Would anyone be interested in participating in an auto grow thread?

I wasn't trying to be douchey lol. Been a long night. I have to dig thru pics but I should have one somewhere
Me either, believe me how good anyone else does or doesn't grow impacts me none. Is that the longest plant you grew 15 weeks? I'm going to assume it was a real landrace? You grow those alot or have decent experience with them? I like Sativas more than Indicas but am not legal to grow so outside is a no no and i try to keep plants low count incase i got into trouble but always wanted to try some pure Sativas. I have some really good hybrids before, Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze, HSO Blue Dream and Green Crack. I have Sensi Durban and Serious Seeds Kali Mist i want to try but hear they are not as good as originally in the 90s.

Yes she was legit landrace. I love a good sativa but I highly doubt i touch anything with that long of flower again. I really need to find a good, fast flower time strain to start perpetual. I have a ton of G13 haze x Acapulco gold beans. Maybe i can get you some, if you enjoy sativa

Miracle Grow is notoriously bad for MJ growing. You will not get good plants with it. Finished? Definatley. Good quality ir yeilds? Definatley not. If you choose to go cheap route and use it, filter out half of the time released fert balls in there so its not so hot and loaded with improper nutes/ratios and begin feeding sooner with MJ quality nutes. Good luck on the grows though.
Or just use regular mg and feed them that way... I don't use anything but MC now though...

I am getting ready to start an indoor auto grow and I would love to see other people's auto grows. Would anyone like to join me in a 2019 summer auto grow? I am going to be growing 2 autos. A fast buds Rhino Ryder and a fast buds Smoothie auto.
I'll play. Just dunked 10 seeds. 5 pack of FastBuds Blue Dream'matic and a 5 pack of FastBuds Girl Scout cookies. Tomorrow they will go in paper towels and then straight to 3 gallon cloth pots. Soil is 50/50 FFOF and HomeDepot Top soil. Then 20% perlite. 1/2" of worm castings on top.

Where is the final pics if you don't mind? Also in his pictures you can clearly see leaf discoloration on the pic named MG soil. Just offering my opinion, not an attack on you're growing styles. You're harvest and you're smoke.
No offense taken. I just wanted to do a side by side comparison myself... Just to see how bad or how good the miracle grow performed vs what most consider to be the gold standard for bagged potting soil.

Honestly you can even get bag soil better than FFOF. Try looking at Royal Gold Basement Mix. Believe its a red and black bag. I use coco to grow in. I use Royal Gold Tupar. It is a faster drying coco and can be watered/fed up to 6 times a day to preform like hydro. I hear bery good stuff about the Basement Mix.

I know ffof isn't "the best" soil... But it is generally considered very good stuff and is widely available... That is why I said "gold standard"

The 2 northern lights autos went outside tonight... Have my fingers crossed everything goes well. I LST them right before I took them out. These are the 2 on the left. The diesel "front right" and northern cheese haze "back right" will go out this weekend.

After soak, put all 5 the BD's in paper towel. The GSC, only one seed sank, so I put that one in paper towel and left the rest to soak until they sink or 12 hrs, then they go into paper whether they sunk or not.

I use jiffy pellets to germinate my seeds. Not the regular size. They make jiffy pellets sized extra large for tomatoes. Screenshot_20190612-155512~2.png
I use these in a 7inch humidity dome with a heating mat under the tray. So far I have had about a 99% success rate. Of the 70-80 seeds I have germinated this way the only one that didn't sprout was a freebie that I didn't think was any good before I even planted it. It has been a long time since I have used the ol paper towel method. Good luck to you and send us some pics of your sprouts when you get them.

So the royal cookies and royal creamatic have doubled or trippled in size this past week... But they are getting munched on a little by critters. Not bad, but enough that it makes me not want to grow outside anymore. IMG_20190612_164012.jpg IMG_20190612_164029.jpg IMG_20190612_164119.jpg IMG_20190612_164126.jpg
