Hey guys, I have been searching the site for close to 2 hours now, I'm sure its just lack of familiarity with AFN, but I am trying to find some feeding schedules for auto flowers and I've had no luck. Its my first grow and it seems to be doing okay. Plants look healthy, but I can't help but wondering if I'm using the right nutes and enough of them. Its a closet grow and I'm using almost equal parts of Sunshine 4x, Vermiculite and Black Kow (but less of Black Kow) for soil. I bought Sensi Grow parts A&B because I read you could use it for soil and not just hydroponics. I was planning on using Sensi Bloom for the flowering stage. So I'm just curious, will Sensi Grow be adequate, and if not what are some recommendations. And if anyone has link or a point in the right direction on when and how much for nutrients I will be exceedingly grateful. Thanks in advance for any help.

First off, Welcome! 
I'm a Fox Farms guy so I can't advice on the Sensi line but What I will say is this...
Give us some details about what equipment you're using besides the medium and everyone can better advise you.
Are you running an LED? If so, you'll almost certainly want to add some Cal/Mag to the list. And maybe some molasses (Blackstrap/unsulphered/natural)
What size container/pot, what kind of pot, what strain you're growning, etc.
Cheers & Good Luck!
Okay, checked the pics in your album (they're working )
Shot Adrenaline strain, cool...Samsara gear - (White Dwarf x Skunk) x White Dwarf - Sati-dom most the time (Sativa Dominant hybrid)
And they look super healthy!

Thanks Trapper, I am using a 400w ballast with tube style reflector and I am using Metal Halide bulb at the moment and plan to switch over to a HPS bulb in a couple weeks. I've been keeping the light about a foot from the tops of my plants. I have them in 3 gallon plastic pots that my Arbor Vitas came in when I planted a bunch in my yard. They're just standard nursery pots. I cleaned them out really good and figured they would be about as big as I would want to go in my closet because its pretty small. I painted the entire closet flat white for light reflection and I just recently got an exhaust fan that I plan to install soon. I am using a couple small fans for air flow and i think that about covers it. And the strains are the Shot Adrenaline and Northern Lights. Both autos, both feminized. The Northern Lights is only 10 days old though as opposed to the Shot Adrenaline, its 22 days old. Thanks for taking time to reply and leave feedback, I do appreciate it.
Sounds excellent and am very familiar with the AN line up.... Don't begin any feeding for atleast two two and half weeks, than at that start off on only 1/4 dose so sensi 4ml's each of a and b. you most certainly run the grow that way straight through, if you can grab some great white, or voodoo juice to add beni and than maybe a bottle of b-52.... You can add the rest of the line up down the road.... Than see how your plants respond, no yellowing or burnt tips up the feed a bit.... Good thing with AN is that if you use RO water never need to worry about PH! It's pretty much fool proof with AN. I call it the paint by numbers nutrients....
Everything elSe seems spot on:.: begin the bloom nutes ONLY AFTER vertical height stops (don't worry. If it's starting to flower, with autos you don't have time to recover from a f-up)
I usually add half of whatever additional nutes I use to the amount of grow or bloom I use... (Ie 4ml's of grow, than 2mls of b-52) no need for the big bud at the moment... Hope that helps a little need any further help just Hollar

Thanks Yoda,
I've done just about that with pretty good results. Except I haven't used any thing other than Sensi Grow and Bloom. I have gotten a little bit of nutrient burn but not bad. Shot Adrenaline is at day 40 today and I noticed the first amber trichomes. I was going to hit it with sensi bloom one more time and then start water only until its done. Does that sound about right? Thanks for your reply and advice, I am most appreciative.
