Autoflowers

Hey all, a few questions about fertilizers for autoflowers. So since they start budding really quick i was thinking i should use Kangaroots by Fox Farms as a seedling until i see buds (?) then when i see buds ill switch to Beastie Blooms and Cha ching by fox farms until about a week prior to harvest then ill use sledgehammer by fox farms. How does this sound guys? This is my first grow by the way.

sounds like the fox farm feeding chart to me, seems solid. What about veg nutrients like grow big? You can't just rely solely on root drench for ample supply of nutrients, Kangaroots is primarily used as a root inoculant.

What do you mean by a root inoculant? Its an autoflower so how long is there veg state? like 10 or so days? and i will get grow big but for how long do i use it on autos?

personally , I dont use "grow" nutes on my autos. I dont use ferts till they are 2 - 3 weeks old,then only 1/2 strength flower nutes to start. The growing medium has enough nutes for the first couple of weeks.

happy growing

does seem a bit slow, but have had some like that. Had a supercheese that only had 4 sets at 2 weeks but in week 3 and 4 they tripled the size, ended up with 2 dried oz off the plant .. not too shabby for 68 days.

i use fox farms, tiger bloom, big bloom, and grow big. it came with feeding instructions but i only do half of wat it tells me an i only water small amount at a time maybe a cup every 3 to 4 days since seed has poked out at me. but there is no holes in this 1liter bucket so i have to be careful with the watering for this youngster.
do you think it best for me to poke few holes in it to drain water or will it be ok as long as i watch my watering?

Well I would suggest drain holes ... you run the risk of salt buildup and drying out among other things if you dont.

whats the best auto flowering strain that loves heat? my box gets almost 90 at all times
Cant help you there .. don't know of any that will prosper at that temp, unless you use Co2 or something like that .. I found that mine grew best between 68F and 75F. sounds like you need to look at your cooling...

happy growing

the lowest i can get it is 81 with my setup and thats with my ballast on 50% power all night and i have a big fan pullin out right behind the light which is on a wing reflector and the only way i see to cool it more is to buy a cool tube or a/c which i dont have the cash right now sad but true

Okay btw guys im doing an outdoor grow..so do i still need no nutes?
Probably. You growing in pots or in the ground? What kind of dirt?

I grow autos in pots in FFOF. I don't add any nutes for about a month. And, I only need to add Grow Big about one time. Thereafter, I will add Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom maybe twice.
