Soil & Nutrition question

[Terrencetee]

Whats up everyone

I have just got ahold of 3 northern light autos and have planted them around 30 hours ago in peat pellets for an indoor grow
This is my first time growing auto's so I have a few questions regarding feeding the plants.

When is the best time to give them their first nutes? I am using Bio Biz Light Mix for the soil and from my understanding their are already a bit nutrients in this soil.
the grow chart advises to give them their nutrients on their first week but i dont want to burn them. I also dont want to start to late as auto's are on a timer
I was planning on giving them water the first week and then switching to nutrients after that

I am using Bionova AutoFlower-SuperMix for the nutrients and will be adding BioNova PK 13-14 during flowering
Below is the chart that I plan on following ( found online )

What do you guys think?
Should I also be feeding them every watering?

Thanks in advance!

I use TPS Nutes and they have a chart to follow on amended soil. It works well. I get some tip burn but for the most it is spot on. In my experience nothing is a 100%. You always have to adjust. Experience is king. The way to learn is through mistakes. If you do make a mistake you can still have some good flower.
My biggest downfall so far was thinking everything had to be perfect. We all make mistakes. Over coming mistakes is where the knowledge is!
Some say to use the charts but only do half of the recommended dosages . I am not familiar with your nutes, maybe some on here are.
Note when in veg you will not water as much as in flowering stage. The biggest thing I found myself doing wrong is over watering. It took me three grows to be able to look at the plant and tell if she needs water.
We could go on and on about stuff but learning from your own mistakes I have found is King . Just remember everything will not be perfect all the time and enjoy the journey with you and your plant.
Remember when things go wrong Don't give up! LEARN.
This is not just about how good I grow it is about the struggles I over come through trying again and again. Don't ever give up!

I wouldn't go to crazy on the nutes brother. You're most likely to overfeed then to underfeed...
Keep an eye on those seedlings. Coming ten days most of the action should be taking place beneath the soil, but there should be movement above as well. Try to take pictures from the same spot and compare day to day.

Hey Bob

I am planning on giving 1/2 of the recommended doses
just was wondering when would be the best to start feeding them

I've used light mix and pellets with autos before and started a light feed (quarter strength) on beginning of week 3, I've been using bio bizz nutes though. There will be enough food in the soil and peat pellets for the seedlings for a couple of weeks and it'll only need water. After that you can feed with every watering but it'll be different for every plant, I've found that most autos don't need as much as you think or plant food manufacturers say you be should be feeding. Feed the soil not the plant.

The seed itself has enough nutrients for a week at least. I would tread very lightly, if at all, for the first 3 weeks. Once your roots are established and the plant has a little size, then I’d feed them closer to the suggested schedule.
It’s a fine line w/ autos. Any big setbacks early on will be costlier than with photos. You wanna make sure they have what they need but not overdo it…..I’ve seen autos preflowering at 3-4 weeks.
I would probably give them 1/4 dose when u start. See how they handle it and go from there.

I wouldn't feed them until either the plant(s) start to show signs of underfeeding, which won't be for another three to four weeks or she goes into flowering as then she'll need a different combination of nutrients... So please be carefull with extra nutrients for now and when you do start feeding start with a quarter of the regular dose and build up in percentages instead of quarters as not to shock the plant(s)

Nope. You add 2ml to 4L of water instead of the 1L
