Hey man,

Everyone starts at the beginning.

One thing that was super helpful for me was this:

https://www.autoflower.org/f44/life-cycle-auto-flowering-cannabis-5113.html

It's a "Sticky" thread at the top of the list of threads in New Growers sub-forum (where we are right now, or at least where this thread resides)

A sticky is a special thread that always stays on top of the list of any particular sub-forum, it's locked there due to it's importance level.

As to your questions:

Most will say that Autoflowers are more sensitive to nutrients, it's a good practice to start with .25% of whatever is recommended for photoperiods.
And generally (based on your chosen grow medium) to just feed water for the first two weeks or so.

And, as has been mentioned, Autos (especially under LED) use more Cal/Mag supplement. I personally like GH CaMg+ because it's NPK values are 0-0-0
so I don't have to worry about it interacting negatively with my other nutrients.

Cheers and Good Luck! We got your back

I can't really speak to the DWC half of your set-up but I know some other folks will have your back on that...very different animal from soil grows.

Alright now Majicman, we will find out if your got those "Majichands" Ann used to sing about!

First off, Glad to have you on the site.
I hope you can benefit as much from this site as I have.
Now, Do you already have a nute line up?
If so, it will most likely work, but you will probably want to start them off at 1/4 strength of the manufacturers recommendations.
Let us know, as there are a number nute brands members here have used and I am sure we can point you in the right direction.
If not, there are several very reliable brands. We can discuss those later.

Other than starting them at about 1/4 strength and bumping them up as they show positive growth, there is no mystery.
If you want them to finish faster, start bloom nutes as soon as you see sex.
If you want yield, start bloom nutes at the end of vertical growth.

If you want more specifics, start a grow journal. It will help us, in giving you advice specific to your conditions. It makes a difference.
It is a good place to ask direct questions.
