I plan on growing autos. Most seem to say ffof's nutes last 3-4 weeks. Can i rely on the soil to bring the autos to flowering, only requiring bloom nutes (plus extras depending on medium) ?

Since its my first grow, I've been trying to plan something simple so this seems like the logical choice. Is it worth using ff nutes ( grow big and tiger bloom) or will a basic 2 part flower formula ( im leaning toward AN sensi bloom) suffice?
My second option is premixed coco coir/perlite using AN sensi grow/bloom coco.
I plan on using 3 gallon fabric pots of that makes a difference. The foxfarms option is a little cheaper, but I've heard good things about coco coir as well.First grow started on April 17th, 2019.

Is it worth mixing in some happy frog, or just putting a 2-3" layer of it on top for the seedling?First grow started on April 17th, 2019.

Don’t know about autos... but my photoperoid plants only last about 2 weeks in FFOF before they need to feed. Best to judge based on the plants reactions.
Container size will be the most significant veritable in this equation. A large enough container will last longer than my 2 week bench mark while a smaller one will last less.4x4 600w HID empty for summer
3x3 400w HID with Bruce Banner and Skywalker Kush
2x2 65w Quantum Board LED with 4 mother strains
running all simultaneously for a perpetual harvests.

heres a question if you have to add nutes to soil whats the point of using it I always thought you grew in soil so you didn't have to use nutes ,, during my outside grows I use soil and no nutes except pk boosters in bloom , this isn't a slam I'm really interested and dont understandnew grow room built summer of 2017 ,argo max tent for veging ,big kahuna reflector, 1000hps with added leds for the full spectrum . 15th indoor grow ,5 years outside gorilla grows(stealth is the key),veg under t5s growing autos under 300w leds

If you use living soil or a real rich soil from a fertile area, mixed with perlite, you dont need nutrients. If you use potting soil you do need nutrients, unless you use it to make living soil.
Soils like ffof cover you for a couple weeks and on most autos you only need bloom type nutrients. You can use all organic products with it unlike reservoirs. But if just learning coco is easier to learn. But some like me are set in our ways. I think soil grows taste and smell better. Although generally they start out growing a bit slower.
In the end it's all just personal preference or what you know.

so I use roots organic green fields and coast of Maine soil I thought they were super soils and don,t add nutes ,now I'm thinking I should????????

If I'm remembering correctly coast of Maine soil is like kind soil? If so other than teas and molasses you shouldn't need anything. But I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the right one. I know their is a company near you that makes living soil similar to kind soil and other super soils.
