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 use OF and HP mixed 50/50 as a base soil. It works great. Only when you add all of your ingredients your gunna wanna let it cook for 30 + days

Could you expound a little on the freshening of the soil with worms.Is any extra food necessary,or are the old roots enough for the worms to eat and multiply.

Do i leave the 16oz cup in the soil mix?

FD, I hope your still around. I have an idea that I would like you to ponder. Just like the bottom of the cup that you cut out and put a screen on, Im wondering if you can do that with the actual pot. Im also wondering if you can attach an air stone to the air pump, run it into the pot (on the bottom of the pot of course), and run it so oxygen is always being pumped into the soil. Im figuring it would dry the soil out, but maybe just run it while you are watering and maybe an hour or so after.
Does the tea replace the chemical ferts? If so, I was wondering if, since it basically is the same mixture as the soil, can the runoff of the tea mix be saved and used again?
Thanks again!

not sure if FD is around... but yes... you can do it with the pot too... as far as air pumps in soil... someone was experimenting... dont remember where their thread was or their results... but yes... be careful about drying out the pot... probably would boost growth to some degree...

never capture and reuse your runoff.. typically it will be out of balance and full of salts you dont want...
consider it a loss that gives you Great gains!



which tea are you asking about replacng chemical ferts?

 

[Dankbuds63]

Thanks man. The tea that FD has listed here. Wasnt FD supposed to come out with a book?
