Newbie question

I am compiling everything I need to start my grow, last thing that I am worried about is the nutrients. I saw one grower using this product
http://www.amazon.com/General-Hydro...93378&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=general+organicws

but im not sure if thats what I really need, or if that is a sufficient amount or what. Any help would be appreciated, in the mean time I will continue researching. Thanks

That is an awesome kit for a beginner...as most the bases are covered.

Since Autos generally take 1/4 to 1/2 of the concentrations of nutes, that's more than enough for your first 4 or 5 grows...depending on pot size.

Good to hear! Appreciate the reply!!

Yes get it don't even think twice, just trust me lol! I got one and sure wish I had found it on my first sad two rounds lol! Yeah my soil is organic now but this organic food is a good boost! I will be very gladly paying for it again as needed. The plants just absolutely love it, I ease them gently up to full strength and don't burn, but just be very careful technically it's darn near impossible to burn with organics but it is possible to make problems. Just ease em into 1/2 for awhile stable, then tiny bit by tiny bit ease them up more and should be good

Lol will do! Does it come with a feeding chart or anything? I have no clue what to give and when to give it, and if im not mistaken, autoflowers are different nute wise right?

Make it a third for GO, very good well rounded nutrient lineup. Just don't call them and ask them a question about growing canna, they will act like they never heard of such, lol. Yes it comes with a feed schedule and you can download one from their website also. Pasted below. Best of luck!

Is that chart for autoflowers or regular grows? Thanks for the advice lol

That would be for photoperiod stuff, no chart for autos exists (from GO) so the chart is good for adjusting quantities/concentrations down to auto levels but not as
good at depicting the time (weeks) that things happen. So you'll have to adjust that a little for the realities of auto's going into pre-flower vs. full flowering.

Generally, a good way to think about it is that veg cycle will end after all vertical growth of the plant has ceased. "pre-flower" will actually happen well before
that...all the bud sites will begin to exhibit pistils. You'll be tempted to make the nute flip to flower nutes at that point but just wait until vertical growth
stops then make the transition. The feed schedule will make that switch obvious as it will include flowering nutes to a much larger degree.

IIRC, usually the plant will have it's final stretch in the 40's (days)

It may be helpful to also look at TaNgs new feeding schedule...even though the nutes are AN not GO, you can follow the progression and timing.

GO flora series schedule for hydro is pretty forgiving
I have found that if you start at about 1/4 strength during veg
You can slowly bring them up to full strength by flower.

Ah yeah like Trapper said, the chart is good for photos and it's on the GO box too, it's what I go by but just half everything at first for awhile and build up. I use a plastic craft syringe set from ebay to measure it out of the bottles, e syringes are 5ml with ml markings, so if the GO box says to give 5ml per gallon, I start with 2.5ml, the syringe really makes it easy to do that.
