I have read some of that and always hold myself back from saying anything.Half of it is made up BS.Not to feed an auto for 3 weeks is dumb.thats almost a 3rd of its life cycle.And not to give much light.All that is retarded.
I give my babies all the light and food they want or need.I promise you head to head with that guy ill grow triple the size and produce triple the weight on any lanky,spindly sickly plant he produces.
here are some examples,
febuary 9 2017
400 PPM of nutes,roughly almost half strength of reccomended dosage per GH.plants are roughly a week old.750 watts OF HID 20 inches overhead.
View attachment 702731
11 days later up to around 550PPM half of recommended dosage.autos are loving life.1000W HPS 24 inches overhead.
this is roughly 3 weeks in.If i was feeding them tiny amounts as that guy suggested i would have 4 inch plants and half ass stunted for the rest of the grow.

13 days after that roughly 30 days from the time they sprouted 6 plants filling up a 4x5 screen under 1000W HPS.now they spend the rest of there life cycle approx 45 days building flowers and getting fat.thats how you get the most out of an autoflower.Not starving them to death for nutes and light.

I read it all and assuming your soil is from a ditch or bagged store bought i dont believe the author described his soil as being hot.He just said dont feed em nothing for 3 weeks.
Medium dont matter.Seedlings can handle nutrients and light and this is the biggest BS i read on these forums from people who relay second hand info.Heisenbubble dont talk from hear say i talk from what i have personally observed through a little trial and a shit load of errors.
heres your pics.
First is 12 seeds all started in peat pellets.I put 6 in hydro 2 in dirt pots.Both of these sets of plants are fed the exact same nutrients.1/4 strength grow,floralicious full,calmag,and rapid start.the soil is roots organic already PH tested locally.I do not and refuse to just start throwing crap in my soil without numbers.Why would anyone ever add lime to soil with an already high PH.LIME DOES NOT NEUTRALIZE soil it raises it.
Anyway here are the 2 in dirt all under a 8 bulb 56Wx8 T5HO

Its obvious DWC is going to beat out the soil but i could and have added more nutes to the soil in dirt up to half strength on 1 week old plants as long as you are giving them the light to metabolize the nutes.Low light high nutes is a recipe for disaster.
I dont wanna push these plants because i need them to go outside in a couple weeks and dont want them to outgrow the air pots.I am giving them nutes straight from that white pipe that is down in that tote.

I have been growing since i was 8 years old and im 42 brother.
as you can see DWC crushes soil IMO especially in early growth but heres more pics for your enjoyment.I have grown plenty in soil and always feed my babies as soon as they crack the shells off the beans and HAVE never cooked a plant.
all these were in FOX FARM ocean forest and organically fed the BIOBIZZ line and never burnt nothing

One is significantly nicer than the other haha
I hear a lot from both sides about defoliating and or topping autos, personally I still defoliate lightly. Never anything too drastic as they are more seseptible to shock but yeahDo you defoliate a Auto I thought you are not supost to with autos as it will shock them?
