This bloody skunk auto was planted into a five gallon pot of soil, amended with Dr.Earth products.
For a 5 gallon bag I add:
4 cups WormCastings
4 tbsp HomeGrown
3 tbsp FlowerGirl
3 tbsp AllPurpose
this is mixed together in the pot, leaving a hole in the middle about 2 cups deep. I fill this in with plain soil, mixed with a little worm castings; about 3 tablespoons for the two cups of soil. I make a small depression, sprinkle a little Mycos in the hole, and drop the bean in. I cover that bad-girl up with a thin layer of soil and water in with ReCharge.
The soil is a mix of peat moss, perlite, and forest compost (wood chips, pine needles and the like)
I use dechlorinated, filtered tap water. I do not pH my water for watering, but it comes out the filter consistently at 7.1, I test every few months. My soil stays around 6.6 with all the microbial life.
Once this lady had successfully grown a second set of ProperLeaves, I topdressed about a half tablespoon of Guano, then covered the top soil with castings. I try to keep the distribution of guano at about the area where the fertilized soil meets the plain-soil, in which i planted the seed. I watered that in and and I'm watching her pop-off.
at two weeks i think i may top dress again with another tbsp or 2 of Guano because my last run has some excess Phosphorus and I want to buff up the Nitrogen levels for veg.
Skunky, purple buds. I wish I had done better. will definitely be running this again when a space opens up in my garden, and also added this to my re-buy list.
I didn't expect this to be huge, but i have learned that overwatering can stunt the growth of autos, and i think that those two variables caused the smaller stature of this plant. It produced adorable, skunky buds and I am absolutely going to try again. A very good smoke.
