White Fire ogk, Iranian Ogk, Iranian Auto (s.s.) questions

[PurelyFictional]

Hello, I plan to hatch these three strains indoors and grow to to about a foot before planting them outside. I plan to dig holes and fill with either Pro mix, or just mixing an organic soil. I have the following nutes available at my disposal. Jungle juice 3 parts, Big bud, Bud Candy, piranha, sensi bloom 2 parts, and supernatural super boost. I will be growing in 43 lat. Ive had success with iranian auto last year. If anyone has any questions about the strains. Iranian auto and iranian ogk come from drgreenthumb, white fire comes from ogras kal.

My questions are:
1. Should i use a soiliness mix like promix or mix my own soil using organic ferts? (compost, bat guano, worm castings etc)
2. is it okay to use chemical ferts with an organic soil?
3. how often do i water with nutes? promix vs organic soil.


This will be a gureilla grow, with good amounts of sun and a local river nearby.

WIFI FTW... i've seen some pretty variable success with the wifi outside, though i think a lot of that was pheno dependent. what were the average yields you got from the iranian autos last year? how about pheno uniformity? have you seen examples of wifi outside?

in response to your questions:
1) depends on the nature of your native soil; for instance, if its a red clay or any heavy clay soil i would not suggest planting in dug out holes (unless you also use a french drain). given the guerilla status i'm guessing you dont want to rock fabric pots, but if you are dealing with an iron oxide rich soil i would recommend doing your best to avoid incorporation of native soil. also depends on how big you want the holes and how easy it is to get the media out there. personally i prefer to avoid heavy reliance on expensive soilless substrates (e.g. peat) when there are usually much cheaper alternatives that will work just as well. how often are you planning on tending to the garden? this should also dictate the mix you use, size of hole/container, and fertilization strategy.
2) chemical ferts in an organic soil or organic soilless media is a tricky thing; essentially adding high levels of synthetic salt-based nutrients will almost always inhibit beneficial soil microbes. i have seen production ag systems where they successfully boosted yields with synthetic fertilizer without significantly compromising soil microbial function, but its a delicate system that requires a lot of familiarity with the processes and your system.
3) for either substrate its going to depend on whether you add additional dry organic fertilizers or not. also going to be strain dependent. unless you have an easy way to mix nutes i would recommend relying mostly on pre-ammending soil with an ample amount and diverse types dry organic fertilizers (i would shoot for enough to get you through july), leach the mix at the site or off site for at least a month, and then top dress as needed. seems to me that mixing nutes in solution for a guerilla grow is work you can avoid.

I haven't seen any wifi at my latitude before, the native soil isnt that bad, the amount of clay could be worse. the avg yield from my iranian autos were about 3-4 oz ea, planted in my backyard in a raised bed the phenos were 2 distinct types, christmas tree and bush, the bigger ones didnt produce as good quality as the smaller ones. the smallest produced the most sugary buds, i had 4 plants hidden in my garden. I rather grow with the plants in the ground, pots can draw attention to people even if they aren't familiar with cannabis. this will be my first big outdoor grow, as i plan to have multiple patches.

if it is feasible for you to get a bunch of amount of soil amendments to your spot i would recommend it. i have seen some monsters just grown on native soil with dry fertilizers (even synthetics), but i would only be comfortable putting plants directly into native soil that i was very familiar with (texture, pH, soil use history, salinity, pathogens, etc). either way you go i would definitely recommend turning the soil at least a couple feet deep before transplanting. i probably would not put in too much money or effort on making the perfect conditions for the autos or even guerilla in general (unless i was really confident in the cuttiness of the location). as far as soil amendments, its going to be very dependent on the native soil, but if i had to guess i would say that composted manure, vermiculite, lava rock, perlite, castings, etc would only help.

How did that grow go? Jah bless
