Best nutrient for autos?

hey all

i have been browsing here for a while in preparation for my first autoflower grow(have grown regular strains for a while), and some of them are just about to start flowering, so its time to go to the hydroponics store and decide on which nutrients to pick up. i usually use the regular pure blend bloom for my non autos, but i actually ran out of that last season, so its time to decide on a new nutrient, and especially cause i never really see it mentioned for autoflowers.

the soil is foxfarm soil, so i was thinking of going with some of the foxfarm nutrients, but, i am not too sure on which of the foxfarm would be best for autos, or would something else be better? i have heard a lot of good stuff about bio bizz, but the local store doesnt carry it(and being completely organic is not a big factor to me at all)

anyways, all the help on which nutrients to go with and, how much to use with it would be greatly appreciated!!

thanks in advance

EDIT: forgot to mention its for outdoors if that makes a difference

I'm just starting my shortrider autoflowers and I'm using FF soil aswell. I picked up some fish emulsion from home depot for the few weeks of veg that I have and then I'm probably going to switch to FF big bloom or tiger bloom maybe both.. I'm interested to see what some people have used with autoflowers aswell or suggestions they might have, so I'll be keeping an eye on this post.

I would just go with the fox farms nutes, seems to be good stuff from what I've read. If you go on there site they have a feeding schedule that you can download. Thats probably what I'm going to do, good luck!

where do you get the fox farm brand stuff? can you get this stuff at home depot? I have an agway, which supplies famers and stuff like that... i have a home depot and a few green houses near me but that is about it. i am looking for the best ideas to grow my Purple Ryder seeds... I figured on starting them in one of the little burpee seed starter green houses and then either planing them outside or building a window box outside on the side of the building...

They carry it at a hydro store near me, other than that online if you cant find it anywhere around you. If you go on foxfarms site they have a thing where you can find the closest place that sells it. They do sell fish emulsion "high in N" for veg 8 dollars at home depot, and they sell scotts plant food for flowering I was told it was like $4... I havent personally used the scotts but the fish emulsion smells really bad but works, you have been warned lol..

Hello I was looking for a new fertilizer for veg and bloom I was previously using mg all purpose, but now I'm looking for something more effective I need something cheap (can't cost more than $15 for both veg and bloom) and something that I could find at Wal-mart or local home depot. By the way sixers are the best!

LoL.. Why would you say there not worth putting money into? I've heard mixed reviews on MG and personally I would rather spend the extra couple of dollars on something thats tried and true.. Specially from a newbs point of view!! I do understand there's cheaper more effective stuff out there but damn, hating on ff and autoflowers lol.. You sound like you need a bowl sir!

There's not much I found at home depot, fish emulsion and that scotts plant food for flowering I was talking about above. A member on here had good luck with it so it might be worth a try!

If you go to the Fox Farm website you can put your zip code in and it will give you a list of vendors that sell it in your area. If there isn't anywhere close, you can order it online. I got a good deal on some Botanicare nutes on ebay. The soil on the other hand, isn't really practical to order online since the shipping will actually cost more than the soil.
