Hi, dogman Sending you some growing :karma Cloud::karma Cloud::karma Cloud: your way! My 2 pennies... Buy an Accurate 8 soil probe. First thing. It'll run ~$50 online (in the US, at least), and it will pay for itself a hundred times over. Best single purchase I've made in growing save for seeds Also, OF soil. It can be a crap shoot on the pH out of the bag, so make sure you test a sample (moist, like it was watered) to ensure the pH is close to 6.5. If its not, the soil can be amended with dolomite lime (and other calcium suppliments) if needed. My last 2 bags were 6.5 and 5.5 (!!!) out of the bag. I've started using Sunshine Mix#4 instead, though it only has myco/bacteria added to it.
What strain(s) are you considering? I've had great results with Dinafem auto White Widow-my first auto grow, too.
Looking forward to your grow journal, and I hope your grow is both fun and successful!
:Sharing One:
