Autoflower Nutes

I'm getting ready for my first grow (tent and seeds should be here in a few days) and I'm unsure about nutes. I'm going to be growing in 3/4 FFOF and 1/4 perlite.

What kind of nutes do you guys use and what kinda amounts do you usually feed them?

In my humble opinion it doesn't get any easier than FloraNova by General Hydroponics.
One nutrient for veg, one for bloom.
Add Liquid koolbloom during flower to double your yield.

You can use as many bottles as you want, and spend a billion, but FloraNova is simple and gets the job done.

Does it work well in soil too?

General Organics. GOBOX is the starter kit with the complete line for $35-$40. no pH adjustment required. comes with the feeding chart. :)
Good luck
For soil, coco, hydro.

ya i was really impressed with GH products when i used them
i stopped growing and gave away what i had left when i switched states
and started using technaflora when i started back up
got used to it
to lazy to learn another nute line up
i can be half asleep and stoned off my ass and its like second nature to just start grabbing bottles and mixing >.<

And for autos, you usually give them a cut dosage at first, right? Do you guys even give autos veg nutes generally?

Those look pretty sweet. I'm seriously contemplating the go box now. I can get it at my local hydro shop for $25 and they always throw me a 10 or 20% discount.
 
Definitely don't start out at full strength, you're asking for nute burn. Wait atleast until week 3 to even think about feeding in FFOF. Then start at 1/4 strength and Slowly work your way up, I just pulled three skunk #1 autos and never hit full strength using Advanced Nutrients.

Yeah. I wasn't planning on starting out at maybe the 3rd or 4th node and starting at 1/8 or 1/4 strength since I'm using FFOF. And then I'd increase the dosage depending on what it seems like the girls want. The go box just seems like the cheapest, quality line I can get at the moment. Unless there's a line that has been working wonders for a lot of people.

BTW. if you are a first time grower. be careful with the FFoF.......
I killed my first 16 plants with it and never used it again.

I used CocoGro, ReadyGro, and just recently made my switch to Sunshine Mix #4(no-burn formula). Love the shit. And it's pretty cheap if you think of what it comes with....... i paid $42 for a 3.0CuFt bale. but i pay $25 for a 1.5 of ReadyGro... saved 8 bux and have a better quality product

Look on ebay or amazon. i get mine locally. Had to have it ordered but i get it locally now. lol.
Ask your grow shop owner to order some if he/she doesn't carry it.

What do you add to the Sunshine Mix#4? I'm a couple weeks from my first harvest(I think) and I'm going to start 2 or 3 more autos when I'm done. I really want to dial it in a bit better this time around.
