I've never weighed wet herb, never saw the point. I like to grow autos because I can do a perpetual grow using one tent. Right now I am flowering my left over clones and one of the mother plants but I am going to be starting a new run of autos next. I grow autos in 10 gallon pots using coco coir/perlite and I let my plants dry up really good before watering. I have been growing autos for about 20 years, about 10 years ago I tried lst and leaf tucking, my yield per plant more than doubled. My average yield now is 7oz per plant, largest so far has been 13oz. Good video.
I'm a auto flower breeder and I definitely prefer autos over photos but I started growing autos because I had high heat and light leak lssues when I first starting growing and autos didn't mind my growing environment especially with the lights issue so I fell in love and never looked back
The reason I am growing autos is to hone my skills. As a new grower I wanted the most difficult learning curve. I believe me learning how to mitigate problems in autos in a timely manner will translate into superior skills with photoperiods. And as a bonus I get to go through grow's faster and should get the knowledge I am looking for faster.
Here is my number one reason for growing autos. In my tent right now I have a headband autoflower in late flower, ready to be harvested tomorrow. I have a strawberry cheese that just entered flower, and finally I have a CBD Harlequin that just popped a couple days ago. By the time the strawberry cheese is in late flower, I will pop a new plant. Thus I have a harvest every month. I have also found that having only a single plant in flower allows that plant to grow BIG...
This was my thoughts, I just won a raffle with 30 auto seeds but I've got photos that will probably be ready to flower before them. From what I've read I can leave the autos in the tent when I flip to 12/12 they will just grow slower.
I prefer photos. When I find a pheno I like. I can keep it as long as I wish. I have a cultivar that I've kept for almost 4 years now because it hits the spot. I've mastered its particular grow style and I can bulk it and train it until I'm happy to go into flower. I found another I've enjoyed for almost 2 years. I'm not trashing autos. I just prefer my options with photos. Happy growing. Great video.
I grow auto's inside from the end of harvesting (October) of outside girls to the beginning of flowering of outside girls. That's a good 3X6 of auto's. This enables me to have a continuous grow in a sense either in or out of the house. Seems to work for me. It's great finally of being off of hydrocodone since my spine surgery in 2019. Very empowering.
Someone who was like a mentor to me started me on an autoflower cause its what she knew best. She grows autos cause she's in a wheelchair and she can't transplant so autos are really good for people who want to grow their own medicine but can't move around very well.
u could not have posted this video at a more perfect time for me. i’m a new grower and everything i’ve been question u explained in this video. much love thx for not misleading like all the other grower channels.
I was relatively happy with my 1st harvest dry weight. Only 4oz from 2 autos and 1 was a runt plant which only did 1/3 of what big sis yielded. But 1st full grow completed so im happy. Great video as always 👍
@@gambitkiller457 im using a 100w too but not from mars hydro,got 1 cream caramel almost done with many orange hairs some still white making slowly flowers and then 2 northern lights first time growing ,hope all goes well
I grew an auto (Lemon Diesel) outside this past summer. It was the first time I ever grew weed. My buddy brought it over in a 3 gal fabric pot as a seedling. He told me to water it every other day & that he'd stop by in a month to feed it. He never stopped by to feed it so I use some of my dry "organic" nutrients, bone meal, & Epsom salt that I used in my vegetable garden. It got neglected when I went out of town for 2 weeks. Before I left to go out of town again I cut it down & hung it in the garage for 2 weeks. Trimmed it when I got home & put it in some jars & burped them daily. Ended up with an once and a half. Hopefully I'll be starting my first indoor grow this weekend as long as my lazy buddy brings over the clones he has for me.
@@Somecallme_Hud It was a very mellow and relaxing high. Helped me sleep good. I gave some to my wife, who doesn't smoke weed but because of her chronic pain she was desperate. She was seeing palm trees shortly after taking only 8 small hits.
I like autos because I just harvested 3 plants. I have one in 3rd week of flower. One seedling and as soon as my new beans get here 3 more seedlings. All in the same tent.
very convenient to be able to work on your room and not worry about light leaks. growing on a budget, it's nice to be able to start seeds a couple weeks apart, growing in a 4x4 with two lights...
I love growing Autos so far , its simple once You have your mixture of medium and nutrients down then 3 weeks later top dress and 3 weeks after that top dress again , so baasicly your just watering the plant ...I've topped some plants and some not ...doing some training as we speak on a topped plant ....Seeds and genetics also play a role...ILGM is my go too for seeds ...
These zkziddles auto where in 6 weeks veg. Wow today these girls are huge 3x3 in first week of flower. Thank you for your huge help with my humidity. You said if I wet the walls of the tent my humidity goes up. Easy and simple. I went from 30 ish to 55% when my lights turn on in the morning. Along with the ventilation fans. The tent is 99% in two weeks these zkz about doubled in size. Thank you for all your help.
I started growing autos becuz they finish faster and since I grow them in hydro, the yields are better than in soil, I also found that most autos I grow in hydro take about 15 days later to start flowering depending on the reservoir size. Also less chance of hermie from light leaks, I haven’t had problems with that since growing autos
I am getting into Autos now, so that I can more consistently have flower and multiple strains. The time saved on Autos, give me an additional run annually.
