What is an organic way of rapidly developing roots of seedling? Also, what is the difference in nutrient schedule for autos versus photos using GH Hydroponics Flora Trio? Is the Lucas formula going to work for autos?

Hey there so the organic rooting, you can use aloe Vera. Just take a cutting and spread the goo at the tip of a clone clipping or skin the aloe and puree with water to make a smoothie and apply to the whole root zone.Power Organics Mycorrhizal Root Booster is a good prebottled organic booster, if you prefer that way. As for nutrient schedules you can choose any you like and they should work perfectly, its not so much the schedule as the dosage that's important. You should be able to do the desired schedule but begin at 1/4 strength, then increasing to half(or more) based on need or desire. If you aren't already, adding a cup/bottle on top as a homemade humidity dome would help the plants warmth a RH which is so good at this stage. Best of luck. Happy growing.

Hi there! I just wanted to add my two cents regarding nutrients for autos vs photos. I was way overfeeding my autos when I first started because I was reading everyone was using a nutrient mix of over 1000ppms, some even getting up to 1700ppms later in the plant life. Well, it took me a few nutrient burns to do a little more digging and finding out that autos are much more sensitive to nutrient levels than photos!!! Now, I never really bring my autos above 700ppm. To be honest, I mostly stay under 600ppms. What I have found to be the most effective way to mix my nutrients now is to follow the ratios provided by the nutrient company, and then water it down to get to the desired PPM. Another thing I've been doing on my last grows is to give it two doses of this lighter nutrient batch a week. I haven't had any issues with nutrient burn as long as I stay below 575 when I'm giving them more nutrients. I will stress, however, that I usually wait until my PPMs fall around or below 100ppm before feeding again. Overall though, autos definitely seem more sensitive to high PPMs.

Hi Phosphorus and potassium are the two main nutrients that support root growth in plants. Specifically, they encourage plants to put down a dense collection of new roots and strengthen existing roots as they develop. This means that fertilizers high in phosphorus and potassium are especially helpful during the active growing season. But before you dose your garden with these nutrients, keep in mind that phosphorus also stimulates flower and fruit production -- a bonus if you're hoping for a colorful garden. I’d also consider a high humidity environment in their early stages as young plants and seedling in veg thrive of this. 60-70% RH. A humidity dome can help or anything that can give a greenhouse effect. Hope this helps and good luck
