Autoflower Thread & Resource Guide

[kushykushkushy]

hey green i was thinking that too. i dont know how to clone tho, im reading and learnin tho. im goin wit a 20/4 cycle so i could jus throw those in with the autos an let them grow up. after the autos were done id 12/12 the freebies. so thats a good idea green! with the rapid rooter do i germ my seeds first or can i just place them in and water from there?

 

[kushykushkushy]

im really eager to see wut does better as a medium as well. thats why i got 2 bags of ffof instead of all mix from biobizz(6 bags of all mix). all my nutes are biobizz. sorry if i asked u guys b4 but has anybody ever tried biobiz fish mix? they say that if u heavily dilute it, u can also use as a foiler spray on the leaves. and does spraying seltzer water on ur leaves feed it co2?

i havent heard anything about freezing beans... just keep them in a cool, humidity free, dark place

see with my dieselryders i have attempted germinating 2 with putting them in a damp paper towel and in a baggy on top of my digital cable box to keep it warm... i've heard so many methods idk what to do. so far with the autoflowers no success but i've germd 9 reg seeds the same way no problem.

keeping it on my digital cable box makes it very humid in the baggy though.

I can germ seeds perfect now. Here is what I do. First I pre soak them for 24 hours in ro water until the taproot pops out. Then I personally prefer rapid rooters but I think plain dirt might work. I take the the rapid rooter and place this is a 16 ounce container of lightwarrior or peat. I wet all this and using tweezers I place them in taproot first. I then place some bark or perlite or loos peat and cover the whole lightly. I then take clear plastic cups and cover the 16 ounce cup or container. This keeps the humidity up. In a few days the seeds have sprouted. I help them a little ans sometimes have to peel the shell off gently. All always goes well as long as I presoak first.

tea! thanks. i was on the phone wit "the guy" at my local hydro shop and he explained it to me jus as u did. he said rapid rooter are the shit for starting healthy seedlings. im going with 3 gallon grow bags so im going to do everything as u did but im going to be transplanting the rooters right into their new 3 gallon homes with the clear cups. did u have lights on them when u put them in the plugs?

 

[kushykushkushy]

also, do u guys think 1000 watts in a 2 bedroom apt is too much light to run. i am growin out of my spot an my ladies spot with two 600 hondos, was wonderin by next grow i can throw like 250 to 400 watts of hps more in each tent? wut do u guys think. only cuz i want to do sog kush autos and as well as grow some reg strains so 100 watts shud be good? jus dont know if power will b affected drastically if i unplug everythin else except fridge?

i would start flower nutes as soon as you see pistils

NO DUDE... YOUR ON THE RIGHT TRACK .. the closer the "nodes" are the bigger the bud will be because the buds will grow together into one giant bud


mine look jus like urs only mines not flowering yet...

Can and should an auto-flowering plant be topped or just left to grow naturally? Would the topping stress it horribly?

Never top an AF strain. Since they have no veg cycle, it will greatly diminish your yield. I have had a couple top themselves and they stay VERY short with no real top bud, and weigh at least 25-30% less than the others. LST is ok if done early, but topping should never be done imo. All natural is best with AF strains.

hey kb what about super cropping? you think that will work with a auto?

 

[wheezgethigh]

so let me get this str8 u cannot clone af u just have to pollinate them in order to have extras, so i should orde a pack of females and a pack of males cuz i want females so i can smoke fast but i want to have extras so i wont have to keep buying seeds, so what way should i go buy females and males packs or jus buy some and hope for some gurls and pollinate them?

Correct, you can't clone an auto.
I've never seen male seed packs, don't even think it's possible!
Best bet is to buy a 10pack of mixed seeds. Grow a couple of fems for a quick yield, then do another grow purely for seed germination.
You should get a shit load of seeds off one seed run, keep you in supply for a LONG time.
