AkJano Decided to try growing some auto flowers in the ground up here in Alaska. Iāve grown tomatoās in pots and in the ground before and the ones in the ground do so much better Iām hoping that it holds true for these girls as well. I mixed in some sunshine mix #4 into the top 3 inches of soil and sprinkled some Gaia green all purpose, and bloom around the plants. Also added tomato cages for when they begin to bud.. They seem to be growing well so far. Excited to see how it goes!
