Need help Northern Lights Auto

[Greenwizard91]

Hello All,

I will be starting my 2nd grow in a few short weeks and for this grow I have ordered Northern Lights Auto from Crop King. I have searched the web for some grow info but haven't found much. I have a list of questions that if anyone knows even just one answer any help would be appreciated.

1. I have heard that Auto flowers can be very touchy about how much nutes you give to them. Should I not feed them or use very little?

2. My first grow I used a method of LST that my cousin had shown me. Is it a bad idea to use LST with an auto flower sice it may slow down growth? Also if anyone has ever used LST with an auto flower and had success please let me know.

3. I have two 450w Led lights with a grow and bloom setting. Should I be using each setting for each stage of life or give them full spectrum?

4. What is an appropriate light/dark cycle since they arnt photoperiodic?

5. This is probably the most important question of all, as I have never tried this strain before. What are your opinions on this strain, such as how potent and effect when medicated.

Have never grown an auto but have grown regular NL. Good strong strain, got decent yield even though they were abused.
I like the high and it makes sleeping easier.
Not sure how much difference there is between a photo and an auto of this strain.

My first plant had no major issues so I hope I wont need it to be forgiving but its nice to know that all is not doomed if I mess up a bit since I am still so new at this!

not at all, ive seen root rot and bugs hit nl, they got it cleaned up and still managed to get 3+ oz off 1 plant. Ill try to find the post somewhere around here. The smoke is amazing to ive had it a few times, and the edibles will put you in a 9 hour coma just using 3.5 with oil! I wish i could find it again

Thanks for the tips,I cant wait to try it. My first grow is a bag seed Sour Diesel that is in the 4th week of flower and looking good. My buddy found it in some pretty good stuff but it had been grown outside so it will be interesting to see what a good strong strain will do inside.
