How old is your auto flower , but a nutrient feeding depends on the strain of the plant . If you know how to feed using ppm would be awesome but if not stick to the standard methods water , water , feed . Now for nutrients what can you afford is what you master first and grow as you grow , make sense ? General hydroponic , Fox Farm , Techna Flora , are good nutrient lines to learn and produce good buds , but Advance nutrients , Dutch Masters , ILGM , and now Humbolt is the high end nutrients that has produced great results for me only if you can afford them . For as light schedule you can do 18/6 in the first trimester on auto flowers and once it starts budding you can adjust the schedule to your likings , but I like experimenting in my grows cause I keep written journals on each grow for comparisons in bud quality and wieght , so I start with 24/0 for the first week , than second week 20/4 than 18/6 for 3 weeks which should be in the preflowering and the stretch , than I do 16/8 a week in week 6 than 14/10 to 12/12 into 10/14 until plant finishes . Remember intense light is how plants feed and produce but intense light in flowering decreases resin trichomes and extended dark periods help plants protect themselves by producing more resin trichomes during flowering to become pollinated to reproduce and protect buds , so by extending the dark period in late flowering help build lots of crystals of resin on your buds in my opinion ,hope this helps !!! ---

No you got it. Well planned. So are you gonna bury the airstone in the soil of the pot? Not familiar with the Mykos or the boogie brew. You are using aome things i havent seen anyone else use. So it has me curious ---

Yes airstone in the middle under root system. Mykos helps with bacteria the sun would make. Plants need proteins certain times. And its high in phosphorus. And its just crushed sea life. Its a spray on booster ---

And the boogie brew i use in all of my gardens. I have a big vegetables garden. I also grow carnivorous plants… They need alot of protein. ---

Hell ya i like that airstone idea. I was tryin to think how to get more air to the roots, i was thinkin of all kinds of chilish ways to pull it off. So what stage of grow will you use the protein on your autos? And i guess that bag of white chunks is rocks for drainage? ---
