Nutrients with autos - how soon?

[charliboo]

Hi guys, I've just potted a couple of seeds after germinating them using the paper towel method. An Afghan Kush Ryder and a Pakistan Ryder. They're in seedling pots right now under a 125w blue CFL. They were potted a day ago, I watered the soil before planting the seeds, and have since moistened the soil 1 time with a spray mister. Here's my question, I have some Bio Grow and Bio Buzz but I'm not sure if there's any need for these as I'm using John Innes soil. John Innes seedling compost for them while they're in seedling pots and John Innes No. 2 for when they're repotted into the bigger 11ltr pots. Should I be giving them any BB Grow at this stage? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me. Has anyone had any experience with these strains?

im growing a pakistan ryder on its 43rd day. i started using nutes shortly after they showed sex which is usually around day 16-20... only use around 1/4 strength to start and work your way up as soon as you see how your plant responds

Thanks man, I've heard a few people saying nutes aren't required for autos with John Innes soil, but at the same time I've seen diaries where they were used and the results looked pretty good to me.

How's your ryder looking? How tall has she gotten by 43 days?

here is the most recent pic i took of her 3 days ago so around day 41 in this pic. i got mine in fox farms ocean forest which people say you dont need nutes for the first four weeks as well, but i used em and started off lightly(1/4 strength) and worked my way up to thier(foxfarms nutes) feeding schedule recommendations and i have had no problems at all.... good luck with your grow

I also usually wait til flower to put much on'em.....also I have found that most autos grow best when they're allow to dry a little further while seedlings....when you see a burst of growth at around 2 weeks...they're getting ready to sex....not any reason to nute a male unless it's breeding stock......

me do 2 weeks just water then go to 1/4 strenth food water mix and start to work up slowly to 1/2 strenth i mak at 1/2 strenth never over

i feed every other watering they like root stemulator and light --hate transplant ,full nutes and 12 /12 light schedule

i normally use veg food til i see flowers start to form will show sex at about 3 weeks old will finish between week 8 and 10 but go by trichs not calender

keep em green
