Indoor First Auto Grow

[vinotoscano0827]

Hi guys. This is my first autoflower grow, and i was wondering if could get aome tims from youse. Biggest concern for me right now is how im supposed to feed her with my advanced nutrients line. Also, what are the best environmental factors for maximum growth. I appreciate it guys. Cheers!

Are you growing in soil or hydro? What kind of lighting? Which of the AN line are you using, and which additives? What strain? More info equals a closer to correct answer.

Alright. I'm growing in Fox Farm Soil, Feminized LSD-25 Auto in a 3 gallon pot, and I have the following nutrients:
Sensi Grow A & B
Sensi Bloom A & B
Big Bud
Nirvana
Revive
Voodoo Juice
Rhino Skin
Ancient Earth
B-52
Bud Factor X
Overdrive
Sensizym
Tarantula
Piranha
Bud Ignitor
Flawless Finish
Kushie Kush
Final Phase

I'm growing Under a Mars II Hydro 400w and using a 300w GalaxyHydro dimmable LED panel as side lighting (will turn on at first signs of flowering), 4 CFL's 6500k and a UVA UVB terrarium bulb for final stages of budding. I keep the PH between 5.8 and 6.5, with temperatures staying between 73-80 night/day degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity at a constant 60%. I hope this clears all questions. Cheers!

My reccomend at ion is go to the advanced nutrient website and look at their nute calculator and see when each product you have is called for. My only concern for you is the soil choice. The soils will have some nutes in them so be very careful as to not over do them I would only run the base nutes at 1/4 strength when you start. I found in my grows using AN the soiless mediums like plagron light or promix that have little to no nutrients are best so you know exactly what they are getting and how much. Good luck though my friend she should be a stunner with the entire an lineup if used correctly

Alright. Thanks A-Train, this is my test plant. For my actual grow I will try to find I fertilized soil. I will be growing:

- X1 LSD-25 Auto
- X1 Super Cali Haze Auto
- X1 Red Poison Auto
- X1 Black Gold Auto
- X1 Coffee Ryder Auto

In a 4x4 tent under a 600w HPS light.

Before you decide for sure on soil, I'd contemplate coco + perlite. With the nutrient lineup you have, if done properly in a coco perlite combo you could grow some seriously incredible buds.

 

[vinotoscano0827]

That would actually be cheaper for me since I have a couple bricks of coco in the garage, I just wouldn't know how to upkeep it since I've always grown in soil. If you guys can give me some pointers on how to grow in coco, I'd be delighted to switch from soil.

I would have recommended a large pot but you already have a 3 gallon which will work good for ya. That's about the minimum I would grow in. The happy frog is great soil I grew in it for years. Its consistent from bag to bag. The only thing I did not like about it was it would compact over time real bad. I would recommend putting some vermiculite in with it or sand. I use to put pearlite but for some reason if I put too much it would burn my plants. I think my pearlite had some type of chemical on it from being processed or something. If I got the percentage right though it worked great. About 1 gallon of pearlite to a bag worked great for me. I think vermiculite or sand would have worked better though.
