yes, you do well with them. I swore off autos last year after growing 9 of them and not getting anything close to my photo plants.

@AAA I had that happen one grow too. I’ve learned that starting them off indoor for about a month, then gently transplanting then once outdoors the way to get decent yields.
If they get stunted or shocked in the first few weeks of life they don’t have time to recover like photos do. They also prefer soil not heavy with fertilizer, so I added a lot of peat into the mix.
54°, it was sprinkling a little while ago.

I was just thinking one thing you do that I’ve heard nobody else mention is using the peat and perlite letting the roots breathe also big bags more room to grow. I’m going to be trying it myself I hope it works half as well for me. I really appreciate your sharing your grow.

Good morning 
I’m curious, what is the smallest pot you’ve used for living soil?

Good morning @GreenJewels
Any size container you like. I wouldn’t go any bigger than 11 gallons indoor. A lot of folks like to use 3, 5, or 7 gallon ones.

Big has inspired me. Im dropping on 4/6. Hash Plant x Afghani and Uncle Festers #18 Skunkbud. At least 4 of each, even though I normally like to germ a whole pack, Ive already got 14 Granny Skunks(VA beach Afghani x Skunk) above ground, So, would be way too much.
Libra moon drop!!!

I’m trying to decide how many of the ones you sent I should drop at once. I’m really getting stoked, seems my plants are the only thing that I want to mess with right now. I sat in my grow room floor earlier trimming alittle and talking to girls.,sucks being stuck at home by myself thru day at night my husband afraid of bringing me germs from work sits in back area of house by himself

Oh damn, that sucks.
I would drop 2-3x more than you want to end up with and start culling any weaklings, then get rid of the males.
I always tell people to do that, then I end up with twice as many plants as I wanted!
Do as I say, not as I do!!!

moon 
waxing after the New Moon. Libra moon supposed to best for any plant grown for their flower.
@Amazon66 are you starting them indoor? Or growing outdoors? Both?