I grow autos in Texas, come April/May the humidity gets up in the 80+%, I can get 3 to 4 auto runs before bud rot sets in on my fems. I do get 1 fem run in during Nov, Dec, Jan.
I like Autos because they are discreet when growing outdoors, and take up less of your space when growing indoors. Basically just an extra house plant.
I'm trying autos for the first time. 1 Gorilla Cookie and 1 Amnesia Zkittlez. I have 2 purple alien photos heading to the end of veg. I've veged her for about 6 weeks and she's a bushy monster. She fills up almost half a 2x4 SF2000 kit. Only my 2nd grow with cannabis, I'm still learning everyday.
It all comes down to how you grow your autoflower, and the quality of your seeds. You have to get your plant strong right from the gate. I live in the NE and grow inside..summer sucks. I usually pull 4oz or more dry, and it is fantastic smoke! I dont have to worry about light cycle and it finishes faster. I grow in coco 4 gallon pots, do a little LST and let her go. :-)
I live in New England, Connecticut to be exact n we've got pretty much every seasons weather packed into each day! This is my first ever autoflower grow. I figured that cultivating auto's would be more ideal for a year round grow schedule to harvest a healthy amount every 30 days. I've got 4 strains going in a 10×10 grow tent as well as running a few jack herer autos and glue Gelato autos outside in 5 gallon fabric pots.so far the jack herer autos are all growing nicely!!! I'm using a 70/30 mix of coco coir(fox farms bush doctor coco loko)and perlite along with all of advanced nutrients coco line(sensi grow coco A&B, sensi bloom coco A&B, big bud coco) and the other recommended nutes from advanced nutrients as well. Simply for the ph perfect technology which makes the ph levels pretty much perfect each time. Any advice would be welcomed
What if you're limited on space? Say your grow tent is only an 2x2x48 what size pot would you go to then? I really appreciate all the information you put out there thank you 😊
I'm new to auto's, I'm on my first run and really noticed the lack of bugs compared to past photo runs. And by lack of I mean I have had zero bug issues. I even made the mistake of running a 24 hour on light cycle. Everything I have been reading says it is deadly to run a 24 hour cycle but my plants are very happy with it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I just chopped this green crack strain down tonight. It is 9 weeks and 3 days old. I think it's a giant. Also my very first auto!
another good reason for autos is getting a perpetual yield in a single, small-ish tent. i've grown one, waited 3-4 weeks, planted another, rinse repeat. it can get a bit out of hand though since you never know for sure, especially with a new strain, how big they're going to get, and i've been surprised by one or more at the same time getting as tall as i am and trying to take up the whole space. i've had a HELLA overgrown tent before... but it worked itself out :) or i've run an auto just to fill space in my veg tent while my clones got bigger - in fact i'm doing that right now
Autos in 3 gallon fabric bags, tried five but they didnt fill it out anymore in the root base. But with the three gallon fabric bags with coco and advanced nutrients, I've been getting six ounce dry yields all summer consistently.
started my autos out in the open and it was very dry and way too cool. my tent was full and only in 12/12. well it ended up flowering at 3 weels. my yield is gonna be bad but i'm doing a 4 plant auto flower run with amnesia haze next.
Good, solid advice for auto growing. Let me add... Be careful with your lights! auto's cannot tolerate high PAR in veg or early flower in my experience.
Yeah I know that every time I said something about auto flowers, I was just giving some crazy response that it doesn't get you high; but I have just bought some "BEANS" from crop kings and I decided to plant some outside ( know you mostly do indoor) but I have never grown them in or outdoor. Anything tips on the way you personally would setup...bedside the bigger the pot size the better ? Thanks for any help and being a real an positive person!
It’s all about having the right conditions man. Keep the temperatures in the 70s and keep the humidity between 45% and 55% during the vegetative stage. Make sure you have airflow. Keep the light distance where it’s supposed to be. And pay attention to what you’re giving your plants. I mean that’s in a nutshell what I would do. Heck that is what I’m doing.
I live in Southern California so outdoor grow is what I've been doing for 12 years and last year 2023 I had a really bad die off at week 6 and 7 of the flowering stage (Photo period) and had to harvest early due to them just dying off and wanted to at least save the ones that had the issue. I grow in a hoop-house so bugs aren't really an issue but something was attacking them but for the life of me I never found the issue. Had a couple growing buddies come by and look to see if they could find something and couldn't. The roots were fine, nice a bright, no necrosis at the main stem, and no aphids, spider mites, and grow only organically. So since this had happen and my harvest was only about two pounds and I use most of it for RSO, Balms, and edibles I needed to replace some of what was lost through growing auto flowers. I've never grown auto's before and decided to give it a try. Well they started flowering at only 6 to 8 inches and have no Idea why. Lights on for 18 hours a day, didn't over water or under water, use the same nutrients I use on my photo period girls and they look healthy but very small with respect to flowering. Not sure if this is supposed to do this but not sure if I'm even going to get an ounce from two of them. Anyway are there any other tricks you can add for outdoor growing autos?
