Help us get an Autoflower sub forum

Hey everyone

A while back I asked the moderators to consider an Autoflower sub forum to make things easier for us AF lovers to find. Unfortunately the thread did not get many hits and it was eventually closed after a mod suggested I start my own thread and see how high the demand is.

Well I did just that, and if you havent been there yet, feel free to check out our thread HERE

As for the demand, well the numbers alone show it is here at RIU. In just over a year the thread has generated 4,707 replies and 236,965 views and counting. Obviously the long thread has become a pain to search through or find anything in particular so I am here again, asking for the moderators to consider creating a new sub forum for us. Dont care where or how, but I really feel that it would benefit many people. As much as we love our thread, a sub forum would help separate grows, pictures and info in a much more organized way.

So lets hear from anyone for or opposed to the idea. Im open to all opinions on whether or not there should be a sub forum, but please keep your anti AF comments to yourself. If you dont like to grow AF, thats fine, just dont come in bashing it for the simple reason that you dont like it. That is not what this is about. I am simply trying to figure out if the majority of us want, or think there is a need for a sub forum.

Thanks

I wouldn't mind seeing an autoflower forum. Good idea. For better or worse, autoflowers are very popular these days and are a little different than growing regular plants. You're right, the thread is getting quite cumbersome.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to oppose it. If some of the more traditional growers don't want to use it, then they don't have to. Only thing I could think of is that from a programming standpoint, it might be a lot of work, but I'm almost certain it would get a lot of traffic.

Gets my vote for sure! And I can say unequivocally that there's no programming involved with adding an additional sub forum, it's a no brainer, the Op only has to have the desire to add one. It requires VERY little effort.

Def. agree with the OP. I plan to do a lot of auto flower next season due to our short outdoor season here in the upper Midwest.

I'd like to see an AF sub-forum.

I'm currently growing Auto Bubblelicous. (that didnt auto..LoL)
And I plan on growing autos for my next grow....in about 6 weeks.
We could start auto grow journals in there too.


Peace

Haha, thanks man!! The seeds are still around, I actually have Nine 2 week old DRs right now from that seed stock. Cant wait to see those DDRs!!!



Thanks for the comments guys! Hopefully more people will show interest this go 'round. I love the idea of more AF grow logs being started and I bet there would be more if we had an AF forum. I thought about asking for the AF thread to be stickied, but on top of feeling like it would be cocky, its really got too much stuffed in it these days. The first page should be very informative for anyone who really has no clue about AF strains in general.

Keep the posts coming guys, Im glad to see everyone is for it so far!!

I'm having to switch to dwarf automatics, or at least dwarfs, So I would frequent a subforum devoted to the subject. Thanks for trying to get it started.

Its funny because imo it shouldnt matter how many "hits" it gets as seen the thread KB started is what 500pgs? Its also funny because ive been seeing so many AF grows/questions in genral marijuana growing, in the cfl sub forum and in newbie central..............

lets not make this another thread like the other. i think the sub forums is a good idea for asking questions about dirt, feeding, light. You can scan through the forum and find bits of info but there is to many pages
