Can anyone give me a clue as what and when to add organic nutrients. This is only my second grow please keep it simple
 
I would do a quick search as I think your choice is an automatic and might need a slightly different feed schedule. If in doubt keep it light at first less is more in the beginning
 
Thank you. I have been afraid to use to much of a good thing. I have only been using my nutrients at half strength. I was thinking maybe I need to give more. Thanks for reminding me to be conservative on my applications.
 
I give mine a couple of weeks in fresh soil on just water, let them get established. Then I will give them a 25% dose of grow nutes with a touch of Epsom Salt until they pre flower and from then on I use flowering nutes at first at 25% working up to 50%. When they show signs of finishing I drop back to 25%. I will add a little Epsom Salt every 4th feed or so.

Thank you for this info. Being new at this Makes me believe you need a tent as a hospital. Do you mean to transplant them.

No you don't have to transplant them. Germinate them by your chosen method, some people do that on wet paper towel and put them in their final pot once rooted. Other plant them directly into the final pot and some use Jiffy plugs. Personally I use small seedling bags in a heated propagator on the window sill, once they pop and break the soil I bury the seedling bag in their final pot and put them under the lights. Once rooted a Auto shouldn't be transplanted. I have experimented with all of these methods and found the heated propagator and seedling bags to be the most effective.
