FD's Guide to Growing Hefty Autos in Small Places.

Ok guys i have been dragging my knuckles on this for too long. This thread will be dedicated to my actual grow technique. I will have everything in here from the way i germ seeds to the way i harvest and everything in between.

ill cover my soil mixes, teas, water adjustments, feeding schedules as well as the recipes for the soil and teas that i use. My goal is to teach how to grow the bud lumps you see in the small pots i use. I feel if you use this you may have the same success that i do when it comes to autos in small places.

Bare with me as i will update this on the regular, but will be locking it to get it all organized.

I'd say wait at least to week 5-6 man with OF its a hot soil and you don't want to over fert ur plants n burn them to a crisp. I'm using OF with trio also and it is the plan I am going to follow on my Pk autos GL

Ah, the bible for my early grows - that feed schedule is still ingrained on my brain. And this was the first place I saw anyone describe tiered planting for autos, so as far as I'm concerned you invented it, FD. :grat:

Yeah yeah i know i have had request after request to post some of this info, but if i give it all to you shits then who is gonna buy the book?

This has to be one of the best ways i have ever fed my gals. They respond to it and i rarely burn a plant and its easy to make as its composed from the same things that my soil is.

The Mix

1 gal of water....pH at this point does not matter its going to be all over the place.

2cups of cow compost (manure), make sure you do this out of nose range of others, It will stink.

1/2 cup Blood meal
1/2 cup Bone meal
1 cup of baby food
1 cap full of Liquid Seaweed
Tablespoon of Slag (pH balance, has lime in it)
Tablespoon of Epsom Salt

then i mix it heavily and then bubble it for 24-36 hrs. Then i strain the mix out and then cut it between two gallons a 1:1 ratio. 1/2 distilled or rain water and 1/2 gallon tea.

BOOM! This is the post I was looking for.
As others have stated, awesome thread overall. I have a quick question about the manure. Would something labeled as "composted cow manure/cow manure compost" work, or are calling for something a bit fresher than that?

Also, can I assume that this is good to use from the time that I start feeding until I start flushing? (or does this eliminate the need for a flush?)

Hi,
Has anyone heard of using alkalised water to feed their plants? Alkalised water has more oxygen in it?
