    As a general rule of thumb, treat them as seedlings for the first couple of weeks. By the end of week 3 most begin to flower. They have extremely brief veg periods.

    You should also be cautious with your nutrient ratios, especially for an auto. Start feeding at 1/4 recommended strength, and gradually increase to about 1/2.

    So, you can kick her some veg nutrients now, and then when she shows signs of flower (which will happen in a few days), you can switch over to that.

    Solid advice. Less is more with auto's

    Molasses is not a nutrient, what it does is provide food for the beneficial bacteria that help the roots absorb nutrients.
