First time growing ever, I ordered a Mars Hydro Kit with LED TS 1000 light. I ordered a supermix Autoflower seed pack from ilgm.com. wondering what type of nutrients you guys recommend? I'm open to absolutely being schooled and taught. I am eager to learn any and everything I can

@Aquemini yeah I ended up ordering Fox Farm Trio Liquid Soil pack. From what I've read, and read, and read some more lol, I should see amazing results with just the 3 bottles of fox farm I ordered. Someone told me with the soil I picked, I won't really need to start using any of the nutes til week 4-5. The tiger bloom I believe is what I should use when in flowering stage and big bloom I wanna say is what I should use throughout the entire grow. I was thinking I'll only use 1/4 of the recommended amount and 1/2 once it's in the flowering stage. Does that sound right to y'all? It's tiger bloom, big bloom, and grow big in the trio pack and the grow big I was told I would use in the veg state if I was growing regular plants, but because I'm using autoflowering seeds, I only need the big bloom throughout the veg and flower stage, and the tiger bloom throughout the flowering stage correct?

You can grow in Coco Coir which is coconut husk. It acts as an in between hydroponics and soil. It's the best for an indoor grow because it doesn't attract bugs. Also, you can have a 99.9% successful germination, if you use rockwool (first soak it in distilled water and correct the pH and then let it drain water out over a kitchen towel) and soak your seeds between 24-72 hrs. When you see the seed shells have white tails, use tweezers to sow inside rockwool cube and lightly cover the hole with coco coir. Keep the cube inside a tray with a lid (needs a hole for air) to keep them damp. Put this tray near a windowsill or straight into your indoor grow room. Set up a 36watt CFL light at 2 inches above the rockwool and don't let the temperature get to or exceed 25°C (77°F), it can be 15-22°C. When the plant's roots begin to show under the cube, it's time to pot the seedling.

Easiest nutes in the world - RQS organic range. Check my current RQS grow and thank me in 3 months... RQS Easy Boost organic dry nutrients - just mix in the soil and you've got 12 weeks of nutrients ready to go with a virtually zero chance of hurting the plants. RQS Mychoriizae RQS Rhizobacter RQS veg & bloom booster BioBizz algamic Good luck and have fun. If you go with the above it will feel like cheating - all you need to do is dial in your environment and add water. An automatic humidifier with a % setting is definitely a good purchase and make sure you have a little fan for air movement.

@ChitownCannaChica, can you recommend a specific brand maybe? Is it something I can get at Wal-Mart or do I need to order online?

Use really good soil and don’t feed too much! It’s easy to roast an auto by feeding it a photo feed schedule. Also buy a ph meter—- it’s critical.

@Aquemini, thanks for the input. I'm hopping on that site too. I'm trying to gain any bits of advice I can. It should be fairly easy I'm told cuz they're all autoflowering seeds that I ordered, but I'm using it medicinally honestly so I want the best results I can get out of my grows. I can't wait to start. Something Ive always wanted to do, and now it's finally completely legal in Massachusetts.

For Synthetic Bottled Nutrients I am really liking General Hydroponics Floranova for my DWC hydro buckets. For Organic soil and something super easy check out Gaia Green or Earth Dust. I'm using Earth Dust and its extremely easy to use. Gaia Green is the same thing but better mixing of stuff. If you go organic look at the videos by The Green Sunshine company for earth dust, and they explain everything. ( Gaia Green is the same methods and steps, you just have to add worm castings to Gaia Green )
