Jack Herer + Purple Haze Auto

Week 5 - 6 I forgot to update on so the same photo + description for both. 3rd pheno is stunted sadly. Jack Herer is growing well, she was super small in the beginning but all the LST is removed from all 4 sisters. I must really say from what I've observed is how pheno, genotypes respond to LST, defolation etc. is that proper genetics make all the difference. Nutrients, experience, hard/soft water + pH measuring doesn't mean shit and introduces too much cost. My advice: - Grow Autos outdoors (or indoors if you have money to burn) - Use molasses and microbes in your soil at a minimum. - Don't be afraid to top/FIM autos past week 4 because they can and will bounce back. - LST start of week 2/3/4 and then remove the stakes ~week 7/8 for autos depending on how it goes. - Re-use your soil and mix mushroom substrate in - Always fill tops of pots with soil to prevent roots from getting exposed (only when all your soil is dry!) - Hard/soft water (tap/rain water) works fine, you don't need RO water and all this fancy shit like pH paper/meters. It's important to have yes but I feel it's unnecessary, dechlorinated tap water and rain water is perfect. Also, no offense to breeders or seedbanks and I know autos have their place, but seriously, fuck autos. I'm moving to photos after this tbh, good learning experience but right now it's just a massive money drain. Autos are meant for outdoors!
