WTF do you mean "No hard feelings though, more people need to grow and share their techniques. Blaze It."

You are a fool and I do not suffer fools. Hard Feelings to pea brain idiots like yourself.

Now you just joined the shit slinger group. If you read my post without being so eager to post your pictures you would have seen that first
1) The image I posted was of the lowest branch and I made that clear in the post.
2) If you look real close, and know your flowerr, you will see that I cut this one off probably around the 3rd week flower so it was far from ready.
3) If you were not too busy staring at your buds in the mirror and wanting to show the world pictures, you would have avoided looking stupid becouse that image in that post clearly states, this shitty bud far exceeded his so called mature buds, and that any expereinced grower would have mimages of mature buds in their rerpertoire to blow his mind. We have have archives of such images after 25+ years of growing.

My point here is that your images mean shit because they are here out of context. So Pea Brain, you just bragged about slinging shit at me with your bare hands, Fool!

Is this thread still about why noobs grow autos? I'm brand new to growing and was hoping some of you more experienced guys could help. I started growing an auto purple from SeedSupreme, under a 300W VIPARSPECTRA led, with just some fans and a quality garden soil. I use a 24 hour light schedule, where I use LED for 20 hours and a 125W CFL for 4 hours to give the LED some rest. I don't have a lot of space (my wife lets me use a closet in 1 of our guest rooms), and just care about getting decent bud for personal, and having fun.
Are autos that bad? Why are they that bad? Will autos still have ~15% THC? Will my LED be good enough to grow it?

Thanks in advance for any help!
Dude, do your thing. People on here are negative about anything new or that they do not understand or they are against anything that "Bro said was right". Also, people hate to admit they have been preaching the wrong thing and will backup their lies or fallacies with the skin of their teeth.

That said, do nothing fancy with your autos, just go along, plant and feed every other day, and switch nutrients during flower. Have a pesticide or pest fighting plan and treat them weekly or according to pesticide directions. That is it. Do not fuss with these clowns, they will fill your head with Bro Science. Auto are just fine.

Keep in mind, Yeld is directly proportional to plant size (Plant size is a limiting factor to yield). This means that no matter what you feed them autos, beacuse they have the "pygmy gene", they will never be big and therefore will never yield as much as a comparable strain counterpart due to size. If you can lift the "size limiting factor, wich you cannot with autos, then you should lift the root zone and cannopy or biomass factor by busihing it out with topping, and growing in hydro to increase root zone size and high quality bnutrients. (But if this is your first grow, only feed according to my first advice.

Auto are excellent starter plants for Newbs because
1) They grow fast (Newbies are impatient)
2) Because Newbs are impatient, fast growing plants allow them to see the life cycle of the cannabis plant in a short period of time. Otherwise, it is hard to keep up with your plants changes for longer grow periods. Knowing the plant is crucial to your success and Autos really allow you to experiment with much less of time and money due to short cycles.
3) Autos are perfect for Hydro, wich is perfect for Newbies (Some folks on here would not agree) But Hydro is less tediou to maintain (Pic a system that you understand) To the contrary, lots goes wrong in soil or moss because soil is part of the life cycle of many if not all cannabis pests. So removing soil solves a plethora of problems. Ebb n Flow is really really easy, and because you are in hydro, you lifted the limiting factor of nutrients, and by doing so, you can use less quality light or lower power lights because easy access to nutrients, and a 2-3 fold root zone size in hydro makes up for less light.

Buy an electric PH meter that type that dips into pools and keep and eye on the PH. I have a hydro setup and rather circulate the water because I find it churns it, and keeps the water temp low.

More than often, if you do the exact opposite to what fools say on here, you will succeed in growing good bud especially when it comes to limiting factors and Training. For example, instead of fastening the branches down to expose more bud sites, be evil and tie the branches up so they look like a witches broom.and keep them like that 2 weeks before you put them in flwer and I kid you not, you will have a better yield than doing just the opposit.

