Hello beautiful community. Help a newb in need of medicine?

So i am starting my first grow in a corn field behind my house. I suffer from anxiety and depression on a daily basis and simply don't have the money to buy pot right now (too busy paying court fines for marijuana offenses, big fucking suprise right?). At any rate, thankfully it is a plant and i am human and humans were meant to grow.

My grow:
I took the liberty of ordering some ONYX autoflowering seeds from attitude seed bank (amazing service) and have gotten 5 to germinate (visible root) and one never shot one out. Today after 3 days of germination, I dug about a 9 inch trench into the black, hearty illinois soil and poured in about 4/5 of a bag of original Fox Farm. I placed my seeds (all 6) about 3-4 inches apart. The forecast shows rain for the next several days so I am not worried about watering but I came to you fellows to ask what nutrients would be ideal for this grow (and somewhat on a budget). My local grow store has almost every nute imaginable, but I am just wondering what I should be feeding these babys to ensure a hearty and thick harvest. Thank you guys so much and I will appreciate every word you offer!

Other info:

-I chose autoflower simply due to its time period until harvest and completely understand i will see stunted growth and a lower quality of nugs, but I just really need weed soon :/

-All surrounding corn has been cleared so that the plants will receive adequate sunlight.

-Any other tips on what I should do to the plants (animal fence, stakes, etc..)?

Will post pics as soon as my lovely babies sprout, and I have an excellent DSLR camera for such a thing:lol:

Worm castings for nutrients man 100% organic and wont burn plants plus their full of micro creatures that help out against pests and diseases you shouldnt really have to worry about animals and what not but keep an eye out for wild life just in case
 
Sorry if i sound like a little bitch for saying this, but could you give me like the product title so i can walk in looking for the label? i just feel like a total dumbass with this stuff and everytime I go in the poor guy with his struggling store tries to sell me $300 worth of chemicals and lights. Id like to stay with fox farm if they have worm casting nutes but I will do whatever is best for the plants. Is it a liquid nutrient that you would apply daily? what is all this flushing and pH business, do I really need to monitor these things like chemo patients?

edit: if the product title is "worm casting" then i apologize again for being the dumbass in the room
 
Sounds like you've got your shit pretty covered, good luck, I am in the same position as you, just germed 3 seeds and chucked em in pots... we shall see what happens :D

Ok listen. The Macronutrients are Nitrogen potassium and phosphorus which are the 3 main nutes. Then there are secondary nutrients which are: calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S). and lastly there are Micronutrients such as:boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), chloride (Cl), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn). They are from the Elements table. Make sure whatever you are using consists of all of these. NPK is npk no matter where it comes from. I prefer an organic nute myself. Better flavor and it isn't chemical.....good luck

I get Wiggle Worm Worm castings a 30lb. bag is $26 a 15lb bag is $14 at my store but any worm castings will be fine as long as it says 100% castings on the bag or you could get pound bags for like $2 but you can make castings tea and feed ya plants onces a month or just pour some around the plant. It feeds the soil and the soil feeds the plants
 
Well, we have babies. Such a warm feeling when the first time you see a lovely poking from the ground it already has its serrated angel wings. The only thing is, of the 6 i plants, 5 had roots already and only these two have come through the dirt at all. This is day 3 since the seeds were sown. It has been overcast since i planted them, drizzly all 3 days so i havent watered them or felt the need to. Also, no nutes have yet been bought or applied.:leaf:
