Hi there. I'm on day 12 1/2 and I dont plant on using veg nutes until wen since I gave her a good watering the other day..my question is would it hurt if I skipped veg nutes all together? Since it normally flowers at three weeks I'd only get to give her veg nutes 1 time anyway.. My veg nute is MG all purpose.. My flowering nutes are expert gardener all purpose 15-30-15
 
i would strongly recomend using veg nutes till at least week 5-6 for best end yeild.. If you skip veg nutes it just means it will finish quicker and you will lose over 50% yeild
 
Hey there Savin53, can I ask what strain you are growing? Is it fully autoflower? If it is, then you would benefit from using veg nutes well into her flowering stage. If veg nutes are used all the way until vertical growth stops you will no doubt end up with a larger overall plant, and I assure you she will fill out just the same. Many auto strains benefit from veg nutes all the way into week 6/7, but this depends on strain and many other factors.

Some more info on your grow will be very helpful to give us a better idea of what exactly you have going, more info = better advice = better budz :booya:

Cheers :smokebuds: L4
 
Yes, veg nutes till vertical growth stops, usually around week 6. Also, ditch the MG and get something more suited for growing weed. At 24-8-16 their General Purpose has a bit too much K for veg and that Expert Gardener a bit too much N and not enough K for flowering. If you're limited to the big box stores, look for Better Gro Orchid nutes.

If you haven't read this already, take a look. Should give you a good idea of what to expect from your plants. https://www.autoflower.org/f44/life-cycle-auto-flowering-cannabis-5113.html
 
agreeing with most people here. just remember, these are autoflowers, they don't usually like heavy nutes. start SUPER light, like 1/4 of whatever the manufacturer recommends, and see how the plants respond. i like to then keep upping it slowly, watching closely for any sign of nutrient burn. best of luck!
 
Well.. I really don't want a big plant. I'm growing malana bomb. I wanna produce a yeild of atleast 15 grams.
