Should I use fertilizers for an Autoflowering?
Growkongstarted grow question 7y ago
Would you recommend to use fertilizers, although Royal Queen Seeds write on there website that Royal Gorilla Automatics don't really need those/ only a very few amount? And if so, which one would you recommend, that I would also find in a hardware store?

Sure, i'm running 5 of these right now, every auto need fertilizer. One easy to use fertilizer is Bio Bizz, organic product, not to much risk of over feeding.
If you are limited to a hardware store than any basic fertilizer similar to a NPK ratio of 20-10-20 will work.
You can also use soil feeding, for example RQS offers the soil fertilizer that you mix with soil and then use during the whole grow, running one Royal Gorilla with that right now and the plant does great 👌

Water level probe?I ordered an auto feed base kit from AC Infinity. It comes with built in water level indicators. Does anyone know where I can get a wireless probe to replace the standard indicator? I can check the levels remotely. Like a low high level indicator or a float? Thanks!Week 9

Leaves losing "color"/turning yellow-ish. (autopot without nutes)I've been using autopot system wihtout nutrients, plants now went to bloom.
Could the smallest of the bunch (NorthenLight left down corner) have some defiency?
As others are not "complaining", at least yet.
Should purchase nutes that work with my autopot, only biobizz left now.

Flush bottom feedI’m using an autopot (bottom feeding) system. They say not to flush because of the salt buildup. But is the “shock” of those salts bad or is it the salts staying in the bottom what is bad?
In that case if you thoroughly flush (say 50+L in 20L pots) would that solve the problem?Feeding. Automatic systems
