second grow newbie question

Hello people,

Staring a new grow in a couple of days and have a few questions cause I don't want to make same mistakes again.

1. My plants start to get yellow in about 6th week of flower and they flower 10-11 weeks. They start to get yellow a little bit too early. The yellow starts on fan leafs on the top and goes to the middle of the plant continuing on the smaller leaves. I think it's a deficiency of something. Do you think what could it be?

2. Autoflowering, had one in the last grow. I've topped it only once as I would top fotoperiod plants. Can I top autoflowering strains or I must be extra careful and do it in another way or another period, earlier or later? I'm about to do 20 autoflowering plants this next grow.

3. Advanced nutrients... nutrients. I'm using grow, micro and bloom together from start to end. On the online calculator it says I should give 1:1:1 (grow:micro:bloom) through the whole life phase, vegetation period and flowering period until the last 10 days of their life. Is it normal to give same quantity of grow and bloom nutrients in vegetation and flowering phase?

4. The last autoflowering plant I did was in 30 liter (7.9 gallon) pot. Is 11 liters (2.9 gallon) enough / too much / too little pot size for an autoflowering plant?

And no... I do not have photos. I know...

Thank you very much!

Don't top autos their life cycle is already short and topping sets the plants back a few days.

Most time when switching flower you're going to need to back off the growth nutes and focus more on bloom nutes for flower.

Start your seedling in a party cup then transplant to it's final home. Autos are nearly unforgivable when it comes to mistakes. Good luck and happy growing.

1 sounds like n deficiency

2 probably should not top auto's

3 most strains need to swing from veg to flower nutes , check the strain section for information on your piticular strain

4 the smaller pot should be good

5 I ain't no expert, and I don't grow autos so my advice is suspect at best

Do not top..........if possible start seed in large pot, so U dont risk upsetting the roots , .............11Lt pot is enough preferbably a smart or airpot.........your nutes are ok..........LST works very well............good luck
