Hi
I've done 2 grows. My first was outdoor Feminised runtz that I had to move indoors mid flower cuz of weather.
Second grow was gelato 41 clones indoors.
I have to get rid of my tent now and want to try organics and autoflowers.
Anyone know bout growing autoflowers in the garden and using slow release nutrients.

Thank you

That's what I do, works great. It's different than photos, some pros, some cons. The good part is how fast they can finish. The bad part is that I have found they are heavily impacted by temps, and if you have a cool spring it can stunt them. I start mine indoors and wait until things warm up and then put them out. I also grow them right in the ground, not in containers.

EDIT: I have grown them in containers, that works too, I've just found that some strains in the ground will really take off and get huge, so I put them all in the ground to give them that chance.

Yes

Don't do it

Use real cannabis nutes not tomato nutes

Cannabis nutes and tomato nutes will both grow plants. Marketing has people thinking that they need these special nutrients to grow cannabis so they slap a fancy label on them and sell them for three to four times the price.

Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc... Cannabis doesn't care what brand it is it just wants it like any other plant. You don't need these so called cannabis specific nutrients to grow killer weed.

I am trying Auto's this year. What I am trying to work out is when to start them inside before they are able to go outside. Usually I start my regular plants the same time I start my tomato plants. Is 4 weeks too early?

Edit: I am at 43 degree lat about the same as Michi-can

My method is end April in MI. And drop the second run 3 weeks later. 1 finish at peak conditions. And one as good if all is decent weather wise. Careful of spring storms. My biggest issue to date.

I'm at about 45.5º, but I'm on the west coast so it's completely different. Hopefully someone closer to your zone can help you. I'm really lucky to have primarily dry sunny summers. I have to calculate for the wet and windy fall, and be done before it comes. I know the bad weather can start any time after mid-September, so I work backwards from there. I start them indoors mid-May, put them in the ground first week in June, and I'm done in late August while the sun is still relatively high in the sky and the days are still pretty long. Every grow season is somewhat unique. Cool nights can slow them down and make them take longer.

Op I asked my question not to steal your thread but as it was related to Auto;s outside I thought why not. As far as I see it you are better off trying to match the right fertilizer with the plant you are growing, Last year I used Plant Prod 20-20-20 once per week for all my plants, 1 ground 3 in pots. I am not doing that with the Autos though. I intend to go with this for at least 1 auto that will be in a grow bag in the greenhouse for its entire grow.

That looks like a rly good line of nutes but I cant get them in the UK. Most r bottle nutes.
Anyone in the UK that uses organic slow release? What do u use? What quantities per litre?

Look into Gro more Sea Grow. Cheap. Should be labeled organic. And very happy here after years of use on everything. In soil it works. Cheap and just add water. Infinite shelf life.

Coast of Maine Stonington blend Lobster kelp dry fert. And I use the general purpose and flower bloom. If you can read your plant? You can really push the Sea Grow.
