Question about Nutrients with Autoflower Strains

Should I follow the same nute schedule on the feeding schedule, or does the strain being an AutoFlower make anything different? Do AutoFlower take in nutrients differently than normal plants? I am using the Fox Farms feeding schedule for Soil. Any experienced advice would be much appreciated.

I am experimenting with autos as we speak and what I have learned is when I go over 1/3 strength of whats recommended, I start to burn it a little.

Seems the less I do for an auto, the better she feels.

Hello with autos you have to be careful as they are more nute sensetive. It all depends on all the growing factors combined. Soil, hydro, temps, what brand nutes, and mostly the strain your growin. Ive been growing autos for a few years and like soil the most. Start low around 1/4 strength and see from there on how your plants respond. The less is more saying is so very true when growing autos. Be careful and treat them right and youll love them. Send more info on your grow specifics and im more than happy to share what i know. I am no self proclaimed expert but have been into autos for longer than most and will help if i can and if i cant ill ask a friend in holland who will but will never give out crap answers to fullfill needs of my ego to be the best.
 
nice, I Feel much more confident now about using fox farms. Since there are more weeks on the fox farm feeding schedule than it takes to grow an autoflower how do you go about modifying the schedule to fit the autoflowers needs? or do you just follow the schedule up until it needs to be flushed and not even worry about the nutes it says to use in weeks 9 through 12?

Hey Shlubadub, I like your name. I know someone irl named that, maybe youre him. lol.

Anyway, just wanted to rep ya cause I was looking for the same. exact. thing.
I was handed a FF schedule by my friendly local hydropnics store clerk and was a little hesitant on asking too many questions, especially concerning "plants that mature in 8 weeks". So yeah, still waiting to find out how to work around the schedule...gotta bump it up.
