Grow Mediums GH Nutrient Schedule for Auto's in RDWC

[churchill]

Hi there

Just finalising my RDWC set up and could really use some advice on nutrient schedules.

Using GH Flora Lucas Formula.

Does this need to be adjusted for Autoflowers?

Should I be holding off for the first 2 weeks introducing any nutrients into the system?

When and how much Canna Rhizotonic to use from seed?

Many Thanks!

I have not found it necessary to alter GH formula's for auto's although there is probably no harm in starting them a little on the lite side of the schedule.
I hand water the seedlings until roots protrude from the bottom of the netpot, then I place them in the rez at about half strength "seedling" stage with a root stimulator.
Then I keep an eye on them for the next day or so to see if the feed is right,
light green new leaves- bump the feed up
Med green new leaves- happy plant
Dark green new leaves- keep an eye for nute burn ( might need to dilute the rez)

After that, you should be able to follow there directions with little problem.

Follow the manufacturers direction with the Canna Rhizotonic.

Good luck, post up a journal when you are ready.
