Hello all AFN friends.
Spring is upon us in south-east Mediterranean, with temps currently ranging from 12 celcious at night to 19 celcious at day time.
I have done 2 other organic grows with autos. first turned out ok with yields 30g per plant, but second had some security issues and had to be abandoned. Having found now a new spot (10 hours of direct sunlight) i will do a 3rd run with autos. Its been 2-3 days now that im preparing my new site. I have put up poles and surround it with chicken wire because the area has an issue with goats and rabbits. its a space of 2m*1,3m. I have used shrubs and local vegetation to camouflage it, still need quite a bit of work to reach the point i want, but until seeds get here there is plenty of time ....
I will use 12-20 lt pots, with 50-50 potting soil-perlite. also i have read somewhere that adding a layer, 5-10cm, of perlite at the bottom of pots increases root mass and i will give it a go.
Seeds
I was thinking about what strains to buy for a long time..... finally i desided that Dutch Passion Seeds are the ones. So last night i placed my order for 3+3 auto white widows (special offer currently) and a new strain of theirs Auto Cinderella Jack which supposedly has 20% tch, that will be a crazy smoke!!!! We will see.
Nutrients
Being on a tight budget i decided not to go organics this time and try out synthetic fertilizers and see how autos will respond to that regime. Nothing will be given to plants for the first 10-14 days, until 4 sets of leafs have been created. Then i will feed this stuff
. from what it sais its good for rapid growth, and i think with the short veg time autos have it will work fine. for blooming i will use 
. both being synthetic i have to be careful with dosages and i will start very very very very low and see how plants will respond. better add a bit more next time than burn the ladies. Has anyone any previous xp with these fertilizers?
any advice is appreciated.
Peace all
