Fertilizers for begginers

IMO the best and easyest nutes fore some one new to growing is the Fox Farm 3 pack combo. I live in a place where there is no hydro store and befor i had to use nutes that wernt intend more cannabis and gave me lots of troubles, then i got so cheapo cannabis nutes but they burnt my plants to. I finnally ordered the 3 pack combo of Fox Farm nutes and never been happier.

Fox Farms very easy to use and gentle on your plants. everyone seems to get alot less nute burns with them.which means less stunting and bigger autos plants:thumbs:

also if you want to get some extras heres some to get Bud Candy, Super Thrive (for micro-nutreints), Cal Mag, Liquid CarboLoad and Final Phase(a flushing agent). But if you only want to spend 50-60$ the fox farm trio pack will do you fine

Hey, it's the first time I plant autos, I got me some Angelmatic seeds, but unfortunately only 1 plant survived. I live in the Mediterranean so there's plenty of sunlight this time of the year. The bad thing is I can have it in direct sunlight only for 3-4 hours a day. By the way, the rest of the day there is plenty of light, just not direct. Would you suggest to keep it this way or should I bring it inside under the HID?

Cheers

whens the best time to pollinate a auto?

 

[Dr.Autoflower]

whens the best time to pollinate a auto?

4 to 5 weeks befor you plan harvesting, to give seeds time to develope.

how do you know when the seeds are forming?

 

[Northern Grower]

The white hairs will die and turn brown or red, and the calyxs will swell as the seed develops. Some times the seed will split the calyx and you can see it as it grows.

if you are asking when to swith from blue spectrum light to red spectrum light for flowering, the you will want to use blue spectrum light for the first 3 weeks the switch to red specturm for the rest off the grow. But if you are asking when to change the light cycle to 12/12 you DO NOT do that with autoflowers. The grow best under 20/4 hours of light their whole life

Cheers for the info, yes I was talking about when to switch from blue to red. Just wondering, I know you don't use CFL's but do you think it is better to vegetate for 4 weeks and flower for the remainder since I am using CFL's?

Said I watchd your videos on youtube in my last post... forgot to tell you they rock. A great reference guide, was doing a little bit of fan leaf tucking last night grace a vous, probably a little bit early but practice makes perfect. Thanks for all the info.

I'll be posting some photos today of my first auto grow 2x La Diva Feminised and 2x Speed Devil feminised. Watched your video on breeding last night so I won't be buying anymore feminised seeds when I'm done with these. Fortunately I'm using CFL's as you and others have said feminised pants prefer these to start off. Either way please take a look at my photos when they are up.

Here is a link to my thread: http://www.autoflower.org/showthread.php/1307-First-Time-CFL-Grower

There is general info there about my first grow which will be updated today.

Shake a hand, stay nice.
