Nutes and Autoflowers

[Afroman1]

I have 2 Autoflower seedlings a week old growing in soil under 300W LED light. Looking at starting Grow nutrients towards the back end of the week. Have bought the Ionic soil grow nutrients, recommended dose 7ml per 1ltr. Should I reduce this for first couple of weeks? Guy in the Hydroponic shop said not to bother but you here so much about leaves burning etc with too strong nutrients in young auto's. Any advice on feeding appreciated guys..

if the soil is fairly new, you won't need nutrients for a month at least, it's easy to overfertilize your seedlings and I never needed to, even with poor soil, nitrogen is good for growth but it can slow down rooting in seedlings and clones

Morning Afroman1, like we told you earlier, they don't need much nutreints when young, if you feed to much you really slow them down or worse, so yes just feed half strength whatever is recommended for seedlings, then if no damage, you can increase it a little your next feeding, but I'm telling you, you can really harm them with too much.Your doing a good job, will will catch on to feeding them easily.
