New Grower first auto grow

[wheredaweedat]

Hey all :tiphat:

A few days ago I ordered two mixed packs of auto-fem seeds and will be getting 2 seeds of each of these strains -
Pandora-Speed Devil-Big Devil-AutoMariaII-Auto Acid-Fast Bud

Its going to be my first auto grow, but I do have one photo under my belt.
Im not going to ask any specific questions other than-

Does anyone have any experience with any of the strains?
What are the best stickies for a neWb auto-grower to check out??

Thanks in Advance

I don't have any experience with those strains. And the best advice when starting out as a grower is to keep it simple. Over-complicated methods leave a lot more room for error. I would read some threads about the medium you are using, and the lights. Those will give you a great idea of what to expect, and what problems you may be able to avoid. Good luck mate! :karma Cloud:

The biggest advice given to me was not to overwater your girls. I can't stress it enough, they can grow in a drought, in fact they can thrive in a drought, but not in a flood. Be careful with water! Other than that no I don't have any experience with those flowers.

well thats kinda where i was hoping the stickies would lead me.
For the last grow, which again, were photos AND my first, 98% of the grow was done with CFL. There was an HPS briefly at the start of 12/12 but the bulb went out and the grow continued on 250w(actual) warm CFL (cool for veg). The medium started as a Miracle Grow Organic and some perlite, and ended in a black gold organic and perlite mix. The nutes that were used were the General Hydroponics GoBox (nutes for hydro or soil) and molasses for the last 3 weeks til the end.
But from what Ive been reading, autos tend to be a bit more finicky/temperamental than photos.

to everyone who advised to NOT over water - That was a mistake I learned during my last go-round, lol. also learned how crucial proper drainage and PH are haha.
