So this is my little guy, he's a short stuff snowryder. 22/23 days old.

Im running 2 6500k bulbs atm, and I gave it one veg nute blast a week or 2 ago which burned it a bit but eh that's how you learn right.

Should I be giving my little guy bloom nutes yet/at all?

AND

Should I switch my 65's to 2700's? Il be heading back to where my plants growing on Saturday (28th) [Gone for the week] but if I need to switch the bulbs asap in order to save yeild, its doable.

Any and every opinion I'm thankful for.

Thanks guys

What kind of soil are you using?

I'm still currently in my first grow, and I used pro-mix organic soil (no nutes), and I only fed it with veg nutes until roughly day 30ish old after seed planted. I didn't add any bloom nutes to it until I confirmed that the plant itself was in the flowering stage. It may have been a tad late on the feeding, but I just wanted to make sure it used the nutes when it was needed and not sitting in the soil not being absorbed properly.

As for the lights, I switched them when I was sure it was in the beginning of the flowering stage.

Hope this helped?
Check out my journal in my sig if you want. Good luck man!

The soil Im using is Original Sea Soil. I recently did a transplant into the medium, probably about 2 weeks ago. I think its full of organic nutes (bat guano, rich dark soil, etc) which has played a part of me not being able to give it anything except that one blast.

When you switched your lights what was your plant like? I think Im going to put in a few 2700s along with the 6500s, give it double spectrum then take one of the 65's out when I'm positive.

Il check your grow out forsure though dude

trust me on this... if you want to get the most out of that auto especially short stuff genetics... your gonna need to give it a big pot to sit in so it can put down roots quick with plenty of room to fill it out with... then secondly give it lots of light not just 24 or 18/6 or 20/4 or whatever... but light intensity... so if you can throw as many lights as you can at it... up to you...

otherwise it will be comically small and only yield you several grams...

and p.s. dont jinx it by calling it a "guy" lol jk... "she" should be at that age where you can tell what you got ;)

No bloom nutes until the plant is making flowers you can see (ie at least 3-4 weeks for an autoflower).

If you're starting with a good rich soil mix, you may not need any nutes at all.

In terms of lighting, Cannofbliss is right. More light is better. If all you have are four small bulbs (6500 and 2700) then I'd run ALL of them.
