Hello fellow smokers and growers,

I am kind of new to the whole growing thing (was growing regular white widow plant fine until some a hole neighbor killed it), I just received some seeds i had ordered from attitude and had a question regarding the feeding schedule since auto do not last as long as regular ones.

So far i have done some research and came up with such feeding schedule:

Strains : Multiple (female seeds outdoor grapefruit, northern lights auto, 60 day lemon auto, think different auto)
Soil : Fox Farm Ocean Forest
Schedule :

week 1 : ph water only
week 1.5 big bloom 1/2 tea spoon
week 2 : 1/2tsp grow big 1/2 tsp big bloom
week 2.5 3/4 tsp of grow big
week 3 : 1tsp of grow big 1/2 tsp of tiger bloom 1/2 tsp of big bloom
week 3.5 : 1/2 tsp of grow big 1/2 tsp of tiger bloom
week 4 : 1tsp tiger bloom 1/2 tsp grow big
week 4.5 : clean ph water to clear out salt build up
week 5 : 2tsp tiger bloom 1/2 grow big
week 5.5 : 1 tsp of grow big

Does this seem legit or do i need to edit ?
I am also going to start them in a cup to germinate then move to a 2.5 or 3g pot and place outdoors.

Thank you in advance for any comments or suggestions.

feed veg nutes for the first month then switch to bloom. Don't go by a set schedule respond to the needs of your plant

Hey try this schedule for feeding. NO NUTRIENTS/SUPPLEMENTS until atleast week 7. Fox Farms Ocean Forest potting soil is perfect for AF plants because the soil will stay hot for about 6 weeks! I cannot over stress this point. Through trial and error I have found that if you feed your plants before week 6 (in FFOF soil) they will burn VERY easily.

5) At the beginning of week 6 I give them a half dose of grow big.

6) At the beginning of week 7 I give them a quarter dose of Tiger Bloom, full dose of Big Bloom and 1 tblsp of blackstrap molasses

7) At week 8 - Half dose tiger bloom, full dose Big Bloom, 1 tblsp BSM

8) At week 9 - 2 TBLS BSM

9) At week 10 - FLUSH FLUSH FLUSH!

10) Two days before harvest, I shut the lights off and lock the cabinets for 2 days.

11) REAP YOUR REWARDS! AF strains can be VERY VERY potent if grown correctly. They can also end up being pure shit if neglected.

Yea, I seen this around but never really thought of it. I wish i would have came here first after buying brand new fox farm trio food :x ill give this a try and if it needs to be fed then ill let the plant tell me. Never used blackstrap but did a quick google search and it seems to help with yield? mix it with every thing else and feed to soil?

Thanks for the advise

Your plant is the best teacher, learn to read it, I'm sure there are all kinds of feeding schedule but only your plant knows what's best.

Watch for tip burn (too many ferts)
Red or purple stems (mag deficiency)
light green leaves (not enough N)

Plants will need more ferts as they get later into bud. I double the amount of ferts I use the last 4 or 5 weeks, but easing off if there is any tip burn.

keep in mind autos are light feeders,i never go above 300ppm.i feed my autos 250ppm and there growing and budding like crazy.dont burn the autos by going over 300 ppm,but if you do get back with me and let me know how it works out for you. by looking at your auto feed your allreadt to hot.mix all that up n use your ppm meter,you may need to dilute mixture,to reach 250 ppm,if you so desire.good luck man
