I have been a member of this forum previously and have always found it to be a friendly and helpful atmosphere.

I am experiencing a renewed interest in canna-farming. I have grown successfully a few times before and loved it! But a few years ago I completely lost interest...don't know why just happened. Anyway, I was recently diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and have decided to grow some medicine for nerve and vision health. I am trying something new this time though...I am using LED lighting and am planning on trying some auto-flowers. I just ordered my equipment Amazon.com : Spider Farmer 2x2 Grow Tent Kit Complete SF-1000D Full Spectrum LED Grow Light Samsung Diodes 24” X 24” X 55” Growing Tent 4 Inch Inline Fan Filter Combo Setup System for Indoor Plants Veg Flower : Garden & Outdoor and I am online now looking for seeds. When last I grew I used single seed center now I find they are no longer doing business...that sucks! I do not grow more than 2 plants at a time and like to grow 2 different strains. Single seeds were awesome for my needs.

So, a couple of questions...reliable banks that work with quality breeders and have a variety of sativa dominant auto strains? Having never worked with autos I am also interested in different nuteing regimens and schedules. I am going to use FF Happy Frog...only soil I have ever used and I am not about to change it now. Although from what I understand autos require a more airy medium so I plan on going 70% HF, 15% coir, 15% perlite. I am going to use Technaflora's recipe for success kit. I am contemplating letting the HF do it's thing for the first 30 or so days, 1/4 strength vegging nutes for the 2nd 30, and 1/4 strength flowering nutes to finish. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Nice to meet y'all :peace:

I've only ordered once since Im from an illegal state however I had really good results with i49 seeds. Curious to see how your autos go.
 
Yeah you kinda have to go into each plant and read their genetic blending. Its really interesting tough. I'm having good luck with the seeds I got. I was really scared to order so Im going to try to get a clone from one of them if I dont screw it up lol.

I ended up ordering some Amnesia Haze Auto and some Blue Dream photoperiod from Nirvana seeds. I ordered the BD because I have never grown autos before and I want to make sure that if the yield is not so hot, I will have a decent crop a month or so later. From what I have seen auto harvest size is pretty much directly related to how many plants and grow style. I only have a 2x2 tent and don't have room for a huge SOG grow. I have also read that it is best to grow autos in a large amount of very airy medium. Again, I only have a 2x2 and just don't have the space. So, what I am contemplating is starting 2 autos in 3 gallon grow bags and a couple of weeks later starting seedlings/veg of the 2 BD. That way the BD should be very ready to start flowering once the auto's are harvested.

Pretty excited today...my tent/equipment is arriving tomorrow. and my nutes are arriving Wednesday. I am astounded by the shipping speed of the equipment. I just ordered it yesterday and it is arriving tomorrow. About a year ago I ordered some merchandise from E-bay. It took 4 months to get here from China due to Covid delays. After I get my delivery tomorrow i will be heading to a gardening supply store to get the FFHF and perlite.

Looking forward to starting my grow journal!!!
