A pro tip i learned over the past few decades when putting seeds directly into fertilized soil, is to make a hole in the middle the size of a Jiffy or Coco pellet, fill that in with either Coco coir, or used Soil from other grows, put the seed in there, 100% germination rate and no more burning seeds with fertilizer, the roots will expand much quicker to look for nutrients. Its a win win situation. Been many years that i managed to not get a seed to germinate, but hey even after 20 years i have done it again and burned a seed that was in a Jiffy, i used mycos and kelp, apparently that was already too much for the poor little seed 🤣. Great Video, thanks for sharing.

[@k6meodmt564]

Love that idea! Thank you!

[@Wesmancan]

It will still burn a seedling. Hello.

[@jt70SEVEN]

Honestly I believe the reason you were burning was because you were making soil to hot. In a nutshell adding too much nutrients in soil. Basically overfeeding With seedlings less is always better. Which dude points out in video. Just get a bag of happy frog and don't add anything til after at least 30 days..it will have enough nutrition to thrive til then or transplant to a more nutrient rich soil Happy frog is mild for seeldling. Only time I've ever had seeds not germating is because of the age of seeds..

[@carmelzion1]

Seed souldn’t burn when using organic fertilizer because they are only avail once the soil microbes break them down. Seeds will germinate before that happens. In nature these natural fertilizer are available in soil and seed germinate just fine.

[@ranware2779]

Another easy way make a 2cm space use worm castings. That works good as well

[@philipdingmann9052]

Not sure if anyone is going to be reading this comment since it's being posted 2 years after the videos release but I just finished my first grow and followed this guide and my plants turned out amazing. I used the same nutrients (Dr. Earth) same soil, and the same size and type of pots. I didn't use the same light but the two I bought were comparable to the one used in the video. The only thing I couldn't copy exactly was the worm castings because I couldn't figure out which brand he used but I started with Gaia green worm castings but those were pricey, switched to wiggly farms and that was a lot cheaper. Otherwise everything was the same. One of the bags of tupur I got came with some gnat larva but a few waterings with some BTI took care of that problem right away. I've watched A LOT of how to videos on growing autoflowers but none of them are as clear as this one in my opinion. If you're worried about how your grow is going to go but you can't spend all the time in the world trying to find the best guide for you (this was best for me), this one will be perfect. I also ended up top dressing 3 times. I just did it everyone 21 days from day 1 and adjusting the ratios like is stated in the video depending on where the plant was in its life cycle. Thank you Stealth Grows for all your help in making me fall in love with the best hobby in the world!

[@keynosmith2208]

I’m in the process now of following the same thing I’m using Dr Earth also so far so good the only thing with mines is different is the soil i couldn’t find the bag he used but I got some soil in the same color bag except mines had the grey mountain on it. I researched both bags and they are both the same as far as ingredients can you tell me more about your grow. I’ve been a little bit worried about my seedlings because one is stretching out and getting very long

[@philipdingmann9052]

@@keynosmith2208 I got the soil he uses off of Amazon. And 2 of my plants had that stretching issue. Ultimately I had to upgrade my lights but getting some bendy gardening wire helped. I would create a loose loop around the plant so it could still stand up and rest against the wire and stick the other end into the soil so it was like a crutch. I've also seen plenty of people just let them flop over and the plant eventually just picks itself back up. Upgrading the light though fixed the problem faster. I did not start the grow out with a good light at all.

@@philipdingmann9052 thanks 🙏 for getting back to me

[@philipdingmann9052]

@@keynosmith2208 in all honesty I probably watered less then I should have been. I got it put into my head before I even started the grow that overwatering was one of the worst things you could do. So I was just using a spray bottle for quite awhile. If I remember correctly it was probably up to the end of week 2 or so just spraying around the plant, probably about 3 or 4 inches out to get the roots to stretch, after the soil dried out about half an inch to an inch down. After that I'd just use a one gallon watering can and use the whole can on each plant when the pot got really light in weight. Once I started giving the plants the one gallon of water they really took off, which is the main reason I'm pretty sure I was underwatering them before with the spray bottle haha

[@ADKWOODS]

I see many growers mix up their soil in one large batch and it is easier and a time saver. What you need to keep in mind when you do this is that one pot may end up with much more nutrient than the other. When mixing for a single pot you know exactly how much of each amendment is in that pot.

That doesn't happen if you mix correctly. You should be using a cement mixer to mix your potting media.

I like Dr. Earth as it does work really well and is easy to use. I had so many issues with my first round of autos due to transplant shock and all sorts of newbie mistakes. I decided my next go to avoid starting the seeds in giant pots but also avoid transplant shock I started them in Root Riot cubes but made the mistake of not having a humidity dome though they did well. I decided to start 2 more seeds by simply putting them in a small bag with paper towel them putting it on top of my light covered by thick dark cardboard until they grew a good tap root then planting directly into the pot and putting a humidity dome on them. I use coco and happy frog mix which I really like so far compared to other soils or mixes I’ve used. So far I’m happy with how well it worked and how much quicker they are growing. I plan on testing a few methods with different seeds so we shall see.

Only add microbes. Worm castings and maybe a batch of perlite every year or 2 and you can re use. Remember to re amend dry amendments after each harvest fort the plant used most of the amendments of the previous soil batch.

[@harrymartinez146]

What's your measurements for the seaweed and molasses mix and how much to give in a 5gal pot?

[@NoWayJose87]

waiting for the info on this.....

[@dCryptid]

Lol same.

[@NoWayJose87]

@stealthgrows help your amigos out bro. Complete auto flower molasses and seaweed watering phase

[@hashmaster3132]

Put 2-3 drops h202 in ur h20 and let root in water

[@r1conobe]

I'm just confused if you just mixed that up how can u use it without cooking the mixture for a few weeks so the microbial live is alive and feeding your plants?

