Hello,

so I have some foxfarm nutes for veg and general hydropon organic for flowering...

My babes have been in soil since mid may (2.5 weeks) and transplanted outdoors into grow bags less than 1 week ago. They are on their 3rd-4th set of leaves, the nutrient leaves at the bottom are now starting to fade. It has been raining lots and I think a lot of the nutes have probably got flushed out, although the perlite may be storing some. I have been going rather light on the nutes....

MY QUESTIONs:

-SPECIFICALLY with autoflowers, just starting to show sex at around 19 days, when should I start using my flowering/bloom nutes?

Please note that according to the stats, these babes should be ready within 7 or 8 weeks, therefore, how far into this cycle do I use the flowering nutes.

Please don't comment in regards to light cycles because these are autoflowering plants independant of light cycle (unless you know something i dont). Every time i ask a question about auto's people start talking about light cycles and Im guessing they dont know what they're talking about... or maybe its just me.

I appreciate your help... the best answer sent within this week gets +rep as much as the computer will allow me to up the rep.

Cheers

PS when I say "Please note that according to the stats, these babes should be ready within 7 or 8 weeks, therefore, how far into this cycle do I use the flowering nutes." i mean from seed to harvest, not from today

i start giving my plants nutes at about 400ppm about 3 weeks after the seeds sprout, usually have about 3-4 nodes at that time,

as soon as my plants go into flower they are given what the schedule asks for, but i use Bloom nutes not ff...
when i start flower they are given about 700ppm.. but ive never grown autos.

i would say to start giving them nutes at about 50% strength of what is recommended, and if your plants react well then up the mixture to 75% strength and so on.
check your waters ppm and dont go too high too fast.
