Was looking into getting the FF Trio pack ( Big Grow , Big Bloom , Tiger Bloom ). Or should i just let them grow? Its organic soil with no nutrients added. But everywhere online say nutes are bad for autos.
Opinions ?

Autos need nutes just like non-autos. Because autos are self-flowering some people think they grow themselves.
They don't. My autos get regular full-strength nutes in the water daily. Autos grow fast. Think of it as a fast metabolism.
You have to keep feeding them.

All plants require nutrients to produce energy that's like asking if a fat person needs food.

Don't be cheap, buy the whole line. Lotts of good stuff you don't get with just the trio. Don't forget the sledge hammer, its a kick ass flush.

Im growing some autoflowers in an organic soil myself, but mine has nutrients already in it (1.2 0.3 0.05). I think there is enough nitrogen in my soil to last the whole grow so im going to just be top dressing with some high phosphorus bat guano during flowering (1-15-1).
Some strains of Autos are more sensitive to nutes then others but they all need nutrients. If your medium has no nutes then you should start feeding as soon as you start to see deficencies develop. start with a low dosage of nutes and work your way up to the stronger doses if your not seeing any burn. Dont feed every time you water but every second watering is recomended
