auto ferts

[gumbosd]

I want to know what ferts are you folks are using? I am growing in soil. I have been using flora bloom and snowstorm ultra.

i have noticed that autos dont need a lot of ferts and acutally get a lot bigger with less ferts

i treat them as a mix of a flowering plant and a small seedling

Here's what I replied:

When growing AFs in soil, I start feeding fish emulsion + liquid kelp at week 2, gradually increasing nute concentration to reach full strength by week 4 more or less (ie. week2 1/4, week3 1/2, week4+ full strength) until week 6 is done (about 3 weeks into flower). Then I stop giving fish emulsion, feed liquid kelp + molasses (1tsp/gal) during week 7, and flush until the end (at least 2 weeks, if not 3). I often use an enzyme product during feedings.
In other words, I do feed N until early flower, and have found no negative effects by doing so. I like them as vigorous (ie. big, branchy) as possible before they start budding so I may be pushing them a bit but I'm quite satisfied with the results.

EDIT: Good luck!

good soil to start, by week 4 u might need to feed and then maybe only two to three times some chems, not difficult unless u want it to be.

use ferts whenever your plant is telling you it needs them. leaves should be a very dark green when fully fertilised, when the leaves become a light green they need feeding. your plant will tell you everything it needs. you just need to learn how to read it
