when to switch nutes for autoflower plants

[DRSICE]

I have two auto strains ( la blanca and blue diesel ) and my question is when do you switch to bloom ferts and when do you ( if at all ) switch to 12/12. currently 4 weeks old with pre flowers on 24 hr light schedule with veg nutes.

Get the fox farms hydro nute chart and follow it... since autoflower plants vary adjust accordingly. If you aren't using ff nutes you can still get an idea of what fertilizer and when

I started with a 1/4 dosage of flowering fert while my plants were seedlings and they are doing pretty well. I didn't have the budget to buy fert to use for just a few days of veg. I am currently using tigerbloom at 1/4 dosage and big bloom at 1/2 dosage. The big bloom is just batshit and worm casing so you won't get burned from it. Watch your oh though

And no 12/12 stay 24 on or move to a 20/4 i don't understand why people switch light on auto flowers though. They aren't photoperiod so they don't care if the days are getting shorter or not. I guess if it is a ruderalis/ indica cross it may be good to switch to 20/4 during flowering
