I have seen people promoting 18/6, 20/4 or 24/0... what does the breeder of the seed say about the best lighting for the particular strain or strains you're growing or planning to grow..? and I know fuck all about feeding Autos as out of 30 Himalaya blue diesels I found some that were really hungry, some that didn't like being fed much and others that like it the same as the other regular strains I was growing... again consulting the breeder about the feeding of the plant wouldn't be a bad idea... and doing a search of autoflower on here should provide you with other peoples threads and experience with Autos...

Hi All, first off I wanna start by saying that I've done my FAIR share of research on this website (and might I say, this website has a whole load of quality info and im happy to be a part of the community now!! ) and I finally decided that I would like to post and keep this updated about my future grows. So first off I would like to tell you guys what I've recently ordered picked up quite a few strains. Im using an emily's garden hydroponic system 2 of them with 6 slots in each (12 plants total) in a 4x4x 6.5ft high mylar coated tent. I would like to hear of any successes or fails and what to avoid or what you recommend doing with the emilys garden, I did pick up the wicks too even though I purchased a new model. Im running a 600 watt mh bulb all the way through on the autoflowers 24/7, EXCEPT, im planning using a 32watt cfl that says its equivalent to a 150w, now that might not be true but oh well. I wanna use the 32watt until they are about 2 weeks in and then switch to the mh. I tried 2 of them before without using flourescent, lets just say LOL bad idea. I have kangaroots by bushdoctor, not really sure how that works, i have 2 that are about a week old it says mix X amount per gallon, so should I just mix about half of what it says too since they are seedlings into a 1 gallon water bucket and stabalize the ph and just use that to water it until it is big enough to put in the emilys garden ? which brings me to my next question, when do you transplant the rockwool cubes into the emilys garden? after two weeks? I am currently trying 1 lowryder #2 x ak47 autofem, and 1 blue himalayan autofem as well. I don't want to really mess up and learn on a couple first before I just try them all and fail miserably. I currently have, g13 ww fem-g13 blue venom fem- flash speedy ganja autofem- blue himalayan autofem- lowryder easyryder autofem- dinafem amnesia fem- & sweet seeds fast bud autofem . Let me know if you have experience with any of these and how the potency and yield was, and also which is the easiest to grow and most forgiving for a beginner. The only reason I am posting this thread is because I have always wanted to post on here and get opinions and advice. I just really dont understand the following to sum it all up.
-At what point should I add nutrients to my autoflowering strains, 2 weeks? 3 weeks? and if so how should I do that if its not in the emily's garden by then? only the rockwool cubes.... just add it to the water and water like normal?
-What of the strains that I have do you believe to be the highest quality and I get bad anxiety when I smoke , so which strain should I keep to help my anxiety/ at least wont cause it.
-When should I switch my fluoro's to mh? I also have a 600watt hps bulb as well.
-When should I switch to bloom nutrients, from what ive researched with auto strains I believe week 3 it should be switched... but that really doesnt make sense cause am I not supposed to use veg nutes..
- Is 45% humidity ok during veg, during seedling im keeping them at 60% in a covered tray with a three inch top, then switching them to a 7 inch top tray for a week or two and then to the emily's garden, with a temperature around 80 degrees, and a ph of about 6.5, does that sound about right?
-How to use the kangaroots, if i still have them in rockwool to stimulate root growth.
-Given the above information is it fair to expect about an ounce to an ounce and a half per plant? which one of the autos I have have you grown/ how much dry yield?
Thanks for all of your help, im really excited to be a part of this forum and be able to get the no brainer help that seems to be complicated to me lol. Im probably just overthinking everything but I really am a perfectionist and would like to get this right this time, as last time I FRIED them . Most important thing I need to know is the transplanting to the garden and when to switch the small rockwool into the large and how to put the wick in. Just anything you can think of to help. Im hoping this will be helpful to others around the net that are beginners that are afraid of asking the simple questions. No intention of thread jacking, just trying to help me and you at the same time in one forum. hope this gets some answers and covers everything.

I would seriously suggest finding a way contacting the breeder and finding out from them... Cause they really didn't put out much info about it... if you mean the Top 69 from advanced seeds...
