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.

still trace elements in soil that dont seem to be able to be replicated for hydro yet... beleive me... I'm a big hydro fan... but have as of yet been unable to exactly duplicate taste of soil with hydro... somethings still missing without soil... Kindredspirit could tell you... i used to be hydroponics almost to a fault! lol

Hey FD, do you have a pic of your tiered transplant? If I'm understanding you correctly, only about half the cup is planted into the bigger pot right.

Thanks FD, that's exactly what I was looking for. I will definately be trying this, +rep! Also, can you be a little more specific as to when you transplant.

hi full duplex thanks for all your tips, youre obviousley an experienced grower so i must ask you a few questions if you dont mind? Basically i have a 3ftx3ft and 7ft tall space (closet).im wanting to grow 12 autos in 6.5l square pots.
Q1. do you think i could veg with a 300w cfl blue and finish flowering with 600w hps
Q2. can i start them out using paper towel method thin when taproot shows put in canna pro soil without them burning?
Q3. do you think i will have heat probs with hps? i will be getting carbon filter at later stage and a desk fan will be all i have to combat this.
and finally do you think 1 600w hps in mylar lined space will sufficently flower 12 autos? sorry for the questions but any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
