Hey there, I'd go for a soil with relatively low Nitrogen but still you're going to need some ! I don't know any brands because I try to make my soil myself but except for Nitrogen I wouldn't worry about a different soil for autoflowering plants ! Happy growing :)

Для автоцветов рекомендую брать почву с хорошим содержанием фосфора, а не только азота! Так твоё растение будет легче и быстрее переходить из вегетации в цветение! Почва с высоким содержанием азота и с очень низким содержанием фосфора (часто дешевая почва из цветочных магазинов) будет плохо влиять на ваши растения на протяжении всей их жизни! 👆 Обычно почва для каннабиса в своём названии говорит о своём предназначении! в интернете есть рекомендации почвы к выращиванию конопли 👌 Одна из знаменитых и популярных почв этой фирмы https://foxfarm.com/ Удачи, бро! ✊😇

Yo yo, so I just started germinating my wedding cake autos, and the regime I am following is calling for pro mix bx by myco, a soilless soil to be in control of the nutes at all time

Stay away from any amended soils, they tend to be a little too rich for auto flowers. I like using Roots Organics Original, its got a good mix, works well for cloth bags, and I've yet to have it burn a seedling. I'd stay away from the Roots Organics LUSH or Fox Farms Ocean Forest as they are very "hot".

Diary Name Forgot to mention that the name for the diary is because MSNL sent the Auto Widow and Auto Pineapple Kush for free with my order of Auto Northern Lights. Ironic that the Northern Lights were the ones to not germinate. We'll see if scarification helps.

There's an inspection of my flat next week. While I'm not breaking any local laws, I still need to move my plants from my grow tent. Just for an hour or so. My plan is to snip the netting, and stake the plants. Any other/better ideas?

Synthetic or Decarboxylated THC for vape juice.Thc vape juice. Do you need to use Decarboxylated bud, flower or trim to make a good quality product to be used in a vape or could I purchase a synthetic thc powder to use which would give the same effect?
