Hi everyone,
I am in much need of a little feeding advice but need it asap!

Abit about my grow"
I'm growing 8 plants at the mo, 3 are betty boo fem auto flowering plants and are just over a month old. On the packet the seeds came in said they will be done from seed to harvest in 60days, then went on to say they are the fastest autos on the market.
The other 5 are from some seeds i found in a bag of really nice skunk i got off a friend.



I transplanted my 3 autos out of the startter pots i had in to 11ltr pots i got for them. For soil i used 50% westlands or westgate multi-purpus compost' 10% worm castings' 20% perlite' 30% vitamix-pro soil which has hardy any nutes in it' plus 2 tea spoons of dolomite lime.
The plants have started to flower about a week ago" the plants are just over a month old now. I've got some canna nutes here for veg and flowering" when plants go in to flowering they use more p and k then n.
The question i have is would these auto's grow just fine in the soil that they are in? Or do i need to start feeding but at what rate?
I'd be more than grateful if i can get some advice off people who have growen autos"
Thanks for reading scunk

Are your plants having any deficiencies or signs of needing anything etc. Less is more so if they look healthy let them be. A little nutes w nitrogen would be ok just make sure u ph it as nutes drop ph low low

Hi guys
Yeah they are growing real well" i have got some pictures but i've forgotten how to put photo's on this site as i ain't been on here in awhile lol when i push the image button it says url" i'm unsure, no i haven't a clue how to use that. Last time i used this site and wanted to put any pictures up loaded and press the image button it would say computer instead of enter url"
If i use the upload a file would that put a photo on here for me?
The plants seem to be really taking off since i moved them out of my tent and put them in to another room under a 600w hps with a dual spectrum blub. They were under a 125w clf for 2weeks and then another 2weeks under a 250w cfl untill 2 days ago when i put them under the 600w.
I ph my water to 6.6-6.8 after letting it sit in an open jar for 24hrs,
The lightings on 24/7 for the 3 autos and 4hrs dark for the rest of my plants which are not auto flowering plants.

Hi everyone,
I would like to say thank you to the ones who posted some info and advice" i think someone mentioned did i have any problems or defs, up untill i was watering a plant only an hr ago' i noticed one of the bottom leaves was alittle limeishey colour, limp, plus the tips of a leaf was, not rolled up but like it had been soaked in a light browishey colour!
But there were only 2 leafs that were like this"
I've kept my plants close to the top of the soil because the lights have been within only an inch, maybe 2' of the top of the plants since they broke through the soil.
I also forgot to mention that in the last 2 weeks i've been adding small amounts" (well drips more like) of silicon which says it helps make plants better as to not growing with problems and is good for them. I've added again drips more like of nitrosem" dont know if thats spelt right lol its from sea plants and also helps them grow strong.
Apart from those bottom 2 leaves they are growing well.
If i hit the upload a file button will it show photos i want to put in my thread here?

The only thing I can add is get some ChaChing for the last couple weeks of flower
it really does help the final product. You can give the auto's 4 hrs of rest also.
Good luck and much success.

Dark time, the plant rest's and changes respiratory function.
They need to uptake o2 and release co2. Everything needs to obey the
circadian rhythm. I know some will disagree when it comes to auto's
but I have been growing 47 years and nobody complains about my smoke.

I've been giving them 4 hrs of darkness. Will these autos grow ok with whats in my soil? What i mean is will it grow alright without the need for flowering nutes or additives?
