fast and vast 19 days and starting to flower!

hi guys, I have 6 vast and fast, 2x 2 vast and vast and 2 purples in 10 litre pots, clay pebbles, 6 inch fan and filter, 5ftx5ftx6ft tent, Wilma hydro system. 18/6 light from 600 watt hps bulb, they are 19 days old and just starting to flower. my ppm is 1100 and ph 5.8. I`m thinking give them another couple of days and then clean the tank and start bloom nutes. any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

I don't know anything about hydro. But you want to try to keep them in veg as long as possible. The only thing you can do to control that is the nutes. Autos have to get as much as they can for the first few weeks. I and others who have had issues with yield most of the time is from rough starts. Autos don't recover. Once you mess them first weeks up you can easily chop your yield in half

Wait til ACTUAL flower time kicks in .... Let them eat veg nutes during TRANSITION week...... THEN when flowering you can change over to bloom.

Hi, so in soil, and during veg, at what day do you start using nutes, and what nutes do you use during veg for the autoflowers? TY

Hi, I used grow nutes straight away only 1/4 strength though then build up as they get bigger. I use ionic nutes but there are a lot better out there.

I lost one to stem rot (schoolboy error) and I think I've started bloom nutes a few days too soon but I'm committed now so we'll see what happens. They're looking healthy and a good 16 inches tall.
