    24hrs to 18/6 will that trigger flowering

    True autos switch themselves regardless of light schedule. If not sure, switch to 12/12, it'll definitely flower.

    First Run! Looking for opinions

    Patience. Treat'em right and they'll be some fat little girls. Some of us older growers let a bud or plant ripen more than usual for that 'different' effect. Personally I keep a jar of bud that's for wake up, one for daytime functioning and one jar to knock my old ass out.

    Let's see your auto grows!

    Gotta pull up a chair for this one. What a challenge for a first time auto grow. BTW...I transplant every plant, auto and photo with never an issue. Perhaps quote those who do grow instead of those who can't.

    Beginer Problem

    BB All Mix is a bit hot for autos and overwatering triggers too much nute release...BB light mix has been my chosen medium for years for autos. Start everything in solo cups and let'em rip...light mix drains well but overwatering is still easy...ya gotta give'm time.....ya gotta learn the...

    Let's see your auto grows!

    I don't post pics but in the 15 years I've grown autos (and photos),there's been a few that stood out in quality bud. Rocbud and Mephisto have been my best for a while so they get most grow slots...but a fond mention is Ethos and Tastbudz .....but there's a bunch more top shelf strains from...

    Why do people use Autoflowers after their 1st grow?

    I grow'm cause I like'm. After 15+ years growing autos perpetually, I still like'm. They don't give a shit if they get 18, 24 or 12...they still do their appointed task.

    What is best method of growing first time Autos?

    I grow all my autos in soil less mediums like happy frog or bio bizz light mix and feed them nothing for 2-3 weeks, then lightly feed. They'll let you know if you know how to read your plants. Personally I start feeding at 3 weeks conservatively with Bio Bizz grow, bloom, calmg and off they go...

    Mephisto double grape, sour stomper and rocbuds raspberry punch

    Patience seems to be an asset when looking for/waiting on a rocbud drop but it is well worth it. Glad I hit most of his drops last year so I do have lots of his gear , autos and photos. Smokin' some razzberry punch and blueberry faygo atm............

    Mephisto Maniac

    Over the past couple of years I've grown several mephisto strains and always get more comments concerning potency when double grape was in the rotation of my overage disposal. Sweet and Sour was also a notch up....

    Has anyone worked with any of these auto strains? If not what do you recommend

    Ethos, Rocbud, Mephisto take up most grow slots but recently finished a " Tastebudz Vanilla Frosting" that was great for taste especially. Anxiously awaiting Rocbudinc new drop. His shit is trusted fire.

    Light cycle

    I can only answer comparisons from those who smoke my weed. In 15 yrs, I've not had one person remark that any bud has been any different than any other.

    Light cycle

    Autos can handle any light cycle you chose....allowing you to fit to YOUR life schedule. Most seem to run 20/4 or 18/6. Being retired and all that other shit that comes with age, I personally choose to run 12/12 which lets me run photos alongside for shits and grins and for comparisons...

    Watering, eh…kindly asking for some advice.

    A Moisture meter would simplify things.

    Plant Flowering at 2 weeks.

    For accurate auto information, without the sneers and excuses, go to an auto forum thats FOR autos. I've grown autos over 15 years....alongside photos...a well grown auto is as potent as a well grown photo. Any other opinions are from poor growers.

    Good few questions on autos....

    Having grown autos perpetually 15 yrs, I can give input on some questions. Autos do well but it seems to be up to the grower...there's the primary variable. Finish times are usually a bit + to advertised...check grow diaries for avgs. Hermies are rare and usually from stress. I top everything to...

    Mephisto Maniac

    At one time I used coffee containers and every other small container to grow in as I grow most in 2-3 ltr pots.... The only thing I ever felt would shorten or quicken an auto was a reduced light schedule. I often find some strains finish faster than others but no info on which may or may...

    Transplantimg Autos!

    Since I transplant every plant, auto and photo, and put all in 12/12 at 3 weeks, I guess I can't compare but never noted any change as long as the transplant was done 'properly' but we all know every stage can be a total F-U...... Best thing for flowering is patience.............often.
