Hi im attempting my first grow.
Doing it outdoors in a greenhouse using Fast & Vast auto flower (they pulled me in on the name :S ).
It has gone ok so far, 1 major spidermite problem but i exterminated them soon enough.
I made a big mistake early on, i used soil with some slow release nutes. I have had to re-pot & it went well (surprisingly).
I have humidity problems as my greenhouse is on grass (im praying i dont get budrot) but it shall be moved to concrete soon.
1 of my babies has just started budding & now im looking for some nutes.
Ive read alot & dyna-gro seems to be one of the best however ive just seen a schedule on their site & it includes mag-pro, pro-tekt & bloom for flowering. Is this really needed?
Will the bloom be good enough on its own?
(im on a very tight budget & cant afford to get all 3) otherwise any1 know of other good cheap bloom nutes?
For veg (if auto-flowers have veg, ive seen some argue they dont) i used baby bio which is 10.6 - 1.9 - 1.4
Also while im here what is a cheap & easy way to increase PH of water? my PH is way off (below 5.0), i check the water most times & its always between 6.5-7.5 i guess that soil really was bad & i guess if i dont fix it it will creep up on me.
My watering/feeding hasn't been on a tight schedule, i try & water every 4 days but sometimes the soil is still wet & others they wilt before that. I have been sticking to water-water-water with nutes.
Finally can they handle high temps, recently we've had a mini heat wave & its been at least 30C in there, should i be worried about temps or will she still thrive?

(big 1 planted 1st week of April others 2 weeks later - well behind 8 weeks from germination till harvest but we have piss poor weather mostly)
