Red Dwarf

I'm in the middle of my 4th grow (4 photos have been budding for two weeks now), and have 4 Red Dwarf seeds I plan to run once the photos are drying/curing. I grow in coco in 4-gallon pots, use Blumats (I LOVE them), and use GH Flora series. This will be my first attempt at autos, but I'm ready to go for it. I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer:

1) I understand that these are small plants. How small is "small" with regard to Red Dwarf?

2) I understand that autos thrive with lower nutrient levels. Should I start them off at 1/4 strength, or 1/2, and should that strength level be continued for the entire grow?

I guess that's only a couple of questions, not "a few", but I may have more in time.

Thank you for any assistance. :)

1. I grew out the white dwarf and they got pretty huge even though they said they were dwarf. Mine grew about to about three foot.


2. They were just like any other plant i grew, just pay attention to the leaves they will tell you what they want. However start off slow then work your way up.

The smoke from the white dwarf was top notch, strong and potent. Wife said it is the best out of everything i grew. The harvest weight was above average. Good luck!!

Make sure you use cal-mag in coco, otherwise you will get calcium deficiencies. They start to look like brown dead spots on the leaves.

Yep, I always grow in coco and always use cal-mag. I guess I don't need to worry about growing autos, just don't over-do on nutes and keep an eye on them. Thanks for your reply.
