I've never grown autos, always photoperiods, so take this with a grain of salt. I did just order some autos and will be trying them for the first time in a couple of weeks when they get here, hopefully this same process will work. With my photoperiod plants I average 6 oz's dried and cured per plant with a harvest 16-18 weeks from seed with indica dominant breeds with 4 plants in a 4x4 tent under a 400W hps with 2 90W ufos.
I use Fox Farms Ocean Forest and perlite. Sprout the seed in the soil, it's not too "hot" as some would say. At 2 1/2- 3 weeks old I start supplementing with Fox Farms Grow Big and molasses and a trace amount of epsom salt once a week which works out to every other watering. 1.5tsp Grow Big, 2tsp molasses and 1/2 tsp epsom salts per gallon of water. The epsom salt I use about every 2 weeks. I continue Grow Big for about 2 weeks after switching to 12/12 until I see the flowers starting to take off well, they need those nutes during the initial stretch in my opinion. Then I switch to Fox Farms Tiger Bloom 3tsp per gallon of water every other watering, so about once a week. 1/2 tsp molasses and a 1/4 tsp of epsom salt every other fertilizing session, so about every 2 weeks for the first month of feeding with tiger bloom. Then I keep using just Tiger Bloom until about 3 weeks from harvest. Never flush since this isn't a toilet, taste is always great.
I realize I will have to adjust this with the new autos I will be trying, supposedly the Candy Kush is ready only 65 days from seed, we will see. It will be an interesting first grow of autos for me. The autos I will be trying are Auto Seeds Candy Kush and Bomb Seeds THC Bomb.
It will be doubly interesting since I am going to be trying pure led lighting for the first time. I just got a 276W led to try out in a 2x4 tent for these autos.