Trying autoflower for first time to have a shorter season. Outdoor grows of photos in the soil in a humid environment like Arkansas can produce up to 3 pounds per plant.
Hey there I found this to be very helpful can I possibly share this info with a cool Hippie friend dude, I ended up letting wild stuff go In th3 garden was going to start late and notice wild stuff growing, it all turned into autos I'm not upset, this information actually helped alot. It only grew in veg for maybe 50 60 days I'd say more like 40 or 45 days, now it's up to my shoulder unmessed with growing wild and I've been doing kinda what you described I usually had photos in a garden facing the sun on the south side of a slope in my yard it just a small plot I'm 6 years ago a box size like 12 feet x 4 maybe dug last spring was last time it was tilled a good four feet but now I'm starting to notice in ontario auto's might be a good thing to start studying more. Our climate is whacky peace it gets pretty darn hot too imhave mine near a shed so you get just enough shade to notmgetnthem burning in the afternoon. Cheers
Right tool for the right job. I'm lucky and grow outdoors year round, in a hydroponics system. But I love the versatility and ease of perennials and would use on an indoor grow.
im on my first grow and so far ive ran into so many problems but i've come back from all of them.. from Pm to mites to root rot lol but im learning as she grows and its been an adventure. just received my a few auto seeds too. i have a buddy helping me as much as he can he has a dope grow and been doing it for years but i have also found your videos to be very helpful so thank you for these vids bro
I think i might hold some kind of record. I did a grow of some plants and two of them must have been auto's they finished in like three months at about three inch's tall and two buds.
Wow, that’s definitely genetics right there. I’ve had something like this happen over the summer in 2017 I think when I was growing outside and it was really sure, and it was just one big bud.
Just a thought but don’t microbes just go dormant when lacking water. And once they get that drink they come back to life? Or am I just bro sciencing this in my head?
Rock on… Enjoyed this video :-) I enjoy auto flowers why? For some reason I cannot explain I just really like the small plants and the smells are sometimes not as strong as Photos, which is easier to get away with growing in an apartment that you’re not supposed to lol lol lol and finishing time definitely different on the genetics the candy Kush compared to the critical purple the candy Kush auto way shorter plant 1 foot tall giant massive buds… it put out exactly 5 massive colas,She was growing in Coco loco Pete Maas little extra perlite and bottled nutrients… finished in exactly 3 months from seed… A little less than what they said she would finish at… but she was outside… I finished her off in my grow box… when we had a tornado come through I had to bring the little plant to my apartment throw her in my newly purchased grow box… because the greenhouse that was in my mom and dad‘s backyard is no longer usable I’m surprised my three auto flowers I had left were not damaged… because that building was destroyed… anyway the candy Kush her smell was what I call Pepperish, very earthy, and extremely sweet smelling she wasn’t a very heavy smelling auto flower until you broke up the buds… and she had such a beautiful like candy smell and taste I have more seeds definitely going to run them again this year… The critical purple, started her off November last year, and she’s still growing and packing on but wait, her smell for me at first started smelling like diesel and axle grease, now she has even a heavier stink, smell of horse shit, and earth, when you pinch a nice size buds she has a real nice heavy earth tone and a fruit undertone… I have to constantly spray every morning because it smells like a horse took a big shit in my living room… lol lol Day and night she is packing on weight… I noticed with her I watered one time through veg, she didn’t need it she didn’t ask for it especially when I used my dipstick… the pot was heavy, when she swapped over started throwing flowers… I am now watering and feeding every four days or so after third day definitely checking with the dipstick… she is growing in the same mixture of Coco loco bushmaster Pete Maas little extra perlite and A few different changes to my recipe extreme gardening mycorrhiza and down to earth products I got is in the critical purples growing media…The media is in a plastic growing container specially made for trees, it is exactly 4 1/2 gallons… She exploded when that mycorrhiza grabbed a hold…And with the down to Earth dry organic amendments I got I’m using no bottled nutrients… Only organic tea I make with the product… finishing time I have no idea? she still rocking and rolling… She definitely went past her seed to harvest time that’s for sure… I sent you photographs in discord after figuring it out lol I don’t know if you seen them or not but she’s a damn good looking plant I was told… and my friends, cannot believe I am growing a beautiful plant being completely 100% blind… even people at the dispensary that I am friends with, I showed them photographs of her and a few of them, are jealous because they do not have the green thumb… lolAnyway sorry for rambling on so long have a great day Mr. and Mrs. 420 Sceen happy growing peace from your friend in Oklahoma blind gardener Raymond…
I buggered up with 70 % RH during veg lucky I fixed it before the switch . It's the reason I switched to photo,s . There less forgiving . I'm a bit like you in the veg . I water when I see them drooping over lol. Oh there dry . They do love a dry spell it gets the roots searching for water 🖖
Dude love your vids I've learned a ton of info from u . U need to do a video on cleaning u bowls n bongs n why it's so hard to clean them thanks again ,
About the overwatering! Does that apply to coco? I like to let my plants dry out before watering. Everyone keeps saying letting the get to fry “kill the microbes”. What’s your opinion on coco watering?
