thinking of autoflowering seeds help

Perlite instead of Clay Pebbles I think.

B&Q Verve has produced some amazing results over the years for people, but it can have some problems. Being stored outdoors means it can have Fungus Gnats, not the end of the world but needs sorting e.g. by fully drying the soil out. I think Skippy dries and shifts his Verve. Another issue is it can be quite sodden compared to specialist soils. A few grows - especially under LEDs as they run cooler - I've seen people who have put 20-30% Perlite into their mix say it's not draining well and they'd up the Perlite mix. Saying a watering can last a week. Etc.

A lot of people here use Verve to good effect, but I'm running LEDs and my Plant Magic Soil Supreme was beautifully light and airy for drainage under LED.

Whilst we're on the subject of soil, I highly recommend Westland Gro-Sure seedling compost. It's fluffy as you like and got a good mix of vermiculite.

I'm going to throw an auto in some of this soil and leave it in the garden soon. I like the idea of lightly fertiliser soil for autos. Never grown one but it makes sense in my head

Too right mate. Soil supreme is excellent. My last plants (too long ago ) were potted up with soil supreme and granules and they were the best plants I'd grown up to the point I had to kill them

[QUOTECuiv heard that John inns no2 isgoodbut I see that it has a lot of sand and become very fast but my plants in 2012 were all good in this just looking to start the hobbie again so may need a little help as I go but once IV planted I'll have a diary going thanks everyone for your input

Vermiculite retains water, which might be handy in very small containers but usually people are looking to get the water out so choose Perlite instead.

Cheers, already viewed your diary and I've seen M_C's as well, both in verve and blinding....seems to be a bit of scepticism about it now (lots of unwanted in it) and not up to it's usual standard? Reviews on B&Q site seem to agree and I've seen it recommended twice today by chance so thought I would ask (cause I want to buy some ; !)

Glad you liked it, to me that shows it really hasn't got a problem, prob more to do with how some people use it maybe.
I used JI no2 for seedlings well out of all the verve etc I've used it only ever got spider mites from the JI so I'd never go back to that...

Hi there scunky probably a silly question but i wss wondering if there is any difference in the smoke between auto's and feminised sorry if it's a silly question just couldn't find it anywhere else and going to just start my first grow and looking at my seeds just now thanks for any help bud and good luck with your grow

[jake420]

Sorry skunky i meant to ask if there was any difference between the strength and yield between auto's and feminised thanks bud

[skunkybucket]

Well the the difference is a smaller plant and it's aauto so you don't need to change the light cycle at all and the yeilds are fine couple of Oz per plant on autos some IV seen some get 5 Oz depends on the strain and the there is no difference in the content but autos look good and are stealthy they are a little bit harder to do but they are fine just set a diary up and us fellow THC talkmembers will help you out a lot bud autos also just require sometime less bytes than photos but it's goes down for the strain and you looking at 10/11 weeks per harvest mate
