I have only ran one auto but seen quite a few grows with em. No real point of cloning most autos. Ive heard not to lst them but everthing i have seen contradicts that. They respond well to some light training. Give them good light from the start, after you harden them off of course. You havd to really pay attention to what phase there in for feeding purposes because they start flowering when they want to instead of you causing the flip. All that said though i treated mine like a red headed step child and it was still great smoke.I love hearing different opinions, because it shows that there is more than 1 way to do it. My water flows out of the ground and taste great but that doesnt mean it is idea for starting seed. IIRC ph is close to 7 which I always had to use ph down while growing.
Temp in dome is 77* RH 99%
Can anyone recommend a good read on the do's and don't with Auto's ?
It seems I remember reading some info a while that said cloning is a waist of time ? The shouldn't be pruned / topped or defoliated ?
You'll want it up a lil higer. Right now. At least a foot. I go about 16-18 inchesUpdate and Inquiry The 3 seeds I stuck in peat pods have broke ground and are 1/2" Tall. Because of this I had to peek at the ones in paper towel. All had tap roots and 2 had shed the seed shell.
I went ahead and put them in peat pods. Now how soon should I remove the dome to get the light closer to them? I could put the T5's on them at the current height and leave the dome on.
Just haven't had time to read up for answers (I should remember this) Family member real sick so not been home much.
Thanks was worried about stretching . These big bulbs don't put off as much heat as the T5's nor as bright so I wasn't sure.You'll want it up a lil higer. Right now. At least a foot. I go about 16-18 inches
You're gonna get some stretching but thats normal, as long as they dont get too lanky.Thanks was worried about stretching . These big bulbs don't put off as much heat as the T5's nor as bright so I wasn't sure.
Hope eveeything is alright bud. Yoy dont need to pound them with light at this stage. They'll be fine.Spent all night in the ER so today has been tired and slow.
Of the 1st three to pop I have a 1", 1 1/2" and 2". 3 of the other 5 have just showed up .I have the T5's 12" above them with dome on. The only 2 that haven't popped yet are Mephsito Ripley's OG auto.
I am trying to keep the dome on them until everyone pops and first leafs opens. I'm Hoping these don't get lanky to start off with. I'm keeping temp between 75-80.
Thanks brother, my mom is in bad health and ambulance took her in with chest pains. They checked her out and said no heart attack and sent us home.Hope eveeything is alright bud. Yoy dont need to pound them with light at this stage. They'll be fine.
Im real sorry to hear about your mom, ill be praying for you guys. Ive read tye same about autos and pot size. Autos are so all over the place as car as size, what nedium are you in again?Thanks brother, my mom is in bad health and ambulance took her in with chest pains. They checked her out and said no heart attack and sent us home.
The T5 fixture is just 2 bulbs. 7 of the 8 are up now.
Does anyone use the peat pods? I'm trying to decide whether to wait until I want to go ahead and drop the pods in dirt now or wait until roots show. I would think doing it before roots are starting to show would disturb them less?
I have read to put Auto's in the pot you want to finish in right away. I know a big pot and a small plant is easily over watered. So Just how big a pot do you think is needed for the average Auto?
Hope everyone is well. Bowls up
I bought nothing but female seeds because I figured thats how my grows would go. I'm doing these auto's this time because its less hassle and should have weed by the end of Feb 1st of April. Unless hermies hit them I figure starting with 7 plants I could end up with 14-16 ounce which would last me a while.oh yeah bad news i tink i got almost all males in my flower tent.. when it rains its hist on me hah.
Everything looks like its working out for you on these. Dont overthink it. The only problem with autos is you never know what size plant youll get. That happy feog should get them most of the way there with a few ewc tea feedings once a week. Ready for the show!
They're just not very consistent . Teas are super easy, i just use a handful of ewc, add some bennies, some compost if you want and bubble for 24-36 hours. I just harvested my last run and i have a monocrop of gg#4 coming up next. As far as yeild, thats always a guessing game unless youve ran the same clone in the same setup a few times.Been reading what post I can find here on auto's. Its like their a red headed step child. Seems their not very popular and most diaries end before harvest. As for size 45 inches is suppose to be about the largest. I guess its time to go check out Kray kray.
I know nothing about teas.
I am not really sure what I can expect as far as a harvest.
Its more about growing them for fun to me.
What are you growing right now?
