Growing Autoflowers | Ep.1 (Preparing Soil & Planting Seed)
Growing Autoflowers | Ep.1 (Preparing Soil & Planting Seed)
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.

Thanks. I’ve been having fly infestations wich came already with the Soil. I’m using need, but is a nightmare
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 😋
Shot glass in the dark will germinate your seed also
How many watt are your lamp ? For one auto flower 150w it’s ok ?
Do u need a intake fan or just leave the vents open ? Will it smell if open the vents
Noob
What’s the name of the app ?
Can you show me the pro mix soil bag
I’ve never smoked a beaver
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!
So that’s just promix, giya green , and power bloom? What else
Can this work for cannabis seeds ? I’m trying to grow I am a beginner and so lost on what kinda soil and fertilizer to get
Where are the links?
How much power bloom should i put in a 5 gallon pot? Im a noobie bro, plz help
Mask lmao
Hey man how was the ETHOS ??
I just come across your channel. I’m going to give your soil suggestion a try in a couple weeks.
Why not use tweezers RO set the seed
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.
The blessed plant
Love that ll you did 😂
You are much better off planting seed straight into the soil.
How many tablespoons of 444 and 284 did you use to amend the 5 gallon pot??????
my god its a weed its not rocket science
Bruh I got the same hair and same coat. Love the style bro
What’s the soil? Just a commercial potting soil?
I’m try to grow even if it’s boof I’ll just make it into hash
The seed had been germinated on like a warming tray so we will never know for sure.
Go check out my grow growmies(:
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’m a new grower. What soil do you suggest?
👏👏👏👏
Why not use tweezers RO set the seed
What app are you using for the light to see what you need the lighting at
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!
Grow dot for the win when growing autos
Why would you want to grow auto’s from seed indoors using low power LEDs?
That would be a pointless thing to do.. Grow proper Strains and Use proper HID lamps.
PS: If you are considering not feeding the plant during the bloom stage then you have no idea what you are doing & I bet you got less than 2oz trimmed and dried due to using that crappy light.
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
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?
Explain to me why I would choose to grow Auto-flowering plants rather than regular Plants? I’ve never seen any reason to grow them at all other than for Outdoors growing in climates not suitable for regular strains. Why would anyone actually choose to grow autos from seeds rather than growing rooted clones from a proven plant?
Those are my only questions.
Do you have a link for the bug strips? I can’t find them anywhere.
What about this vid was AutoFlower specific?
What is the thing the pot plant is sitting on ???
I tried a 24hr light schedule. I wouldn’t recommend it. I feel like it stunted the growth of my plant, the buds it has are great, but it didn’t have as many as when I grew 18/6 for autoflowers.
which promix did you use
Thanx from thge smoking groundhog🙂 Very well put together I’m about to attempt my first auto’s, wish me luck.
Ruderalis is shxt genetics and really shouldn’t be spread around. It’s nearly impossible to get the potency destroying genes out of cannabis. 1 cup of piss per gallon of water is excellent fertilizer. I have no idea why people waste money on fertilizer. All fertilizer is shxt since OKC when they banned ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrate.
Autos are pointless indoors and LED grow lights are not used commercially for blooming or fruiting Plants for a good reason.
Because they are not suitable and produce much lower yields the H.I.Ds.
