Yes, nutrients will be needed for proper growth. I would go with the FloraSeries by GHE, I personally use, it's easy to get and use and great on autoflowers when used at 1/4 strength, I actually use Cal-Mag, FloraMicro, and FloraBloom on all my grows, found out the FloraGro isn't needed since the FloraMicro has enough nitrogen for the plant during veg, so I never use it. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
