che

i got it for my mother plants .... but i feel it would be great in an autopot. on its own , it could be grand but too expensive. it is used for long term autopot house plants , or hempy bucket pots . tropical house plants etc
I was going to say maybe you could make your own on the cheap but even non-branded/fertilized pumice seems to be very expensive in the UK.

The government needs to build a volcano or two hehe.

i watch a few indoor house plant folk on youtube. they all switched to it for long term plants. less pests, less media needed for healthier plants etc . it is expensive , but it lasts a lifetime in a way for that use

Yup that's what I tell myself when paying for Seramis. Not an eternal media, dust comes off, eventually it will all be dust. But it will last a long long time anyway. And while you could get it all off the roots, when you're washing them the idea to just toss it to the compost heap, why not it will improve the compost, seems like a good idea pretty quick.... so even more is lost that way. Well not lost but repurposed.

Nice. Though I don't envy your stress before the sexing and handing out the reject. 60 is prison time numbers. Shoulder angel says stay under 28. Shoulder demon says don't stick to 60, go for a full field if the punishment is the same anyway hehe.

Oh they can be good. Fast Eddy was very good indeed. Auto Duck is nice in a piney turpentiney way. Lowryder was horrible tasting hehe but hey it started a movement. Those are the ones I've tried so far. Have a Gorilla Zkittlez Auto freebie in the fridge. 2024 spring windowsill option, perhaps. Might smell less than the Fast Eddy? Or do I go Auto Duck third spring in a row.

Hehe found my answer online. Some dude was worried. "I’m having trouble growing, we’ll not so much with the growth but I have a few weeks left on the z kittlez autoflower and there is No Smell, what am I doing wrong"

Sounds like a winner dingding

i have had a couple of beautiful big autoflower plants before. invested time in them. i did the in small nft tanks under the mars i have . grew one at a time in the tank. and both plants were not enjoyable for me. they did have some effect . but not what i enjoy , and the smoke and texture of the plants is a bit hempy

the same everytime outside. i tend to aim for quick or mould resistant photoperiod plants for outdoor use

Yeah Lowryder is notoriously poorly mold resistant and most available auto varieties are descendants...

But it is quick! Successful more than once, even more than twice, but possibly not more than three times though hehe. Outdoors. And actually never lost any of them to mold outdoors afair, just mystery disappearances. Spontaneous combustion, who knows. But well it depends on the definition of success because they weren't those big beautiful ones, like sub-10g plants. So photo outdoor ftw back then, maybe still. Small early tester branch yieds more than the entire auto plant. lol. But then you study the weather like a fucking meteorologist from August to whenever it's just time to give up even though it's not close to done haha. All in good fun though. Just the pointless stress, or maybe it makes it more fun, or maybe less, All i know the maters and cumbers just ain't the same, just can't get that excited, and I love cucumbers.
