Ashley's Outdoor Northern Lights Auto, May 2021

[Bhakti108]

I am a newbie. I purchased 5 Fem. NL Autos and am growing these outdoors with my uncle (he lives behind me). I made the mistake of starting them in a small cup of "organic" container soil mixed with some worm castings from Lowe's.... oops, rookie mistake ?? Hopefully not.

I transplanted 4 of them at 10 days and 1 at 12 days into 5 gallon grow bags filled with Happy Frog. Today, day 15, is the first day I have used water from the tap that I let sit outside overnight. My water is filtered in my house and prior to using tap, I have been using spring water.

They are growing their 3rd set of leaves as of today. I read a great article about how to water the plants around center, middle, and outer to make sure the soil gets pushed to the root ball for strong lateral growth.

I am looking forward to sharing the progress of my first grow with you all. Here's hoping I do not run into too much trouble!

If anyone has experience with an outdoor auto in Happy Frog, do you use nutes? I have read that most people don't with autos but I'd love feedback as to why/why not. I wanted as little maintenance as possible with my first grow but I still would love to maximize the yield of each plant so feel free to share some tips with me.

Pics are days 3 & 5. I will update tomorrow for day 16.

Peace

Howdy do and welcome to 420 magazine

There Is a hive of information stored behind the search symbol, but there is also a treasure trove of knowledge stored within the members.
The answers to your questions will be given.
Unfortunately, I have never used that product, or grown an auto outdoors, so I can't really advise you, sorry about that. Someone will be along soon that can help..

Have fun and see you around

Welcome to 420magazine my friend.
Be careful watering little girls. Overwatering can kill or stunt them.
Happy Frog soil is great but won't take you all the way.
Your going to need nutrients.
@GeoFlora Nutrients would be perfect for you. They are a sponsor and will help you with your grow. They are very hands on and are highly recommended.
I'll tag along and help if I can.
Happy growing friend.
Bill

Howdy and welcome. Yes you will need nutes with autos starting at about 3 weeks old. Agree with @Bill284 try Geoflora easiest to use. What is your climate like

Thanks for the tips... NJ is the climate, very warm or hot (83-94 F) with 20-30% or less humidity the past couple weeks.

That's perfect weather. I'm in the desert. Outdoor plants can handle a lot. I've been in temps 90 to 100 for weeks. You should do great.

My 3 plants 5/22.

Uncle Chuck's 2 plants 5/22

See how his are smaller? Not sure how considering we get the same light and water... same HF soil too.