The sun syncing is a huge tip. I noticed my autos later in the year were smaller bc the suns direction changed and was blocked by the fence. Keep the videos coming!
Do you think a mix of promix hp and sheep manure mixture be good for autoflowers or no ? Im gonna be trying to grow them outdoors this year in 5 or 10 gallon buckets
@@420scene in my experience autos take 8-12 weeks to harvest from seed. Photos take 8-12 weeks in flower before harvest. You also need the 21 days seedling and then another 4 weeks veg, so for me autos are faster. Saying that I've never had a auto reach over 1m tall. All usually stop at around 2feet.
My first grow, I was very aware of the weight loss. It still hurt, like a kick in the nads. Can I grow autos in just happy frog, or do i need to mix in perlite and coco?
Following since before i even really germinated a seed Now i got 2 autos looking straight hope to keep em healthy Can u transplant 2 week old seedlings into a new mix in a 5 gal pot I only got maybe a 2 gallon
3 gallon is okay if your using hydroton and dripper method but i guess this channel is all about organics...fabric pots are good too for air pruning the roots/prevent root circling. OG kush autoflower (whitelabel) grows 80cm-180cm and has extended flower of 60-70 days, recommend it but you need a 220cm high tent or train the main cola later on.
Another reason to grow autos is when you live in a place with very hot climate. Where I live, temp in summers gets to 115 F. Only have 3 months when temps are between 60f and 80f which are oct to dec.
First plants I ever grew I collected about 1.5P wet weight - thought I had mastered growing my first run. Give it a 10 days of drying and ended up with 11 oz so literally lost over 50% of my entire weight 😂
I am Northeast and I run autos as well as photos. The autos come in while the weather is optimal. The photos come in when it is the worst time for bud rot. I like the autos because it allows me to sample strains before committing to a whole summer for something i may not like. .I can do a run of 20 different strains in 3 months and not take up a ton of space doing it. Can't do that with photos. If I like something, it gets added to my photo list for the next season.
I grow autos simply because the neighborhood I live in is not the greatest and my plants would surely get stolen out of my yard. Inside is safer for me and my babies. I’m very limited on space as well. They work perfectly for my situation. Thank you for all your videos! I’m hooked! 🧡
I've actually never grew autos yet. I'm on my 3rd week of a photo and I thought I'd give autos a shot. Grabbed some sour d and some peach cresendo auto
Do the colors of the stems matter? cause as the plant grows stems change color. what does that indicate. i know sometimes leaves that might change color indicate it might be absoring nutrients and you would cut them to get a more potient plant. but what about the stems ?
I grew regular photo Big bud strain that grew 10 feet tall outdoors. So how big does the auto version of Big bud get? My indoor tent can't handle plants over 4 feet.
I knew it would lose it so I didn't bother weighing it until after it was dry. I was very happy with the results of my first grow 5 plants averaged about 4oz a plant.
If your growing outside there's a chance you might have a streetlight or motion detector light or even a neighbors garage light or porch light that might interfere with a photoperiod plants night darkness requirements during flower. Autos aren't affected by these light interruptions.
I would like to do that blue cheese grow you did where do I get the seeds I just want to keep it simple ocean Forest 50% and 50% Happy Frog like you said and some Blackstrap
Alright boys, finished my 1st grow. Long comment disclaimer. Maybe this adds to the convo. Got auto seeds from a seed bank in long island. Literally picked a strain because it was named after my wife's favorite movie (5th element). Started the seeds in a seed tray with tomatos and peppers. 3 weeks in, learn this was a mistake. Peppers and tomatoes can not handle that much light. The weed took off, had to transplant everything into 4" nursery pots. These plants were going in my yard but we had a real cold spring here in NYC so they spent about 6 weeks in the tent with the rest of my plants. Mid May I got em outside into 5 gal fabric pot. They took off, but so did a bunch of trees near me. By July these plants were 5' tall and getting about 5 hours of direct sunlight a day. (And none in bad weather). If the sun goes east to west, I had these plants north and south. The north plant blocked the south plant. The south plant stretched to over 6' and had almost no bottom foliage. The 3rd plant that was off on its own maybe got a little more light. None were ready to harvest until mid September (maybe I didn't get what I paid for?). Did 0 pruning and 0 training. They actually just looked really cool in my garden. Dried for 10 day, that's when the stems would snap. Dry weight a little over 6oz between 2 plants. 3rd plant (the south 1) I have an extra 2 weeks and is drying now. Shitty buds but might make for good butter. So 3 plants total. All grew differently. I had given 1 start to my dad and his grew as big as a Christmas tree. Learned alot, upgraded my 2x2 tent for an indoor grow now. Cheers

You can do that with photos, unless only one grow space, which I didn't see specified.

My favorite thing about autos is the steady light schedule. In my experience they're just as good as photos.
I like autos because I just harvested 3 plants. I have one in 3rd week of flower. One seedling and as soon as my new beans get here 3 more seedlings. All in the same tent.
