Autoflower Breeding in progress!

[Allah Akbar]

So im growing this black cream in soilless soil from the hydro store the nutes seemed like it all washed away because the plant was not growing as supposed to so what i did was throw some more soilless soil on top and watered it and i saw more growth overnight witch was kinda crazy ,this was about 5 days ago. My question is what type of soil do you all use for your auto's? Ive been looking at FoxFarms oceanic forrest ph6-6.5 has anyone have experience with this soil for auto's ? Can it burn seedling's with that ph level? DO i need nutes for this soil due to the short life of auto's ?

Yes ocean forest tends to.be too hot for autos, generally has to be cut with other things to.be suitable, there is so many choices, but from what it looks like, you're looking for a soil that has many things included as just to add water, I have no clue if there Is such soil out, but it seems you're searching for super soils, they have many many nutrients and plants love them. You'll just have to build your own.

That sucks! As soon as i had a chance to relax and celebrate. Now this lol more research! What do you suggest mister? I saw a utube vid with jorge cerventas on how he mixes but those are photoperiod. How do you do your soil and what should i buy?

And also im wondering can you pollinate 1 plant with 2 diffrent strains on seprate branches?

I saw a Jorge Cervantes vid on YouTube and he states to get these things ive listed below and mix them. I dont know if this is strictly for photos and might be too hot for auto's ...I dont know and am kinda scared to do as he says because he did not state anything about using this mix with auto's .

1. Fox Farm Oceanic Forrest
2. Roots Organic
3. Black Gold
4. Ancient Forrest
5. Hydroton (Expanded clay pellets)

Do i also need to buy nutes?

There's a lot of good threads on here with great recipes for autos , I'll try to find them

remember O'l George is a great grower, but knows nothing about Auto's... And from what I understand dose not want to.

Goauto i believe i heard him state that too during a Q&A also. And thnx Mister i appreciate it man!

AA- Awesome as Jorge is, I'd be very careful about the OF soil,... FuxFarms has been putting out bags in the low 5's pH some a while now, even from their West Coast facility... riding on their old rep' as far as I'm concerned! 2 weeks ago, I needed a mols started soil, and tried some HF at 2 different places, testing with an Accurate 8 soil pH probe.. still in the 5's! ..another excellent grower I know on another site uses Roots original, but amends it with oyster shell (not dolomite-- too slow acting) because it too get acidic fast (poorly amended at factory?), sometime low pH in the bag still as well,... BG should be okay, but it's kinda heavy,... not sure about the pellets..a soil master here locally is using pumice (more open),....
