OK so I was wondering first if you can grow photos and autos together,as I'm a lil confused with the whole light thing.....also is there anything I should add to my sunshine mix as I have heard its similar to pro mix....also I will have one air pot wanna see the different between them and smart pots...I have more autos on the way but im getting new soil tommorow
Gonna germinate my beans and soak my pots for a couple of days..please feel free to chime in all is welcome I'm still a noob this is only my second grow........but stick around its gonna be a good one......with your help of course

I say don't amend it with anything if it's like Promix. Unless you want more perlite perhaps. I'm sure you can, though. And I see so many growers on here doing photos and autos together and they all come asking for help because of all the problems they have. Just my opinion, but I wouldn't do it. Especially just one, it'll just screw up all the rest if you decided to flip to 12/12 to flower the ch9 Jack.

One idea though is to start the photo however much time you plan on vegging it before the autos are expected to be chopped. Like say if you wanted to veg the photo for 6 weeks then you could start it 6 weeks before the autos are done instead of growing it the whole time and being in the way with its' size. And when you chop the autos you can flip the photo and flower. Just an idea that came to me. Good luck!

Thanks squid...didn't really want to do the photo...now I'm not. Just wondering if i sent my money to automatic seed priority..would I get my seeds any faster..is there a priority way..I spend money and don't like bullshit...I really want some purple men's and magic dragons.....also what are the seed banks everyone is using.......I wold love to shop at home but herbies took seven days to the us...any others pretty quick

 

[lowcoast grower]

I gotta do these freak in photos eventually though.....lol I have like six or seven feminized...but I freak in loved those autos

They send the same speed every time. It would speed up them getting your payment which entail leads to the shipping. So in theory, faster send of payment would be quicker.

How quick do you want it, damn? 7 days is pretty fast, especially from the UK to US. I have only used Herbies, AFN and worldwide-marijuana-seeds.com. The third one was the first that I ever used and they took a couple weeks but they have a good selection of single beans. I ordered from AFN and Herbies recently about the same time, 420. Still don't have any, but it's only been ten days.

I know how you feel on the photos. I have two fem freebies I got from my first order at wwms.com and am just waiting on the right time.

I agree, autos and photos together is a PITA. Leave the photos for now.

Whether you amend the Sunshine mix is really up to you. You could add some worm castings, guano or composted manure or just go with it straight. Only real difference is with the amendments they will feed the plants, with it straight, you have to feed. Personally, I've done it both ways and prefer it straight. That way I've got complete control over what I feed the plants and when.

I am just going to chime my two cents, Worm Castings is an amazing amendment and I will never grow again without some part of it added to any soil/soilless grow I do. It's damn near impossible to nute burn with it, and will give anything a boost.

2. I have used The Attitude four times now and even during the madness that was their 420 promotion, I received my package in 7 days from ordering. I ordered Friday from the week before and received it the next Saturday, considering it comes from the UK and customs I think that is some damn fast shipping. I love the attitude, I find their prices and promos really really hard to beat.
