Hey AFN fam., @Antonio_DutchPassion 
A while ago the nice people of Dutch Passion offered me the opportunity to do something I have never done before...Grow in "organics"
"I'm not an organics man" is something I discovered many a years ago...Chemical is so much easier with it's measurements and repeatable methods...Well that was my first reaction when Antonio asked if I wanted to do just that.
The only thing I'd have to do to feed the lot was about an half hour of work in prepping the soil and as soon as the seeds hit the soil the only thing you'd give 'm is plain unadulterated tap water. No pH altering, not even adding one grain of salt to it. Just pour it from the tap onto to soil or in my case, in the Autopot water tank.
The fact that I'm writing this thread means I accepted his offer, gladly I must say so! Because who wouldn't want to grow a full tent of Dutch Passions best and oldest strains in auto form.
Alright...Let's get this mf'er on the road...
Last week I ordered the last ingredients for my new grow...which arrived a couple of days later.
Last night I took out the seeds and dropped them in some demineralized water with two drops of rooting product. And there the stayed for about 24 hours.
I took everything else needed for my preparation....
To fill the four 8.5L autopots I took 30L Lightmix (with perlite), added 10L perlite to this and mixed well.
Afterwards it was time to add the suggested amounts of Startrex and Silicium Flash which are the colored powders on top of the soil.
Done mixing...
I wasn't going to pay 9€ + shipping for something I could make myself. So these are my DIY aird0mes
Pots filled and airhoses in place
Nee, my work isn't done yet...Now it's time to dig a hole, about a teaspoon deep and double the width and put 5 teaspoons of Mycotrex in there.
All four pots done, pffff...hard work
I filled the soil back into the holes and mixed the contents with my finger
Then poked a hole with my pinky finger and sowed the seed. Only one thing remained for me to do and all my feeding work was done...Insert two BioTabs on opposite corners 5 and 10cm deep. Even the choice of which corner was mine and mine alone to make
Finally it was time to give them their first watering... I added one gram of Bactrex to one liter of water and divided that between two pots as I felt that adding one liter of liquid to the pots at this time would be to much, mah....
Here I've just inserted the pots into their trays, which haven't been connected yet to the tank.
Regards,
Bob
