Starting up an outdoor grow using the seed stated in the title. I have a few bagseed plants going right now that all look good, they are about a month old, but other than that i have never grown cannabis before. Im looking for some help from you veteran auto strain growers.​

I have fox farms OF and happy frog soils. I also have the Maxsea line of nutrients. I'm germinating in an inert potting mix, and once i get sprouted is where all advice is welcomed and needed.

I appreciate your replies.20160617_161922.jpg​

Day 2 of the grow, first set of true leaves are making their appearance. I removed a plastic cover I had placed over the cup to maintain the humidity for germination, as well as moved it to more direct sunlight.

I want to avoid stunting the growth of this autoflower as much as possible. I would like to transplant as soon as I possibly can, even now if it's okay to do so, to avoid transplant shock as much as possible.

I have Fox Farms Ocean Forest and Happy Frog soils. Should I mix them half and half or use one over the other? How do autos respond to these soils?
Should I transplant into my final pot size and if so what size should I pot them to? FastBuds says they will do fine in a 3 gallon pot, does that seem right?

Thanks for any help I can get!

What I've started doing is germinating in the final pot. I put the seed in a peat pellet (for stability) and put the pot in a low-light outside area, with a plastic dome over the planted seed. My germination times are about 3 days, and after a week of hardening with increasing sun exposure, plants can be moved to the grow area in the back yard.

Well, the picture above of mine at 23 days (outdoors) may or may not be a useful reference.

Can I ask why you've got to end in 17 days? You'll need 7-14 days hang-drying too, I'm guessing if you can't have the plant there for whatever reason, you cant have hanging, stinking buds.

Explain your situation, I reckon the community can offer up a solution.

Alright so this thing it's growing pretty damn slow, and I'm wondering why. It's growing outside with plenty of sun. Some days it's too hot and ill move it to partial shade. Its day 24 i believe. Plant looks healthy, just small. Has stretched out a bit too. Any ideas?
