The Art of The Auto

I knew when I saw your "question" that you were just waiting with a smarmy, smart ass, know it all reply. That's why I didn't bother acknowledging your passive aggressive irksome presence. But it seems some one else took your bait so let me enlighten you. Autos make it simple period. It eliminates the need for 2 and sometimes 3 different grow spaces I can keep seedlings next to sticky buds in the same space. Can you harvest 2-3 ounces every week or two in a 3'x4' space with photo period plants. And I am sure you can't understand how some one growing outdoors would want smaller more concealable plants. Why would they want to crop out 2-3 months early? Who doesn't want to be out in the woods around fall when the law is in the sky more? And finally why did they have to make it so simple to grow them in comparison. Its almost as if they want more people to do it because of the simplicity. Not everyone wants to be a full time grower. One day maybe the laws will change and I can grow that twelve foot beauty I've had my eye on but until then I will be happy with my shorties and telling you that the way you think is the only way is really just your way and maybe not the best at that.

never said I knew it all but if you think I do then go on believing that . I'm not here to argue, just to make the most weed out of my closet.

You can keep seedlings in 12/12 ( basically they act just like autos except they flower 2 weeks later). Perhaps you never heard of 12/12 from seed giving at least an ounce per plant. but... that would take about 12 weeks but it would save a bit on power and you could clone instead of using seeds so this is an option. My other option is using autos for the same thing ( which isn't a bad idea) but the idea of buying seeds or even making your own is more irritating to me than cloning.

I can't harvest 2-3 ounces every week... How do you do it? im working with a 2x7 closet with a single 1000w watt lamp. I mean, I could plant autos in there and just call it a day... hm... but then I would need to have seeds out out the ass to keep it going but... I guess I could flower a female or two and whenever I am running low, keep producing more seeds... but as to the setup within my closet.. How would you go about doing a grow room if you had 2x7 to work with? I am familiar with hydro.

again, this isn't me trying to argue. Just trying to get the most out of the space I got.

I see as i stepped away and we moved on to our own home the trolls have come out again.

Love it that they waited to see the majority of us gone before they said something.

Some trolls just never grow out of the titty on mouth syndrome. If you have an issue with autos, its simple just leave the thread.

That is all

If you aren't willing to help out another auto grower then cool but you don't have to be a dick and post this. Is that "all" you came to do? I would recommend going back to your "home" if you are acting like this...

I do not use hydro because I grow in my attic and I don't want to be hauling water up and waste down all the time. I have a friend that has just switched to autos after smoking a couple of mine. He has a hydro setup and is off to nice start with one in a DWC bucket and a multi plant tote with a sprayer system in it. As for the constant harvest I have room for ten to twelve plants in a space that is 3'x4'x3'tall. If I start a plant or two every week or two in 60-70 days I will start cutting a plant or two every week or two. replacing them as I go with new seedlings. I have been doing that since the beginning of October and smoking lovely since the end of November. I only buy mixed sex seeds once I buy genetics I shouldn't have to buy them again. Even the seeded buds are pretty potent. most of what I have done is on this site somewhere. My setup is cheap and effective. I will let the ladies have a moment now. There were a couple of others, maybe two that I can't find the pics for.

Not a bad holiday season at all

Let me also clarify that I do not get 2-3 oz every week. It is probably closer to every two weeks but it is still pretty fucking good. I have used my space for photo girls as well with results that are not even close to what I have seen since switching to autos. That being said I think I could do big things with your light and space.

omg dude thats sick!!! What strain would you recommend growing?

I started with a twenty seed mix from Shortstuff seeds. After trying that I decided to stick with the same breeder and grow some of his Blue Himalaya Diesel. I started six of those around the first and they are off to great start. Everything I have grown has shown sex around the third week some as fast as 15 days. I can recommend shortstuff because I have first hand experience. Got them from the attitude btw $50 for ten reg. or five fem.

forgot to mention that I also had one Dinafem Roadrunner it was a freebie and it was fantastic. Shot up like rocket and was great smoke. It was plant #8 in the pics. So the strain also gets two thumbs up.

My first post!! Ur right on the $$ starting this thread. Im a noob and if i listened to what most ppl said about AF's I wouldn't have my bubblelicious, afghan kush ryder, and my fast bud. Im about almost 4 weeks into my first grow and Im keeping a journal as I go but will not post it until I harvest. Im did all my research before I started and this thread helps much. All I can say is if you have never tried out an AF strain give it a go they are cool as shit Love watchin them grow!!
Now roll up !!!!

has anybody grown autos from big buddha? i am starting a 1st time grow with 5 fem automatics from Big Buddha any info on the amount of lights i should use? watts? cfl's or hps?

i promise you that i will help anyone that has questions about autos. You can ask most of the guys that are still alive in my thread.

just dont expect special treatment if you come in here questioning autos and there ability. You came off on the wrong foot and i wont have it in here.

I dont mean to come of as a dick at all. This was my first home to begin with. We just now have a place that is totally dedicated to nothing but autos.

So its not all i came to do in here i still check the thread as it is a monster and has a good bit of info i still need to transfer.

How about you read the fucking thread before asking baited questions. Then if you have questions and seem sincere about them, we'll be more than happy to answer them. We've all read the 452 pages of this thread, you should too. After all, you want to maximize your grow space right?

That's why we are all here hitman to maximize our space. I think we can show him better than we can tell him

pics are awsome teflon!
