Has any one grown Auto Flowers in Super Soil?

I was thinking about doing some auto flowers in super soil.. anyone done this?

SS might be a lil hot for autos. i got a few masterlows in plain roots organic soil and there doing just fine.

So just plain roots organic from veg to harvest?

some guano and molasses during flower, but nothing much. autos dont like that much food.

when you say guano and molasses during flower, explain please how do you add them Thx

i mix 1/2 tbs of guano and 5ml of molasses in 1 gallon of water. i only do this once or twice.

no problem buddy. autos sometimes get a bad rep, but im diggin them. im building up my seed stash for the spring right now. looking forward to 2-3 OD harvests then taking the fall off (harvest season). rippers n cops dont look for plants OD in May. lol

Good man! +1 im on the same path

I mixed my own soil up for auto's and its working very well..
Consists of
1.5cu.ft FF Ocean Forest
1.5Cu.ft FF Potting mix with Earthworm castings and Bat guano
1.5cu.ft Premium Topsoil
2 bags of MG Perilite
this mix is still pretty hot, but not near as hot as SS, and it will provide you enough nutrients for 60+days if you really dont want to feed. I found with my situation, in 2gallon pots its best to feed my autos every 3-4 waterings @ 1/4 the lowest strength recommended on the bottles. but in say a 3-4 gallon pot you shouldnt have to feed an auto, just water.

this is just a theory as i've had nothing to do with the autoflowering variety, but don't they run a very short cycle (thus the appeal?) and if that is true, isn't super soil not only a bit hot but also a little long lived for autos advertised to go from seed to weed in like 60 days? the last time i grew in dirt, my gals went almost 60 days in veg and it still had enough juice to see them through another 60 days of flowering... sub or another of the more advanced breeders may have more insight into this, but it is my theory that this will be proven to be true once tested on a large scale...

I have had great success of going from seed to weed in 55 days flat. Avg of 1 to 1.5 iz per plant in 2gal of soil. Although I used liquid nutes last time. And they can flower while my other plants veg under the same light cycle.

im sure you did, I am not saying you cant have the dankest weed in auto's, im sure you can.. I just don't get why? why did you buy the auto in the first place? what was the appeal of not being able to control when it flips?

outdoors is the only place i can see the need fr these, so im obviously missing something..

thanks for the help

ps really im trying to understand whats the appeal.

i like autos because some times a month is to long to go with out meds. with regular seeds it would be 3 months min even if you did 12/12 from seed. they were a god send when i moved and lost all my cuts. also in my gurilla garden i can get 2-3 harvests a year OD with out having to visit them as much. pretty much after the males are gone i ignore it till i chop. ease of growth and being able to take the fall off is why they appeal to me. extra meds out of the veg cab is nice too.

after the first batch of beans it would not be necessary to buy them because its so much fun making your own beans. im on f4 from the batch of masterlows i was given over a year ago.

ahh I see the outdoor grow for sure, and I had not thought about getting a grow in super fast, I kinda figured seed with manual flip could be done as fast as an auto. I have never run auto, and that is why I asked the question, thanks for the answer =)
