hello
those that know me know i am a crazy ass mad scientist trying to figure out a repeatable system for any auto flowering strain that will make some killer shit and allow me to leave and have a lay person keep to my plan
i think i got it
it is a combo of super soil mixed with a modified organic chemical feed system to add on to what is already there ...and to counter as some strains are mag hogs or cal hogs or just want more and more and more
a auto flower is a Feed based plant ........if u can maintain the correct lvls with out any flux the plant can be tricked into longer veggie stages and flowering stages ....this also means u can flip them into flowering too by altering the feed
sorry if a ramble this is 4 years of work mashed into a experiment u can repeat to prove or disprove
super soil mix
roots organic greenfield base soil 2 bags (1.5 cf ones)
http://www.aurorainnovations.org/green-fields.html
roots organic elemental .........1/2 cup
http://www.aurorainnovations.org/elemental.html
special lime ......1/2 cup
https://www.amazon.com/Dolomite-Magnesium-Greenway-Biotech-Inc/dp/B00OEEGCHS
azomite...........1/4 cup
myko..............1 cup
https://www.amazon.com/Xtreme-Gardening-RT4402-Mykos-2-2-Pound/dp/B003STB5N6
blood meal ........3 cops
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CO80OM
bone meal .........3 cups
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000COBYMC
Langbeinite.......1 1/2 cup
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VJN96LG
now u need 4 other things
1 is more soil to use in upper part of planter
2 bio live .....this is for adding half cup to the upper part of the planter soil (help with shock)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VJN8XTC
3 epson salt
4 humic acid
https://www.amazon.com/TeraVita-SP-90-Humic-Soluble-Powder/dp/B00912FRO2
u mix up the super soil on a tarp get it all spread out then flip into pile rack out flip into pile rack out (make sure u turn the rack upside down so prongs in air not to rip tarp) ......put the super soil in a trash can (has a 55 gallon plastic trash bag liner and a lid )
take 1/4 cup of epson salts 1/4 cup of the powder humic acid and mix 1/2 of each into a gallon of water pour that into the super soil trash can ...do it again with other half and cap the trash can .....leave out in sun or warm area for 2-6 weeks (usable after 2 weeks but longer the better) .....every few days open the lid use it to fan in some fresh air and then cap it back off
once it is ready u put 1/3 to 1/2 of the planter bottom part full of this mix .....the upper part is for the bag soil plus 1/4 cup of the bio alive (pack the super soil down and the put in a few scoops of regular stuff add in the bio live toss in a 2 more scoops and hand mix the loose soil in the planter pack it down and top it off with regular bag soil )
take the planter and water it down .....give 3 days to dry out little before u plant the plug in there
as for the feed it is pretty simple
rapid start ..........6 mls to gallon of water (start to 2 weeks into flowering)
https://www.amazon.com/General-Hydroponics-Rapid-Start-Branching/dp/B005H79552
B-52....starts with 3 mls ends at 10 mls increasing the amount per gallon as it gets older...i use this to 1 week before i cut the plant
https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Nutrients-B-52-Fertilizer-Booster/dp/B00DCY257C
that is it for grow ....at about 2/3 weeks u are going to see the plants get a N toxic effect that is it hitting the super soil ......it is a shock hence the B-52 to help recovery and adjustment (it will recover and will thrive)
flowering is where the fun starts ....if the strain needs something this is where it will show it so it is best o have a few things on hand like calmag+ (it should not but some strains are more demanding then other this my no means is 100% prefect).
organic bloom (any organic bloom .......10 mls per gallon)
these ones u add in with organic feed only a few times....power house chemical feed
https://www.amazon.com/FX14045-Granular-Fertilizer-Tri-Pack-Canisters/dp/B000HY2ODU
open sesame.......half the amount it tells u for a gallon only 3 times....timing this right before the plant goes into stretch and giving 2 more feeds to finish out
beastie bloom.....half the amount it tells u for a gallon only 4 times ....timing when they are phating out
cha ching.........half the amount it tells u for a gallon only 2 times ....timing right near the end before u cut it (try to have 10 days before u cut last time used)
this is chemical feed it is a balancing act for power to build even more on and keeping the smoke clean .....done right the micros will still be alive and controlling PH
bud candy........10 mls of this when ever u water
https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Nutrients-Bud-Candy-Fertilizer/dp/B003OTZ2PW
honey from Humboldt (soil) .......3 mls of this in the water (help the micros in soil)
http://www.humboldtnutrients.com/blog/humboldt-honey-es/
watering .....when i say watering i mean water and feed u can skip feeding every once and while but i do not unless it is the 1 week before i cut the plant down
it is pretty simple .......every planter has a maximum amount of water it can hold before it leaks out (7 gallon soil fabric soil pots it is 1 gallon of water so makes it easy )
when u start off the plants u need to control the amount of water u are giving it to force plant to root out looking for water....so u do not want to give the planter the full amount of water......starting off water from the outside of the planter in to the center
first true leaf to 2 nodes on the plant u only give it 1 quart of water every 2 days (3 mls of b-52)
3 nodes to 5 nodes u give it half gallon of water every 2 days (6 to 5 mls of b-52)
5 nodes and stretching out ....1 gallon every 3 days (10 mls of b-52 untill 1 week before cut)
full flowering ..1 gallon of water every 2 days .....u can go every 3 days but water really counts
i need to know how it does for u
1 did u fallow or modify the plan
2 what strain and breeder
3 what was the growth (how tall and big in what size planter )
4 what lights did u use
5 anything to report
6 how much did u make off it ......what would u grade the it as compared to other grows
