I figured I’d start this thread as I’m growing my first auto, and plan to keep starting another everytime I harvest one out of the veg tent.

I have a similar plan to continue growing autos in my 2x2 tent. I have a Green Gelato in there now. It started slowly but is growing vigorously in its third week. The seed germinated in the 5-gallon pot it'll finish in. I hadn't germinated in that tent before, and I probably had the light too low at first. Watering was a bit of a challenge, too. Next time, I might start the plant in a nursery cup. She looks happy now, though. The slow initial growth may limit the yield, but I'm okay with that considering this is my first auto.

I'm glad this thread popped up! I'm going to read through it and hopefully find some tips to help me!

I'm currently growing my first Auto in a small space, 20"x20"x36" because I'm impatient and wanted to try something new.
My 55"x28"x80" tent has photoperiods in flower and will be an Auto tent once they're done.
I just purchased an AC Infinity 3x2x6 for the 1 gallon challenge but once that's over I was thinking of using it as an Auto veg tent and the 55"x28"x80" to flower them in.
If my small space grow doesn't go as planned, I'll stick it in the 3x2x6 to finish.

Here's what my Auto currently looks likes

@Lockebox

Got an interesting tester from Speedrun yesterday. I caved and bought another multipack in the sale (such good value) as they had the Froot Fuel F3 (Iove the original) which you can't buy on its own and two other classics of theirs.

Anyway, the tester is their Sapphyr F2 x Squirt. Not seen the Squirt ever mentioned with them and had to go look up the strain (interesting google search ). Intrigued by it now.

The first seed I popped didn’t quite make it, it looks lit got turned around in the dirt and ran outta juice, but the second is Alive and kicking.

Valencia kush today will be day 2 from seed

A bit of a stretchy start because I forgot my light was set to 10%, but all is well and corrected now.

Valencia Kush day 7 from seed.I also popped another alchemist apprentice last night and will be planting in the next few days

Ha, I was gonna post the final flyer list here or on my thread but hadn't got round to it and also ask you the same! Great minds and all that...

So, I was after the Midnight Mass which they put on their provisional list a few weeks back but then seemed to disappear with the actual flyer.

Was half moaning about it on reddit and Daz kindly answered to say he's now saving that for Halloween this year but will be dropping some Midnight Marathon instead along with others not announced (e.g. Vanilla Fizz) as likes to keep surprises, which is cool.

So, I think the Midnight Marathon but v tempted by a few others I have to say. Mango Isle F2, Compton Quoolaid and the Milk and Quookies F2 (cos of the Bruce Banner lineage) are all in the mix I think.

What about yourself?

Hahah we are some great minds ya know.

Man I’m not gonna lie I’m overwhelmed! I want:
Mango isle F2
Dessert isle
Spice Melange
Chem n Qoolaid
Americhem Dream
Or if I really want to get crazy:
G Chem O regs

I still have a ZaMango seed left and am running another alchemist apprentice currently, so maybe I should move away from mango and Chem and do something like Milk n Qookies F2

Lockebox · Aug 4, 2024

Pretty sure I just decided on the Space Station Gold.
Gonna grab me a pack at 9pm sharp next Friday

lenhug · Aug 8, 2024

I've got a question for you @Lockebox

What's your preferred light schedule for your autos? I've so far always been an 18/6 follower but thinking I might go to 20/4 for the extra little boost with my current grow. I'm a firm believer in them needing some time to rest in-between (even though I know many swear by 24/0).

Oh and I've still not decided on what I want from the drop tomorrow...eek! Gotta pick a friend up from LAX at 5.30pm, hoping I make it back for 7pm. If not it might be a quick screech to a stop by the side of the road...lol!

Yeah I definitely agree with you buddy. Even if only for a few hours a day, I think all plants appreciate and benefit from a dark cycle.

I personally use 18/6 because my auto tent doubles as my photo veg tent, but I think 20-4 would be great too! I just like to save the couple hours of electricity as if it adds to much lol!

And I’m thinking space station gold dude
Looks fire and I love sativa weed, we’ll see what the surprise releases are but you can expect to find me orbiting

lenhug · Aug 9, 2024

Makes sense to me!

Space Station Gold looks They have some amazing sativas.

Looking forward to seeing what we finish with. My mate is now delayed so highly likely I'm gonna be driving when it drops....aargggh!

Sorry to hear that, looks like you’ll be making that pit stop haha!!
Drop hits at 9pm my time zone, so I’ll be nice and ready
Can’t wait to see the final list and what we both end up with! Good luck

Lockebox · Aug 10, 2024

So what’s the verdict? @lenhug
I grabbed a pack of Space Station Gold myself.

I wasn’t too interested in it personally, but it looked like the Chemdog 91 f4 was the first to sell out!
Always a good time on the drops, can’t wait to pop these after harvesting Valencia Kush!

lenhug · Aug 11, 2024

Good stuff man, yeh that definitely sold out first and can see why due to its uniqueness.

I went with:

Midnight Marathon F4
Mango Isle F2
Scoopski F2

Had to stop myself from getting more, got far too over excited...lol! My friend stuck an order in as well so we'll do some trading I think which'll be great.

And luckily my mate flying in was delayed even further so he was in customs and I was in arrivals when they dropped so I had plenty of time to sort.

Looking forward to growing some (all?!) of them next.

Right on dude sounds like a fire order! I was looking at that mango Isle and scoopski myself so it’ll be neat to see you run them.

I would have liked to purchase several packs, but spent the money I had been saving for it on a new board recently lol.

That’s awesome about your buddy placing an order so y’all can trade, if the shop stays open long enough may have to hit it again..
