[Kate]

Hello there!

My name is Kate and I am trying my hand at growing some autoflowers. I am not new to growing as I have a pretty decent sized veggie garden but I am new to growing cannabis. I am growing outdoors in pots and tried to choose some hardy, easy growing strains.

I currently have 3 strains planted: a northern lights auto, Big Bud and Bubblegum.

Planted in a mixture of composted manure and ecoscrapes potting mix. I haven't started nutes yet.
The first is the NL it's about 20 days old


Any tips tricks advice etc... I welcome it a!

Thanks guys! Appreciate the love. I'm in the states... upstate New York to be more specific. My fiancee and I own a small hobby farm (I have horses and grow veggies). Think more like Vermont... less city lol.
I just order some Biobizz stuff (their starter pack). What does EWC mean?

EWC= Earth worm castings

Earthworm Castings are the excretions left behind by worms after they finish digesting the organic matter that makes up their diet.

The process of creating worm castings is probably the most efficient means of recycling kitchen and yard wastes.

Benefits of Worm Castings in the Garden
More than just a great plant fertilizer, castings are also a terrific soil amendment, plant growth enhancer, and the gardener’s ultimate compost. Earthworm castings are clean, odorless, and can be used indoors and outdoors to provide a boost to all of your plants.

I cut and paste all that since they said it better than I could.

I am in Eastern Washington State, other side of the Cascade mountains from Seattle.
I grew in 5 gallon fabric pots this year.
I added a 50/50 mix of roots organic potting soil and ewc once flowering started as a 1-2 inch top dress just to give the plants a little extra something every time they get watered.

Similar to you I have grown veggies a bit but first time cannabis grower myself, even though I live in a recreational legal marijuana state.

Ah! OK I've seen the earthworm castings used a lot.

I know seems silly but I don't want to overload with the nutrients! I have some biobizz bloom on the way... how much should I start with and how should I apply? Mix in a watering can?
