Hi all. This is my first try to grow autos on budget. Ordered 15 seeds from seedstockers.com 5x Big Bud auto, 5x Amnesia haze auto and 5x AK420 auto. Seeds arrived in a week, germinated by soaking in RO water for 24h and used paper towel after. 100% germination, but one girl been damaged by accident. Planted germinated seed into 5x5gal fabric pots and 4x3 gal pots + 5x1L pots. Plan at start was to have 5x5gal pots in a tent. But as all seeds germinated I've decided to keep them all so used everything I could as pots ( pots, buckets and choped coke bottles). So now I have 9 plants witch I will LST, and 5 plants in aprox 1L pots witch I'll try to TOP and FIM. For this grow I've used soil with perlite, I have used Westland multipurpose compost with added John Innes. Nutes BioBizz grow, bloom and top max + calmag and mycorrhizal fungi. Any advice welcome

Tottal dry weight from 9 plans 440g and 28g from 5 solocups and about 100g of trimmings. Amnesia was highest yielder. They all shared 1.2m2 tent with 600w hps dual spectrum light. All grown in westlands John Innes No2 soil with added perlite and biobizz nutes ( grow, bio-bloom and top-max) diy calcium solution and epsom salts. For a first time grower with cheapest grow tent and light I think I did ok. Had some heat issues and some other rookie mistakes done, but overall very pleased with outcome. Got new batch off seeds germinating, so stay tuned in for new grow.
