Dinafem Blue Kush auto (organic)

I'll tag along fer da ride. Interested in seeing a organic grow in what I consider a "baby pot".

yeah a bit on the smaller side organic wise, but last grow which was my first try at it went pretty smooth no deficiencies. So lets see how the autos do previous grow was photoperiods.. My soil is full of life i had some mycellium growing but since lights are on that has gone away. i only have previous grows leaves and some straw for top cover but im seeing what i can use for this round to keep light away maybe.

You still have the mycelium in your media, just not on top. Being that small, a top cover is pretty important for the worms and conservation of moisture. I think powdered Yucca used sparingly will help with the conservation of moisture and help prevent dry pockets. I used it for the first time yesterday when mixing up new media. I used a tiny bit to a gallon of molasses water and it foamed up like crazy when I shook it. up.
I haven't been able to get the straw that I want, so I've been using Timothy Hay for rabbits I bought at a pet store. Pretty easy to pull back for top dressing. I just don't want to make a home for damn gnats. I had that problem in my last grow late term. I probally should have corrected the pest problem earlier in the infestation and kept it up. I did get rid of them by a super blizzard of DE, but some root damage had been done.
I'll have one girl in a 15gal fabric pot with two girls in EarthBoxes. I think I'm gonna add some hunter bugs to all three, but most important on the 15 gal open pot. I have read about microbial loads that target pest larva and my use that. The downside of using pest hunter bugs is that IF they don't control the pests, the nuke option of using DE will kill them too. We'll see.
I'm looking forward to see your grow mature and finish out! One thing you might wanna try during this grow. Take the leaves you pull off in defol and make your worms a canna smoothie. Worms absolutly LOVE it. Make sure you add it after watering and pulling back your cover. Apply fairly thinly and place the cover back. I feed this to my worms in their bin from my last grow.

@WildBill thanks for the info man I appreciate it. I do have some lil bugs but from what I read they are the good kind they help decompose the matter. Last grow they didn't damaged the buds at all, but I do see alot alot of em so I feel like I need to bring that number down but at the same time i don't know.