I run auto's with lights static and always on starting a new plant every 3 to 4 weeks, gives me fresh bud all the time.
very convenient to be able to work on your room and not worry about light leaks. growing on a budget, it's nice to be able to start seeds a couple weeks apart, growing in a 4x4 with two lights...
Gen Z trigger vibes 😂 love it bro!
😂😎😂
I love growing Autos so far , its simple once You have your mixture of medium and nutrients down then 3 weeks later top dress and 3 weeks after that top dress again , so baasicly your just watering the plant ...I've topped some plants and some not ...doing some training as we speak on a topped plant ....Seeds and genetics also play a role...ILGM is my go too for seeds ...
These zkziddles auto where in 6 weeks veg. Wow today these girls are huge 3x3 in first week of flower. Thank you for your huge help with my humidity. You said if I wet the walls of the tent my humidity goes up. Easy and simple. I went from 30 ish to 55% when my lights turn on in the morning. Along with the ventilation fans. The tent is 99% in two weeks these zkz about doubled in size. Thank you for all your help.
Thank you on showing us on your aspirin spray!! It got rid of my white bugs!!! And there exploding!!! Good!!! Thanks
I started growing autos becuz they finish faster and since I grow them in hydro, the yields are better than in soil, I also found that most autos I grow in hydro take about 15 days later to start flowering depending on the reservoir size. Also less chance of hermie from light leaks, I haven’t had problems with that since growing autos
Good vid. I'm 1st timing. 2 autos. Same strain. 2 totally diff growing speeds. Learning process tho. Fun.
I am getting into Autos now, so that I can more consistently have flower and multiple strains. The time saved on Autos, give me an additional run annually.
I grow autos in Texas, come April/May the humidity gets up in the 80+%, I can get 3 to 4 auto runs before bud rot sets in on my fems. I do get 1 fem run in during Nov, Dec, Jan.
Thanks, Im starting my first grow, get most of my tips from your channel,
I like Autos because they are discreet when growing outdoors, and take up less of your space when growing indoors. Basically just an extra house plant.
I'm trying autos for the first time. 1 Gorilla Cookie and 1 Amnesia Zkittlez. I have 2 purple alien photos heading to the end of veg. I've veged her for about 6 weeks and she's a bushy monster. She fills up almost half a 2x4 SF2000 kit. Only my 2nd grow with cannabis, I'm still learning everyday.
Excellent! Only have room for autos . Keeps it fresh with different strains .
💙💙✔✔🔥
It all comes down to how you grow your autoflower, and the quality of your seeds. You have to get your plant strong right from the gate. I live in the NE and grow inside..summer sucks. I usually pull 4oz or more dry, and it is fantastic smoke! I dont have to worry about light cycle and it finishes faster. I grow in coco 4 gallon pots, do a little LST and let her go. :-)
Same here, I live in the north east and it’s either autos or nothing.
I live in New England, Connecticut to be exact n we've got pretty much every seasons weather packed into each day! This is my first ever autoflower grow. I figured that cultivating auto's would be more ideal for a year round grow schedule to harvest a healthy amount every 30 days. I've got 4 strains going in a 10×10 grow tent as well as running a few jack herer autos and glue Gelato autos outside in 5 gallon fabric pots.so far the jack herer autos are all growing nicely!!! I'm using a 70/30 mix of coco coir(fox farms bush doctor coco loko)and perlite along with all of advanced nutrients coco line(sensi grow coco A&B, sensi bloom coco A&B, big bud coco) and the other recommended nutes from advanced nutrients as well. Simply for the ph perfect technology which makes the ph levels pretty much perfect each time. Any advice would be welcomed
What if you're limited on space? Say your grow tent is only an 2x2x48 what size pot would you go to then? I really appreciate all the information you put out there thank you 😊
3 gallon fabric pots I’d say
I'm new to auto's, I'm on my first run and really noticed the lack of bugs compared to past photo runs. And by lack of I mean I have had zero bug issues. I even made the mistake of running a 24 hour on light cycle. Everything I have been reading says it is deadly to run a 24 hour cycle but my plants are very happy with it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I just chopped this green crack strain down tonight. It is 9 weeks and 3 days old. I think it's a giant. Also my very first auto!
Agreed! Putting autos in a 7 ensures you'll have enough nutes for big roots and big fruits right on buddy have a good one🤝
Absolutely.
When do u put them in 7. Do u transfer or start with 7?
another good reason for autos is getting a perpetual yield in a single, small-ish tent. i've grown one, waited 3-4 weeks, planted another, rinse repeat. it can get a bit out of hand though since you never know for sure, especially with a new strain, how big they're going to get, and i've been surprised by one or more at the same time getting as tall as i am and trying to take up the whole space. i've had a HELLA overgrown tent before... but it worked itself out :) or i've run an auto just to fill space in my veg tent while my clones got bigger - in fact i'm doing that right now
Autos in 3 gallon fabric bags, tried five but they didnt fill it out anymore in the root base. But with the three gallon fabric bags with coco and advanced nutrients, I've been getting six ounce dry yields all summer consistently.
started my autos out in the open and it was very dry and way too cool. my tent was full and only in 12/12. well it ended up flowering at 3 weels. my yield is gonna be bad but i'm doing a 4 plant auto flower run with amnesia haze next.
