Anyone tried Light Warrior for autos?

I've been growing autos in Happy Frog mixed with about 30% coco for a while now.
Unfortunately my regular shop was out of stock so I was forced to go to the local agway.
Anyways, they had Happy Frog
But no coco.
I've found Happy Frog at full strength tends to burn the little ladies when they are young, plus it gets very hydrophobic without the coco.

Then I saw the light warrior.
I've heard good things about it, so I decided to buy a bag.

Thinking a 50/50 mix but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using light warrior for autos.

I'm thinking about doing a 1/3 mix for the bottom 2 thirds of the pot, then straight Light Warrior for the top third.

Any thoughts are appreciated!
Peace and love! ☺

I use almost the same as you happy frog with 30% perlite instead of coco and have been wanting to get more control on feedings and was gonna try a run in just the light warrior but it's expensive haha, if I was you I'd try two ways the first you described as layering and the second just completely mixing em together. I've personally thought the happy frog was a little light to begin with I start feeding around 8-10 days old never had burn unless I effed up my mix on accident, I'd like so see how warrior works for your little ones
Sorry I don't experience with it but this thread caught my attention!

Thanks for the reply man!
You start feeding 8-10 days after they pop ground?
And you're talking autos right?
I wonder if I've been way underfeeding.
What are you using for nutrients, and at what strength?

Yes I grow autos only and yes after they break ground.
Look up tangs auto schedule I use just his base nutes recommendations and screw with my own additives
I use advanced nutrients sensi a and b , voodoo juice, bud candy, and b-52 (if needed)
First feed- 1ml sensi a, 1 ml sensi b 1ml voodoo juice to 1 litre water
After about a week of 1ml to a liter I start bumping it up by .2 or .3 depending on what the plant says

So far so good! I planted three Humboldt dedoverde haze autos in it. They are in week 5 right now and looking extremely healthy! I started feeding them earlier than I normally do so hopefully they don't get burned. I'll try to put some pictures up tonight when I get home from work

Well here they are.
Never grown this Strain before so I'm not sure how big these ladies are supposed to get. Week 5 and they've had 4 light veg feedings and one 1/2 strength bloom feed tonight.
Possible nute burn on the bottom leaves, but having no experience with light warrior I'm not convinced they aren't hungry.
