Live Stoner Chat Autoflower Grow Book Recommendations?

If you are looking for the most recent information on autoflowers, the last thing you want to do is look for a book. Even if published today, the information in there is likely a couple years out of date or worse due to the publishing process. Just for example, you will find nothing in any book about the use of the new two part MegaCrop on autoflowers. By far the best existing information on that is the thread on the topic put together by @Mañ'O'Green. Whatever book you find, you need to assume that new information stopped being added a couple years before publication.

This issue has been a big one in my checking books on cannabis cultivation. Everything I have located to date is too focused on photoperiod plants, too incomplete and generalized regarding nutrients, media etc., and of course too outdated given the changes in this activity in recent years. There are lots of books with pretty pictures and generalized cultivation suggestions, but none that I am aware of (and I would love to be corrected) that have up to date scientifically examined information specifically on cultivation of autoflowers.

If up to date information on autoflower cultivation is what you are after, you will get more of it here than any book that I have come across, and more than the great majority of other online sources. What isn't originally posted here will often be linked so you can find it elsewhere - good examples being youtube videos by Drs. Bruce Bugbee and Harley Smith, and for coco cultivation, Cocoforcannabis.com. The latter website also has some of the best information on grow lighting and irrigation that I have found.

All just my 2 cents of course. Good luck with it.

Couldn't agree more. Spent 100 American dollars on books that had A LOT of big window generalizations. Plant deficiency pics are cool and helpful but could have found them with a little searching and question asking. Other than that, meh.

Currency would have been better spent planting jelly beans and hoping something would grow besides mold and fungus.

OP, I hear you on having a manual you can flip through.

Geez - maybe that's what I did - I thought they were a bit big for seeds. Can't remember much about it though...
