Should I worry about this rich #4 soil from nectar for the gods and it being too rich for an auto?

Information is power, and it would be nice to see soil info for major brands being reviewed. Like strength of micronutrients, base ph, etc. If ever in doubt, I would use seedling only soil in a fibre cup, then transfer the whole thing into your permanent soil/pot. The buffer the seedling soil provides will allow the plant to strength its roots and plant structure to take advantage of the loaded soil.

Well, many growers will disagree, but I'm always using rich soil from the very beginning and had good results doing so. My theory is that autos with their limited lifespan are so eager they want to eat from the very beginning as much as they can get. But I'm not very experienced and this is not scientific at all. Might as well have been just luck so far...

well you already planted the girl...... If iam unsure if the soil is to rich i do it like this. I fill the pot with the rich soil, then i dig awhole in the middle and take some rich soil out, then i put a " poor // lightmix in the middle. so the sedling get " lightmix for the upcoming weeks, and if it gets older if get the richmix around. But as you are already planted the Seedling........we just can do some prayings that its not to rih, you will mention ist very fast if its to hot. The girls dont grow properly and discoloring. So we just hope for the best

@JDub21 Hi mate keep a close eye on the leaf tips for burning or whitening but if you just feed water as you suggested you should be ok I usually add a few inches of plain potting mix to the top of my soil pots as a "Buffer" between the hot soil and young roots but I think you'll be fine Check out my COP auto

Well I would have suggested putting a couple inches of light mix on top of your soil to help her adjust before she started but at this point I wouldn't worry about it. Just give her plain pH adjusted water for the first couple weeks at least. She looks pretty good. If the soil is too hot you will see Browning on the tips of those leaves that are just emerging. Good luck with your grow!
