This is my second ever grow and my first auto. I'm growing two Revolver feminized seeds, germinated April 30th. One popped May 1st and had a tap root an inch long last night May 2nd), the other didn't pop. Both went into seedling soil under a white veg light at 18/6, we'll see if the one pops.
Now I already know I made a mistake or two. I'm mixing my own soil but I thought I'd have more time to get the ingredients and mix it so the seeds are in seedling squares with seedling soil (0.5 . 0.07 . 0.5) right now and will have to be transplanted. The square is meant to be planted directly so unless anyone here says that will be bad for my plant's life cycle/roots that's the plan to reduce shock (planting the whole square). My soil recipe is 11.5 (promix: compost/worm castings: perlite) add 1/4 c. alfalfa meal, 1/2 c. kelp meal, 1/4 c. crustacean meal and should be ready by Wednesday.
I have a good idea about the lighting and timing but I'm having trouble finding information on nutrients for an auto flower. I'm worried that if I over feed I won't have time to recover before flowering. Is it common to not feed an auto for this reason? Will my soil mix be more then enough? Any and all auto grow advice is welcome!
