The easiest soil mix for autos is this 50% cow manure thoroughly mixxed with 50% perilite. This mix is not too hot for autos and will work fine for veg, imo. U may have to use a cal/mag supplement depending on the strains needs. Hope this pointer helps a lil. Its just easy technique i learned around the site. Welcome to the site, btw. Its full of alot of knowledge and friendly peaceful vibes and members to back em up. Enjoy your stay.

P.s. i dont do many welcomes... lol. Forgot to mention, if u have a question, be sure to search the threads before posting a new one on a certain query u may have. Oh yeah, not saying u ever will, but dont be rude. Sarcasm is perfectly fine and acceptable, but we have a zero tolerance for rudeness. Follow those two rules and you.ll fit in fine. Sorry for the ramble... lol. I do that sometimes.. lol. Cheers.

Welcome to AFN. Growing autos is a lot of fun and really not a whole lot different from growing photos. Autos are a little more nutrient sensitive than photos and rarely require more than about 1/2 to 3/4 strength. Don't know where you got the info about them being susceptible to stress but that's not the case. Autos can be grown under just about any light cycle and will do well. Three gallon pots are a good size for growing autos. People are growing them in smaller containers but if you have sufficient room, and want max yields, those are a good size.

What strains have you ordered?

 

[smokeyluke]
