Autos vs. photoperiod. Grow growing, made easy for the guy Who has no Free time.

[BeginnerGrower420]

My wonderful wife had got me a couple different strains from royal queen seeds.

I have a choice between auto flowers and photoperiod. I have only ever grown photoperiod plants and would be new to auto flowers. Looking for some input on which would be best and easiest I have limited income, but a fairly decent set up Viziosun grow tent 2 x 4. A Spider Farmer G 450 2 x 4 light. for the first two grows that I have tried I have used Fox farm fertilizer. I would like to use a dry fertilizer and more natural perhaps worm castings looking for a little input from the community.

Not looking for the highest yield, just quality. Hoping for maybe a natural fertilizer that I can use throughout the grow. If you could only pick one fertilizer to go with throughout a whole grow, what would it be?

We've grown the OG Kush and the Royal Creamatic, and we like both of them. As for advice, if you only have one tent, I recommend growing the same type of plants (photo or auto) at the same time. That makes the lighting easier.

My base soil is Fox Farm Happy Frog that has been recycled repeatedly. I use Gaia Green dry fertilizers with Epsom salt, gypsum and azomite when I mix soil. I also use earthworm castings, biochar and plenty of perlite. I use some water-in nutrients from Bloom City, too. These are Clean Kelp, Root Fertilizer and Silica Boost.

If you can grow 2 plants and stagger the time of germination i'd grow 1 auto and 1 photoperiod. Begin the auto first wait 6 wks cause it outta begin blooming by then on 18/6 on-off then germinate a photo seed and veg that for as long as you want 18/6 by the time another 6wks rolls by your auto will be well into late flower or nearly done and even flipping to 12/12 for the photo will not hurt it at all. I've done this many times. Pics of autos and photoperiods
