Welcome to the forum!

To clarify, when you said, “One of the things I heard Chris say is that (any maybe I’m taking it out of context) growing autos in containers using an organic approach is challenging.  On the other hand, I’ve heard from numerous sources that if you can grow tomatoes, you can grow cannabis.  If Chris is right, what should I do to improve my odds?”
What I meant by that is autoflowers in small containers with organic inputs can be challenging. If growing autos outdoors, you may want to do a 7-gallon container or larger. I agree; if you can grow tomatoes, you should be able to grow cannabis 🙂

You also said, “I’ve also understood from Chris that you probably don’t need any additional nutrients until about week 3 – 4 when the plant burns through the existing soil nutrients.  If I want to continue down the organic path, what suggestions do people have about additional nutrients/microbial additions, etc?  Are teas preferable to surface feeding?”
Check out BuildASoil Craft Blend. It’s an all-in-one organic fertilizer so you can get away with using that as your only input. An alternative fertilizer is KIS Organics Nurtient Pack. I’ve used both of those for years now with success. To increase your odds of success, add in worm castings. Sure, a microbial inoculant or even brewing a compost tea can definitely be beneficial to boost up the microbe population in the soil. Stash Blend is also another additive you could use which has silica, humic acid, beneficial bacteria and fungi, and a 2-1-5 NPK.

To sum it up, you could keep it simple by using BuildASoil Craft Blend only, but add in worm castings and Stash Blend in addition to that for better results.

Thanks for keeping us updated Silenttip. Plants look great! Really nice job there

Excellent job so far! I’m eager to see how they adapt to the training. By the way, some of your posts got stuck in pending, so if there are any duplicates, you should be able to delete them.

Looks like she is encountering some deficiencies. Do you happen to know what the pH and EC/PPM of the soil runoff is?

[mrgrowit]

Nice! I’m looking forward to seeing the results. Did you get two tester packs?

[mrgrowit]

Looks great! What strain is that?

[mrgrowit]

Some people do that, but I personally would prefer a fridge, or just room temperature. More info on storing seeds:

I see lots of amber. But is that on a leaf or a bud? Got a pic of the whole plant?

[mrgrowit]

I hope it bounces back for you. I’ve heard that soil mix is pretty good.

Excellent job so far! I’m loving these updates

[mrgrowit]

I think they will be fine, but I could be wrong. I’d love to know if they germinated or not. Fingers crossed!

[mrgrowit]

Beautiful!

Did you mean to include a picture in your last post?

Nice job! What organic inputs are you using?

[mrgrowit]

Nice! When do you plan to transplant?
