In soil, I usually wait about the first two weeks without nutrients and just watering. When I do start nutrients, I usually start at 1/3 of the manufacturer’s recommended strength. Nutrients depend on your style and what works for you. Many of growers here use organic nutrients. Others use fox farm trio (works really well), advanced nutrients as such.. etc. Autos are very sensitive to mechanical and environmental stress. Such as: nute burn, cold, heat, etc. ph should be around 6.3-6.7. I’d like to see mine around lower end of 6.5. Cheers.

Hi @Kirva! Considering you're growing in soil, your medium is supposed to have enough nutrients for the 2 first weeks of your seedlings. A root-stimulator can be useful if you do not exceed the recommended doses. I've been using BioBizz for a while and had great results using the following schedule for autoflowering strains : http://www.420magazine.com/gallery/data/500/Untitled124.png. This schedule has been tested & approved with autos (by me + a few other friends). Another very good brand I'm currently experimenting is GreenBuzzLiquids, they also do liquid organic fertilizers and are very devoted to the community, the will help you until harvest! Whatever brand and schedule you choose, would you give us your feedback after a few weeks please? Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information. Happy growing 👊

You should give nutrients at 1/3 strength of manufacturer nutrient schedule at week 3 in veg. Soil has enough nutrients in it already for seedlings for the first 2 weeks of veg. Now for the brand depends on if you want organic(biobizz), expensive (advance nutrients), cheap(general hydroponics), or popular (foxfam). If used correctly they will all get you great results. Just make sure your nutrient can be used in soil and can be used for cannabis.

Go by what the plant tells you it wants. Feed/water at 5.8 to 6.2 ph. If there are no nutrients in your soil start feeding day 10 with 1/8 to 1/4 strength nutrients. If she reacts well by sending out some new growth increase the frequency of your feedings or increase the dose in 1/8 strength increments. I have rarely ever needed to use more than 1/2 strength nutrients during mid bloom. Use veg nute until 2nd week of the the first sign of bloom then switch to bloom nute 1/2 to 3/4 way through stretch. Hit then with extra PK 13/14 about mid bloom to add growth and bulk them up the last few weeks before harvest. Hope this helps.👍

Rich soil : feed after week 3 ! Poor soil ( light mix ) : feed on week 1. This strain is like every other strains : she'll need the right nutrient at the right time so when you 'll buy your nutrient line then use their schedule ( you can start with 1/4 the recommended dosage , if no issues occurs then go 1/2 until you go full strength.)

Under my opinion and my experience (not the best arround here), I can tell you that auto strains can be feeded from week 1. Every Auto i grown was feeded from day 5~7, and they really appreciate it. For autos i use a simple mix for all the plant cycle B.A.C. FastFood with B.A.C. AutoStimulator, you can complement it with additives too. About the P.H. as @MMJMD sayd i has to be under 6.5, I use to start in 5.8 the first week, and raise it bit week to week to reach 6.4 in flower time. Hope it helps, King regards!.
