Cheese auto outdoor feedback wanted

Hi guys,

It's my first grow for a while and I'm looking for some feedback.

Two Sweetseed Feminized Cheese Auto's (One didn't germinated!), 10L pot, Organic fine compost from a gardening centre.

I'm in the south of France at the moment so just got it at the window.

I got the seeds late through necessity, I'm trying to maximize direct light hours which is my biggest problem (Averaging around 5hrs).

So I got one germinated and stuck in it's 10L pot and she is now 6 days old.

I have just been feeding her water but I'm going to add nutrients but I'm unsure what to go for although I want to stay strictly as organic (I have a grow shop near by, so recommendations please).

Given all of my limitations I would be happy with 7g.

Do you think this is possible, how can I maximize her yield?

Oxygenate your water with an aquarium pump. I have not setup my pumps yet, but this round i will see how things go. It's simple shit. The more oxygen in water= more available oxygen to the root mass. It works in my DWC setups, so, yeah.

Go to the store and purchase 250, 400, or 600W light. You could even use large CFL's, but a 600 or even a 400W lamp w/ ballast would be ideal. Keep your autos on a photo period over 19 hrs of light per day. I run my lights at 22/2, and I'm considering 19/5 for flowering. I have tried 18/6 in the past, but it never hurts to experiment.

Stick with soil and try keep things simple. If you have a could compost, you will not need to add anything to your 6.5 pH water, other than CalMag. If your soil is very acidic, then condition your water to be more alkali. If you add any nutrients, make them Bloom, but after the first two to three weeks, at earliest. Use a brace of some kind, like a tomato cage, not metal or a bamboo stick.

DO NOT stress your autos. Because of an auto's short life cycle, stress affects final yield in the sense that the autos only have so long. If you have a very stable strain or you are using a DWC method, stress isn't as much of an issue, due to the resiliency of the Genes, or size of the root mass. LST seems to do well, tho i have never tried the FULL bending of a main shoot.

DON'T leave your shit by the window! People in my country get nailed by the police for shit like that all the time!

Hoped any of this rambling helped. Stay Crunchy! Crunch*
 
Cheers for the feedback but I don't want to spend any money on lights etc. I know that light is the biggest issue but I don't have the money to splash out plus I have a whole indoor set-up back in Britain. Is there any particular organic nutrients that you could recommend? My plant is not viewable by anyone one else other than myself.

5 hrs of light a day? Thats harsh bro, i know u said u dont want to spend any $$$ i was just like you, then i finaly caved and bought a 4"4 bulb T5 and and since seeing the incredibal veg growth i havnt looked back. Best 150$ iv spent on my setup (shipped with bulbs)

You could just use CFL's? Would be a lot cheaper. And damien, Instead of "Oxygenate your water with an aquarium pump" you can simply put soda water in a spray bottle and just apple that way.
 
I understand my light problem but I would prefer to guerrilla grow than buy stuff as I have all the equipment elsewhere and don't have the money to buy it all over again. Where I am we are still getting at least 10 hours a day but my appartment isn't south facing so I'm not getting it all and I don't have access to the roof! I have only spent 25 euros on the adventure and that includes 3 plants for next year proper outdoor season, at local prices I just need a meagre 2.5g surely that is possible?! I might apply some soda water through a foliar feed cheers.
