Autoflower Thread & Resource Guide

So I'm trying a little spontaneous experiment. Since I ended up having three plants growing, and I had this stuff on hand, I'm going to water one of them only with Willard's Water and the other two only with RO water. I know some people claim it has miraculous results in the human body so who knows what will happen :) Anyways - I was wondering if any of you FIM your auto's? I am at the end of week 1 + a day or two and they are looking pretty healthy! I think I'll just leave them alone, but was curious to know if anyone here has done it and thought it was a good idea, and if you do it, when do you do it?

It seems most people think its best to leave autos alone because they have such a short life that any time spent recovering suffers the yield much more than with non autos (whos flowering period is usually longer than an autos entire life)

what he said ^^ also stress can often result in hermies

the least intrusive method for increasing yield is LST

look here for a guide >> https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/299554-how-lst-low-stress-training.html

Yes I did read that guide but thought LST was too much for sure for the short lifespan. I'll just leave them alone. I won't need or frankly know what to do with too much yield anyways - LOL! Can't wait to get my smoke on. Been over 5 years, since I quit smokin butts. Knew I had to quit both in order to just quit the butts. But now with MS in my life I want my herbs back.

Pandora update day 34. This little bitch is a branchy stout beast, Internodes are stacked like a mofo.
Running Advanced Nutrients Sensi A/B Bloom, Duthmaster Zone, Calmag, Botanicare Silica Blast, AN Big Bud Powder.
about 650ppm at 5.5-6.0ph. Look at the size of the stock and number of branches she has. She has defined pistils all over and looks to
be entering early preflower. If she looks a little droppy, she isn't, I have been tucking all the big ass Indica fan leaves under. I am guessing
she will end up around 2 feet tall and be a damn good yielder... we shall see

Looks great so far. I think I have that same exact light. What is it 2' 4 bulb T5? Do always keep it horizontal like that or did you just move it for the picture?

I have two of the Sun Blaze 2' 4 light T5 in my mother/clone Growlab GL80 tent. I recently killed off my RP OG kush mothers to make room for some other photo strains that I have started in my GL145.
So I unscrewed 2 of the cable hanger on one of the lights to hang it vertical like that. I am rotating the two autos I have going with one 2' 4 light t5 above. 16k total lumens. I will switch it back to normal when the Pandora is done.

how would a few auto's do outdoor in a greenhouse? atm there is 12 hours of light and by the time they finish will be around 10.5. this is sunrise to sunset.

Do you have electricity run to the greenhouse? If so you can give a little light to supplement, to give a total of 18 hours light.

If not your auto's will most likely be very tiny.

finally I've done it! I flushed until water became clear, then one more flush with 1tbsp mollasses/l. from now on, only delicious mollasses every watering, since I'm planning to do it everytime I'll use only 1/2 tsp/l. 2 weeks to go!!

that syrup is lookin good homie... with your skunk, have you tried any defoliation? it wont help getting itout sooner, but it controls the shade from it a lil bit... im not suggesting toclip off the whole leaf, just cut off half the length of the fingers for each leaf... sorta like what is done to a clone... just a suggestion homie... if defoliation makes you nervous, read through he threadi my sig and you will see the drastic diffrence it makes... i would not go heavy defoliation, just defoliate where it is needed...

maybe if you kept them as small as possible ...
logic would say you would need another 250w hps for 6-8 plants
you'd probably have better luck with 2 x 125w cfl on either sides for side lights

any ideas guys? also i mean auto plants....
