This unique soil mix has been developed specifically for AUTO's - there's nothing on the market quite like it!: it's handmade by ourselves at Living Soils HQ using a bespoke mix of peat-free substrates and our premium organic dry amendments.
Growing an AUTO has never been simpler: this soil has been balanced out and mixed multiple times, so just place your soil in a pot, plant your seed and water it lightly.
This AUTO soil has been developed to ensure rapid, deficiency-free vegetative growth and frosty, aromatic flowers and is so simple to use: it's completely peat free, and all packaging is 100% compostable.
It has been treated with a bacteria that specifically targets dipteran larvae to significantly reduce the likelihood of their being any fungus gnats present as these may harm your plant.

How to use this product
Our AUTO soil contains enough feed to last 2/3 weeks of vegetative growth and 6-8 weeks of flower. For the largest flowers, we recommend top dressing with Bloom AUTO and Barley from week 4 onwards at a rate of 2-4 ml/ litre of substrate (1 tbsp/ gallon) every week until 2 weeks before harvest.
We recommend using a cover crop with our soils - its a great way to protect the soil from heat and bright light and offers numerous advantages for your plant. Have a look at our new cover crop mix for more info.
Watering
Initially water a little around the main plant only - then, when its a little bigger, you want to keep the substrate lightly watered with minimal runoff so water 'little and often' but do not overwater! Use dechlorinated water with a pH in the range of 6 - 7.

Storage
This product should be kept in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight with temperatures between 5-20oC. It will remain active for 12 months. If storing for more than 1 week from date of receipt, we strongly suggest the contents are placed in a pot as the packaging will lose integrity over time.
Reuse
Once a grow is finished, our soil can be reused - simply cut the old plant at soil level and re-amend with a full dose of Grow AUTO, Wormcasts and Reaper. Then water until 5% runoff to ensure there are no dry patches, cover and leave somewhere warm for a minimum of 10 days and you are good to go!
