Hi all I've been given permission to grow cannabis in my dads greenhouse, I'm going to grow some autos in there. I put 4 tubs in each about 10-12 litres of soil with added hydro balls at a 40/60 ratio, my dad told me to do this but i wasn't sure why so many hydro balls were needed?

Anyway i wanted to know how should i handle this from seed to harvesting? I already know how i will cure it ill let it sit in a jar for a month with the lid off for a few hours or so a day.

I have already planted 4 seeds the pots but i don't feel like they will germinate for some reason... i plan on buying more anyway

Thanks for any help, oh and im in yorkshire so up north

Don't worry about nutes just yet, maybe don't need to worry about nutes at all considering u.k. climate - you're more likely to be limited by temp variance and available light levels.
Beauty of Autos is that they don't really need a huge amount of attention.
- consider lst as they get taller if you need to keep things discreet or want to open up the canopy to maximise available light.
- try not to let the greenhouse reach high temps, can easily get to 40'c and above if full sun, enough to cook your babies.
- try to keep some air movement throughout the day, especially so first thing in morning when it will be very humid and stale air.
- don't over water, but don't let soil get too dry. If you can see the leaves wilting, provide water, or if the pot feels light/soil is dry to the first knuckle.
- keep an eye out for pests, keep looking underneath new leaves for any little bugs. You will need to do some research as to how to get rid of them depending on what you find.
- hardest thing is being patient and not tending them every minute of the day..

If we have a stonking month of May and they pack on the vegatative growth, you may consider a small dose of nutes as you move into flowering. I've used tomato feed successfully and just halved the dosage to ensure you don't cause any burn.

Pineapple Express never germinated and i was gutted.. and a really strange thing happened, at first the lemon kush was the biggest followed by the blackberry but after using nutes for the first time the lemon skunk got bad chemical burn and is only just recovering and the blackberry got mild nute burn while the krippleberry thrived off it.

Lessons to be learnt with all things and I've come to the conclusion i was watering too often and just to be cautious i put a little more water in with the nute mix to balance out for all plants, they have all just started to pre flower i think. Its okay about the screw ups though because ive got 5 og kush autos 3 northern light autos, 3 amnesia haze autos and 1 gelat og auto all by seedsman. Looking forward to these ones now I've started to get the gist of things :)

Gotta say the krippleberry is looking good, im looking forward to smoking all of these and see what impact this will have with flavour and strength
