My first auto flower grow.
This Fastbuds LSD-25 auto flower was started on 12/29/20.
Starting the seed I soaked it in a peroxide water solution for less than 20 hours. Then I placed it between 1/8 and 1/4 inch below the surface of my medium lightly covering it. I used 5ml of aerated tap water to wet the soil lightly on and around the seed. Then I used a old baby food container as my dome.
My soil is made by “Detroit Nutrient Company” their “Water Only” living soil. I mixed one cup of both a 4-4-4 and a 3-9-4 by “Dr. Earth” into one bag or one cubic foot of soil. Along with 3.5 pounds of worm castings made by “Detroit Nutrient Company” I then filled my 7 gallon fabric pot with this mix.
I cored about a large red plastic “Solo”cup worth of space out of the center of my grow bag. I mixed “Dr. Earth’s” seed starter mix and “Detroit Nutrient Company’s” worm castings in a 50/50 mix (half a red plastic cup worth of each) then added 1/4 teaspoon of “Great White’s” premium mycorrhizae. I mixed those three throughly and proceeded to fill my core hole.
I did this in hope that it’s a less hot mix for the plant to start in without having to be transplanted.
She broke the soil on 01-01-2021.
I was considering the Detroit water only soil, I always see it at the hydro store I visit in Livonia. I’ll have to keep an eye on your diary to see how she does. Good luck! 🤙😎
@Burn_N_Fields, That’s awesome!! One day I will have to try it out for myself!
It could be a little hot considering DNC water only soil is packed full of nutrients. But you can always just fertigate with plain spring water and reduce the ppm/ec of the substrate if it is too strong!
Now if you want to support even more local, check out a guy named Chef Izzy. He is a local Michigan auto flower breeder and his seeds are absolutely 🔥🔥🔥!
Look up Izzy’s Autoflowers. I’m going to be growing his Orange Pound Cake after my girls are finished!
@FreshCoastOrganics,The place I went to get most of my setup recommend it to me so I went with it. The fact that it’s a Michigan made product helped me pick it I like to keep my money local when I can. And we’ll if I’m going to buy dirt I might as well buy some from the prettiest state in the union. 😂 I hope that by adding the Dr. Earth to it I didn’t make it too hot for the autos. Only time will tell. I’m going to try to stick with posting stuff as it happens. Hopefully all will go as planned.
