mck47 Hey,
This will be the first time i want to do Automatics indoor. I only heard good stuff about Fastbuds so i chose to buy some from them.
This diary will be for the Lemon Chery cookies Auto.
I put some in soil 27.04.2025 and they sprouted 2 days later.
Im not sure if this plant will be in a pot or maybe go into living soil.
This will be the next project for indoor. I try to build my own living soil bed and ingredients. but atm the tent is still occupied with my drying plants.

mck47 - 04.06.
I Decided to replant the autoflowers in the living soil I put together about 1 1/2 month ago.
Grew some Phacelia, crimson clover, common vetch and yellow mustard for about 3 1/2 weeks and chopped it down.
The soil from the holes went on top of the chopped of plants.
Also did some defoliation, LST & watered them.
- 06.06.
Sprayed leafs with water mixed with aloe vera powder+magnesium
- 08.06.
LST & Watering.
Got some nutrients deficiency i see in on of the stem but Leafs and structure looks fine so far.

mck47 I put in some worms in the soil and just let it grow over the last week.
Flowering started to show and she really boosted in growth. Looks really good so far.
Will spray some water with magnesium on leafs today before lights will turn off.

This one grows really nice. the structure and the growth is just phenomenal.
Put some old salad & leafs from defoliation on top of the soil for the worms.

Will Probably harvest the next few days.

mck47 Took her down 29.07.
So from germination 27.04. it took 94 days to harvest. 👌
First time for me to grow in a living soil with only rainwater. I think it wasnt to bad for that.
Next time i will install blumat drip system and lolipop more / try to get higher stretch to get to the lower part of the plants.
If you have some input let me know 😁
Peace👌
@Nightowl_1, Heyo sure thing thank you!
I seen this recipe in GrowEmpires youtube video and adjusted a bit to the materials i already had with the help of ChatGPT
for ~240L I used:
73L peat (retains water & provides a habitat for microbes)
51L pumice (8/16 mm) (improves drainage & aeration)
22L rice husks (enhances structure & decomposes slowly)
90L worm castings (source of microbes & nutrients)
5.66 kg basalt rock dust (or volcanic rock dust) (micronutrients, silica, long-term effects)
1.1 kg dolomitic lime (source of calcium & magnesium, stabilizes pH)
1.1 kg oyster shell grit (fast-available calcium for root development)
1.1 kg calcium sulfate (gypsum) (calcium & sulfur for enzymes and proteins)
1.10 kg neem cake (pest prevention & nitrogen source)
1.22 kg malted grain flour (enzymes & supports soil life)
570 g crab meal (chitin for plant defense & microbial activity)
270 g activated charcoal (stores nutrients & improves soil structure)
700–850 g kelp meal (trace elements, plant hormones & enzymes)
Watered it. covered the soil with cardboard.
Let it rest for 3 weeks.
After that i planted some Phacelia, crimson clover, common vetch and yellow mustard for about 3 1/2 weeks and chopped it down and put worms in soil.
Thats basicly it. watered with rainwater, sometimes with aloe vera powder + EM cultures.
Topdressed 1x humid acid 3 spoons.
