Thank you for checking out my Big Devil Xl Auto-flower diary. I am still chasing the sun around my deck and front yard (on purpose, no extra light). I am happy with her rate of growth so far. I have noticed that I need to use a higher draining soil because I am not watering very often and the soil remains wet. I know you aren't supposed to transplant auto's, but should I in this case? I am thinking I need to go up to a 75% drainage and 25% sphagnum moss (its 50/50 now). The height is just an estimate because I have added top drainage to the top of last weeks soil.

Hello grower. If you want a nice yield you should at least take pots double the size you have now.. I give some additional lighting as well, the more light autos get the more they give me :) Good luck with your grow buddy. 👍

@CoastGrower, yea - I know right? My buddy is also partially as well so we are always looking for labor reduction and figuring out how much we need to grow for medicine, etc. and the easiest way to do it :). I set her out as soon as it gets above 50 so I would say she is getting 8-9 hours of light - some of it is partially shaded- just what I have to work with- chasing the sun around on my deck :) I figure this may be too minimal but still interested to see how many grams come out at the end. I really appreciate your input :)

@Stannabis, The pots are big enough to grow :) bigger pots just mean bigger yields. I’m partly disabled (sounds strange) so I don’t want massive plants :). How many hours of direct sunlight does the plant get?

@CoastGrower, Thank you for your suggestion. Please continue to follow my grow and give more suggestions. I agree with everything you said. My goal of this grow is to establish if the auto plant can be grown with minimal nutrients and minimal lighting (using only the sun). I am a disabled grower and have been using photo period plants prior to this. I am hoping to replace most of my photo period plants with auto flowers to ease the work load and use the photo period plants for breeding projects only. I never thought moving plants and transplanting would be so difficult, hoping to not have to do that with the auto flowers :)

If you want better results, try not to water too much and wait until the substrate is dry. Good luck! 😉 Sweet smokes, -Apolo

@Sweet_Seeds, Thanks a lot! So the plant did end up dying. I am gonna pop another seed but have a substrate that is a little over 50 % perlite since the sun isn't out as often. I appreciate a rep commenting! Stan
