What's up guys , this is my first time grow. I've done a bit of research and I think I'm ready. As it says in the title I'm growing the "Green-O-Matic" strain which is a small plant that flowers fast. It is an auto and I will be growing in a pot in the woods After 2-3 weeks of having it in a foam cup I will be moving it to a 2.1 gallon pot (8.1 litres) and adding compost to the mix. Any tips on how much to water will be appreciated, I'm looking at trying to only water it once a week because I have to ride to my location! My baby has sprouted, first pic: Another shot: If you guys are enthused, I'll keep you posted Also any tips since I'm new will be much appreciated.
G'day g'day ! Good luck with your grow , you will learn lots I'm sure Is your plot in the woods very sunny? Being an autoflower it will need as much light as you can get it to make sure it grows to a reasonable size . Looking good so far . Take care 42o
SA nice , you won't have to worry about the sun then ! If you only want to water once a week you will need to think about ways to keep your plant watered enough . Mulch , water crystals and a decent sized hole will help . Is this your only plant this season ? Looking forward to your grow 42o
Yeah I really do need some mulch and water crystals because it's going in an 8.1 litre pot. This is my only plant this season!
That could be a problem with a small plastic pot sitting out there in the SA sun withou water for a week , no matter how many water crystals haha A hole would work better for you in my opinion or at least burying your pot but it's all part of the learning experience I guess Being an autoflower like I said , you don't have as much time for recovery If you make mistakes so try think of a way to keep it watered and cared for . You'll be right , keep researching and you will find problems before they happen . I'm done now =) good luck!! 42o
Thought so So would bringing a gardening trowel to dig a hole be enough? I can't bring a shovel to my location

I can't bring a shovel to my location [/quote] G'day GtF, Get yourself something like this if you can, $30 at bunnings and it's awesome, roots , rocks whatever and compact. You'll definitely need to get that pot in the ground if you only want to water weekly and get some water crystals for your hole , listen to 42o he's a pro at this shit. Good luck!! Oz
