Live Stoners Hello from my neck of the woods!

[LoveDaAutos]

I thought I would take a moment to say hello to everyone who actually takes the time to greet and say hello to new members of the site. I'm hoping to find this site to be filled with knowledge and even tempered members who treat everyone else the way they would want to be treated.

A bit about me!

I began growing auto flower plants this past (2018) fall and winter after doing quite a bit of research. I have been retired now for three years and have always greatly enjoyed gardening....veggies and flowers until this past fall. I am on a pretty tight / fixed income so I had to figure out how to breed my own auto flower seeds to save myself a boatload of money. After a month or so of reading and note taking last summer I felt confident enough to give it a go. I bought a 2' x 4' x 5' tall tent and two 450 watt (not sure I'm allowed to say the manufacturer) light fixtures. I timed my seed purchase to coincide with the company's Thanksgiving sale. I purchased three seeds each of four different strains. These were all auto flower strains to include Quarter Pounder (my reversed plant) , Gorilla Glue, Stardawg, and Tangerine Dream. I was successful at producing pollen sacks on the Quarter Pounder plant. I used this pollen to pollinate a few buds on each of the four plants. So now with a good number of seeds in my modest collection I'm ready to learn all the ins and outs of growing auto flower plants.

I currently have one of my crosses growing QP X GG and although not a very big plant it has some nice colas on it. I'm hear to learn the techniques and tricks to growing larger, higher yielding auto flower plants.

Not long at the growing end of it no. The research began in April of 2018. I researched tents, lights, fans, filters, nutrients, PH pens to name a few. Then I started researching what I was going to grow. I liked the ease and forgiveness of auto flowering plants. I like how a light leak isn't the end of the world. So after researching for a couple weeks I determined that for me the best way to go was auto flowers.

Finding the procedure to reverse a female plant to make pollen was easy to find. The only decision to make there was to use colloidal silver or STS. I found an 8 ounce bottle of colloidal silver (50ppm) for $20 and went with that.

Hey there @LoveDaAutos welcome to afn! Sounds like you have a good setup and plenty of knowledge. Those crosses sound nice, I'm a fan of the star dawg line, but honestly as a grower I'm a fan of all genetics lmao. Hope to see you around the forum!

Hello&welcome

 

[LoveDaAutos]

Thank you guys and gals for such a warm welcome. I'm finding it a little confusing to navigate the site. And I admit I am not the most technologically savvy old man in the world. Heck I just got my first cell phone for Christmas and I'm still trying to figure that thing out. I'm looking for tips and methods used to improve the size of my auto flower plants. Currently I let them grow till they reach the 5th node and I top them down to the 4th node. That's the total extent of my training. I end up with a main central cola and four slightly smaller side colas doing this. I see guys/gals growing autos with a bunch of colas and I wish to learn how this is done.
