What are the Requirements for Growing Auto-flowering Marijuana Seeds indoors?
You need to remember the following important things when you are growing autoflowering marijuana indoors:

So from the beginning to the end of the grow, you should use 18/6. The light cycle is not strict with auto-flowering strains because they will flower regardless of hours of light used. They are dependent on their age. However, they still need light so do not deprive them of that.
2. Soil Used
Auto-flowering marijuana strains like airy soil which are relatively low on nutrients. Standard pot soil is not appropriate for auto-flowering strains. It is always better to buy your soil from specialized gardening stores or grow shop and always go for the light mix.
3. Nutrients
Auto-flowering marijuana strains are not much of a feeder. You won’t have to feed your plant during the first 12-14 days. You only need to water it and that’s it. After that period, you could start adding nutrients and continue it until the plant is flowering.
4. Size of Grow Pots
