Do You Feed?

Going to grow couple more Jack Herer Autos. In 3 gallon, Fiber Pots with Happy Frog soil.

I think I have been messing up. I understood with Happy Frog no need to feed and my volume pays.

So I should feed, right?

Happy frog is milder, nute wise, than Ocean Forest and will need supplemental feedings, starting at about 2 weeks. So yes, you should be feeding.

Autos are so fast don't want to start feeding at one week?

The HF should have enough nutes for seedlings, but if you wanted you could feed from the begining, follow nute manufacturer instructions for seedlings. In any case, the one thing you don't want to do is stunt them. There's just not enough time for them to recover.

How well I know had couple I was messing with cut couple inches off the top, Super Cropped they look great but are stunted.

If I had not done this and fed them. Oh Man!

Autos tend to be more nute sensitive so I would wait till week two and start any nutes at 1/2 to 1/4 strength

Prob cutting the few inches off that did it but I've never HST'ed an auto

Got 3 Beans and 2X4 Tent. Got Clones in there.

Move the Clones out, switch Lights and see what I can do.

Well I done much more. They have nice Cola's just plant is small.

Next grow just bend them over, tie down and feed.

Click on the grow journal in my sig. I'm not an expert, but I have good results following the same steps each time. I wait until the 3rd week, then I do 1/2 strength. I'm currently using Humboldt Secret Starter Kit. Increase the dose very slightly each watering until you see a slight burn on the tips of the leaves. I would back off a little at that point. Starting off the seedlings under a 40-watt cfl up close will stop them from becoming too leggy. You can get a fairly even canopy without topping that way. It works most of the time. I let things get pretty dry before watering also. It's important to let oxygen get to the roots.

Good luck!

I think we are going with mostly Photos but I have 3 Beans Autos so going with them.

I know my Son but I have a good grow that is the way to go. He was Happy with Autos because I was having good Grows, then did a Photo Grow that was good. Oh this is the Variety.

I have two Girls different Variety. We shall see. One already has a nice Bud. Let them grow, look good and burn.
