Growing Autoflowers | Ep.1 (Preparing Soil & Planting Seed)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2024
- A new series on growing autoflowering cannabis indoors is here! Today I show you how to mix a nutrient-rich soil and plant a germinated seed in a 5 gallon pot. Complex lighting is not necessarily needed right away, but I decided to set up my new Mars Hydro TS1000 light and prepare it for the seedling stage, which comes fast with autoflowers!
I'm growing a strain called Banana Daddy which was made by Ethos genetics, thanks to a grower friend of mine who gave me a seed to try (as well as the soil)! We can hope to see this plant flower much sooner than a regular photoperiod plant, and hopefully with a great yield.
Thanks for watching, and consider subscribing if you haven't already! Stay safe, and vibe on.

Dude I'm from Oregon and I have been looking for a guy to lay it down at an easy tempo who isn't backtracking and spilling knowledge at the wrong time about a problem that may or may not even happen,so I greatly thank you and I'll be watching your stuff for sure
Thanks for watching and leaving feedback man! I'm obviously not a pro grower and I make many mistakes on- and off-video, but I want to share everything with complete transparency and gather more knowledge from viewers so I can improve and keep sharing.
@@SmokingBeaver no man you are doing really really good bro. I am a new grower as well. In my first week of veg. Ur doing good things man. Helps a lot. Thanks
Hi, great video. When you say promix you mean promix HP?
Where at if you don’t mind me asking, been out here for two years now, getting ready to start up my grows again
You need to know about a problem that may or may not happen so you know how to handle it before it's too late
i swear to god your the first person i found that explained everything nice and slow and making sure cheers mannnn
Thanks so much! Glad you like the vids
Leave the soil level at least 2 inches low. As the seedling grows you can back fill to add support if it stretches too much. That will add to the root ball.
Jesus loves you & made a way for our sins to be forgiven, turn to Christ & repent for eternity in Heaven!!!
If the seeds grow to long that means it’s not getting enough light
@@manonthemountain if the light source is too far away they will stretch out to get closer for sure. Like when they are outside. However, you can use the method i stated to compensate. You can back fill all the way up to the cotyledon leaves.
what a great video! you can tell you’re knowledgeable and passionate about what you’re doing. i kept looking & looking to get the info i needed and your video was the first to where i feel like i don’t need to look any further, you answered all my questions. thank you 😋
Thanks so much for the lovely comment! ❤️
Nice work, man. I've been around a long time and have seen a few things. You're on the money!

