FastBuds Pineapple Express Outdoor Grow

I have fox farms OF and happy frog soils. I also have the Maxsea line of nutrients. I'm germinating in an inert potting mix, and once i get sprouted is where all advice is welcomed and needed.

Autos are fun cus they're easy I bet that would be a fun strain to grow

We have liftoff.

Not on the Pinapple itself, but I do on my most recently harvested plant (which shows my general setup). It was an auto Jack Herer x AK47.

https://www.rollitup.org/t/first-grow-autoflower-jack-herer-x-ak47.912356/

Day 2 of the grow, first set of true leaves are making their appearance. I removed a plastic cover I had placed over the cup to maintain the humidity for germination, as well as moved it to more direct sunlight.

I want to avoid stunting the growth of this autoflower as much as possible. I would like to transplant as soon as I possibly can, even now if it's okay to do so, to avoid transplant shock as much as possible.

I have Fox Farms Ocean Forest and Happy Frog soils. Should I mix them half and half or use one over the other? How do autos respond to these soils?
Should I transplant into my final pot size and if so what size should I pot them to? FastBuds says they will do fine in a 3 gallon pot, does that seem right?

Thanks for any help I can get!

What I've started doing is germinating in the final pot. I put the seed in a peat pellet (for stability) and put the pot in a low-light outside area, with a plastic dome over the planted seed. My germination times are about 3 days, and after a week of hardening with increasing sun exposure, plants can be moved to the grow area in the back yard.

Im growing the same strain and the same company except im going dwc indoor with 400watt hps. Thing is idr when i started lmao. So im in limbo mine fucking blasted off

Well, the picture above of mine at 23 days (outdoors) may or may not be a useful reference.

Hard to say man. Wouldn't worry about exact age, the plant will tell you when its ready. Next time, for your own piece of mind, write the date it pops above ground on the bucket.

How tall is she dude? You in dwc? What kinda lighting?

I will, unfortunately i gotta end this operation in 17 days. hoping to get something by then. Im running DWC with advanced nutes sensi bloom and im running 400watt hps light at 24/0 shes about 3.5-4 feet tall dont have a measuring thing.

Can I ask why you've got to end in 17 days? You'll need 7-14 days hang-drying too, I'm guessing if you can't have the plant there for whatever reason, you cant have hanging, stinking buds.

Explain your situation, I reckon the community can offer up a solution.

Start of day 3.
Any inputs on the soil and container size i should use?

Alright so this thing it's growing pretty damn slow, and I'm wondering why. It's growing outside with plenty of sun. Some days it's too hot and ill move it to partial shade. Its day 24 i believe. Plant looks healthy, just small. Has stretched out a bit too. Any ideas?

Bump.

Here's mine at 48 days from germination:



Nice development at the cola. This one might be huge by comparison with my other autos.
