Raised bed Auto Early Summer grow This grow wouldn't be possible without the generosity of @fastbuds who provided the seeds for this run. I asked for 10 seeds of the one strain as It will be a more uniform run with all plants flowering at the same time (hopefully anyway) . I particuarly like the Gorilla zkittlez fastbuds does so that is the one I asked for. The experiment I am trying is to see how well a bunch of auto's does in a mass planting scenario amongst companion plants under the Hot Australian sun. The raised bed I'm using is 2m x 1m and is filled with a soil blend that I have been building over the past 3 years . all ammendments are strictly organic and I add seaweed based supplements with some mycorhizae , compost teas, aged manures as needed. Over the winter I grew a good crop of peas in the same raised bed so hopefully that may provide a little extra available nitrogen . Since then I have been growing several companion plants for the auto's , Mostly Petunias , Marigolds , Spring onions and Basil. But there is also some Fat hen , Borage and Comfrey .ictus These were planted in order to act as beneficial companions to the cannabis plants , some are for bug and insect deterrance whilst others are for terpene enhancement and soil microbial enrichment . I know full well how autos need plenty of light hours during the vegetative stage to achieve any sort of decent yields . so I am giving them supplemental light via a couple of LED solar lights that come on at dusk for an extra 8 hours . The first 2 weeks of each plants life will be spent in the pots I started them in ( see above pics ) mostly to protect them until they are a bit bigger. Follow along and see if I can get any sort of result from my experiment or if its a complete shitshow 😬 Thanks for stopping by Grey_Wolf

Outdoors is tough, at least you got something and it wasn't destroyed by pests. I transplanted autos too late and they stunted, may be what happened here. Good luck next time.

I agree mate autos are hit and miss outside. I'm off fastbuds to be honest. Lately I've had a few runts and even one male! Merry Christmas to you and your Wolf 🍻

Interested to see if they require similar nutrients and how that will play out if not. Goodluck.

Those temps are no joke! That's about how hot it gets in my area once the summer hits. They look healthy.
