I only have had experience running photo period on an12/12 schedule and plan to do a run of blue dream and super lemon haze both autos in 3 gal square pots i will be using a 600 watt vipaspectra full spectrum led light total of 9 plants. Nutrients will be the full line of fox farms soil based fertilizer and soil is fox farms ocean. Making the switch to autos im looking for any advicenas far as do's and don't between photo period and autos. Thanks in advance.

Run ( at least ) 18/6 schedule start to finish. Some run longer but to me it really doesnt add much more to plant. Plants will " power down " during your cycle ( leaves start to droop ) perfectly normal as it begins to use its stored energy.

Auto can be planted in its final container size ( 3-5 gallon ) , it will not be stressed or shocked if you avoid uppotting.

Here is a Tangerine Dream , i just popped in a rapid Rooter plug in a 5 gallon pot.
NO paper towel bullshit .... Just a damp plug and a seed.

If using LED lights ... Feeding is lighter than photos due to less transpiration as with HID . This also means watering is spread out more.

Autos hate stress - Any stress .... Overwatering , overfeeding , etc.
But you can do some light training on them .... LST . Some autos can be topped , some of them. You CANNOT clone an auto. It is on its own timeline ... Once popped it will move from seed to end usually within 90 days. That is why , the most common error growers do is fuck with them too much during their SHORT VEG TIME. They become sexually mature within 30-40 days from seed. That is why you keep the lights on them long ... So they can setup their structure and rootmass.

Once moved to flower stage .... Feed same veg feed for the first two weeks of flower then bloom after that ..... Less is more when running autos ... There is no reason to throw multiple bottles of this and that at them.

Thanks! As far as watering and feeding goes i typically take a calendar and makerk water and feed every other day that way they get about 2 water and 2 feed a week. Is there any formula as to how much each plant needs as far as watering i like to be as consistent as possible and love using math so i try to get it down to the ounce of how much each plant gets so i do not over feed or over water i had success with the photo plants using 1 gallon o 1.5 gallon per 24 plants throughout there life cycle but if with auto less is more about how much would you say each plant would take? I generally did about 8oz per bucket on previous grows. That also was with a soil mix of 25%vermiculite 25% perlite and 50% organic potting mix so much more water than tgat started coming out of bottom of buckets

That sounds like overwatering... I water ever 3-4 days when the soil starts getting dry about an inch down. I lightly feed every other watering, so they get food about once a week.

Yeah i found that out i was ised to making my own soil mix and it would drain alot faster than the ffof i quickly realized that was over water and over feeding them.
I did find that the plants i used LST on where finished from aprout to chop in a little over a month and a half but didnt produce much and the ones i just let grow produced about 3 oz each as compared to 20-25 grams apiece so i will be just letting them do there own thing from now on.
