Usually I go with nutes at about 2 weeks. If you are concerned and think you need to. Just mix it up at like 25%. Probably wont hurt anything. But after you got 2 sets of real leaves. I go all in as I described earlier. You have to remember. Perlite is just a passive medium. It provides zero nutrients. Hempy is like a passive hydro. You gotta feed nutes period. But, generally good genes have what they need to get to 2 weeks. In my experience anyway.

3 gallon buckets are good, you should get two large plants....sometimes they get a bit user unfriendly when too big
I have used both auto's and regular....doesn't matter much from a hempy perspective.......this pic was an auto

People think I'm smart. I'm really just lazy. If their is an easier, simpler way, I will figure it out because I am lazy! And I get fantastic results. Maybe not the best. That's ok. I've done soil, drip/dwc and been doing Hempy for several years. I started Licas Formula just recently. I'm so lazy, I'll skip a day of watering cause I don't feel like taking five minutes to mix nutes. Lol. I do autos because they are Hardy and just trouble free. You will be alright. Jut don't overthink it, which I know is hard to do for a noob. I were one once. After a while, it doesn't even excite me much. I hang out here just when I'm bored and stuff. If I were you, I would just go through dudes journals. Do it the exact same way. I don't do journals cause I'm lazy. lol

fem and "auto" are 2 different subjects
fem = feminized (99.99% chance it will be female)
Auto = no need to reduce the light to 12/12, as they will flower with any amount of light...you may go 20/4 or 24 hours/day of light

I agree about autos. I do them because you don't have to worry about light leaks and such. I don't even use a timer. I flip em on in the eve after work. Flip it off in the morn when I leave. They get about 14 hours. I've done it almost every way. 12/12, 18/6. I think it may slightly reduce yield going with less light. But, still. I usually get at least a couple of Os.

I love auto's for my sunshine grows, as I have limited summer months...but had a few disappointments using auto's for my HPS grow, so I will likely go with regulars for this winter's grow......I refer to auto's as plug & play....hard to go wrong, so a great way to start growing