Waking and baking! Great info as always dude! This run I'm leaving my veg and bloom lights both on full time from seed to see what happens.
What do you run for lights? A fixture with veg bloom switches or you have dedicated lights for each phase?
How did the grow turn out with full spectrum and uv on entire grow?!
Good, solid advice for auto growing. Let me add... Be careful with your lights! auto's cannot tolerate high PAR in veg or early flower in my experience.
Thanks for the content. Especially the watering part. That's my main worry when i get everything started in a few weeks.
Try misting the plants in between watering as it is hard to over mist.
Should I keep all my fertilizers separate in their own gallons when feeding or should I keep all my nutrients together in one gallon?
They sure are a strange looking plant fun to grow they are amazing love em.
Yeah I know that every time I said something about auto flowers, I was just giving some crazy response that it doesn't get you high; but I have just bought some "BEANS" from crop kings and I decided to plant some outside ( know you mostly do indoor) but I have never grown them in or outdoor. Anything tips on the way you personally would setup...bedside the bigger the pot size the better ? Thanks for any help and being a real an positive person!
It’s all about having the right conditions man. Keep the temperatures in the 70s and keep the humidity between 45% and 55% during the vegetative stage. Make sure you have airflow. Keep the light distance where it’s supposed to be. And pay attention to what you’re giving your plants. I mean that’s in a nutshell what I would do. Heck that is what I’m doing.
Have you tried auto flowers outdoors?
I live in Southern California so outdoor grow is what I've been doing for 12 years and last year 2023 I had a really bad die off at week 6 and 7 of the flowering stage (Photo period) and had to harvest early due to them just dying off and wanted to at least save the ones that had the issue. I grow in a hoop-house so bugs aren't really an issue but something was attacking them but for the life of me I never found the issue. Had a couple growing buddies come by and look to see if they could find something and couldn't. The roots were fine, nice a bright, no necrosis at the main stem, and no aphids, spider mites, and grow only organically. So since this had happen and my harvest was only about two pounds and I use most of it for RSO, Balms, and edibles I needed to replace some of what was lost through growing auto flowers. I've never grown auto's before and decided to give it a try. Well they started flowering at only 6 to 8 inches and have no Idea why. Lights on for 18 hours a day, didn't over water or under water, use the same nutrients I use on my photo period girls and they look healthy but very small with respect to flowering. Not sure if this is supposed to do this but not sure if I'm even going to get an ounce from two of them. Anyway are there any other tricks you can add for outdoor growing autos?
I live NORTHERN b.c.Canada autos outside in our 20hr days are awsome.
Winter photos inside or auto breeding in our long winters
Trying autoflower for first time to have a shorter season. Outdoor grows of photos in the soil in a humid environment like Arkansas can produce up to 3 pounds per plant.
Thanks for invaluable info and keeping it real .iff its not broken then don't try and fix it
I live in a cold climate. Autos fit into my small grow tent. I might not be Pablo Escobar, but it works for me. Thanks for the heads up.
I run a 2x4x5h tent autos is the way to go as its only 5' tall. Me and the Mrs never run out of weed. Three at a time in dirt very easy
Hey there I found this to be very helpful can I possibly share this info with a cool Hippie friend dude, I ended up letting wild stuff go In th3 garden was going to start late and notice wild stuff growing, it all turned into autos I'm not upset, this information actually helped alot. It only grew in veg for maybe 50 60 days I'd say more like 40 or 45 days, now it's up to my shoulder unmessed with growing wild and I've been doing kinda what you described I usually had photos in a garden facing the sun on the south side of a slope in my yard it just a small plot I'm 6 years ago a box size like 12 feet x 4 maybe dug last spring was last time it was tilled a good four feet but now I'm starting to notice in ontario auto's might be a good thing to start studying more. Our climate is whacky peace it gets pretty darn hot too imhave mine near a shed so you get just enough shade to notmgetnthem burning in the afternoon. Cheers
Genetics is number 1 to grow awesome plants ✌️
Right tool for the right job.
I'm lucky and grow outdoors year round, in a hydroponics system. But I love the versatility and ease of perennials and would use on an indoor grow.
Hi everyone i have my own and its doing great :) thanks 4 the information bro
im on my first grow and so far ive ran into so many problems but i've come back from all of them.. from Pm to mites to root rot lol but im learning as she grows and its been an adventure. just received my a few auto seeds too. i have a buddy helping me as much as he can he has a dope grow and been doing it for years but i have also found your videos to be very helpful so thank you for these vids bro
This was extremely helpful thank you so much.
I think i might hold some kind of record. I did a grow of some plants and two of them must have been auto's they finished in like three months at about three inch's tall and two buds.
Wow, that’s definitely genetics right there. I’ve had something like this happen over the summer in 2017 I think when I was growing outside and it was really sure, and it was just one big bud.
Everyone has an opinion, thanks for your input Boss.
Absolutely.
Just a thought but don’t microbes just go dormant when lacking water. And once they get that drink they come back to life? Or am I just bro sciencing this in my head?
