Autoflower Tutorials

I was wondering if there is a down side to opening up a canopy 7 weeks into a grow? Other than brittle branches is there any negative effect on the flower sites?

First time orgainic grower here . Looking for some feedback. Autoflowers 9 days since seeds went in the jiffy pellets 6 days above ground 3 days in final pots Seeds. Fast buds Strain gelato Soil 25% perlite 50% compost/moss peat mix 20% worm castings in a 9 little fabic pot. I have the 25% worm castings in the bottom of the pot then the rest of the mix on top.

Ruderal Species of Plants "WHAT ARE RUDERAL SPECIES OF PLANTS?" Ruderal species are plant species described as those that are first to adapt to/colonize lands disturbed by either natural forces (like fires, flooding, etc) or human forces (construction, roads, mining, agricultural, etc.) During or after these disturbance events, it's common for the preexisting competitive plant community to have been decimated or disrupted (typically killed off,) which greatly decreases the competitive biological demand for resources and leaves a non-competitive area for plant growth with freely available resources. Plants that quickly take advantage of this temporary circumstance are referred to as being “ruderal.” Ruderal species of plants...

Hello everybody, I am a new contributer here, but I have been lurking around for some time, with two grows under my belt now, second time, pretty successful achieving over 5oz on my purple punch autoflower alone. So, everyone has seen the famous @autobeast threads regarding his guides using ph perfect line by Advanced Nutrients, and I decided to use this line and Biobizz for my second grow. During my time learning about the Ph Perfect line, i have came across soo much information that contradicts each other. So, I'd like to clear up some common questions with legit answers based on my experience using them in SOIL. First of all, this line CAN be ph'd. It does not readjust itself like many people on the internet claim. I tested this...

Hey im new to the site, and to Autoflowers. I have a few beans of a strain I really like and am seeking some advice on how to do a seed run with one of my last remaining beans so I can keep her around Ive never tried to get seeds before so I would appreciate any info on: 1.How much longer to let the plant grow after normal harvest time to make sure the seeds mature. 2. Do I need to change the nutrients to help have healthier seeds. Lkke instead of using veg for veg and bloom for bloom, would yiu need to increase the veg nutes during the flowering period to help the seeds grow, or do they require a bloom feeding to grow better ? 3. If I self pollinate an auto do the F1 seeds. That you collect retain the Auto traits or do I need to...

Hi there, so Im just preping goodies for todays bday celebration and inspired by @Vapo I decided that Im gonna show the easiest but also the prettiest joint rolling technique IMHO.. Most of you probably know how to roll it, but I wasnt able to find it here so there you go :) Im gonna show a mini variant (2 rolling papers, paper roach, 2g) but you can do even 4 paper monster with classic joint instead of the roach (I once rolled 25g tulip, madness) what do you need papers, roach, string, weed. start by sticking two rolling papers together and prepare paper roach that you can fix with another paper so it holds its shape. as its mini variant I used roach about a size of a std. lighter (idk 5-6 cm ?) but feel free to use whatever size you...

Have been growing for almost 4 months (had two early aborted grows - now on day 59 and day 53 of current grows). Running infinity T6 fans and filters (both inside tents) at high settings as my lung room is about 75 degrees. I absolutely have negative pressure, such that I crack open the zippers of the doors a bit to increase air inflow, but the sides are still sucked in a bit. The lung room definitely smells, even when the tents haven’t been opened for hours overnight. Is this a sign the filters are dying, or is it likely just the extra inflow gaps I created with the doors?

The Weak Link and the Art of Training Yourself to be a better grower The weak link? Training the grower to be a better grower? What is this? It's like this.... A plant in a perfect environment, combined with a perfect feeding schedule will result in perfectly grown plant. Most of us will never get to grow under absolutely optimal conditions. Whether your space is a little too warm, or too dry, or too damp, there is usually a challenge or two to overcome in a grow, if you ever hope to get close to perfection. In some climates, it is impossible to get it perfect, with most outdoor growers knowing exactly what I am talking about. Indoors is easier to manipulate environments closer to perfection, but even still some challenges are very...

These are the seeds that I have. I have never grown outdoors so all the help u guys & gals can give I would reall appreciate it. I’ve grown cd x cdlc sc ss wc ta prb mc gdb all inside tho. I would like to grow 10 of these strains this summer! We get our first frost here around November

I'm growing Glueberry Auto's using an Autopot system with coco coir and Canna A/B at 52ml each, Bulletproof 3.5 ml, and CalMag 30ml, all numbers are total dose in 8 gallons of H2o. Using Kind K5 XL 1000 @+/_ 30 Inches from tops, RH btwn 35 and 60 (swings are tough to control) PH 6.26., PPM now 628 down from 770s (no overt signs of nute burn noted) These girls are approximately 7 or 8 weeks old at this point and are showing wonderful flower production but despite my efforts to adjust ph up from 5.5 where it normally sat, to 6.2 to open it for calcium have only shown a continuation of these Brown spots which 1st started on the lowest leaves and are now showing towards the top of the plant...reservoir Temps are good btwn 62 and 70F and...

