with-clyde">&#x1F338; Transitioning to Flowering with Clyde</h2>As your plants transition from vegetative to flowering, it&#x2019;s time to introduce Clyde &#x2014; the bloom counterpart to Bonnie.Before switching:<ul data-start="4284" data-end="4408" style=" text-decoration: none;"><li data-start="4284" data-end="4408">You can optionally flush your medium to clear out vegetative nutrients (not required but helps reset the root zone).</li></ul>Week 1 Flower Example (5-Gallon Batch):<table style="text-decoration: none; width: 100%;" id="isPasted"><thead><tr><th style="text-align: center;">Product</th><th style="text-align: center;">mL per Gallon</th><th style="text-align: center;">Total for 5 Gallons</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;">CalMag</td><td style="text-align: center;">4 mL</td><td style="text-align: center;">20 mL</td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: center;">Clyde</td><td style="text-align: center;">9 mL</td><td style="text-align: center;">45 mL</td></tr></tbody></table></div> Mixing Order: 1&#xFE0F;&#x20E3; Add CalMag first, then Clyde. 2&#xFE0F;&#x20E3; Stir thoroughly after each addition. 3&#xFE0F;&#x20E3; Recheck pH &#x2014; keep between 5.8&#x2013;6.2.<hr data-start="4772" data-end="4775" style=" text-decoration: none;"><h2 id="-final-tips-for-autoflower-success">&#x1F33E; Final Tips for Autoflower Success</h2>&#x2705;&#xA0;Alternate watering:&#xA0;Feed with nutrients, then plain water next time. &#x2705;&#xA0;Storage:&#xA0;Mixed solutions stay stable for up to&#xA0;10&#x2013;14 days&#xA0;&#x2014; stir and check pH before reuse. &#x2705;&#xA0;Mixing Order:&#xA0;Always add CalMag before other nutrients (especially with RO water). &#x2705;&#xA0;Follow your feed chart:&#xA0;Overfeeding can harm autoflowers more easily than photos. &#x2705;&#xA0;Record results:&#xA0;Tracking feed amounts and pH helps fine-tune future grows.<hr><h2 id="-related-grower-resources">&#x1F9E9; Related Grower Resources</h2><ul data-start="5330" data-end="5748" style=" text-decoration: none;" id="isPasted"><li data-start="5330" data-end="5423">&#x1F4CA; <a data-start="5335" data-end="5421" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HaYvjLSGfgbqmJee-ODiblIJHpgRHl1c/view">Feeding Charts &#x2192;</a></li><li data-start="5424" data-end="5525">&#x1F4A7; <a data-start="5429" data-end="5523" href="https://growers.cronknutrients.com/en-US/cronk-nutrients-sds-sheets-2588736">SDS &amp; Safety Docs &#x2192;</a></li><li data-start="5526" data-end="5638">&#x1F33F; <a data-start="5531" data-end="5636" href="https://www.cronknutrients.com/collections/kits/products/bonnie-clyde-autoflower-nutrients-base-kit?variant=47700566671671">Bonnie &amp; Clyde Product Page &#x2192;</a></li></ul><hr><h2 data-start="5755" data-end="5783" style=" text-decoration: none;" id="isPasted">&#x1F4EC;&#xA0;Still Need Help?</h2>Reach out to our Grow Support Team at&#xA0;<a data-start="5822" data-end="5879" rel="noopener">help@cronknutrients.com</a> <script type="application/ld+json">
