Indoor 3rd Auto grow - Autopots and LEDs

[NewDream]

Getting started again. I’ve got a bigger tent now -4x8 - and I’m doing 6 plants. Four are Mephisto Ghost Toof and 2 are Growers’s Choice AK47. I’m using Autopots with Airdomes and organic soil (Oregon’s Only Nectar of the Gods #4) with Autoflower super soil amendment.

I asked what the difference was between the autoflower supersoil amendment and the regular amendment. The company, Nature’s Living Soil, said it had quicker release ingredients. I used the regular amendment last grow and it seemed to work well with autoflowers. Wonder if I’ll see a difference.

One of my bags of soil was leftover from early this year and had been stored outside. The soil within it was super moist and a thick layer of healthy moss grew over the top. I didn’t need to water in the pots with that soil. Hope my plants are as healthy as that moss.

I watered the pots using rain water I collected earlier this year. I’ll continue using a combination of rain water and plain RO water throughout the grow.

I’m not going to experiment with fertilizers this time. Just going to keep it simple, low stress training and water. - and let the soil do its work.

All but one of the girls are ready for low stress training, so I tied them down. I just use binder clips on the lips of my Autopots and twist ties. Everything is on at this point- air pump, reservoir and lights.And we are on our way.

Thanks! I’m enjoying all the crawl space compared to my 4x4. Feels luxurious to have 4 more feet!

No I don’t mind - in fact thanks for checking in! I’m using 2x 1000w LED from Mars Hydro.

Is this the first time using this and if not how were your prior experinces?

I just quickly did a search but did not read this forum post---https://www.autoflower.org/threads/natures-living-soil-is-not-very-good.70656/page-4

The girls are showing mixed results. Most are doing well but I’ve one plant that just never started to flourish after transplant. I’m leaving it be. Previously a different plant seemed weak and it started flourishing after transplant. Stress can make a plant stronger. We’ll see how it goes.

This last one is the one that seems to be struggling. I’m just going to ride it out

This is my first time using the autoflower amendment but I used the other amendment they offer with great success.