Hey everyone! I have an idea that I've been rolling around in my head a bit, and that idea is to really build out and flesh out our tutorials that we have on the forum. We have an EPIC amount of information on this site, and much of it is pure gold when it comes to growing, but admittedly some of it is... well... hard to find. SO, I have been working on collating and building out cultivation guides based on information posted in threads by members, personal research, other sites, etc. What I hope to make this different then the ol' "copy and paste" that EVERY site has done (everyone rips everyone off it feels like,) is that we'd have the AFN community give their feedback on each guide/tutorial that is presented, and that we'd work...

I'm pretty keen to try doing a manifold grow on my Autos but not sure about the best way to do it. I have been growing 4 autos per run scrog style in my 4 X 4 and they are over packing the tent so I'm looking for a way to thin things out and make the tent easier to manage. I have them in a smaller tent for the first 6 weeks and then finish them in the 4 X 4. I'm looking for a way to have them trained and defoliated when they make the move. Because working on them in the 4 X 4 is nearly impossible. I was thinking that a manifold style would allow for this. I know they say you can't manifold autos but I'm sure that we know this is bullshit. So please chime in if you've run an auto grow manifold style and let me know the good and bad...

Hi guys im at week 11 with gorilla glue auto by fastbuds and theres still no sign of any white hairs or them starting the flowering stage. I did do some lst in beginning so expected a bit of stunt but should it take this long do u think. Thanks in advance guys n gals xx

I thought we could have a discussion about different methods of feeding and grow medium. Like the pros and cons and such. I am ordering an Octopot in a couple days will have it next week. I figured it would ease the switch to hydro for me. And I like the concept. But then there's drip irrigation which is cheaper and i can go to Lowes to get all the parts. So what's good wit' it lets chop it up :jointman: ~Cannabisius~

I know i am often lacking in space in my setup and I can't fit as many 7" pots in my setup as I want, so if I start a bunch of regular non femmed seeds I simply cannot fit enough pots in my small space. I started using "instatransplant" pots a few seasons ago and had excellent results using the technique. I found that you would get little to no stunting when growing an auto in a 6" pot for 21 days. A few advantages come with an instatransplant pot. First it allows a totally stress free transplant. Extremely low risk of shifting dirt, and no risk of a poorly timed transplant, as the "windows" in the side of the pots allow you to monitor your root development, so a transplant too late or too early is super easy to avoid, by keeping an eye...

Greetings! Check out this White Crack from Mephisto that has grown a double bud. It is located on one of the lower side branches. Can anyone tell me what this mutation is called so I can look more into it, or have any input on the subject. Pictures 1-7 Day 50, last pic is Day 44. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk

Hew all Happy New Year!:cheers: I was just wondering what your method of operation is and any great tips that I and others could use when growing hydroponically! I will start out with this trick I use. I do not use Rock wool or any thing like that my seeds, when sprouted and big enough for the net pots goes directly in to the net pot and is supported by the clay granulates. I don't know if everyone uses rock wool when they start their seed but I never have. I see pictures on the internet showing rock wool in the net pots then surround it by the clay pellets. So the problem I had was getting the seed and tap root big enough for the net pot and clay pellets. This is my little trick I use now. I sprout my seeds in a sandwich bag and...

Describe below your plant training techniques. I've seen people train autos on the site and I've seen other plants grown with no training. Just wanted to make a thread for growers to let everyone know how they train there Autos. Or if you dont train at all your welcome to let us know too. Ready? Set.... Go!

Hi,, Im about to start a new grow with Autos, first time and trying to sort myself out, Im looking to germinate and grow straight into the final smart pots without having to transfer, Could anyone help with regards to soil?, I have just finished growing using Biobizz Lite (not auto seed) and im pretty sure this may be to hot for them, Any advice regarding the best soil for Autos please, Cheers Betty Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

When growing indoors plant training may just be the most important aspect of increasing yield and quality of your buds. There are many diffrent techniques including LST, topping/fiming,super cropping,lollypoping ECT. This thread is for mainlining/manifolding. I'd suggest getting comfortable with LST and topping before attempting this. ***Step 1. Wait till your plants are at the 3-5 nodes I like to wait until I get 2 full sets of leafs. Even though you have 5 nodes cut her down at the 3rd so she's thicker and stronger. ***Step 2. Take the two nodes and tie them down to make the T shape to make your sturdy base for the frame to come. [Tip: When mainlining symmetry is everything. Try and keep both sides equal and even as much as...
