Hello all,

So like i said its my first auto grow and my second in total. the first try wasnt so good but i learned alot. My baby [Royal Dwarf] is 5 days old from sprouting, using 10L pot with coco + soil mix, using 250w DualSperctrum HPS [18-6] and only Ph water right now.
my questions are :
I have BIOBIZZ root juice but idk if its the right time to start using it or should i wait?
I have SENSI GROW+BLOOM (A+B) and im not sure what it the right time to start feeding them in "grow nuts" and when should i switch the nuts from grow to bloom?

P.s - if you got any info or tips for auto grow ill be glad to hear :-P

thanks.

What soil mix is it? Autos hardly need any nutrients, especially in the veg state. Start bloom nutes after the buds have started to form for about a week. Are you contemplating topping, lsting, or my personal favorite: scrog? The benefits (especially in autos because of the naturally low yield) are immeasurable. I'm along for the ride! :beer::cool:

I wouldnt give any kinds of nutes for at least two weeks after sprout. It is very easy to burn auto flowers so start with 1/4 strength and work your way up from there. Autos are good for people just starting out but they are naturally low yielding plants but if you know what your doing your auto could look like thisphoto (3).jpg

This is a fruit automatic on day 54, still has another month to go but im guessing ill get around 4-5 oz from this single plants. I topped it once and started with a 2 gal bucket in DWC with 4 air stones. The extra oxygen made this baby blow up and also created a great amount of bud sites.

Autos are the best for low risk, high(er) traffic areas.

Heres a Northern at 5 weeks, Just starting to flower.

Autos are easy to grow, just remember, less is so much more,' with Nutes.
You ARE growing a weed after all, and it will GROW as long as you water and give it enough light.
The optimum amount of nutes will always exist, but its better to have
a healthy, green, thriving plant than to have one all burnt up because you
got an itchy trigger finger with the Nutes too early.

Stay ZEn bro
