sohum soil for autoflowers

[OG-GeMann]

I have been doing some research on what soil is good for auto flowers because I am on my 3rd auto grow and all tree of them shows the same nutrient deficiency in all 3 grows. My personal opinion is that autos and their short VEG to FLOWER stage has a lot to do with it. "The soil is to hot" is what I hear A LOT" so I dont know any thing about , don't have the time and knowledge, not even know were to start....So I came across this soil that is Smoking Tomatoes Soil: here is a link to their web site........soil They are based in Michigan so thats a 4-6 hour drive, now for me to drive 6 hrs for some soil sounds crazy, I know..if only they would delivery..I would love from someone that has used this kind of soil before and how was it??? There's moor I know this is the last ?? I found this soil just like the one that was mentioned earlier and I can get this delivered to my local Hardware Store, but it likes $50 a bag of 18 LBS, now the other soil is $15 a bag at, well it does not say?? BUT its $15 a bag..Let me get back to the soil its called SOHUM Living soil, just adding water only is Like PARADISE to me, I personally hate mixing chemicals and adding dry fertilizer every time I feed them Its a mess after feeding I have to clean the reservoir and every thing else..you know what I am talking about.. so by just adding water is a dream come true to me....same as this soil want to hear other thoughts on this ...

I know, but if it’s good I’ll get 2 bags. A lot better driving 4-6 hrs

SoHum runs a bit hot for autoflowers. Im on my second grow using SoHum Its a quality soil, a bag even closed can load a room with a rich soil smell. Their site has best practice for autoflowers.

I am using sohum living soil Outdoors with 2.5 gallon air pots its my first grow, They recommend not to starting your seeds in the soil but using a well rooted plant. what i did was soak the seeds 14 hrs they sank , I put em in the scott towel once tap root was long enough,Then I put them in seed starting soil, 10 days later roots were coming out the bottom of the 4in deep plastic container , I carefully transplanted them in to the sohum soil so far so good Day 24

I had made the mistake 3 weeks earlier when I planted the germinated seeds directly into the sohum soil, 2 of the 5 survived. they were growing very slow first 2 weeks day 54 they looking decent.

Biotabs I find are great. Fastbuds have a section on how to use them with autos, I've done about 20 plants using this method and so far so good. No deficiency at all. Good yield amazing taste

Yes it is a little pricey but does make it easy for a noob just add water,
2 bags will go a long way if your working with 2 to 3.5 gallon containers,.
Just starting my first indoor grow with so hum using a 3.5 gallon SIP bucket,
water from the bottom (organic living soil ) Knats can become a problem when watering from up top.