[@garrettorganek111]

Following

[@kenshinhimura9387]

It comes with microbes in the bag and some of the nutes are water soluble meaning it's available right away. No need to cook. By the time you top dress the first set of nutes are broken down.

[@heethn]

Thanks for sharing! I have just one question. Why are you so concerned about watering with ph controlled water? Most soils seem to be acidic by nature. I'm growing my 1st auto in my greenhouse right now(almost ready!) in a soil I made from peat moss, compost, leaf mold, worm castings and perlite and have been seeing a lot of hubbub online about ph so I thought I'd check mine. My well water's ph is about 7.5 and the leach from my pot comes out at around 5.8 so I think ph is more of a worry with any type of hydro set up than it is with soil but I'm just an old trial and error vegetable gardener curious about your reasoning.

[@Treycotwright]

Really keep up the good work

[@RAYMTG]

How about for PhotoPeriods Same Feeding ?

[@9thchamber499]

Generally speaking, yes this mix should work well with all cannabis. You just might need to adjust feeding schedules slightly. Top dress every few weeks.

[@doingfreakythings9290]

I do not understand using paper towel after water soak, once soak and see tap root their ready for dirt. In all my years I've got 100% sucesss skipping paper towel if tap pops during water soak!!!

[@stangcobra592]

I like a bigger taproot than the soaking provides in most cases, I'll do about 12 hrs in paper towel after 30 in the glass.

[@Treycotwright]

Looking good man 👨🏻

[@Speedles33]

I do this without worm casting with advanced nutrients get the pros from organic and the speed and size from the synthetic my autos are monsters every time

[@dCryptid]

Still checking for the seaweed molases ratios 😂 love this mix tho. Researched a bunch and this one is simple. Tryna get away from bagged and resuse

[@BrianM-44041]

One tablespoon per gallon of molasses every third watering. One tablespoon per 5 gallons of kelp or seaweed meal, same with liquid. No need to overdo it.

[@BrianM-44041]

Alfalfa meal for veg too

[@xaviervargas2286]

Awesome video. I appreciate the information. Started using Dr earth once I came across your channel

[@LCS303]

Ur awesome bro great info!!! What liquid seaweed and molasses do u use???

[@douglindsey1692]

Excellent information 👌!

[@bzarone8063]

Loved the intro brother I'm use that royal tupur it's not so expensive I'm see how it goes and yeah can please explain the ppfd and dli for different schedules like 18/6 20/4 24/7 thanks man I have a hard time with that people say to run CO2 for higher ppfd ?

[@hewasdeadwhenigotthere46]

Co2 only required if EVERYTHING and i mean everything else is dialed in. I wouldnt worry about co2 unless you have a bit of know how and then co2 will boost yield by quite a bit in a SEALED environment. Thats key 😊

[@1MoistMike]

This helps me so much - thank you

[@F4Insight-uq6nt]

Why grow auto's indoors in the first place? Is there some advantage to do doing that? Surely growing from clones in an NFT Hydro system under HPS Lighting is the best way to grow. That's what all the commercial farms use.

[@erniehoffmann8568]

Hi my friend! Question! What is the see weed /molasses ratio per 5 Gallons! Thanks for your great work!

[@ronriley1695]

I followed this to the T. However, all the of my plants are showing Magnesium deficiencies starting at day 10. By day 15 I was able to diagnose and spray/feed a bit of diluted Epsom salts. Have you dealt with that issue on this soil build? 3 different stains from the Mephisto Genetics catalog.

[@stealthgrows]

Every now & then. Depends on the strain.

[@TheCommodity]

Day 21 50/50. Does that mean 5 tablespoons of each?

[@SPONGEPOT420]

2 tablespoons per gallon always. 2 tablespoons of total dry amendment per gallon.

[@Rizik1986]

Any idea what the ppm/ec is? Im a new grower but heavy into hyrdoponics, so i like to know the #s as i know what my plants can handle in water. I figure its less for dirt an organic dry amendments might vary as well. I use Advanced Nutrients liquids.

[@Rizik1986]

@@SPONGEPOT420 My first 3 plants I got about 2 pounds dry. I'm trying to get the most from my plants and why I trying to ballpark the #s. I really don't wanna end up with a bunch of quarter pounders lol I'm going organic as well. Dr Earth with Fish Emersion by Alaska and blackstrap unsulfered molasses. I started with ppm around 90 and get it around 300 to start. We will see what happens 🇺🇸🍀🙏

[@smoke29p9]

What's an alternative soil other than tupur royal gold? Thanks

[@9thchamber499]

Any inert medium such as sphagnum peat moss or coco. Just remember to add some extra perlite for optimal air retention and drainage.

[@christittle1131]

One of the seed banks said soak seeds 3days in dark then plant

[@9thchamber499]

Not the best advice...

[@infmsiz08]

What are you top dressing with every 3 weeks? I'm trying the same method you are using

[@w3vjp568]

So 10 tablespoons in the mix, 10 more at 21 days, and another 10 after 3 more weeks. That’s 5/8 of a cup at each stage, that seems REALLY hot. Dr Earth’s schedule starts out with 1/4 cup at the start, then 1/4 cup every 2 weeks. Have you compared your plant size and yields against their feeding program?

[@w3vjp568]

Well I guess I’ll find out, I mixed up 2 5-gallon batches today using your amendment recipe (using Pro-mix plus vermiculite as a base), so wish me luck.

[@aswitzer001]

​@@w3vjp568 how did it work out for you?

[@SPONGEPOT420]

2 tablespoons of dry amendments per gallon total. So if 5 gallon pot yes it will be 10 tablespoons.
