How often do you feed your auto's outdoors?

[JMQ]

I am a newbie and have been reading the forums trying to determine the correct answer.

I have started 5 autos (DP Think Different 2x, DP Auto Night Queen, DP AutoMazar, and Dinafem Critical +) in 5 gallon fabric pots. So far so good.
I am trying to follow the Biobizz feed schedule (thanks Hazy for posting) but I am trying to figure out how often to feed them outdoors vs. indoors.


I am sure I am overthinking it but want to thank you all in advance for helping me get the training wheels off and sharing your experience and wisdom.

I'm not experienced enough to offer advice, but I'm sure someone will come along soon with an answer. I have autos outdoors too, and one thing I learned quick, is that your fabric pots will dry out very quickly when it's hot and sunny, (but you may already know that)! In case your wondering, I fertilize every time I water and most times they don't even need water, because I also use water storing polymers ... at least I am this year! Anyways, good luck with your grow bro!

Thank you Need4Weed!!
I just started and we had 4 days 90+farenheight and have been checking constantly to make sure they have been ok. Now it is 60-70's for next week and stormy so they are under cover as it may hail tonight.
Really appreciate the guidance and quick feedback.

I forgot to mention that last year I used 3 gallon fabric pots outdoors, but this year they are going in the ground, (thus the water storing polymers). However, I do have 2 Afgani regulars in 1 gallon fabric pots outside that I have to keep from drying out! Most times, I put them in a tray and flood the little boys/girls from the bottom! I have clones right now that have been in over 36 hours of darkness, so I can determine sex, (don't need no males, lol) :smoking:

Since I don't know what I am doing I thought I would go all in so I also got a couple photos in 3 gallon pots I have been babying and they are about to go outside since I just finished the 2x2x2 ft deep holes today
One is a White Russian, the other a Chocolate Chunk I believe

I would just run the schedule laid out before you. I am running tangs AN schedule outdoor for autos and it is working great. I feed them each 4litres/1 gallon of feed every 2-3 days.

Edit- The one thing I would change a bit is the cal/mag ratios. Give the plants some but I don't believe they need as much cal/mag as they would under leds.

Thank you for the reply and transfer of knowledge. I will modify the cal/mag as advised.
I had a minor calmag deficiency in the photos but jumped right on it after I was able to uses the resources on this awesome site to confirm what was going on.

I am not much of a joiner but the cool helpful respectful vibe of the site has encouraged me to reach out a bit. Thanks again.

Hey man i just did a few Autos in a Greenhouse and did a Feed water water cycle.
I would feed then next watering use only watering then next watering use water then feed on the next watering.
