I realize this is a couple weeks old. Any luck? My setup arrived over the weekend and I’ve got some stuff to do before setting it up but that won’t be long. I’m waiting on some Vermont compost co soil a friend is getting hundreds of yards of for his tree farm. Anything I can save is important. He’s also saving me on the 5gal bags, because he ordered them wholesale. He probably won’t even charge me. I went higher than expected because I wanted decent stuff. Anyway, that’s at least 30 days out. I was thinking if I can get seeds fast enough I could do an auto in 2 months. Get at least some hands on experience, and have medicine sooner than later. This stuff has to start paying for itself. This is personal use for 2 of us, one heavy and one medium. Not looking for pounds out of autos. Just enough so that when the cure is done I can stop purchasing commercially. Then I can do my first photocrop. I’ve never used it and get mixed reviews from people I don’t know. I have to think if it was crap we wouldn’t be talking about it still.
Thank you!Look at Poekie's thread in the for sale section, great Autos and there's plenty pictures in the thread to see what they'll look like
Thanks. It seems Poekie can probably help me in one swoop. I’ve never had an auto (that I know of) but I’m reading good numbers and since I’m delayed on starting the photos, I may as well try and get a quick supply to get me through and start saving money from commercial buying sooner, which is the whole idea. I’d be in the black (probably bigger than I think) on supplies with just a modest yield from 5-6 plants.
Haven’t decided yet what auto to run some of the ones I’m liking take as long as some photos . Still looking

Thanks for your help and good will. I learned so much after the failure I will return outdoors next summer. It was a really bad one here. If not cloudy and rainy with horrible humidity, it was 95° and 90% humidity. My nutes were washed out of the organic soil early and my water has a sodium level of 70ppm. I was doomed and never knew it. Others in the area managed successful harvests, but there were a lot of failed crops. As I was chopping the salvaged bits I was already planning the tent. I was a wreck. lol.Think he should have something that fits your needs with sativa & indica
Try this thread & just ask for a price list & hopefully he'll get in touch with you

I grew only photos becasue that was all there was. It was a 5 to 6 month process to get decent returns. 8 weeks vegging, 8 weeks flowering...dry time, cure time...otherwise the plants were as small as autos are today. What we didn't have was variety and these quick turnovers that were done from...
Sounds like a right git with the weather but at least you salvaged something & it's all experience for the next time
You won't look back once you're self sufficient. It's the outlay at the start but beauty is you can grow for your own taste rather than what's on the market when you need a smoke. It's nice getting high with nature too
I noticed that too. I would be looking for something a bit faster. My other way of thinking is because I did have a dismal outdoor experience, this may be a good way for me to get my feet wet. Especially with what I’ve learned the last few weeks and knowing you are all here. If I failed again it wouldn’t be good on me. Have to admit itHaven’t decided yet what auto to run some of the ones I’m liking take as long as some photos . Still looking
. I’m still really anxious about this too because I’ve never germinated and started a seedling. I don’t even pull weeds. Once because I didn’t believe my mother that it had to be pulled so hard.
That would make the perfect indica for us to have. I’m just going to do one especially if a good yielded. We’d only use it at night etc. Now for 2 sativas (some variety) which I’d do 2 each of. The yields from 5 plants would likely get me through a photo period. Maybe not the curing, but it depends on what I’d realistically get. I need approx 2.5z a month for the house. I know where to get them but if I can do just as well here I’d like to be part of that. I feel like I owe it to the forum. It’s been good to me. I also trust people because I can see what they’ve done. I can’t order from 420 but I’ll find them if needed.
They were clones bred here as a private stock. They’ll do well here if I know what I’m doing. I needed to move them out of all the rain we had. I did no maintenance. The sun was tricky because to get the longest period I couldn’t get first light to take the dew off etc. I could if I wanted to be up every morning moving them around 3x a day. I also know now to cover them for rain. I know having them on the porch stopped the dew, same concept if covered at night with a tarp?
That could work if you still had good air movement around them
I think I hijacked this thread without meaning to. I am going to try again. I’m armed with a lot of knowledge I should have had before I tried it. I was supposed to have all summer guidance and a stop over once a week but to no one’s fault, things got in the way and it didn’t happen. Also, the water from my area was slowly killing them. Any nutes left in the soil were inaccessible. I’m putting in an RO for the indoor grow.
