Hello to all. Going to try my hand at the Auto flower trend. I know, it's been around a while but new to me. To be honest I never even knew these forums existed till a few weeks ago. Not a real tech savvy kind of guy. But willing to learn all I can because buying a lid these days is way outta my budget . Back when I did grow it was put that seed in the ground and let nature do it's thing. My how times have changed. Anyhow, I'ma get everything I have so far set up then got this show on the road. Thanks for having me.

I’d recommend do not transplant autoflowers. It is hard to get right the timing or it’ll stunt. The tap root shoots way down right away as the first root and if it hits the bottom of the container it will trigger flower. You will end up with 1 foot autoflowers in flower and it will be a disappointment in yield. The smoke will be hella good and flavorful but no yield. I did a run before a huge one and half turned stunted it was kinda daunting but I suppose I should’ve done half in the final container to see the difference.

Never did autos again after that

Thanks for the info. I'll probably just start em in there one and only home. I'm gonna use this 7 gallon rain science bag. Kinda want to use just organic soil and shy away from the syn nutes I've been reading about. I spent a good chunk of my budget on the light. Spider Farmer g5000. Hopefully that's a good light. All the reviews I've read so far seem to be pretty solid. I'll try out one plant and see how it goes. Tent is a 3×3×72. Still haven't got it set up yet. Should do that today.

Thanks for the replies. I can probably push the limit with 2. I'm not a heavy smoker and don't sell any so if I end up with more than a couple of lids that'll do me just fine. I'm also in the process of acquiring a 10 ×20 shed and then I can spread out a bit. Wife don't want me to fill her house up with all the grow equipment so she gave me a lil space until my shed gets here. Plus she don't smoke. Anyhow. I'll take what I can get. I've done some reading on the Purple Cow soil. Seems a bit strange that it don't take any nutrients to go from seed to picking. I'll give it a try. They also have a seed starting soil I seen. Would that be something I would need to begin them in or just straight Purple Cow soil? This will be interesting. I do have well water and I've tested it with the ph pen I have and it runs in about 7.8 to 8.0. We don't drink it Just shower and what not. It has a softener system on it that I have to add some kind of salt. Not to sure that would be good for weed from what I have read. Now for seeds. I have some LSD auto, A-K 47 Auto, Gorilla Zkittles Auto, Northern Lights Auto, Wedding Cake Autos and a few others, I forget. Ohh OG Kush Autos and some kind of skunk Autos. Ohh Zkittles Autos. Had some Blueberry pie Autos from Fastbuds but misplaced them. I'm sure they are around here somewhere. One thing I been looking for is something to control my Light. I like the idea of it doing the on and off thing on a set schedule. But Im lost as to what I need to buy to make it do that. Would also be nice to have one for the fans also. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Another thing is , wife likes to keep the house at 68°. And won't run a heater in the winter unless it below freezing outside. As of right now the small space I will have the RH is about 45 and goes up to 60 sometimes and temps in the 70 to 78 range. Just a info on my space. Anyhow. If some of y'all more experienced inside growers can suggest any adjustments I'm all s. Hopefully I can pull this off or just wait till next year when the spring time comes and fence me off a space out of view and chunk em in the ground and let em go. Between the deer and the grasshoppers it'll be a fight. Thanks y'all.

Where are you located? You might have enough time to do your autos outdoors, depending on a number of factors.

That is true. I have an LSD auto outdoors right now in week 3. Plenty of sun left for one more.
