Hello hello. New grower, and kinda posting around a little to make sure I get this in the right section.

I've got an autoflower under a pair of CFL's. It's young, but I was a little concerned with it's color. I was thinking it seemed like a nitrogen issue, but I didn't want to feed it anything without a second opinion. Or third, or as much help as I could get.

Thanks for any help.

A new sprout has about 2 weeks worth of it's own food and it's recommended not to feed but just keep them moist. After that ( depending on your soil as it may have nutes in it) a light feeding routine can begin. Usually 1/4 recommended manufacturers strength.

I believe so, yes Johnman. It seems to be a .10-.05-.05 mix if I'm reading/saying it right. It's Miracle Gro Organic Choice. Is that bad? v.v; I wish I knew about this forum before getting my materials...All I knew was to get some that was good for tomatoes, and didn't have actual Miracle Gro in it. Bleh.

You will be fine using any MG product. The big reason peoe hate on it, is the soils pre ferted with time release nutes, and the water soluble ones need to be introduced in 1/4 of the manufacturers recommended dose.
