1st auto grow, soil question

[gxkon]

People swear by coast of maine. I personally have not used it. And imho when people complain that preamended soils such as CoM and FFoF being ‘too hot’, its because they try to feed it when it’s completely unnecessary until about week 3.

If you decide to grow please do a diary. Would love to see CoM in action.

Started my grow today had to bleach everything yesterday hopefully this one works out better then the last. I'm getting tired of smoking wax lol I need some flower in my life

When I tried FF I had to start adding nutes after a few weeks. This looks like it might have what it needs to go much longer.

Since it's an auto, if using a 7 or 10 gallon pot you might not need to add nutes at all. I would love to try this soil.

I got 5gallon smart pots gonna run 2 of em hopefully I won't have to add much for nutes till the end.

This screenshot is from their website. Sounds like 7-10 gallons of soil for an auto should be water only as long as the water is decent. Attachment 430923

How would I water this dirt? Normally I looks for 15-20% run off. Will that wash the nutes out?

It's a wonderful soil for cannabis. You should be able to to get through veg without the need for food. Once in flower treat your plants to a mild PK something near 0-1-3 early and once again as the flowers start to plump up. I try to water with zero runoff in my soil. The bigger the pot, the less you need to worry. I would suggest adding a little peat moss into it. Good luck and have fun with your grow.

With the help of y'all here on the forum my first solo grow went off very well. The genetics of the grow however were junk. So I'm trying a autoflower grow now from a spot with good genetics.

I'm using coast of maine Stonington blend.
Can I use that for sprouting and the seedling stage or will it be to hot?

Also Im Curious as to what nutes to use for that mix Attachment 430922

Just popped an LA Confidentlal bean (ILGM) in a peat pellet. The moment I saw the tap root emerge from the bottom, I planted her in a 7 gallon fabric pot filled with pre-moistened CoM's Stonington Blend. She never discolored or burned and appeared happy and thirsty in her new home. 1 week into veg, she's looking perfectly healthy and happy. In a 7 gallon pot, the company recommends top dressing in 1/4cup
Stonington Blend plant food two times in mid to late vag, along with their earthworm castings and fish bone meal, three times in early to mid-flower.

Is there a UK alternative?

Is there a UK alternative?

EcoThrive Life-Cycle (it's allegedly what they amend their base soil with to make it £40 a box)? Worm castings & bone meal are readily available...
