Alright so the spring season is upon us again, and we’re gearing up to do more plants then ever!!
Many of you may know this but I can’t grow an auto for the life of me…So my buddy had an idea “ mix up some living soil and drop a few auto seeds and see what lives!
My idea is to get 2 auto grow into the next 9 months if I move quickly!
Haven’t dropped seeds because I enjoy being stressed out over the simplest projects….
Living soil came in yesterday and got few yards of soil to mix it into…
For some reason I thought it be a good idea to jump in the dojo with the kids for parents month…day 1 sore AF!
So I got natures living soil original and a bag of natures living soil autoflower
Im just starting my build a soil light recipe,I have it soaking and microbes added to get it going, i do have beer barley and cloverseed for ground cover. My instructions to get it cooking al least 4 weeks before use.
@PharmerBob looks like youre covered there. Im pretty sure you can flip two grows this season. Thats really what autos are for is so outdoor growers would be able to flip 2 grows a season. They just hype it up and make it seem simple for beginners when in reality its not. I have a buddy thats been growing photos for a while and is going to try a few autos outdoors this season too. Hes big into vermicomposting so hes using all worm casting with his autos. With the line of soils that you have at your disposal, you should have no problems… im a huge fan of Coast of Maine. Hopefully youll become a fan too!
shocking Grow Bro from checking out your runs of photo period plants here the last few years. No help with the living soil but might could help with autos if you need it
Ive never personally mixed anything with COM but perlite and vermiculite. I do start adding dry amendments with a worm casting topper at 4 weeks, then again at 8 weeks. A week before i flip i add COMs buds n bloom and then 4 weeks into flower ill add another helping of Buds n bloom along with WC and let er rip…
Just add water need to try something else. Had less problems with Walmart potting soil than the others.
Im still learning as I go some information is beneficial some not. Everyone here has been great.
Heres a good shot of 6 week old veggies ive been manifolding and femming the whole time… nothing but COM and i added COMS plant food about a week ago. Water only just adding tribus twice a week.
Don’t know about coast of Maine… there’s two bags of it pic looks like one… tried to have equal amount of happy from and coast of maine
Anyone add humic / fulvic acids? Humic is granular and fulvic is powder…it’s what I imagine the dirt from a grave to smell like…not stinky but there’s a weird smell to it…sorry rabbit hole
I think there are both humic and fulvic in NLS’s living soil. Also, if you haven’t opened the bags of living soil, just be prepared when you do. The smell is worse than the dirtiest diaper you could even imagine! Lol, multiple gag moments