Great video! Thanks for posting. What base soil mix should i use for indoor tent system growing autoflowers? Also what are the sticky strips called? Ill have to get some of those
I just come across your channel. I'm going to give your soil suggestion a try in a couple weeks.
we are now alowed to grow in germany and i start to learn^^ ...thanks for the advices...i will go on watching your videos...thx
genau aus dem grund bin ich auch da. nur ich will wissen wie man den gewinn maximiert den rest weis ich schon
The blessed plant
I wasted hours of watching Cannabis videos. Then I found your channel absolutely the best one.
That means a lot, thank you!
Oh lord
I grow in Ocean Forest with organic supplementation after a month. I will remember to plant it in a circle of Pro mix without fertilizer this time. I've read where OF is higher in nitrogen than in the past. Thank you. I'm planting an auto outdoors in a fabric bag in late April. It'll be warming up in coastal San Diego by then. Thank you. Nice taproot!!
I literally write good grow notes on the wall of my grow room. Can't mess up if the notes are right there.... Anyway.....
This video made my save list so I can write those lighting figures down. Thanks.
I’m just starting out and was looking for a one plant grow but couldn’t find one. Everyone has humongous grows 😂 I plan to get there but wanted to start small. Finally found your channel. Clear and to the point - super easy to understand. Subbed!
Hay dude just seen yiur comment I'm the issue. Not wanting g a 1x2 1x2 4.0 tent in the house to big for just me as I'm. Ot growing to sell. It's purely for me qnd ,qby give a buddy some depends.
I got a brilliant tent from amazon. Also LED 600w dimable light qs I know 600 is to much for the tent 0.4 x0.4 x1.0 1 plant tent was 50£ the light was £30 just w8n on seeds being delivered. I'm on the UK so do t have many spots to visit personally.
One auto isn’t enough gota do atleast two man. They don’t yield much. No matter what u do
Very nice !
Back on this video after a few several grow it’s good to come back to the basic after a break
Awesome video dude, excited to see how she grows!
Thanks man, me too!
What size light is that your using
Great video man, I'm excited to follow along! I just finished a grow where I attempted to use only Gaia green with coco, and I did end up with Calcium deficiency. Just something to watch for 🙂
I've seen online that coco coir needs calcium supplementation, while the soil I'm using already has it. I don't like having to add a bunch of stuff all the time so I'm happy with it 😅
Thanks for the tip!
When working with Coco it's best to buffer it with cal-mag before you use it.
I ran into that same problem first time using one of those all purpose type of fertilizer. Experienced grower told me everyone should have some Cal-Mag as a supplement and usually thats the one most growers turn the corner with. I keep it simple and go with 1ml per Liter. If you want to make your own calcium supplement, start keeping eggshells, a bit messy but inexpensive way, also some videos on youtube on how to use the eggshells.
If Coco wasn't that expensive, I would use it again, but, no thanks, everything else has gotten too expensive!
My upcoming experiment will be to grow cannabis in loose moss as medium, DWC hydroponic.
I grew in coco with gaia green and ended up with a cal-mag deficency. I caught it early with a weekly organic cal mag/photosynthesis plus/tribulus/1/2 tsp of unsulphured molasses and the deficency went away within a few days and it never came back.
I would use all organic soil amendments and nutrition and canadian peat moss instead of coco. Doing this correctly will eliminate any nutrition def or disease or insect problem. I have found also doing it organic creates the best flavor and effect by far bringing out all of the plants hidden potential. No need to worry about ph or nutrition. It’s best let the plant decide what it needs and when witch can change slightly over-the period of a day undetected of course. If you want do the experiment grow one in coco and chemicals and the other with all the amendments and mycorrhizae Canadian peatmoss and see for your self. There are lots of videos on this method. it’s the way cannabis was meant to be grown and how all cannabis was grown until recently. Most people don’t know how much better it actually is because chemicals will grow big stinky strong plants those plants lack quality in the most important areas.
Thanks for the video
Thanx from thge smoking groundhog🙂 Very well put together I'm about to attempt my first auto's, wish me luck.

Okay so I'm going to place my seed in my 5 gallon pot to germ. Before it pops out do I just mist within the cup or do I moisten the top of the soil also?
are nutrient requirements for autos the same as for photos? Do mnaufacturers sell different product combos (trio etc) for autos?
What app are you using for the light to see what you need the lighting at
Thanks
Thank you. Subscribbled.
I always thought it should be a 70/30 mix with 4-4-4 at 70%
Thanks for this. I am only growing a couple of plants at a time. I don't have any fancy stuff. I have a basic grow light. I do try to get good soil, and fertilizer. I am working on bruce banner auto,..hopefully, I'll have good luck. lol!
Did it turn out any good?

Very happy and grateful!
Bruh I got the same hair and same coat. Love the style bro
Great video! I noticed that you only lightly wet the surface of your grow medium. Question; when do you soak the medium until the water runs out the bottom?
I start doing this after the plant has developed a good root foundation, a few weeks into veg I'd say. There's no real steadfast rule, but maybe once the plant has 7-8+ nodes and is getting bushy. It'll tell you when it needs the water; it'll look soft and wilted
@@SmokingBeaver thank you brother for ALL your insight!
How many tablespoons of 444 and 284 did you use to amend the 5 gallon pot??????
Awesome video. How much of the nutrients did you use for both pots?

