New grower, I need advice

I'm a new grower, using a 400watt tent set up. Plants are about 4days old after sprouted. Just wondering how they look and if I should start to use nutrients. It's candy cane auto flower. Won't let me put up a pic off my phone

your new that is why the pics were not allowed ......u have to get a few posts in and likes plus some time ....it keeps the place from getting photo bombed with horrible things

1 what kind of soil do u have it in ....how much soil
2 what feed are u talking (alot of times ppl do not have the complete kit)
3 are u talking a 400w MH bulb or something else

as for feeding it now yes u can just use your rooting and light bit of grow

I wouldn't feed till around 2 weeks let the plant grow a little usually when the third set of leaves come through I'll start with half dose and go from there 4 days old is way to early you will probably fry them

I'm using root organic soil in 5 gallon bags. I have a 400 watt mh bulb which there under now and I have a 400 watt hps bulb for flowering stage. They look good right now other than one looks like it has A different shades of green on it. I have root organic grow and bloom

Any help or advice would be great, I need and solid guy on here to help me if you have the time and will...thank you all

Roots organic soil is good for 2 weeks easy.make sure to ph your water and at 2 weeks I feed at 1/4 strength and work to full strength by the time they star to flower. What are you using for feed?

I'm using root organic grow and bloom, there just one week old, I'll post pics tomorrow

Autos have very short veg stage .and will likely preflower near 30 days.
Run 18/6 all the way thru harvest , these are not dependent on regular photo light schedules.

Here is a simple feed plan :

2 week(start of vegetative) – Ph adjusted water
-------- Or 1/4 veg nutes ------
3 week(vegetative) – Ph adjusted water

4 week(pre-flowering) – 1/2 veg nutes

5 week(first flowers) – 1/4 bloom nutes

6 week(flowering) – 1/2 bloom nutes

7 week(flowering) – 1/2 bloom nutes

8 week(flowering) – Ph adjusted water

9 week(flowering & harvest) – Ph adjusted

Probably need to lower your light... But be careful. Use the hand test, if it's too hot on the back of your hand after 10 seconds it'll probably burn your plants...

After week one

Stem doesn't look long or stretchy to me... Look good

Yeah they look a lot better now, and are growing fast, will have week two pics on sat. Stay tuned and thanks

Week two, 1/4nutes how they look I seen a Lille drooping?

How much and how often are you watering? If you're over or under watering you will see a little droop. But only your first pic looks the tiniest bit droopy. Look great other than that to me.... I'd be happy to have them

what strain are these?

If you're using fabric pots, which it looked like you are. I find it easier to go by the weight of the pot rather than the dryness of the soil. If that helps. I have also found finding a water schedule and sticking to it is optimal, but I don't have a ton of growing experience yet just read a lot of books...

There a plastic type of bag, I got that kit from htg supply, the 400 watt soil kit. I been checking my soil by fingering it..lol

I started that way too then when my plants got big I started hitting roots when I would check so I switched to the weight method
