SanderanderSstarted grow question 3 years ago
Do autoflowers need more ore less nutrients then regular photo plants, and can the handle more light (DLI)?

Light intensity is the same, but I found that half strength nutrients was plenty strong enough for autos.
Never grow 24/0, all plants, cannabis included, NEED sleep to finish their photosynthesis cycle and for a correctly functioning metabolism.
A plant with an incorrectly functioning metaboilsm will never produce healthy cannabinoids.
24/0 could only be recommended by people who do not understand photosynthesis or how plants function.
18/6 is optimum for autos, from day one until harvest.

Depends on the cultivator. I noticed if there a first time cross it's basically a photo that just flips. But less light is smart because there's no 12/12 keep it higher than normal and start feed 1/4 of what it recommend and if you notice it needs more. Feed it accordingly. I hope this helps.

Hey buddy. Autos love more light. My advice is to run her on a 20-4 And 18-6 if you wanna change when stigma starts, (pre flowering). Autos need less NPK marco nutes. But because of the ruderails, depending on the strain it varies the % of RR. And RR needs lots of micro nutes. So a good micro will go a long way. 1/3 strenght after a few days and then play around with thr PPM getting there by way of grow or whatever you have at hand. Just dont get there using the same nute. Good luck.

Autos can withstand 24/7 light with no problems (all my grows are under 24/7 lights) ... not sure about the nutes since I don't grow photos but I DO know they don't like anything but water for the first week or two and then you need to start feeding them slowly - like 1/4 strength... Some autos, once they're really going, tolerate high levels of feed, others do not... you'll just need to let your plants "talk" to you.
Good luck!

Why is my plant growing extremely slowly?This is my first Propperty grow and the photo is after almost 4 weeks of growth, I’ve been giving nutes in reasonable doses and the first 2 and a half weeks was mostly cloudy and rainy but since then it’s been sunny, did the cloudy start affect it that much? And what should I do?

Water and nutrientsI water every other day. So far I have been using nutrients to bring my water up to the proper EC (ppm). It is always a VERY small amount (1/2 tsp). I haven't noticed any signs of toxicity but I wanted to hear your opinion of my approach and changes that I could/should make
