That coast of mine stonington blend is a super soil. I thought u don't need to add any fertiliser if it's a supersoil.
I guess u only add a lil bit mid veg and start of flower

Neighbor was a very successful breeder of autos for a couple of seed sellers. Went to work for the government so no more. His method uses 5 gallon buckets. Perlite on the bottom and Pro Mix over about 8”. Jobes Organic fertilizer spike in it. Second layer like the first and a second Jobes spike. He grew for seed and not for weed. But he grew some huge autos outdoors.
Safeee
Maaaaadddddddd. Have to see if I can try that
Where is this? Which country.

Alaska. He bred autos that are climate hardy.
Add: got two stacks of buckets from him when he got hired by the post office. I never use buckets anymore except in a pinch.
Buckets for what?
Whats the average sunlight the ladies were getting?
Cuz I read that autos do best at 18-6 cycle but where I live we only get 18 hours for a week.
What strains were they?

That’s how he grew autos. 5 gallon buckets. Drilled on the bottom and about 6” up on the sides.

i know this is probably a stupid question, but do autos still automatically bud when grown outside or do you have to change the hours of sunlight they get by covering them up/some other way?
edit: also didn't mean to hijack thread just figured was a good thread to ask in

It is strain dependent. I have had a couple of autos that did really well in miracle grow potting soil. I have some now going that I did a mix with basic topsoil, coco, vermiculate, and then a little miracle grow potting soil because i'm pretty sure the top soil does not have a lot of nutrients in it. Only one plant has mild nute burn from what looks like too much Nitrogen. Once I get back from my trip this weekend i'm going to hit them with some bloom nutes, and then occasionally use the Fox Farm big bloom plant feed depending on how they take the fertilizer. I like using the big bloom feed because it adds just a fuzz of nutrients without going overkill.
Some strains are very sensitive to nutrients some suck them all up and want more. each is different and if you aren't familiar with them it is best to go with something proven. I usually use a mix of Fox Farms, half coco loco and half happy frog on a new auto strain. My experience with the ocean forest is that it is hot and I get nute burn.
I am by no means any expert. My friends really do prefer my herb though so I am pretty sure that the Fox Farm soil is a big reason why i've had success.
