Advice for first time grower

I am a first time grower. I'm using a 4x4 grow tent with 3 600 watt LEDs, a grow bro CO2 generator and fox farm ocean forest soil. I'm currently growing auto flowers and I'm not quite sure when to really give nutrients or when to start a different light schedule. I know some people say keep lights on 24/0 some say 18/6 but does it really matter. I'm using 7 gallons smart pots and this is a pic of what they look like so far. These are 2 weeks since sprouting, any suggestions or advice would be great, thanks

I'm 18/6 myself with a small fan to remove 02

as you grow auto flipping to 12x12 is unnecessary

just stay 18/6 gives ya pets as rest

save some power for you allows cells to build

Fox farm is a hot soil ,many growers just use this soil the whole grow without any supplements

good luck

Awesome. Thanks for the advice. Do I need to do any topping to get more colas, I have heard autos don't do well with pruning or topping, any advice on that?

You might want to roll down your pot on that one where the plant is buried in the well, just to get some air circulation down there. Most autos don't get topped. Your leaf color is weird so not sure if it is your light spectrum or just soil being a bit hot.

They are regular, that's just the light spectrum reflecting. They look normal with regular light. I rolled down that one pot like you said, thanks for the advice!

How far should my LED's be away from my plants, I have them about 2 feet above them

Hey man,

Not a massively experienced grower but from what ive picked up is that if your plants arent stretching massively, then your light is probably just right.
