New Grower First time autoflower growing need help

[Kharas]

Hey there guys,

I am going to start my first autoflower grow and need some help from you. I will be growing 5x dark devil on 1.2m2 scrog. As a do research I couldn't find a proper answer for feeding, probably cos I Don't have ec meter. Here is my equipment :
*2.4x1.2 m grow tent
*15 lt easy to grow autopot system
*1x600w mh
*1x600w hps
*2x 350m3 fan with speed control for intake and outgoing
*%70 coco %30 clay bubbles for medium
* I am going to use advanced nutrients sensi coco a+b, voodoo juice, big bud, bud candy, overdrive, flawless finish and superthrive vitamin

Here are my questions:

1- does my equipment ok or I need to buy anything else

2- do I need to add cal-mag or sensi coco will be enough for start.
What doses I need to feed them. ( start from 1/4 and go up?) Is there any feeding chart for it?
3- what yield I should expect
4- any tips are welcome

Thanks for helps

Nobody has any info about autopot feeding doses?

1) Equiptment sounds good. Some Rhino Skin, maybe.

2) Definitely need CalMg.

1/4 strength is a good start. There is enough nutrients in the seed for at least 10 days.

3) Yield depends on so much. Expect low and hope high, is my only advice.

4) Sow seed in final pot.
Don't over water.
Start CalMg with first feed.
Start a journal.
Tag me.
Get high.
Relax.

I will definitely start a journal and tag you mate. Something I don t understand , you wrote seed have enough nutrients for 10 days. Shouldn't I feed first 10 days? For example before sowing the seed should I water the coco medium with cal mag and superthrive?

I personally do as you said I wet my Coco same as you and soon as it gets a few of it's true leaves I give it a slight smidge of food but that's just me Coco has no nutrients in it I was always told to feed sparingly from the start like from day 1 to 7 and day 8 plus add a little more .I follow this

His name's Niel he's a member on here I use the Lucas formula

Thanks mate. I really appreciate your help. I checked the link and it gives doses as ppm.. and I don t have an ec meter. I guess I should get one.I have been growing for 2 years. When I started I was freaking out if there is going to be a problem. I do research like mad.sleepless days and nights. After some growing experience I started to think that I had learned a thing or two. Somehow I decided to go for auto and now I realise everything I know is useless. A whole diffrent world and I am freaking out again I will start a journel in 10 days and I will be desperate for help again.

Pal ask me anything I grew some normal ones few years back and decided I fancied trying it again and these are tough plants mate all you know from past is great these just take less food and for the time being go slow on ya feed if your plants look happy crack on till u get a EC meter I went with Lucas formula just for simplicity you will do fine as they say keep it simple

I have no experience with coco buddy. There are many here who do though. When you start a journal, you will have all the help you need. Good luck!

What I meant by the seed having enough food for 10 days may not pertain to coco grows, my apologies. I grow in soilless. I personally feed straight tap water for the first 1- 2 weeks.

Yikes!! My tap water is hard and, to think of it a third time, calcinated... Hmmm.... Either way, I'm now on generic site bottled water, and send to be doing fine. I've also cut the soil temperature by 10*F in the past couple days, right to stretch, so hopefully these are beneficial remediations to my environment.

Sorry, I'm always stealing shit. Also a new grower, however contradictory to myself, you appear to be researching the shit out of what you're going to be doing. That alone from my perspective is commendable. And entirely like you, I wish there was a crystal ball to determine my yield so I could lay my anxious cognater to rest. OTOH, it's like a Xmas that slowly develops and ya gets to watch 'er!!