I live in South Texas. Photoperiods will veg for 6 months. Flower time is 2 months.
Autoflower is a quicker turn around for me
Rock on… Enjoyed this video :-)
I enjoy auto flowers why? For some reason I cannot explain I just really like the small plants and the smells are sometimes not as strong as Photos, which is easier to get away with growing in an apartment that you’re not supposed to lol lol lol
and finishing time definitely different on the genetics the candy Kush compared to the critical purple the candy Kush auto way shorter plant 1 foot tall giant massive buds… it put out exactly 5 massive colas,She was growing in Coco loco Pete Maas little extra perlite and bottled nutrients… finished in exactly 3 months from seed… A little less than what they said she would finish at… but she was outside… I finished her off in my grow box… when we had a tornado come through I had to bring the little plant to my apartment throw her in my newly purchased grow box…
because the greenhouse that was in my mom and dad‘s backyard is no longer usable I’m surprised my three auto flowers I had left were not damaged…
because that building was destroyed… anyway the candy Kush her smell was what I call Pepperish, very earthy, and extremely sweet smelling she wasn’t a very heavy smelling auto flower until you broke up the buds…
and she had such a beautiful like candy smell and taste I have more seeds definitely going to run them again this year…
The critical purple, started her off November last year, and she’s still growing and packing on but wait, her smell for me at first started smelling like diesel and axle grease, now she has even a heavier stink, smell of horse shit, and earth, when you pinch a nice size buds she has a real nice heavy earth tone and a fruit undertone… I have to constantly spray every morning because it smells like a horse took a big shit in my living room… lol lol
Day and night she is packing on weight…
I noticed with her I watered one time through veg, she didn’t need it she didn’t ask for it especially when I used my dipstick…
the pot was heavy, when she swapped over started throwing flowers…
I am now watering and feeding every four days or so after third day definitely checking with the dipstick… she is growing in the same mixture of Coco loco bushmaster Pete Maas little extra perlite and A few different changes to my recipe extreme gardening mycorrhiza and down to earth products I got is in the critical purples growing media…The media is in a plastic growing container specially made for trees, it is exactly 4 1/2 gallons…
She exploded when that mycorrhiza grabbed a hold…And with the down to Earth dry organic amendments I got I’m using no bottled nutrients… Only organic tea I make with the product…
finishing time I have no idea? she still rocking and rolling… She definitely went past her seed to harvest time that’s for sure…
I sent you photographs in discord after figuring it out lol
I don’t know if you seen them or not but she’s a damn good looking plant I was told… and my friends, cannot believe I am growing a beautiful plant being completely 100% blind… even people at the dispensary that I am friends with, I showed them photographs of her and a few of them, are jealous because they do not have the green thumb… lolAnyway sorry for rambling on so long have a great day Mr. and Mrs. 420 Sceen happy growing peace from your friend in Oklahoma blind gardener Raymond…
Good quick summary of auto tips!
I buggered up with 70 % RH during veg lucky I fixed it before the switch . It's the reason I switched to photo,s . There less forgiving . I'm a bit like you in the veg . I water when I see them drooping over lol. Oh there dry . They do love a dry spell it gets the roots searching for water 🖖
Damn right man, that’s what I say as well
Dude love your vids I've learned a ton of info from u . U need to do a video on cleaning u bowls n bongs n why it's so hard to clean them thanks again ,
About the overwatering! Does that apply to coco? I like to let my plants dry out before watering. Everyone keeps saying letting the get to fry “kill the microbes”. What’s your opinion on coco watering?
The sun syncing is a huge tip. I noticed my autos later in the year were smaller bc the suns direction changed and was blocked by the fence. Keep the videos coming!
My first outdoor try in New England was an Afahgan Cow I got 20 lbs wet dried to 4.8 lb. Never did that good again with one plant.
Do you think a mix of promix hp and sheep manure mixture be good for autoflowers or no ?
Im gonna be trying to grow them outdoors this year in 5 or 10 gallon buckets
The white widow is awesome three once plants it was surprisingly les than I thought dried light and airy.
I agree, autos are just as good as photos. Faster too.
Yes, marginally.
@@420scene in my experience autos take 8-12 weeks to harvest from seed. Photos take 8-12 weeks in flower before harvest. You also need the 21 days seedling and then another 4 weeks veg, so for me autos are faster. Saying that I've never had a auto reach over 1m tall. All usually stop at around 2feet.
My first grow, I was very aware of the weight loss. It still hurt, like a kick in the nads. Can I grow autos in just happy frog, or do i need to mix in perlite and coco?
Following since before i even really germinated a seed
Now i got 2 autos looking straight hope to keep em healthy
Can u transplant 2 week old seedlings into a new mix in a 5 gal pot
I only got maybe a 2 gallon
3 gallon is okay if your using hydroton and dripper method but i guess this channel is all about organics...fabric pots are good too for air pruning the roots/prevent root circling. OG kush autoflower (whitelabel) grows 80cm-180cm and has extended flower of 60-70 days, recommend it but you need a 220cm high tent or train the main cola later on.
