My first autos in spider farmer tent

[Spike8910]

Just waiting on my new spider farmer grow tent then will be starting my first auto grow which do you think I should try first any body grown these before

nice selection! the california snow looked frosty as hell.

just started soaking my seeds for my next grow. first time trying fastbuds autos- og bubblegum, strawberry pie, fastberry, and 2 pineapple express

I got the strawberry pie and the auto bubblegum have you got a grow diary

 

[HarryHood]

cool!

haven't started one yet for this grow. forgot to mention that i have the 4x4 SF tent with their SF4000. finishing up my first grow of ethos genetics and am happy with what i've achieved so far. there's definitely a learning curve which is to be expected. i'm confident that each grow will be better than the last.

click the link below to see my grow thread, but i've kinda stopped posting as i don't really do pics though there are some in my thread. chopped down a couple this week that were finished, but both pluto cuts look like they'll be finished in close to a week hence starting my fastbuds seeds

I've only done one grow that was photos so this will be my first grow with autos I've just ordered a spider farmer tent it's 150x150x200 but will be growing under 600 watt hps till I can order a sf4000 can't wait to try the autos

Your auto may flower prematurely bc full spec has red and ir in it, i have a 2 cycle light and first grow ran under full spec and plants flowerd prematurely, this does not matter with photoperid plants bc you cut the light cycle to induce flowering when your ready, i grow my autos under blue light and when there ready to add bloom nutrients change spectrum of light to full red or rather full bloom, autos yield less outdoors bc they flower much faster bc the sun is full spec, i hope this does not happen but i bought a spider farmer light bc i thought it was 2 cycle and when realized it was full spec called the good people at spider and explained my situation they agreed this was a problem and cheerfully refunded my mony, im waiting for the company to come out with a blue veg light and was assured it is in the works, nice people! Good luck they will grow.

Please elaborate I’m a new grower and plan on running autos but have never heard anything about using only certain lights with a certain spectrum. I thought full spec was great and fully mimicked the sun

can't really speak to the science behind any of it, but i used a sf4000 from start to finish on my first grow of 4 autos from ethos and wound up with a little over 1/2 lb of some really decent bud. i'm sure others can point to flaws or shortcomings regarding autos, but i'm very pleased with what i was able to achieve for being a rookie

I have run many Autos, under both full spectrum adjustable and 3500k+uv/ir fixed LEDs. Never had any issues with pre mature flowering. I believe that would be more genetics than light spectrum. Only issue I've had was a batch of Auto seeds turn out photo period. Looking into 420 genetics for my next order so will be following along, good vibes growing my friend.

Some good seeds there. reliable breeder.
Enjoyed my last autoflower run that finished around Christmas. Was my first attempt. Genetics were good enough. but quite the variation between phenotypes. Some girls 3ft some girls 5+.
Most yielded 75-100g+ smokable.
Also under spiderfarmer. good luck with the gro

Just a quick update plants doing fine strawberry pie still looking slow

 

[Spike8910]

Big one is gsc and the small one strawberry pie it just looks to be alot slower than the gsc

my strawberry pie is flowering now. it's a relatively short plant, but looking good. the fastberry could have gotten some height to it, but i LST'd it. and the og bubblegum is short, stocky, and sticky!
the 2 purple punch from barneys i've going are taller than any of the fastbuds by about 4 inches. they're a week behind, and are looking good.

i've noticed during this run that these plants are cal/mag hungry, which is not uncommon when growing under led i believe, so keep that in mind

 

[Spike8910]

Just a quick update here's pics what do you think

 

[Spike8910]

Just a quick update this strawberry pie is a bush

 

[Spike8910]
