    Auto-Flowering heathens, educate me please.

    Matt, thanks for the great info. When I bring my 6 gal. pots in at night, I supplement the plants with 600W LED lighting for a 2' X 2' area to give them about 18 hours of total light from the sun and the LED's. Since my garage gets hot (85 deg. with 80% RH), I run a gentle fan on them. I'd like...

    Fast Buds GSC

    Grazzmon, I really don't know my ass from second base but I had a similar issue when planting seeds in soil using solo cups. The stems looped around beyond comprehension. Using the same planting methods as tomatoes, I pulled the little seedlings out of the Solo cups and replanted the buggers in...

    I have a lot to learn. I do worry about doing stupid things that will destroy my crop but experience and research is everything.

    No but it sounds delicious. BTW, when you say "cancel" out the main cola, do you mean top it/cut it or bend it out of the way? I assume that you cut it.

    Matt....understood. I see many variables involved, which makes growing both fun and complicated.

    Holy Crap! These are my twin Northern Lights Auto girls in 3 gal pots. You did very well with those colas. I've been getting conflicting info with regard to GSC Auto. Sellers have been saying that GSC Auto must be kept at 80 degrees max with no more than 50% humidity

    I use Better Homes and Gardens Organic Potting Mix along with vermiculite, perlite, composted cow manure, and humus. I mix it in a wheel barrow and adjust the ph to around 6.6, then I let it sit in my collection area for one year to get it ready for the new season

    Thanks for the reply sir. I grow in 6 gallon pots outdoors. I made the classic mistake of trying to manage 8 plants. When the threat of heavy rain came, I had to move the pots into the garage. At night, I'd have to move them from outdoors because of deer and law enforcement. A fan was used for...

    Auto-Flowering heathens, educate me please.

    Sarge, I'm strictly an outdoor grower in pots (airy organic soil). Do you have suggestions for autoflower strains that can survive temps in the high 80's with rain and humidity levels at 87%? I already did Northern Lights Auto but was thinking Gelato, Pineapple, or Amnesia Haze Auto. I don't...

    Auto-Flowering heathens, educate me please.

    It took me 77 days, seed germination to harvest with Northern Lights Auto outdoors in pots, when the seed provider said it would only take 8 or 9 weeks. I had to deal with high heat and humidity (90's with 87% RH), so I'm sure the plants were "slow growing" based on that. I tend to think that...

    Buddy, have you tried growing GSC outdoors? I can't grow indoors. Wife won't allow it. Outdoors, I'm dealing with summer temps in the high 80's/low 90's with humidity in the 80%+ range. I had a pretty good harvest growing Northern Lights Auto but now I want to try something else that can take...

    Ready to harvest soon?

    Doug, I gave them 2 weeks more time and invested in a USB microscope. The harvest, drying, and curing went great. The bud quality was pretty good despite running into high outdoor heat and humidity with rain this summer. Though the buds were sticky, I believe they could have been better in the...

    Ready to harvest soon?

    Here is a pic from a plant that is planted directly in soil outdoors. The buds are extremely sticky with 60% pistils curling in, however, it is the trichomes that I'm concentrating on due to the fact that this plant is an autoflower. It is about 10 weeks old since germination. What are your...

    Ready to harvest soon?

    Doug, here is a pic from further back. I'm a "first timer" who has done research online from multiple sources but I lack experience. I'm mostly growing outdoors in pots for stealth reasons, using the sun for most of the light source. I'm going light with the nutrients (General Hydroponics...

    Ready to harvest soon?

    The unusually cold weather made it difficult to get the seedlings going in my outdoor shed. I used a 600w "equivalent" Maxissun LED light for a 2.5' X 2.5' area inside white painted masonite walls. Once the weather got warmer, the majority of light provided was outdoor sunlight, supplemented by...

    Ready to harvest soon?

    I germinated my Northern Lights Auto seeds successfully on April 7th and now I have passed the 9th week. I do not have a microscope to check the trichomes but they look possibly milky white from a smartphone photo when you zoom in on it. Am I far from harvest? The pistils are still mostly white...
