Daiquiri Lime Auto ::: Spring Outdoor

The basics: I am doing this grow as an experiment to see if I can do early spring outdoor autoflowers here in Northern California. I'm starting this seed inside, and will veg it in my garage tent for ~3 weeks under my Spider Farmer SF1000. After that, she'll be moved outside under the California sunshine! --------------------------- Medium: As a base soil, I'm using Down-to-Earth all-natural potting soil. I've never used it before, but I've been impressed by the quality of their amendments, so I thought I'd give them a shot. https://downtoearthfertilizer.com/products/soil-amendments/all-natural-potting-soil/ I have mixed up a bunch of light super soil, and it has been cooking for 2 months. Good visible myco growth on all of it, and I filled the bottom 20% of the pot with this mix. Since the DTE soil is likely a little hot for a seedling, and I've read that transplanting autoflowers can cause issues given the lack of recovery time for autoflowers. Therefore, I created a crater in the soil and filled it with EB Stone seed starting mix. That's where our bean will get started. I'm calling this the "crater method". After a week, the roots will be down in the DTE soil... and they'll be down in the super soil by week 4. 2021 Supersoil Recipe Makes ~8 cubic feet 7 cubic feet of high-quality potting soil (4.6 bags) .5 cubic foot worm castings 1.25 lbs. bone meal 1.25 lbs. fish bone meal 2.5 lbs. high phosphorus bat guano 2.5 lbs. blood meal 1.5 cups oyster shell 1.5 cups kelp meal 1.5 cups alfalfa meal 1/3 cup Epsom salts 1/2 cup agricultural lime 1 cup Azomite 1 tbsp. granular humic acid 1 tbsp. mycorrhizae (Mykos) --------------------------- Nutrients: My plan is to not give any nutrients for the first 3 weeks, then I'll start watering in the Foop line, which I'm excited to try out. If it goes well, I'll likely grow my other autoflowers (germinating those in mid-march) using Foop as well. Additionally, I've been going down the KNF rabbit hole as of late, so I'll likely be foliar feeding some IMO (indiginous microorganisms), LAB (lactic acid) and some FPJ (fermented plant juice) that I am currently making from some particularly vigorous clover that grows on my property. --------------------------- Water Source Germinating using distilled water. Charcoal-filtered and pHd tap water will be used for veg and flower. 2/21 Planted and watered with distilled water. Used sprayer daily until sprouted. Kept seed "greenhoused" under clear plastic dish. 2/25 Surfaced.
