haha nice man. yeah people think autos are fragile as dust but they are pretty tough. i just accidently snapped a brnach a few inches down when trying to train it about 10 days ago and it healed itself up fine.

Okay I'm gonna go ahead with that same mix got the stuff yesterday, gonna add a lil perlite and dolomite lime for pH balance. Man I can wait to see those FINISHED! You gonna use any nutes or no?
On that topic of nutes? I just want to ask if they're really necessary for grows?

Loving how your plants are looking. I'm hoping to have something like that in a few weeks.

Ya know I've just read and read about it and there are so many conflicting stories with different ways of mixing soils and adding this and that to amend either soil or feed water I REALLY DON'T KNOW! Makes my head spin at this point Lol, but I have skipped all the Veg nutes thinking the soil will take care of that with a little water multi total and take root to stimulate a good root ball then a gradual feed increase through bloom (starting real light like a silly 1/8 strength to see what it can handle) up until 2 weeks until a week or two before harvest depending how the leaves look. JUST GOING FOR THE DENSEST DANKEST I CAN GET LOL. HAPPY SMOKING!

So... 48hrs on and shes lookin for the light. You my friend are lucky. No dickin round, just lucky.
Its all strain dependant as for training, i would never push an auto of that age to horizontal but thats just me...

Good luck with your grow, looking good in there. Good start!

What is your humidity in there, if you don't mind me asking?

looking good, nice plants!

You may end up needing some calmag and possibly some potassium at flowering, other than that the soil should be plenty till then.

I have grown thru two crops using nothing but fox farms ocean forest and water, a little Cal mag in veg and that is it , I got eight ounces from three plants no snake oil,
Three grows ago I added some light on nutes to my ffof and got nitrogen toxicity bad went back to water only in ffof and grows have been great

Watch the feeding. I been doing all autos this year for indoor and 75% of them are light feeders. I had one strain this run ( purple express) that i fed once at 3 weeks near flower switch. fuckin thing was N toxed for a while lol. even after flushing salts and build up. good luck. heavy yields bro
I know all about N toxing autos lmao.

Be cautious man, also use veg nutes until they form some solid bud. I was giving mine straight bud nutes and they showed lacks they never recovered from. They are back green now but just little gals lol.

Went down to look at it and its already filling in nicely after 3 hours.View attachment 3787434
Hell yeah, thats badass. Great to see they popped right back. People say autos are weak but they are really only sensitive to nutes.
