Grow Support Autoflowers
1

First off, thanks for letting me be part of your community. Second sorry for a long post. Been twenty years since I’ve grown anything, college days, now stuck at home with medical conditions, sucks. Thought I’d try auto flower in pots outside. Hopefully something fairly easy.
I have fruity pebbles auto, I have happy frog,tiger bloom, living soil as amendment,5 gal white cloth pots, pH tester. Just a start. I’m guessing l will need lots of advice so thank you thank you thank you in advance. I’m in southwest Ohio. PS don’t think they had auto flower when last I grew😁

Welcome to the jungle!!
Autos are really fun to grow, for me anyway.
@kellydans is right about the feeding. Start out on the low side of recommended amounts to see how the plant reacts, then adjust accordingly.

Welcome aboard!!! I highly suggest getting the rest of the FF liquid trio, Grow Big and Big Bloom. And try to stick with one nutrient system the first grow or two. Autos can be reeeeeal finicky, as well. Some may just be a foot or less at harvest, some can be absolute monsters! This is also a great place, with many great growers who are all here to help! Good luck and happy growing!

If you don’t want to mess with mixing nutrients, you can get some fox farm fruit and flower 4-9-3, and once it starts flowering, top dress with it according to the amount listed on the package. It’s what I use, and it works great. Very easy, and effective.

Quick question, do you really need to wear gloves and mask when working with rock wool?
