This is a second attempt at growing an auto strain. I have, this time, planted in a neutral (read: non-fertilized soil) and will be feeding with half-strength liquid nutrients.
The soil is 2:1:1 ratio Ecoscraps 1/4" sifted, with 1/4" compost, and perlite
I am growing this in a 32 gallon Brute can "Space Bucket" that I whipped together in a few hours. I chose the space bucket method for this auto grow because I can keep it separate from my photoperiod grow currently ongoing which will save space in the grow tent and allow me to better control the growth of the auto flower plant. Height is an issue for this plant, so I will be doing some LST on it in a circle growth.
Light: 300W (90W true) Roleadro "UFO" LED.
