My 2nd overall Autoflower grow. The first one is still in progress. Sprouted on June 22nd.
I wanted to start another grow because I became aware of some organic cannabis soil sold by a local grow store. I am getting into making my own soil but this is a great shortcut for now that allows me to get going on an organic grow.
The plan is to feed just regular water from the tap. It sits to evaporate chlorine for at least 24 hours before any watering.
Going to just use a spray bottle to keep the soil moist for the first week and then get some sort of cover down. Either living cover crop or some straw. Only issue so far was the medium got a touch too dry overnight and it sprouted with the shell clinging on. The shell removed easily but the membrane was still on. I sprayed it with water, let it sit for a couple minutes, and then extremely gently I nudged it. The membrane fell off! If it doesn't come easily let it sit and absorb some more moisture.
My first grow is in Promix using FoxFarm nutrients. Had issues with germination and then overfeeding. Not blaming the medium, but it is definitely tougher to dial in for Autoflowers than Photoperiod cannabis.
