First time organic grow outdoors. Mimosa autoflower and Blue dream photoperiod.

[pokesmotter]

Got my Dad on board with growing cannabis in coastal Virginia. We've both been gaining knowledge over the last few months,and are about to germinate this weekend.
Seeds are Mimosa autoflower and Blue dream photo period, from Seed Supreme.

@Moe.Red We mixed our soil components last month,so they can find their groove before planting. About to germinate in soil,in a germination tray.
Trays have plenty of space for drainage, and include 2 blue, 2 red, and 4 white LED lights.

Glad to have you aboard~!
Ask any questions you got.

This is a good weekend to germinate aligning with moon phases.

Welcome @pokesmotter

If you want to take the time to spell out what you are doing the folks here can help you and likely save a mistake or 2.

I think you said you were Happy Frog and outdoor, but any other info would be helpful if you would like some feedback.

Succezsful soil growers all share 1 secret: 24 hour aeration (w/o w/o nutes) for H20. Divide H20 by 2 then water the first tranche slowly. Take a 1 hour break, then 2nd tranche. Every inch of plant surface area must be covered. Have you saved up any rain water? Start tomorrow or this weekend while singing either Roll out the Barrel or humming Little Green Bag. If all our sage advice is followed
you may grow 1/2 a marijuana.

We mixed 2 bags of happy frog, 1 bag of bush doctor, earthworm castings,and biochar.
It's been grooving together for about a month. Germinating this weekend in soil, in some trays I bought that have a tall humidity dome, plenty of space for drainage, and full spectrum grow lights in the lid.
We plan to transplant to five gallon fabric pots once the plants have 2 or 3 sets of leaves.

I think you will find you enjoy the photo more than the auto.
You will have much more control over it for sure.

I see you are learning where all the buttons are. Posting pics is very easy from mobile.






That's my current grow, just snapped those pics to text to my buddy @SweetLeafGrow

What I just did there was tag him into this thread.

to post pics, hit that attach files button under your post, select the images you want from your phone, hit insert, then full image, like this



Sorry for the bad arrows, I got fat fingers.

If you post pics as you go, the good folks here will help you along. If you have an issue, mods will tag folks in that we think are experts in what you are doing.

 

[moe.red]

One more thing, once you get comfortable with the buttons, head on over here

https://budbuilders.org/forums/grow-diaries.6/

and post a grow diary. Take a look at some of the others there for inspiration. If you post pics along with the products you are using, how you water, basically whatever you are doing the garden the eagle eyes here will spot issues early and walk you thru them. Growing outdoors is prone to bugs and mold. New growers tend to over or under water. Things like that.

I'm thinking so,too, but I had to give autos a try. Probably do two runs of them this season. Next year we'll know more,and implement what we've learned this time.

 

[steamroller]

I got autos going now by mistake.
But they look good for what they are.
Hard to watch [unknowing as I am] and not even really try to do something no matter how wrong~!
I fed them today~!

Sup and welcome @pokesmotter! Coastal VA eh? Im also in VA, but in the Piedmont area in the mountains. One thing I can say for sure is the humidity is going to be a MASSIVE challenge to growing outdoors.

Aka you really gotta be sure to grow something that does well in humid environments. Kind of hard to find BUT...we happen to have a breeder on here @dragonsflamegenetics that specializes in strains that do great in humid environments like ours and he has SUPER fire genetics.

I grew a strain from him last fall and DAYUM is it fire. So yeah if your looking for some outdoor seeds for VA climate 100% I recommend @dragonsflamegenetics.

The strain I grew from Dragons Flame Genetics, Triangle Death Skunk.

No weed Mondays are my goal, doing a Lent so to speak, not in the theological sense.

Ah gotcha, not a bad idea that. Have you thought about trying type 3/4 flower? Like low thc? I grew out some White CBG and Forbidden V and I figure it'll make my tolerance for high thc go down a bit while still getting to smoke on something.

 

[GoodShit97]

This definitely seems to be a very common problem with stoners
It gets jarred up and it's like a fuel gauge. You just watch it go empty and it's so sad
