So I’ll be germinating some autos here soon and planting them in Royal Gold tupur mix. I have never done autos nor used coco.

I’d imagine I should water/feed more frequently then what soil requires? Has anyone on here used the tupur mix before?

Yes. Tupar is all i use. You should water it right away with 1/4 of what you will feed them. Coco can be watered (and should have nutes every watering) every day and multiple times at that. I like to go 2x a day if by hand watering. First 2 weeks just water every 4-5 days increasing nutes each time. Once 4-5 nodes and healthy, every day.

So you would water with 1/4th strength nutes before it sprouts or right after? From what I’ve read so far it says wait until 3rd set of leaves to feed.

I'm guessing he means before to prep the medium.
This is right. I water my tupar the night before i plant seed. I don't soak or paper towel method. Seed straight into coco. Feed with 2 ml cal mag and 1/4 of my full strenght nutes night before and plant seed next day. No domes, just lights about 36". 3 days later she is above dirt and 2 more days i give a 2nd feeding at 1/4. 5 days total inbetween those 2 waterings. 4-5 more days and she'll have 2 and starting 3rd nodes(on average don't quote me on each plant having different growth) i give 3rd total feedd at 2 ml cal mag and 1/2 strength nutes. 5 more days same cal mag and 3/4 strength and 4 nodes should be here. After 5 more days and its about 3 weeks total from breaking ground it usually has 5 nodes and from here i top if i want and feed/water every day and once flower starts ill get to 2x a day.

Ok awesome. This helps a lot. And when you say 1/4 strength. What I have recommends 2 tsp/gal light feeding and 4 tsp/gal for normal/heavy. Would I use 1/2 tsp or 1 tsp as my 1/4th dose. I’d imagine 1/2 tsp?

@MATTYMATT726 also, at the 3 week mark/5th node do you increase the calmag from 2ml/gal or does it stay at 2ml the whole time?
I feed 2 ml cal mag each watering whole grow. This is in coco with leds because they need more. Some feed a few big doses here and there throughout like 5 ml, but i like smaller amount continuously and i don't see deficiencies. Autos usually like lighter feeds than photos so start with the lighter feed and go with 1/4 of that. Once you get to full feed on the light chart if you need more you can always up her some.
