about autoflowering

I recently floundered my way through a modest harvest of a mostly sativa autoflower. I grew on my patio with little more than putting the seed in off the shelf soil and I started adding bat guano as it began to flower. I probably made every mistake imaginable and yet harvested about a half oz of some amazing smoke. Tastes great and super high. I can only imagine what is possible by applying some of the techniques acquired from this forum. I plan to grow indoors this time so as to control alot of the factors that I believe affected my first try. Now to my question. I plan to use soil again and want to get something a bit more sophisticated as well as using a better nutrient plan. However since the autoflowering plant spends so little time in veg growth do I need to use a nutrient geared to veg or would my results be as good by just focusing on flower nutes. I plan to expand my gardening to more exotic and larger producing plants someday but for now I'm on a gigantic learning curve. Thanx for any and all advice.
Peace

What strain of auto did you grow? I've only grown autos outdoors, but here's a good thread devoted to autoflower growing with many indoor growers:

Many people, myself included, use Fox Farms soil and nutes but there's plenty of other stuff that works good too.

Man, that was quick. Thanx for both tips. I checked out the other forum and am about to take a look at fox farms in about a minute. Maybe being bored at work ain't so bad after all.
Peace, BS

I would worry more about flowering nutes then veg. The soil should have more than enough nutrients to get it through the super short veg stage. Auto's like lots of room for the roots to grow so put them in the biggest/deepest pot you can. Good luck!