Agreed on the potency part I grew autos in Cali that were so much more gassy than the clinic weed 💯
Another reason to grow autos is when you live in a place with very hot climate. Where I live, temp in summers gets to 115 F. Only have 3 months when temps are between 60f and 80f which are oct to dec.
First plants I ever grew I collected about 1.5P wet weight - thought I had mastered growing my first run. Give it a 10 days of drying and ended up with 11 oz so literally lost over 50% of my entire weight 😂
Good info bro , yeah im seeing so many growers, growing way too many plants and here im only growing 4 plants and dialing em all in .
I like autos because they keep me on my toes 🤙
Autos are good if you only have room for 1 tent. You can keep a constant supply running
I am Northeast and I run autos as well as photos. The autos come in while the weather is optimal. The photos come in when it is the worst time for bud rot. I like the autos because it allows me to sample strains before committing to a whole summer for something i may not like. .I can do a run of 20 different strains in 3 months and not take up a ton of space doing it. Can't do that with photos.
If I like something, it gets added to my photo list for the next season.
Thanks for info im gona give them a try
Got a 3 gallon pot and my autos are 4ft high with low strees training too buds size of a fist no nutes added.
Have you tried AirPots? I have had great results with them using a timed watering system(they dry out very quickly)
No I haven’t, I don’t like the fact that they dry really quickly. But absolutely with the great results. Aeration is always a good thing.
@@420scene like your content and a HUGE shout out for your tea recipe 🤘 hope i got it right😂🤣😂 had to convert everything to 50 gallons of water 🤞
I grow autos simply because the neighborhood I live in is not the greatest and my plants would surely get stolen out of my yard. Inside is safer for me and my babies. I’m very limited on space as well. They work perfectly for my situation. Thank you for all your videos! I’m hooked! 🧡
Can you grow photos inside??
@@zellousmclean7160 Yes if you have the room.
Great tips for max buddage!
I've actually never grew autos yet. I'm on my 3rd week of a photo and I thought I'd give autos a shot. Grabbed some sour d and some peach cresendo auto
For me here in the West, it's photos for spring and summer, and autos for fall and winter.
Do the colors of the stems matter? cause as the plant grows stems change color. what does that indicate. i know sometimes leaves that might change color indicate it might be absoring nutrients and you would cut them to get a more potient plant. but what about the stems ?
I grew regular photo Big bud strain that grew 10 feet tall outdoors. So how big does the auto version of Big bud get? My indoor tent can't handle plants over 4 feet.
I knew it would lose it so I didn't bother weighing it until after it was dry. I was very happy with the results of my first grow 5 plants averaged about 4oz a plant.
So about a pound dry weight for 4 autos? That’s really good
U full of shit ain't no autos producing qps indoor
my dude long time dont talk to you, lost this account.
just come here to say u right, like always, keep rocking my bro
( i love autos btw )
It’s all good man, yeah I love autos as well. Thank you for stopping by. 😎
If your growing outside there's a chance you might have a streetlight or motion detector light or even a neighbors garage light or porch light that might interfere with a photoperiod plants night darkness requirements during flower. Autos aren't affected by these light interruptions.
A buddy of mine has a street light about a block and a half away and it didn't cause him any issues with his photos.
Maybe he got lucky
I would like to do that blue cheese grow you did where do I get the seeds I just want to keep it simple ocean Forest 50% and 50% Happy Frog like you said and some Blackstrap
I use 5g pots for auto's, works great pulled 6oz from 2 cheese plants
I got 2 northern lights in 5gallon pots hope to pull of something close to that, 1 is 70cm tall the other around 55
Alright boys, finished my 1st grow. Long comment disclaimer. Maybe this adds to the convo.
Got auto seeds from a seed bank in long island. Literally picked a strain because it was named after my wife's favorite movie (5th element). Started the seeds in a seed tray with tomatos and peppers. 3 weeks in, learn this was a mistake. Peppers and tomatoes can not handle that much light. The weed took off, had to transplant everything into 4" nursery pots. These plants were going in my yard but we had a real cold spring here in NYC so they spent about 6 weeks in the tent with the rest of my plants. Mid May I got em outside into 5 gal fabric pot. They took off, but so did a bunch of trees near me. By July these plants were 5' tall and getting about 5 hours of direct sunlight a day. (And none in bad weather). If the sun goes east to west, I had these plants north and south. The north plant blocked the south plant. The south plant stretched to over 6' and had almost no bottom foliage. The 3rd plant that was off on its own maybe got a little more light. None were ready to harvest until mid September (maybe I didn't get what I paid for?). Did 0 pruning and 0 training. They actually just looked really cool in my garden. Dried for 10 day, that's when the stems would snap. Dry weight a little over 6oz between 2 plants. 3rd plant (the south 1) I have an extra 2 weeks and is drying now. Shitty buds but might make for good butter. So 3 plants total. All grew differently.
I had given 1 start to my dad and his grew as big as a Christmas tree. Learned alot, upgraded my 2x2 tent for an indoor grow now. Cheers
Need a light regamend first time indoors before going outside
Question; when do you add nutes and the strength of the nutes to your autoflower seedlings?
just what i needed to hear...right on time again,you must have esp!
