if its a quick autoflowering strain your dont really need any nutrient to add to your RO water, if you are using a supersoil like FF or roots organic, that stuff is just packed with what the autoflower needs to get by, sure maybe half thru flower you can add some flowering nutrient, but on the real,allyou need is good PH REVERSE OSMOSIS water.
it would be diffrent if you where growing a reg seed with at least a 4 week veg, by the time your getting to flower the plant prob allready sucked upall the nutes in the soil, so then thats when your start adding nutrient. i suggest you make your own teas, keep it organic,or better yet learn how to put toghther your own soil, stimulate the bio activity in the soil, thats true organics!

i got biobizz nutes too... there ok-ish ... i find them far too strong and like i say 1/4 does of bloom is fine after 2nd week of flower....

erm usually do 3 at a time and then introduce another three a couple of weeks before the first are ready

i use 125w per plant .... heres a look at my (current) cabinet setup.... (just building my new cab 600w HPS)



this is the wet bud from 2 of my previous autos

if you want easy and good soil go with fox farms happy frog and mix it with 1/3 perlite. So 2 cups of soil to one cup perlite! good luck man happy growing

that looks pretty good , if u had to suggest another nute what would it be ?


Im kinda just getting the last few things together

I got the 200 watt cfl, 6500k n 2700 k should i use both of them while flowering or pick something else up,.. ?

i don't really know much about nutes as bio-bizz is all i have used ... so i don't feel i can advise anymore than that (bio-bizz is well strong and burns autos easy)

i am seriously considering a compost tea ... large water container 20ltr ish .... airstone a couple of scoops of compost and other bits ... bobs you're uncle

i use both 6500k & 2700k full time ... they like it :-)

im just going to go with bio bizz.. very recommended online..

i still need to get my bulb for flowering,,

i was thinking 150 watt hps over the 200 watt (2700k )

but heats an issue i cant really vent ,

u think that 150hps would produce to much heat? or am i better to stick with the other cfl and eventually add more..

thanks for the advice!!

Cheers
