Autoflower Tutorials

Hey guys and gals. I recently picked up this item from my local hydro store for LST. I tied my girl down and went along my business as usual. Then today I had an idea! The stuff I got was essentially a roll of bread tie. What I did was pull my plant down a little and twisted a loop into the tie. Now if I grab the loop and twist it works as a pulley system and pulls the branch down slowly. Check the photos to see what I mean.

Can auto flowers be grown in cocoa using multiple times per day fertigation?? I have every Single time overfed or something because I have not successfully grown an auto flower yet using for alligation in cocoa. Can it be done? If so how? I have General hydroponics trio along with every option on their line. I have Coco I have pumps I have air pumps I have the drip system, I have everything and cannot get it done.

I read this in a thread posted by CJ Soma... He reallu hits some great points and it made me realize that we didnt have a "What NOT to do manual". These things are so often overlooked when there isnt a sfety reason to pay special attention to them. :thumbs: CJ! Wow I was completely lost lol after a lot more reading and the shame of my fully flowered 2 inch plant, I havent destroyed anymore of Stiches work haha. The plants I thought I ruined turned out ok thanks to everyones help ill put up a few pics. This will be my 1st successful grow and I only used molasses after I saw the 1st plant stay the size of a 50cent piece. I recognize my errors now and learned alot this grow im 100% sure i could have gotten bigger yeilds but...

I haven't signed in here in a long time, but I wanted to share a show where I just had a guest on and we discussed his Cannabis Growing practices. I thought it might help someone over here: October 13th, 2020 Comrades In Farms TFRLIVE.com Episode #9 Guest: Justin Goodearth Hope everyone is staying safe and well!

I wasn't sure where this should go but I produced an autoflower panel for Cultivation Classic in Portland and just released the video. The panel includes Seth Crawford from Oregon CBD Seeds and Jeff Lowenfels of Teaming with Microbes fame. Enjoy!

Guide: Maximizing your Personal Online Security Even in areas where the growing of Cannabis is legal, online security is paramount for people posting in public forums.

today I was giving my plants their first proper watering on Day 7 and I noticed condensation at the bottom of the tent about 1 foot up from the floor. I have my plant raised up off the floor about 2.5 foot, would I be best putting them back down on the floor again and is the condensation normal, I have no outtake running at the minute, would this be why?

First off I just wanna say hey y’all! Joined this forum today. Been reading here for a little bit. Enjoying the content and answers by some of the elders here. Soaking up everything I can. Total noob! Got my AK47 from weedseedsexpress. Out of Amsterdam. Did my research for a few months prior to dropping a seed. Ordered them the the beginning of June and didn’t receive them till July 20th. Dropped em that day. The whole Covid-19 thing with shipping. Missed some good sun for my grow!!! Anyways I just Planted in fox farm ocean forest And also grabbed the FF trio. I am currently running on day 58. They are 60 to 70 days. I topped all of em so I assume that would slow them down. So I figured that would slow them down a few days. Had some...

Plant Manipulation - Supercropping What is the point of Supercropping? Supercropping allows you to accomplish 2 things. One, first and foremost, is a potential increase in bud size through an increase of nutrient travel in areas of the plant adjacent to the healed wound, and the second benefit, if managed right, is an increase in overall production by opening up more of the underneath bud growth to available light. I have witnessed this quite a bit on lower shaded out branches on outdoor plants. Nodes close to healed supercropped wounds tend to have larger buds than those not cropped, and redirecting the direction opens up more of the under formed buds to create a better overall harvest. The second thing Supercropping does, is it...

Well, I currently have two plants growing. They're in a 4x2 tent with a Budget LED (Series 2+). The first is an ILGM Auto Northern Lights. It's short, compact, and nothing but bud. It's sitting at 64 days and the trichomes are still clear, so probably a few weeks to go. The second, and the reason for this post, is a Seed Stockers Auto White Widow. It's sitting at 59 days and is flowering, but just beginning to fatten up the buds. This plant is enormous compared to the Northern Lights. Big, bushy, and despite my best efforts, continually trying to touch the lights. I've had to supercrop quite a few colas in order to keep her at 10-12" away from the light. Anyways, today when I was doing my morning check of the plants, I noticed a few...

Any opinions on Tupur natural and organic Royal Gold ? My local told me it was comparable to the bio lite mix. Im 4 days into my first auto grow and have added nothing but water. The seedlings look healthy and my plan was to use up some of th FF nutes Ive already got starting once I have 4 real leaves at about 1/4 strength. Any and all opinions, tips, criticizms welcomed. Thank you

I used to grow hydro dwc and easily knew how to adjust ph in my hydro water. Now I'm growing in soil. My soils ph is about 8 right now. How do I get it back down between 6 and 7? Feed with water ph'd at 6 or give a flush with 6 ph water? Or do I use sulfur or aluminum sulfate? I read that it can take a while to fix ph in soil. New to soil growing so I need some guidance please. Thanks

Looking for value but dont want to spend an arm and a leg like I did when I bought my bluelab combo meter when I grew hydro. I sold my meter and now I need a new one. Any recommendations?

Hi lads, I never tried any of these and im wondering if any of u did, im looking at the dark devil auto and the lsd-25 auto. Ts100 4x3 box I'll do 3 or 4 plants, with scrog. What are your thoughts on these strains? Help me choose please

Harvesting, Drying and Curing: A Guide to Finishing Quality Bud Harvesting: One trichome at a time The time to chop is getting near....but when exactly is that? Trichome gland colour should be the final observation when the perfect time to harvest is, but pistil colour is also a good way to see the final stage of a plant's life coming to a glorious end. Pistils and early detection of maturity : Some guys think that going by pistil(aka stigma aka "hairs") colour is a mistake, but I use pistil colour long before I need to grab a tool to be able to view trichome colour up close. I don't even bother looking at the trichomes, until I see 90% coloured pistils. What I think is the perfect harvest point, is when I see the upper colas have...

I have been growing a fastberry from fastbuds from orgeoneliteseeds, I am growing it in Coco coir and I'm feeding it with the complete set of roots organic liquid nutrients and I'm on week 5, or bloom one. My problem is that my autoflower entered into preflowering in it's third week from sprouting, it's week 5 now and it still has not started bud production. I have been feeding it now at least 800 to 1000 ppms with 5.8 to 6.1 pH of the nutrients with more of the Buddha bloom in it. If you have grown autos, what's the longest you have had yours in preflower before it started to enter blooming?

Whether you are breeding autos or photoperiod strains your going to have to have males, and to help you use less trail and error in selecting your males ( pollen throwing) Here is a little tip that helps a bunch. forst you need to decide what you want out of the breeding , if it’s flavor first like me you want the stinky male , the one where you rub the stem and he stinks like skunk or what we terp profile your chasing . Learn to associate smells with taste sheik you sample cannabis It helps tremendously in breeding. If you want yield or a strong plant, select a stinky short male. The biggest mistake breeders make is just breeding with the stockiest male. A plant has a finite amount of energy and when it’s all going to yield it may...

Hello All, Bit of a new grower here and have finally managed to get some decent results after 4 times of trying and wanted to keep on getting better! Thught I would out to test some of the training techniques during my next grows I've read about on this website (thanks all for the info!) to try and see what works best for me. Supercropped. CDLC - Day 35 I might have taken it a little further than advised in the post however the plant seems be doing very well. The walls pictured is the really bad side and is healing everyday, I'm going to leave it for now and see how she gets along. I've also pulled the branches out with tent pegs, will try and get pics of this with the next update Topped CDLC - Day 35 So I pretty much...
