Hi muddy,( just joined AFN).I'm in no way as gifted as you when it comes to autos, but i have to say that i am somewhat puzzled here on AFN that not more people simply use the CONTENTS of tomato grow-bags to grow their autos with and then just feed the plants an all-in chemical food with a timely bud booster halfway into the grow without forgetting that all important pre-harvest double flush 14 days before harvest. Tomato grow bags consist of 1 part perlite, 1 part vermiculite, 1 part peat moss, and a nicely measured amount of dollamite lime to help regulate the soil's ph.They come cheap to buy, and being soilless with no nutrients or fertilisers one can start a perfect nutrient all-in feeding regime seed-harvest WITHOUT the guess-work associated with purchased mediums where nutrient mixes are already in them. Many brands of tomato grow-bags come sealed n sterilised and thus one has the added bonus of zero pathogens, bacteria n bugs to worry about. Of course, the organic path is the best in my opinion both morally and in taste, but it's tricky to get it right as repeatedly shown in this column and others on AFN. The reason for my puzzlement about the apparant lack of tomato grow-bags on the AFN is that i have a friend who grows in tomato-growbag medium, adds a tried n tested all-in chemical feed,+ mollases(for taste apparently) +bud-booster routine and grows lovely healthy high yielding plants with head-kicking bud. Of course, tomato grow-bags apart+chemicals he also has hygiene perfect,lights perfect, air circulation perfect, regular inspections, misting perfect, the root, room, medium, temperature perfect, humidity perfect, co2 perfect, adds "ph up n ph down" if n when needed, well timed flushings, perfectly timed chop, dry n cure perfect which all helps of course, but still, i'm surprised how few AFN growers go "the tomato grow-bag" route. Is it that they do so but in a different name,or yes, but in a more sophisticated way, or is it the abhorrence of using chemicals to a medium that has no soil, nutrients, or fertilisers, or is it that going hydro yields more, or is it that after a lot of trial n error they've finally "nailed" their own perfect system without tomato grow-bags, or do tomato grow-bags contain something that neither i nor my "head kicking bud producer"-friend know about, or is it a combination of all these reasons/factors?
Would love to hear your reply on this as i'm sure i'll learn from it. Thank you.
Peace out.

I am in on the tail end of this grow report. I like the photos, the reports and in particular the fly rod hanging, in the ready for the hatch, on your wall. Very nice grow--indeed.

And let me say--I am way off the end of this grow report. Better late than never.

I want to grow out Onyx myself. Looking good. Hey Auto King, good idea. That mix sounds great for cannabis. Have to look into that at my local shops.