Hello, how much watts have your light ? it's a fc 1000 or tsw 3000 ?
Ok, my seed now is about 1inch and a half tall and on the first node, it's about an inch wide so I can only water around it about an inch my problem is how do I check for moister because sticking my finger that close to it is going to destroy the roots and I can't even use a moister meter yet because of the same problem so how the hell do I check it? just wait for the topsoil to look dry. pLEASE HELP tHANKS.Oh, and it's in its final 3-gallon pot.
pro-mix hp is soilless medium.
Can you show me the pro mix soil bag
Fertalizing new seed sprouts??
Brother please, can you link me the exact soil you used? It’s the pro mix but which one in particular? Just pro mix and both Gia green all purpose and Gia green power bloom, nothing else right?
Thanks for sharing! What size grow tent is this?
2.5x2.5 foot base I believe
2.3x2.3 (70cmx70cm)👍 got the same one, pretty durable, easy to build, great tent
the LUX meter stays the same around the soil at 3300-3500.....the other rating you said are HPS bulbs ratings.When the plant goes to the light,the LUX meter goes higher.3300 to 3500 stays the same around the plant too.
How much power bloom should i put in a 5 gallon pot? Im a noobie bro, plz help
which promix did you use
Do you have a link for the bug strips? I can't find them anywhere.
So it was basically just a little sprays of water? Not like 4oz into the pot?
Could you talk about one plant vs 2 vs 4 in that space?

Can everybody tell me what is that white in the soil???
Btw this the videos that i need very detailed.love it❤
That white stuff is called perlite! It helps aerate the soil and keep it less compacted. Thanks for watching!

Do u need a intake fan or just leave the vents open ? Will it smell if open the vents
You need a fan to pull air through the filter (out) and then a little oscillating fan for airflow. You don't need an intake fan for a small tent, the outtake fan will draw air through openings. I leave a small flap open to allow that airflow in, but as long as the outtake is capturing all the air it shouldn't smell (good filter too: amzn.to/3mYV575)
So do you pull out a cupful of soil, and fill it with peat moss and then plant the seed in that?

Woah watch out, you can feel the fertilizer in the air
Hello what the program name for the lights
How much do you use for 5 gallons of the bloom and veg mix?
About my setup.
I use 16g final pots for photos. These pots are loaded with nutrients, only need to water until harvest, fully organic.
How do I grow auto in these pots? Should I make a large hole in the center, the size of 18-ounce pot and fill it with media suitable for seedling to grow?
I like pro-mix organic with coast of Maine compost, as well as sheep/chicken shit compost. I add in a bunch of extra perlite and vermiculite. Cover soil with clover seeds when you plant your cannabis seed. Kelp meal, bat guano, and azomite wouldn't hurt either
So that’s just promix, giya green , and power bloom? What else
Hey Kyle, so glad I watched your video. All of your equipment is exactly the size I'm looking for. Thanks for the list! Do you have a video for the actual set up of the entire grow kit would be helpful. I'm not very good at instructions. I'll be using feminized seeds. Thanks again. How much power does this thing use up a month?
Thanks for watching! I never filmed the full tent setup, but I'm sure there are some great tutorials online if yhe included instructions aren't enough. Marshydro is very popular with weedtubers it seems. I did a very rough estimate with the power company we use and it was ~$13 a month with everything running. Could be off though...

Hi I have just finished my Plants in fabric pots,I will not be using fabric pots again,the water pores out the middle of the pot,and you have to put it in a bucket to drain then pour it back in again ect Ect, be using plastic pots in future. they were worth I try but didn't work for me.
The root circling is terrible in plastic pots rhizo pots really are the best to air prune your roots and promote more healthy root system. Get a wilma.
I know with organic grows, there are bound to be some form of bugs typically in the soil, and not the plant. I know that Its a sign of a healthy ecosystem.
So If you use worm castings would these tacky strips prevent any bugs from going towards the plant on the off chance they do?
Yes that's why he put them on the Brim. These yellow sticky traps mainly catch fungus gnats who's larvae is commonly found in soils.
@@WildBill496 makes sense, I just wanted to confirm that. Thanks for the response!

