Advice for some autos

ShaneBud said:

Hey all, I recently got into marijuana growing (again) and ordered some seeds. Before they arrive I just want to get prepared. I’ll give some information.

I’m in Australia and got 3x White Widow Autos
I think I have decided to use coco coir as my medium in 7gallon buckets. I chose to grow outside since it’s getting really god damn hot.

My main questions are about nutrients, I heard that in veg you need high N and low PK and the opposite for flower. But then I read autos don’t really have a veg stage and go into flowering fairly quickly. I did some research and apparently people have had high success with this exact nutrient.

would this be okay for my type of grow?

And if so would I only be using the florabloom since it goes into flowering a lot quicker? Or maybe a mixture of both. I’m sorry if this is such a novice question I have never grown anything in my life and when i have tried i have failed.. Another small question, how often would I need to feed? Would it be only some days I feed and some days I only use water?
Thank you for your time, I have done research but everything is telling me something different and have gotten confused. Are there any other aussies that have grown autos outdoors and have had a successful grow with nutrients available here?

My advice would be to not use coco unless you’re really familiar with the plant and the nutrients it needs. I’d stick with a proven soil like FFOF or something along those lines (lots of options) and then you don’t really have to add anything until you get into flowering

thanks for the advice! Someone else gave me different advice telling me I didn’t need nutes at all growing autos outside (for the entire 80 or so day period) but I assume you’re also Aussie so I’ll take your advice. Thank you very much man
