Best time to add nutes to autoflower grown in Miracle Gro Organic Choice

I know MG Organic isn't the best soil out there, but because I'm from up north all the garden centers close down during winter, and this is literally all I could find. I am growing an Auto AK47 x Auto Diesel lowlife, my first ever grow. I'm not quite sure about adding nutes to my watering however... I know MGO has "time release nutes" for supposedly 3 months, but I'm not sure if that will be sufficient. My plant is 4 days old, and about 1 inch out of the ground. Just giving it regular, purified water right now.

any input would be greatly appreciated, and thank you!

and just as a little FYI here is the ingredients/nuts in MG organic potting mix:
-Contains a blend of all-natural, organic ingredients: sphagnum peat moss and composted bark fines Natural fertilizers provide both quick- and slow-release feeding to get plants off to a fast start and keep them growing Delivers twice the growth of ordinary potting soil naturally Fertilizer Analysis

-0.10 - 0.05 - 0.05

-Also includes pasturized poulty litter and an organic wetting agent

I'm thinking I will add 2/3 MG organic choice, and 1/3 perlite and just give it purified water through vegetive. Then in 15-20 days when flowering begins, I'll give it some bloom nutes. Does this sound like it will work? I've been researching for about 5 hours now and this is about what I've come up with.

First, What kind of nutrients are you going to be using? If this 0.10 - 0.05 - 0.05 is all the soil is offering, I would consider those to be almost like trace amounts and supplemental nutrients are going to be required to grow the little auto to its fullest extent. and believe me you want it to grow good because they dont usually yeild to much . Auto AK 47 is my favorite and the most i've ever pulled on one was with scrog and it yielded 112 grams wet, Just over 32 grams dry. she was a monster. I would give it veg. nutrients at 1/4/ to 1/2 strength at about day 7-10 . and try to work up to full strength. BUT it is an auto and it will start to show signs before you know it .(day 15 on the early side - day 25 on the late) but usually about 18 days . And they flower violently , there gonna need all the nutrients they can get especially in the very short veg time they have. How many seeds did you aquire? Are they feminized? What kind of light is it under?

This is the right advice. I grow auto AK and you barely have time to give it grow before it needs bloom. Feed it veg nutes at 3 nodes and she'll be ready for watering a few nodes later and thats when you want to hit her with like 200ppm bloom nutes. She should really react to that. Then just feed bloom for the rest of the grow.

I like to use worm castings in the soil which will fortify the soil with N well for the first 30 days. Then I hit it once with 200ppm veg nutes around the 3 node and that's all I can fit into the picture.
