New Grower Before growing my first autoflowering plant.

[Engis]

Little backstory: So I live in a very small town where only one person grows weed. Yes, only one. A month ago this person got arrested, and no one in this town has weed anymore. I've waited, but it seems that no one has any weed in my town. So, I decided to grow some of my own for personal use, maybe sell some to my friends.

So for the first time in my life, I started searching information about growing marijuana.
Normal seeds were too complicated to me, so I decided to use autoflowering seeds.
I'm also going to use feminized seeds for my first grow to make sure I get female plants only.

As I don't have a big budget, I need to do everything super cheap. The quality really doesn't matter because there is always shitty weed in my town. Oh and yes, I'm going to grow outdoors because I really don't have anywhere to grow inside.


So, I put something together myself:
- 2 autoflowering seeds (or 3 if I can't buy 2), I'm thinking between Onyx and Super Skunk and maybe even mi5.
- FoxFarm Happy Frog Organic potting soil mixed with 30% perlite (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001V6WXEI...tiveASIN=B001V6WXEI&adid=1KFFM8JXYDFW55AV0MFS)
I don't know what nutrients to put in. Also, all that + ph kits n regulators are going to be too expensive.
Any tips / feedback?

Engis,
Welcome to AFN. There's all kinds of info on here. I would suggest putting this post in the intro section.
As far as starting with autos outdoors idk, I'm on my first auto grow right now indoors. But I grew a pile of reg photosensitive plants before outdoors. If I were just starting out I would germinate some bagseeds and let em rip. Dont let me discourage your plan with autos that's just my opinion. A couple three autos on your first shot probably won't leave you to sell. Just my $.02

I think you got me a little wrong - I don't mean to sell much. But anyway thanks for the feedback.

Hi Engis - Welcome to AFN



I'm an indoor grower and wouldnt know where to begin offering advice on outdoors - but we have an outdoor section and new growers forums to help you out!

Post up an introduction and people will stop by, say hello and offer advice if they're in the know!

Good luck with the first grow!

Hello and welcome! Be careful with anything Fox Farm, it's an excellent company but their soil releases lately have been wayyy too low in pH and have been killing plants. I would strongly consider something else, for your best success.

I'm no outdoor pro so I wouldn't know what else to recommend though. I mix up my own organic soil mixes, for indoor, but that takes time and money to do right.)

well your best bet is to do a photo period plant outdoors.autos and outdoors with new grower add up to a tough time and possibly disappointment too.autos as a rule are mostly for ID growing.photos will provide better plants and also let you be able to mess up some and still get a solid harvest.you'll need a thinning bag of something like a plain soil or used soil to thin that soil out.Lime powder with a standard set of Nutes of your choosing like the GO box or even trio.id use the GO box imo.perlite too.

so lime,a thinning soil or coco or similar,a nute package n perlite and a pot with solid drainage and imo your off n going.autos grow OD but not as nice as many hope.get some photos beans man.if you want a quicker auto type of grow get some semi autos which are essentially fast finishing photos period plants.ive been in your shoes man.lol i know the feeling all too well bro and thats what Id do.dimple and prolly cost you 50 bucks total from start to finish or there abouts and you already have two of your things sooo.yer almost there dude"AFN smoke out"

Thanks everyone for feedback.
I'll try to find some other soils and post a thread in the outdoor growing subforum.
Also keep in mind that I don't line in US so shipping prices cost me a lot.
