Autoflower Tutorials

this is really embarrassing but I have to ask: what does a bud-site look like during veg? Does anyone have a picture that clearly shows them? This is my first grow and its all new to me, im trying to figure out how many I have.

Have anyone tried to use carbonated water? http://spot.colorado.edu/~basey/ldanzell.html

Hi all, as the title suggests...do you think there's an ideal amount of tops an autoflower should have before yield diminishes? For example, the reasons I ask is because I have never been able to achieve those big long 'donkey' colas that I see from so many growers on here, despite following the same regimes etc. Lighting is not my issue, nor is nutrients. Could be unstable temperatures (ranges from 22-26c), could be too much training, which I suspect... I have always trained (ponytailed from day 14, LST, leaf tucking, lollipopping) etc and have always endeavoured to get the maximum amount of tops per plant - sometimes this results in up to 12-18 small to medium 'dominant' colas - but none of these colas exceed, say, 4-5 inches in...

When do you top and at what node? How many times do you top? 1 time topped for 2 colas and then low stress train? 2 times topped for 4 colas and then low stress train or 3 times topped for 8 colas and low stress train? Also when do you defoliate and how much do you defoliate and do you only remove lower growth (lollipopping) or do you lollipop and remove some higher fan leaves for better light penetration or do you not lollipop and just remove leaves up top so the light can penetrate the lowers also?

Is it okay to remove larger leaves near the end of the grow to let more light into the plant and more energy to the flowers? Last two weeks? When?

hey guys, i just want to ask some stuff. i plan my next round with 3 Ladys: 2x Mephisto´s Sour Crack 1x Northern Cheese Haze as medium i coose Soil. I wanna use the bottom 50% BioBizz AllMix and the top 50% Bio Bizz LightMix i want to take BioNova SuperSoil Autoflower Mix when would you start feeding? i ust don´t want to stunt em beacuse of the nutrients I will place em under LED 20/4 anything what i have to look for? Greetings from oversea

Has anyone tried adding additional UVB to their grow room? I've read quite a few articles which mention it increases THC and THCV production so was thinking of getting some sort of reptile bulb in there if it's worth it. Sarah Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

What kind of training do you do to your autoflower plants? Do you top? Do you low stress train? Do you fim? Do you defoliate any leaves in veg or budding to allow light to lower branches or do you just let them grow natural? Read mixed reviews on training methods for autos and wanted to see what you all do to your autoflowering plants to get bigger yields? I have read high stress training such as topping or fimming or defoliating can slow down growth and be bad for autos? Or is this just a myth? I plan on only low stress training my plants this round on the autos. But might experiment with 1 plant to see if it yields better than her sister of the same strain.

14 days since she sprouted her head and I'm 3 days into LST read load of guides watched loads of videos. Can anyone confirm what I'm doing is correct please? Sent from my CUBOT MAX using Tapatalk

has anyone ever had an auto that produced the goods super fast?

As far as I have understood there is not wise to start the male and female at the same time when the goal is to make seeds because the pollen will be ready too early and the result will be a few seeds only. So I have read that males should be put in a darker and cooler place until the female have fatten up some and ready to be pollinated with several more seeds as a result. So the question heres is how many weeks into flowering should we wait until we introduce the male to the female?

Just looking at the trichomes on my Bloody Skunk and to me (newbie) they look milky. 7 weeks in and I’m just wondering now, how far away I am from the harvest window. Any advice or info would be most appreciated.

I plan to cross my most Indica looking strain with my most Sativa looking, aim for 200 seeds or more and hopefully the Indica/Sativa cross give uniform F1 seeds to use for side by side grows. Want to test out some ideas to figure out the most ideal way to get big yields with few plants(better to have few plants if ever my grow get busted). So lets say I get 200 seeds, then I have seeds enough for 10 side by side grows with 16 pots each, calculating a 20% loss in weak or non sprouting seeds(20 - 20% = 16). So what do you suggest as side by side grow ideas to try out?

First grow and I discovered thrips a bit later than I would have liked... Panicked went to my grow shop they wanted £33 for pyrethrum and my lights would have to be off for 24 hours cost wasn't the issue it was lights off for 24 hours. Went to Wilko bought Resolva natural power after three treatments and pruning as well as a drought to kill off the larvae in the soil. All seem dead this morning plant has took a battering looks knackered. Just gave her a feed see how she is in a few hours but at the resolva works and it was £4.50 [emoji106] pics are before and after. Sent from my CUBOT MAX using Tapatalk

Hey guys, Currently on my first Auto run, have had about 12 months indoors with photos prior to this. I'm just curious what sort of harvest I could possibly predict or expect from these size plants? And if I'm on the right track. They're white widow autoflowers, with possibly shady genetics no big name anyways. 3 plants looks like 2 phenos But one especially is an absolute beast, they're about 6 weeks from seed at the moment. And I have hammered this thing, I've topped it, broken main stem, defol you name it! It can't get enough. My setup for this grow is as follows. 3.5x3.5x6.5 (1x1x2m) Hlg 300 3000k at around 18 inches from canopy. Shitty extraction fans but I have a syscom twin controller for them that works really well. I have a...

Hi all, I am growing 2 strains of autoflowers, Purple Kush and Pineapple Express. Purple Kush are 22 days from seed and Pineapple Express 17 days from seed. The PK started to show preflowers/female hairs today (these are feminized but I am still looking for possible males and none yet [emoji846]). My question is with autos, when is it safe to continue LST training till? I am only bending, tying down, tucking and light defoliation of large fan leaves blocking light to bud sites, nothing more.

Hey had a question about fastbuds g14 autoflower how long after pisitils start showing do they take to turn into buds

Guess there are a limit for everything so having larger pots than the roots can use will be a waste of potsize, soil and space, I want to use the largest pots the plants can use to grow as large as possible, but not larger. What is the largest pot(soil) you ever had an autoflower rootbound and what strain was it?

When growing outdoor up north the autoflower doesn't start to flower after 3 weeks, it's obviously too cold at night so it takes some more weeks before they start to bloom. So what I want to try is to copy the nature in a grow tent by keeping the temperature down the first weeks from some days after the germination until they start to bloom, at the same time I'm gonna give the plants lots of light(but I need to avoid the high temp so I guess LED is the only option here) Low temp and high amount of lights is how to grow strong tomato plants, can it work for autoflowers so they grow strong and get deeper roots before they start to bloom? And how low temperatures can be used without giving the young plants irreparable damage? Can 60F/15C...
