First Grow of Many

[MrFlex]

City water and I have a thermometer working on the combo

 

[MrFlex]

The pots drain holes and the seeds I bought thanks to the guys at herbies they have amazing service.

 

[MrFlex]

Hey guys so I been reading that I shouldnt transplant autos so what should I do when the time comes to pop it into soil?

 

[canabinerd]

Sorry bro, don't have any idea on auto's, I've never grown them and I have no desire to. But I would be surprised if that was the case, it's pretty easy to transplant without causing any major stress, so I can't imagine why. I know they don't clone very well, but that's all I'm aware of. Hopefully someone with autoflower experience will chime in.

 

[MrFlex]

My seed has sprouted yay!!!! I looked right after I got off work that little taproot is out and about will post pics after a quick shower and I will go about it like normal and we will see how it goes guys.

Is there any way you can plant right into the final pot??? If not you would just want to be careful transplanting. Autos can be stressed very easily and taking time to recover will decrease your end yield. You can't just veg them an extra week or so while they recover. Hope this helps

 

[MrFlex]

Yeah I am going to plant in the final pot I was just asking whether I should transfer it or not. Also pics of my baby and got a therm/hygro the thermometer is accurate with my other thermometer in the cabinet. They are sideways sorry

Congrat's Mr. Flex!

 

[MrFlex]

Thanks my ffof should be here in a little while and so how much of the perlite should I mix in with it? A cup or two or more?

 

[Christine Green]

Most people go with 20%- 40% perlite. I'd go with 30%.

 

[MrFlex]

Ok 30 percent perlite and 70 ffof and should I mix it very well bye hand?

 

[Christine Green]

A clean hand or a large clean spoon.

 

[MrFlex]

Ok I got gloves lol can never be to careful and how should I water it? I have some distilles water.

 

[Christine Green]

I water my slowly, starting on the outer edge, and making circles like a spiral to the middle.

 

[canabinerd]

I'd just mix that whole bag of perlite in with the entire bag of ffof. That would put you at 19% I think which is close enough. As for water, like pinky said, slowly and thoroughly. Distilled water is fine, and probably safest since you don't know the EC or pH of your tap water. Rainwater is also good if you happen to live in a rainy area.

 

[canabinerd]

Oh and do not use any garden tools from your garage without washing them in bleachwater first.

 

[MrFlex]

Ok so sterilize any tools I use and I'll get some ppm and ph stuff early January and I wanna just say thank you guys for all the help so far and all the help hopefully there will be in the future.

 

[canabinerd]

No problem, I'll be gone hunting for a couple days but I will check in when Im back.

 

[MrFlex]

Nice Canabinerd what are you hunting if you dont mind me asking and what you going to shoot it with? I personally love hunting in the great state of Tennessee got a 30-06 got from my father.

 

[Christine Green]

No problem MrFlex, I'll do what I can to help.
Have a great time Canabinerd!