What is a good soil
What’s the thing with autos half strength or full strength nutes?
FREE SEEDS TO ALL NEW SUBSCRIBERS PLS SHOW SOME LOVE ❤️ HAVE STRAINS I ONLY HAVE..
Seems like you should mix the bloom with the bottom one half and the other with the top half and maybe a section of the blend in between.
Hey bro, is there any particular reason you’re not using a humidity dome? Sorry if this is a stupid question I’m new and just starter learning the very very basics lol👍🏽…A lot of people create a small circle around the seed and give it 30-40ml of water and then spray the humidity dome and pop it over the top for 2weeks is this just 2 different ways of starting the seedling stage?🤔
Using a humidity dome is best practice and I find it's more reliable for plant health. Not sure why I didn't here
Thank you for taking the time to reply buddy🙏🏽..My wife has several medical issues and I’m just trying to make sure i don’t mess up as we can no longer afford the £200 a month prescription fees that is charged for Medical Cannabis in the UK! Thanks again mate🙏🏽

I planted seedlings in a big pot and they kinda stopped growing. Next time I’m going to use small biodegradable pots and the transplant, so the roots are not wet too much.
Good idea for photoperiods but not as good for autoflowers. I haven't had good luck transplanting autos they usually get transplant shock and that slows growth greatly effecting yields. I think your problem was overwatering. Where the seedlings thin and stretched?
Also might be a good idea to get a pot sized humidity dome. Until the seedlings hit the 2nd or 3rd node I water with a dropper in a circle around the seedling twice a day, keeping them under light and under the dome. If you don't have a humidity dome you can just use a milk jug or a coke bottle using the bottle opening and a piece of tape for the vent. Good Luck if you are still growing...
For some reason Amazon won’t ship Gaia Green to my address??
Do you think it is ok to plant directly into the soil the seed for germination? im a first timer. :) I have autoflowering indica blueberry
I'm going to do that this year. I've been cooking some soil with organic amendments for six months . I'm going with Humboldt seeds this year.
Yes, it's okay. That's what I do!
What no farmers tan?
I planted mine in a plant starter kit with 16 cups in it. I've put them in a rubber made box with my grow light made in the lid. I have a heat pad underneath it and I have the light set to blue and heat pad set on low. I've got 4 plants growing in it, but I've lost 1 of them already and I think I'm about to lose another one that's why I'm contacting you. The one that's trying to die on my is drooping over. I water them every day with water bought from the store in bottles. I don't want to lose anymore, so please help me if you don't care?
Love that ll you did 😂
There's alot of money in this setup for just one plant... Spend the Extra and get a bigger tent that light you have can easily run 6 plants under it if space allows, the auto flowers only grow between 10-100gs depending on the strain , your using more electric then your yielding
The tent and light were sent to me as part of a sponsorship, so lucked out with not having to spend too much (got a nice fan tho). The electricity was roughly calculated at like $13 a month
What light (as cheap as reasonably possible) would be good for 1-2 autoflower plants? I don't want monthly bills going up a ton so a minimal setup is ideal
I didn’t bother with that I just bought premade single serving miracle grow and that did the trick.along with using pro mix soil in the red and black bag because it had coco coir in it.
What type of soil medium are you using. Is ProMix good?
Yea pro mix is good
Ocean Forest, Happy Frog and strawberry fields. It burned tips of leaves and they curled. Watered with CalMag and girls looking better. Can ProMix be used from seedling to harvest? Will I still need to feed? If yes is GaiaGreen good? Got recipe for CaliGreen juice and will try that.

Hi nice video I’m following I’m on my second growing I purchase the fan but I see you have a smaller one down below I purchased because I thought it was the fan could you clarify please! Thank you!
The big top fan is for venting out the weed-smell air and filtering the smell. It's an exhaust fan.
The small fan is for circulating air within the tent and helping the plant build some strength.

I noticed you didnt pre soak the soil, just moistened the top. Should I? Ive seen some people do that. Didnt soak my first grow, did soak my second, so i guess i can compare results lol
You don't need to soak the soil, as the really young plant doesn't like too much moisture. Just make sure it's damp where you plant the seed and that should be good enough
