Autoflowering

Quick question..
are nutrients required when planting an autoflowering seed in promix?
is 400 hps too strong for 4 or 5 autoflowering plants?
and lastly are autoflowering seeds typically "less work or easier" than non autoflowering plants?
i ask because hopefully autoflowering plants will be good for a newb like myself.

Promixs are simply potting soil. Even though without nutrients your plant will not die, nutrients help a lot.

I am not even going to get into an HPS war...someone else can answer this for you.

The autoflower test I am doing right now seems tougher than a non-autoflowering strain. They are not a "plant and go" strain. They are very sensitive compared to other strains I have experience with.

400 HPS will be fine for that amount of plants and typically the only thing easier about autos is you dont have to worry about you dont have to stress light cycles too much. Other than that it is growing weed just like any seed.
