Mega Crop 1 Part, New Autoflowers, and when to first start nutrients and how much?

[BrettJA]

I am currently in week 2 with 2 autoflowers from mephisto genetics and was wondering when and at what strength I should start administering Mega Crop 1 part, I’m running a HLG 150w light in a 2x2 and soil is Fox Farms ocean forest. I’m just afraid of overdoing it this time around.

Hey those new autos look great. Ocean forest from what i've heard has enough nutes to last at least a month. And yours are doing great, colors are spot on leaf don't look malnurshised. I'd let them go for now maybe 10days or so begin that part A. Enjoy your grow, yours are ahead of mine by looking at them. I'm using 3gal fabric with a soil mix. My autos are from Mephisto i got 4 going Tues. will be 2wks since they popped out of the soil. My enviornment is not the best but it's what i'm used to growing with an in. I'm gonna water this a.m. no nutes just water. I put extra wormcastings and perilite in the mix and the soil is called Dr. Earth " mother load " keep us posted.

How often should I feed would you say that’s my last question.. every watering? Or every other.

I once used the mega crop all purpose i think it was that one. Got it as a freebie or close to free. Anyway it's potent stuff from what i recall and i do remember it stank bad in the pkg. LOL anyhow i'd use it about every 3rd watering and i've never used the bloom. Good luck and keep us posted. Oh go easy at first with that first feeding, like half of what it says to use and watch the plants see if there is any wierd/bad looking leaf changes. Takes about 4 days to see how they like it so just go easy. Right now my autos are 2wks old and i've not given anything other than water every 4 days for now.

I'm going to chime in. I just ordered an Octopot and a bucket and seed from Grow Peaceful.
I'm going to use the Octopot instead of the bucket.
The Octopot pot should be here today.

Still going strong!

Still looking great, gonna slowly start introducing mega crop as days go by. Gonna start feeding every other watering until need be.

Looks good! Be careful with the Mega Crop when you introduce it since you’re growing autos. During veg I feed my photos 5 grams / gallon of water. I would suggest you start at 1.25 grams and work your way up but I wouldn’t go over half of the recommended dose at any given point. Stuffs strong.

If you want a Mega Crop feed schedule I’ll post one that I transposed from @Captspaulding formula.

I would do what golden road suggested. Also as many before have stated, that shit is STRONG, so don’t do the “ oh that looks good” into the bucket out of the bag

 

[BrettJA]

Thanks guys, and yeah I’ve started at even under half the dosage and @TheGoldenRoad you can post it in a reply and I’ll save it.

Watered this morning, was taking a look this evening and was wondering if I should be concerned and are the leaves telling me anything with the slight droop on the right plant?

Hello, nice looking ladies! With autoflowers I've found success starting nutes between weeks 2-3. And at a 1/4 of the recommended dosage to ease them in. Then after 2 feedings that way and gauge plant response, I bump up to 1/2 recommended dosage. I've never had great success using full dosage of nutes for autoflowers. I've found i waste valuable grow time with autoflowers trying to fix overfeeding issues for an extra couple of fat colas. I use a 2/3 ratio mix of Fox Farm Happy Frog and cocoloco. Keeping a good amount of coco in the mix keeps your soil nice and ready for nutes so you don't overstimulate your girls. And it really helps when you're in late bloom and you are starting to flush those last 2-3 weeks of flower.
