Hey Doob, tell me about this auto flower dwarf you mentioned earlier. Sounds interesting but I know nothing about it. Is it like it seems the name is suggesting, does the light change to 12/12 not stimulate these auto flowering plants to flower? Do they simply start flowering after a certain age? And if that is so do you ever have to change from 18/6 to 12/12? Help me learn something new today please ma'am. :bigjoint:

And how does cloning work with the auto flowering plants since the clones keep the mothers age?

Auto flowering plants are another category for cannabis, there's indica, sativa and ruderalis. They are exactly what the name says, automatic flowering. You leave them on a 24 on and 0 off schedule throughout it's whole life cycle, you just switch out the lighting from veg to bloom lighting. It will show sex around 3-4 weeks or so depending on strain. Also takes about 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest again depending on strain. Since they are auto flowering you cannot clone and have a mother plant.

They grow small and fast, anywhere from 2-3 ft. So they are optimal for small grows or stealth grows. They work really well with Aerogarden units as well.

Hope this helps clear some things up for you.

Howdy everyone. I'm new on the board here, and being a 250W grower, thought I would join the club.

I checked out several of the grow forums on the web, and this one seems like the friendliest environment.

I have two cabinets (one veg, one flower) in which I run a SCROG. Currently I have Kali MistXWhite Widdow in starting the second week of flowering. Just solved a water ph issue, so this grow is going much better than my last attempt.

I will put up some pics when I have the chance.

What would be the fastest from seed to harvest? I have g13 power skunk that were started with cfl's and they were started on the 15th so they are a little less than 2 weeks old. I want to get the fastest from seed to harvest plant so i can have harvests every couple of weeks, so i dont have to have a mother. Please help me out on what i could get. Thank you."

what exactly are you asking im really stoned and cant translate this well haha..:dunce::dunce::bigjoint:

take cuttings before you induce flowering if you always want some plants around.. vegg the clones and before you flower take cuttings off them again.. this is a cycle ive seen lots of people use.. but im not even sure on what your asking haha

At the moment I'm only using two 26 watt 2700°K CFL's on a Y splitter in a clamp reflector. I bent the reflector in half to maximize reflection
