Good morning Nis and Canna, hope you enjoyed the long weekend. Guess what Nis? I have more questions surprise, surprise. Well I ordered some auto seeds to get me thru to the my next harvest. What size pot should I start them in should I up pot or start in my final pot and what size should that be(will be growing them outside) I use General Hydroponics trio and Cal-Magic should I feed the same as the photos. How long is the veg and flower periods and how should I adjust the nutes schedule accordingly and lastly top or not to top?. Sorry i am in a pinch and will only have one shot at this.

Sorry nis had to jump in. I'm all the time auto and I top every plant between days 14-21. You wanna plant in final pot and 3 gallons are plenty big. I get between 2-3 ounces a plant every 65-110 days depending and that's from germination. I have the same exact flora micro bloom from gh and calimagic also liquid koolbloom and liquid karma. After they pop I wait one week 7 days then feed at half strength then next time they need water give em plain water then next time full strength. And with autos you don't have much time your lights are set at 20/4 and won't change so your gonna feed feed then water repeat and imho I used to like to let the plants tell me when they want liquids but that doesn't give you enough feedings because of time restraints. You'll start to see pistils around day 30 but keep giving them veg nutes until around day 45-50 then switch over to full strength flower nutes and don't forget the molasses they love that in flower hope this helps brother.

I used to run my autos in 5 gallons and they would flower way before they got to the bottom but then stinky snid a member here told me about the 3 gallons and that's what he uses and his plants are literally picture perfect also it's way easier to train in a 3 gallon vs a bigger pot.

When I have to sex plants as soon as they germinate and pop I put them under 10 hrs of light by week 3 it'll be in flower and you'll know the sex then you pluck what you don't want and change the lighting schedule for the girls. It slows em up a couple weeks MAYBE but it's better than putting good effort and nutes into a male and the constant guessing
