So I think it is great to share the good and the bad so we learn. I have trouble sticking to the most basic rules. Trivia time! What colors are bad for the garden? People in wet climates really need to pay attention to this. So on my deck there was a red bucket of water (rain bucket). Next to it was a purple/blue ceramic planter with a plant that I was trying to nurse back. Anyways, this week I added some nutrient (2 oz dry). A couple days later I noticed some signs of burning. I have been chasing the sun on the deck like I said I intended to do from the start. Trivia Answer: Red and blue are bad. Someone please comment with a source, but I remember these were not good colors somewhere! So this week (late) some gnats started chewing on my plant. Remember the drainage issue? Also important in wetter climates or places that don't get a lot of sun. Hopefully she will bounce back and I will keep you updated. Thank goodness the outdoor custom strains are doing great and I will catch everyone up later this week (by Sunday). Happy 4th!

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
