Outdoor Outdoor Gorilla grow attempt 1!

[ProjectE]

Hi all, I have decided to do my own grow as the quality of smoke where I live is appalling! I'm doing it gorilla style with 13 Auto Fems from Sensi. Northern Lights, Skunk, Skunk #1 and Super Skunk. Does anybody have much experience with these strains?

I have them in 12 litre pots and have a 70% compost 15% Perlite 15% vermiculite potting mix.

When they say 90 days from seed does that mean from the time they pop out of the ground or from when they popped in my pre germination wet tissue jobby?

They popped from the ground in the last 4/5 days and today i've started to put them outside in nice weather in the days in prep for there transplant outside in 4/5 days time. Is this too soon as I have little choice in the matter?

Anybody have any idea on what the minimum room each plant will need at there new home? What amount of sunlight they will need a day? How much water is needed per plant and how often? I brought a drip feeder system but I'm hesitant to use it as I don't want to drown my babies...

I've brought the Biobizz set to fertilise them put when should I start using this? Some have said a week in when others have said not for 3-4 weeks.

So many questions! Haha

Any help would be appreciated on Project Enable...

Is this home made compost? Straight compost might be a little strong. Something like 1/3 compost, 1/3 soil and 1/3 peatmoss or perilite might be better. I find in ground to be more forgiving than container plants, but this might not be an option for you.

They grow up so fast [emoji16] About a week since popping out the ground. Had there first feed today. Mixed about half a tablespoon of Bio Bizz into 2 litres of water and shared it between the 12. They get put outside permanently in 3 days so I keep putting them out in the garden every day to try and prepare them and give them the best shot at survival!

It was straight compost. Went for the one with as little additives as possible at the shop to give myself as much of a clean slate as possible.

Ok that seems a little early to go out but i put a couple of wwidow autos out end of april last year and they did ok, if they are close you could cover them at night if a frost is forecast.
Timewise autos take longer outdoors, yours dont look too hazey so maybe 80 to 90 days. You can chop a little off at 70 days and see what you think ! You should space the plants atleast 1/2 meter away from eachother if not more but i havent grown those strains in auto form so i cant help you there.
May the sunshine continue
Goodluck

Yeh it does concern me how early they are going out. I'm just hoping the good weather stays about. Had any experience with drip feeders? I have brought one that can deliver 125cl upto a litre a day and i don't know what to start them on if at all?

I'm not familiar with soil grows but as for autos; Typically seed banks/companies advertise in either two formats.

Example A
Flowering Time: 6 Weeks
Example B
Indoor/Outdoor Harvest: 8 1/2 weeks after germination

In example A, they refer to after the seedlings enter flowering but they do not define the "vegetative" time that the specific strain goes through.

In example B, well it's pretty straightforward I'm guessing

Although a timeline is specified for autos, I would watch and depend more on your own observation of your babies regardless.

I haven't any experience with the exact strains you've grown, but here's some info to get a better understanding of what to expect of your strains.
