Anyone With experience Growing Auto Flowering Dwarfs?

Hello,
I was wondering about what the best soil to use for these dwarfs. I have a potting soil with fertilizer pre-mixed. the ph is rated between 6.0-6.8.
I am waiting for the White Dwarf seed to arrive. i have a HPS and a CFL that I will be using.
How moist should I leave the soil? Is there a rule of thumb.
Thanks in advance.

what kind of soil are you using? if it's anything like scotts or miracle gro with the heavy duty chem fertilizer it will nute burn seedlings pretty severely. not recommended, if it has organic nutes mixed in it should be fine

that's the right ph range for soil although i would try to keep it between 6.5-6.8

i've gone through many different soils for many different kinds of plants, fox farm ocean forest or happy frog are both excellent soils for MJ.

also i've heard that the autoflowers like less rich soils (less nutes) so your soil may be a bad option.

if you can't get fox farm or don't feel like paying for it, just get regular potting soil (the cheap kind that comes in the big 40 pound bags) mix it with perlite (not MG perlite, has chemical nutes added), peat moss (optional but highly recommended), worm castings, bone meal, blood meal, dolomite lime and a potassium source and you'll have top grade soil.

how many and what wattage are your CFL's
how many watts is your HPS?
