New auto indoor grow of 1 plant

[somersetsue]

Hi , I want to grow 1 auto flowering plant, indoors, and treat it as a house plant. I have read that you can do this, but not a lot of info on it. Have germinated and put into my medium of soil from my grow center. It has sprouted and looks to be fine. The medium has nutrients and they recommend not to add anything for a month. So my question to all you experts, what should I be using for organic nutrition!!! I usually grow out doors and make a tea that percolates for 24 hrs. Any suggestions on what I can use in a month????
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS !!! 😸

In a month, your auto will be flowering. I am in your boat-except my photo tent will be flipping to 12/12 in a week, so I need to do my two autos inside. I used ff trio for my photos, so when the autos start to flower, I was going to start part 3 -at 1/4 strength- along with part 1, the guano/castings stuff. That's the plan, anyway.

Thanks Accidental Gardener, I have read that for auto's if you keep a grow light on the plant for 24/7 it won't start to flower, and you should wait for at least 6 weeks to keep a grow light on her. Can you suggest what wattage of a grow light that I should be using??? what I have is not very many watts and I only want to use a regular lamp for that grow bulb. I do like growing outdoors, and really don't want to start growing indoors and have to buy all that stuff. Would like more suggestions on some organic things to make a tea, and I know auto's like different nutrients that regular clones or seeds. Any help would really be appreciated.....thanks again
Thanks again......

Your info is wrong somersetsue. It will start to flower from week 3 onward regardless of light. Unless it is not a true auto flower or lets say " bad genetics " then if it's not flowering by wk 5 gotta change the light times to 12 on & 12 off. Stick it in a sunny window area. We grow weed to smoke not as houseplant. So this is all i'm given to this party post.

I am not an expert at this. I'm barely hanging on at this. You asked about nutes.
You may get some insight to what your "houseplant" needs by checking some of the articles on GWE regarding your chosen new hobby. That's what I did. https://www.growweedeasy.com/autoflo...vs-photoperiod

Those are just a couple.

You definitely can't do it like a pathos if you want to smoke it.

Yeah like SoOrbudgal says, it will flower regardless of time schedule because it is an auto flower plant. I thought it was strange you were going to keep an auto as a house plant...I think you were looking for photoperiod plants which will stay in veg until you flip to 12/12. Also never heard of this waiting for 6 weeks to keep a grow light on any cannabis plant. If you dont have enough light you will end up with a lanky tree as it will stretch considerably. I understand the novelty of having a cannabis as a house plant but just dont think you will find many here that want to waste space, lights and seeds for a non producing plant. The exception being those who have mother plants that they use for clones. Look into keeping a mother plant, which never goes into flower. But first you have to either get rid of the auto or grow it, and if you grow it you are going to need either HID or LED's to get any significant bud development.
