Soil PH Problems

Don’t know what growers suggest autos as if you have a problem with them there is no way to correct the issue before flowering due to them being on a time line if you have a bunch get stunted then they will definitely be small yield and bad for your pocket. Definitely would rethink that on a large grow that you are planning!!

Imo photos better to learn on but autos have the advantage in that if your doing small 2-3 plant grows you can push them through quickly and get extra exposure to flower stage while documenting errors made and adjusting for the next batch.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages what it all comes down to is what works for you.

Imo in your position I would carry on with the autos starting a few each week and learning as you go by the time your 10 weeks in you should have a decent knowledge base to work from

Tagging @latewood and repasting from another thread:
We do not support commercial grow ops here at ILGM. We do however have a team of consultants available for live chat and design support etc.
Fees for a consult start at $300.00 us and up to $3500.00 to get started for an ongoing contract. We can provide on site consulting as well if you get that far.

If you’re going to do this commercially, you really should pay for professional support.

You do not add nutrients to a soil like this. It is already most likely
hot".

dump the post, and work the dolomitic lime into the entire pile of composted blend.

Potash is not generally used for adjusting PH.

#1 thing to do in a commercial sized grow. you must take soil samples and have them analyzed.

As a rule, using compost in a grow and having no experience growing has its own set of issues you will have to address. Bugs for instance

There is no simplicity in an outdoor grow of 140 plants. Al;l you did was put yourself in a position to yield less. Outdoors photo period is moot, so where is the complications coming from?

All you can guarantee is that you will yield much less with autos than you would have with feminized seeds.
