Forgot to ask you Pablo,
So after you germed your seeds did you put them strait into the containers of fox farms ocean Forrest, or fox farm ocean forrest with added perlite or smthin ??
Just asking cause i'm thinking bout doing a MI5 and HBD grow outdoors and was wondering if putting the germed seeds strait into a bulk soil mix would be ok.? And do you know if transplanting auto-flowers would hert them???.

Cheers Pablo

Good luck

Rtoke, I just use straight Fox Farms Ocean Forest with no additives. It's good soil that has plenty of perlite in it already and works great for growing MJ. Yes, you can put the germ'd seed straight into the pot that they will live their life in. There is no need to put into a smaller pot and transplant into a larger. I do it sometimes, like with the 2 I have going right now - but that was because I was waiting to harvest my other plants so I could use those pots. I've never hurt an auto by transplanting. But autos do just fine (some will say better) just planting into one, final pot.

You should definitely try it out. Best of luck!

Isn't it true that FFOF makes you bud taste/smell like seafood?

Day 28 for the Big Devil and Diesel Ryder. Big Devil is on the left. Diesel Ryder has always had that yellowing in the center, not sure what that's about. The Kandy Kush is flowering nicely.

And there's a funky looking fly that is doing something unnatural to a honey bee.

Thanks King, yeah I'm thinking that the fly was killing/eating the bee? It flew away still attached to it.

I'm still not seeing any noticeable difference in the side branching as a result of LST'ing tho. Time will tell.

That one thats eating the bee is called a robber fly, they eat other bugs mostly. Horseflys look simillar but the abdomen isn't the same shape and would more likely be biting YOU and not a bee lol.

You're plants are looking nice there too lol forgot too mention that, That yellowing in the middle of that lowryder seems fine. It looks more like genetics thatn a deficiency. A few of my plants have/are kind of like that.
And yeah robber flies are a trip, they remind me of hawks, but on a smaller scale.

Again, thank you. With all my autos acting the same way in the same medium, I agree that it's a genetic issue with the Diesel Ryder. As the leaves mature, they turn a healthy green, so I don't even see a point in adding a bit of Nitrogen. Just an anomaly with this particular strain. Cheers.

Just so you know, my Sour Diesel does the same thing, the centers where it is flowering is almost white, and her leaves are a very dark forest green, it makes for crazy contrast