Knock yourself out with Autos, they are awesome! Fools on here suffer with them because of too much bro science and instead of blaming their stupidity, they blame the plant. They apply Dogmatic shit they heard from Bro and get all kinds of nasty results. Keep in simple, and treat it like you would any other inbred being, (al hybrids are inbred) Keep an eye on the flower, document weekly and always look to the previous week's or day's notes before moving forward. Never rush to fight pests you cannot see, especially if you have been treating them weekly. Soil creatures can afftect PH with their dead corpses and shit, so beware of soil of anykind. Soil buffers better in nature and not so well in pots for obvious reasons.

Start Hydro as a Newbie and then you will not have to worry about all the soil troubles and you will be on the lane that most growers turn to anyways.

PS. Coco Choir is soiless and if you are doing coco coir in pots, you are doing hand watered hydro and therefore use hydro nutrients and flush pots regularly as left over water could fuck up your ph in many ways

i feel like in all that big long post about soiless coco and flushing there is a poop joke lying somewhere round in them words

6 gallon pot... miracle grow potting mix, some bloom nutes, g8 led 240 watt light, 20 on 4 off. start to finish 79 days. i had some other type of soil that i bought similar to fox farm but it ended up having those gnat things that eat your roots. so i ran to a local ace hardware store and got some cheap soil. and it worked great. I also fimmed after 4th node or whatever you call it. maybe one day i'll be a pro but for now my amateurism with autos is enough for me. would help if it wasn't so taboo in my location

I get mixed reactions when I say I'm using unknown genetics. And my dog is an idiot. He knows he shouldn't eat fuckin everything in sight. But, still does. I came home one day. And he'd eaten 3 tomato plants. All the fekkin chives. Dug up a good third of the spuds. And killed the big ass sunflower I'd bought my mum.
Nothing wrong with growing bag seeds. I've got ordered known genetics and still pop bag seed. Mainly Mexican brick seed. I love those fruity long flowering sativas.

That looks like it could've went another 30 days. Using pots that big usually extends the grow time out closer to 100 days.

Nice plant but probably would've doubled bud size.
I doubt it. its my second run under same settings. Maybe a little more but all the trichs were mature. Last time i ran one 91 days... didn't grow any after about 75 or produce anymore... it was also in my closet crowding another plant. For my next one i'm getting a 4x4 tent... i'm gonna run a couple of autos (blue mazar and a 60 day lemon) and sprout some photos when those are getting close to harvest.

there is another motive on the chop too. i'm planning on tasting it on special date in the future that has meaning to me... i'd like the cure to be done on my special day.

Ok then. Not many 60-80 day autos out there except the dwarf varieties.

It had no fade and at its size and pot size would be 100 days. Breeder times are hardly ever right with auto flowers because the tap root is the flowering mechanism. The bigger the pot the longer the veg time on an auto. Run veg nutes all the way through.

These are just general rules for autos. There are exceptions to that rule. When I first saw that plant it had that spear head sativa look. Possible sativa dominant auto but its hard to believe one that big in that size pot is done that quick.

A few big producers around the 80 day mark.

I haven't tried bomb autos yet but I have grown a few different photos from them and was impressed.
I've grown thc bomb on my first grow and it started put slow but exploded in growth the last two weeks. I grow autos and photos and if you are a coinsurer of herb it shouldn't matter as long as you grow with knowledge and skills. Thc bomb!!!, I'm coming back around for you again. Flavor and high is on point.

If I don't fly imma die anyway

My favorite weed is old school heart pounding, tracer causing sativas. The kind you smoke and the next day your jaws are sore from smiling.

Some of the sativa autos come close.

The Heisenberg auto I cut the buds at different stages. All cloudy with still a little clear had me pacing the house and cleaning.

Blue dream auto, white widow auto, cbd sugar gom auto chemdog auto, and grizzly purple auto are next to germinated. Love autos and photo.
