Autoflower Tutorials

My hope for this thread is for people to post problems they have had in past and how they could of been avoided. That way growers of old and new can learn from each other's mistakes all in one place. Maybe a new grower in future will be able to read this and not make a lot of new person mistakes. Anyways I hope this will add value for others. I'll go first. I'm still very new and one mistake I made so far was being impatient. The other week I had planted a seed into soil and gave it a few days to sprout. I hadn't seen anything yet so I started digging down to find the seed. I saw that it had germinated but didn't reach surface yet. I left it as it was and I'm pretty sure I stressed it out messing with it and coupled with the fact it...

Recently I've been looking for decent alternatives to using either organic matter like wormcastings and/or bottled solutions and I've been trying to stay as close to safe practice as possible. Anyways I'm sure many people know that there's many microbes in your soil which do many things, but I've recently read up on, bought, and started using a specific few that fixate nitrogen from the atmosphere and act symbiotically with your plant. Not only can they keep your plant nitrogen rich and not overfed, but they also induce more flavonoids to be produced. There's also the method alike in no till of using Crimson clovers, but because microbes are so small and versatile you can even use these guys right in your main res...

Has anyone tried using the full dirty dozen kit from fox farm for an Autoflower? If so could you please give me the schedule? I am fairly new to growing in general, I am new entirely to the fox farm nutrient line. My last grow, that was my very first grow was just bag seeds but I used some wal mart nutrients and they did ok up until flower then they went to crap on me. I am growing in soil, using a 600w LED. My grow tent is a 36"×20"×62". Also I dont know how many plants I should put in that size space. Any tips/ pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The PNW Soil Mix: (it rains here alot) Water Only, no bottles required! Coco Depot Coco - 20% of total pot volume. (recommend them due to the larger sized coir they use) Fox Farm Ocean Forest - 80% of total pot volume. (Anything similar is fine, FFOF is just the most common and i know it well) Down to Earth Root Zone - 1/10th tsp per gallon of media (recommend them due to it having alot of unique species) Epson Salt - 1 tbsp per Gallon of media (recommend top dressing - 1 tsp per Gallon of media every 2-3rd watering. If its mag hungry, likely is) Microbe Life Hydroponics Dechlorinator (This is a must for living soil, you have to use this so you dont wreck havoc on the microbes) Additional Mid season top dress: One Shot - 2 TBS...

Hi everyone, So I am growing a Mexican Airlines from FB in coco with a quantum board and ph perfect AN nutes, and this is the first time I tried topping an auto. She responded.... Too well, she now has an even canopy with dozens of bud sites and I was very excited about it but now its day 31 and she has outgrown her space and still no signs of flowering. I am doing everything in the book, light defoliation, lst, leaf tucking and now also supercropping but still she isnt slowing down! My question is how do I "force her" to flower? Of I start feeding flowering nutes like big bud will it help her transition? Here are the photos As you can see, there is further horizontal space so I hope she starts flowering soon and that she wont grow...

A quick question to anyone who can help also @autobeast I know this is your field of expertise what's your thoughts So I have started to use LST in my grows I get that the goal is to get a even canopy but what a bout bud development during flower how do u get chunky colas on every branch do I have to expose the buds to direct light or the fan leaves attached to the grow site I have a auto cookies from dinafem seeds on day 42 and she's stacking nice I untied all branches around day 30 now the stretch has stopped should I tie the branches back down and spread them out for or just leave them be

Knowing how to prune cannabis plants can be tricky. Proper pruning techniques are vital to the health of your growing cannabis plants. Use this guide below for properly pruning cannabis plants through their growth cycle. ⁠ Throughout the growth cycle, leaves that are dying can always be trimmed off. Pruning dying leaves on the plant helps divert energy to other parts of the plant that would’ve otherwise been wasted trying to save the leaf. At the end of the vegetative state, trim out any lower branches that are receiving little light. Otherwise, these will produce small, larfy immature buds. ⁠ The next step for pruning cannabis plants is to focus on all of the main stalks and branches that remain. Trim out the lower bud sites that...

What getting three pounds per light looks like with my autoflowers

Hi everyone, I am starting this thread so I can gather info on how you LST without stressing autos. I have had a lot of success with LSTing autos, but lately I have stunted at least 3 autos that were growing vigorously and suddenly remained the same size forever after I LSTed. The way I do it is I wait until there are 4 nodes and then add a hook to the main stem and bend the top until 90 degrees. I am using fabric pots so I do not know whether that makes it more stressful. How do you guys do it? I wonder how sometimes I get great results and others it completely kills the growth. I was guessing it was strain related but since it happened on strains that others have LSTed with success in the past, I think it probably something else...

I am new at growing cannabis. I need little bit of help fingering if my crop is already to harvesting. Sent from my LG-V533 using Tapatalk

I am about to start my first autogrow. I will be putting my seedlings straight into my final grow pot. Can someone help me understand the amount of water I need to give my seedling to start with. E.g 2.5ml or 5ml

Hey so sorry may be newb questions I read all over internet what room temp should be and humidity and even my lux amount. But not specifics, do I measure temps of room or directly under light or both and humidity and heat seem to change under direct light as to off hung on wall as I keep seeing. Thanks for any info on this Sent from my Z978 using Tapatalk

Ok guys i have been dragging my knuckles on this for too long. This thread will be dedicated to my actual grow technique. I will have everything in here from the way i germ seeds to the way i harvest and everything in between. ill cover my soil mixes, teas, water adjustments, feeding schedules as well as the recipes for the soil and teas that i use. My goal is to teach how to grow the bud lumps you see in the small pots i use. I feel if you use this you may have the same success that i do when it comes to autos in small places. Bare with me as i will update this on the regular, but will be locking it to get it all organized.

Howdy folks. This thread will be dedicated to any of your electrical needs. Whether it be a question about your growing setup, or if you just need help around the house. I have many years of electrical experience in residential, commercial, and industrial fields. Just ask your question as detailed as possible, throw in some pics if needed.
