2024 fall outdoor grow-cbrians vs autoflowers

[cbrians]

Please don't take this wrong, but why LST an auto? They don't usually grow very tall anyways?
Or are these not autos?
Oh, and don't use the mad face at chucky, it just encourages him.

hahaha. Don’t worry about offending me @cpurola I don’t know shit yet. I’m just trying to increase yield, I know topping isn’t a good option but I’ve seen a fair amount of lst on autos online. I’ve seen some topping and fimming too but I don’t know about that

all in the name of learning. do you have any auto tips?

In reality, I’m just trying to prove at @Oldchucky wrong, I wanna get about an ounce a plant.

His bet is 1/3057582020 of a gram per plant

Whatever gave you the idea that I am that optimistic? Two weeks in! Tick! Tick! Tick!

your doubt fuels me

I didn't want to ask why you were LSTing the autos. You taught me long ago, you do what you want regardless of. and your eucalyptus, hot horse shit, clay soil mix worked out for you. May your autos produce 2 ounces each regardless of what you do to them. Just to spite Chucky.

don’t get scared away now @Organic13 you’ve seen the worst of my grow

okau but now I feel like I’m doing something too out of norm with autos? let’s see how they looo tomorrow

Well, I've grown them outside every year and don't do much to them. They never get taller than me. (5' 2", eyes of, nevermind).
Last year I fell on top of one and broke the main stalk while it was starting to flower. The side branches took off and I got almost as much from that one plant as each of the others.
I'm experienced but not good enough to give definitive advice. (I'd say expert, but gnick will drop in and snicker).

What I've found is that for me, transplanting is not as terrible as they make it out to be. And a good fertilizer regimen is very important. This year it rained every 2-3 days and washed alot of it out of my pots and I was not paying attention until they looked yellow and sickly.
(was spending all my time with the photos. Bad me.)

I know @Galgrows LST's her autos, so you may wish to pick her brain for info.

okay I’ll stalk her a bit.

my only other auto was about 8 inches lmao so I’m maybe overthinking this one. I’ve got these inside so they’re pretty protected from everything but over heating. I’ll keep an eye on the food too, I had read they like a little less than usual so I’ve been going light

 

[Galgrows]

LOL well i sure have done a few auto grows. My best yields were indoors though and no training. Now i wish i had not tossed out all my empty coffee cont. i use to grow them in.

I find alot of containers I wanna grow shit in then forget and toss them too saw someone on the farm had some plants growing in a old playskool wagon, pretty cool.

okay, any recommendations? I’m doing a greenhouse grow, I have supplemental lights going 24 hours a day along with just under 12 hours of daylight.

I know I’m not in an ideal setting but I like the challenges

 

[cbrians]

less than 24 hours between photos. definitely gonna fuck with them more. seems like they liked it

 

[cbrians]

more bending on the bigger plants. cheese and devil are still a little young.

been over a day since chucky talked shit about my autos, someone do a wellness check

 

[Oldchucky]

Uh-oh! Looks like they’re starting to move!

little plant yoga! try it out?

 

[cbrians]

Didn’t take any pics today but everyone looks good. Responding to the LST well. Not sure if I missed something or I didn’t tie them down horizontal enough, seems like they aren’t shooting up the side branches yet.

Watered with the gaia/great white mix I made a few days ago. Smelled like ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. 9 hours after everyone looked fine so I guess it wasn’t poisonous yet

if they actually adhere to the 8-11 week grow time, I should be harvesting weed at christmas at the latest. If I don’t freeze them to death. Maybe they’ll get really purple? Who knows.

This is still blowing my mind! I have one auto seed that was a gift. Im thinking about getting it going, the math on it would put it out a couple weeks longer than my current flowering run! insane! I want to go throw it into some water but im being really lazy!

Have you looked into anymore ways to heat your greenhouse?

 

[Oldchucky]

Saw pictures on the other thread! Amazing progress! Holding steady now at 128th! Tick tick tick!

right? I’m curious to see how they do. I still feel
like autos are a myth, some weed magic from another dimension..

I have not it just got cold today. Even then it was at 70 something with the doors open. hope I can keep it decent if I just leave it shut, if not I can probably find a space heater at goodwill or something. If I don’t have one already

 

[BearWater]

It’s pretty incredible they can bread and “modify” shit in the way they do!

Man I was doing great up here and then I couldn’t get either room above 75 today! we’re going to need to get it figured out pretty quick though! Hahaha!

Dude right. I like working in the foundry, but plant breeding would have been a cool career. Looking like it’s gonna be a hobby lol.

I don’t wanna let it get too cold and hurt the plants, but I also want it to be cool enough to turn cool colors.

I ordered some black runtz and black orchid, I think (depending on how these do) I want to do those and some grape ape in the hope of growing black weed.
