One out of 17 of my auto showed it first pistil (week3 going into week 4) should I stop using grow NUTES now? Also should I change my light to 12/12?

You don't need to flip the light with auto flowers they will actually grow more if you keep them on an 18/6. And yeah if it have started to flower you can switch that one to flower nutrients

No, you can start to mix, keep veg nutes, but add 25% of bloom. Next week 50,75,100 on fourth, it will be 3 week of flower to them. And from next week reduce veg nutes by 25% each week. Math will say you use 125 of dose, but its most simple explanation how easy transition works By week 5-6 off flower - all nitrogen or veg nutes should be stopped. Happy Growing !!!

Hey sounds like your off to a great grow! I’d go ahead and switch from giving them Veg to bloom with Autos it seems like such a small time of them getting veg Nutes but it’s just the way it goes with autos. As far as light it’s a auto so she is gonna do what she wants to do regardless so a lot of deciding your light schedule for autos is personal preference some do 24hour on some 18/6 Me I do 20/4 hope this helps and good luck with your grow Fam! 💪💕

Most ppl run lights on 18/6 for flower. Give or take a few hours. 12/12 is for photoperiod plants I would continue normal feeds for another 10 days. Then a week or 50% additional bloom nutes then go full on bloom cycle nutes

You can cut back your grow nutes to 1/2 what you're giving now... and make the decision later whether you want to cut them out completely (the flowering stage will need SOME nitrogen but not a whole lot). I wouldn't switch to 12/12 until you actually have flowers which should probably be within a week if you've just reached pre-flower stage... Good luck and congrats!!
