Tips: AUTOFLOWER & THAT BIG YIELD

First off wanna say big ups to 70sdiver guys a stud. I learned alot from him.

I grew 3 Afghan Kush Ryder and yielded just under 6oz - 400 watt hps hung vertically.


Tip 1 : 5+gl pots. (smart pots if u can) DO NOT TRANSPLANT YOUR AUTOS

Tip 2: 24 Hour Lighting

Tip 3: LST - u can super crop. but i prefer to use some sort of line and tie down your branches to puff them out to recieve as much light to each branch.

Tip 4: Coco soil - cant say enough. the stuffs amazing

Tip:5: bare bulb hung vertically. some people are against it. cant argue with my results. (where protective eye gear near your light, tough on the eyes)

Tip 6: bubble your water with an air stone for at least 25 hours before watering. the roots love that extra co2 ( buy a 67 liter plastic storage bin to store your water - wal mart for like 6$

Tip 7: distill ur water for at least 3 days before watering. again in a plastic storage bin.

I had a rough start to my autos. ph levels were no good for about 3 weeks. my ph pen was a cheapy. bought a good one 3 weeks in dramatic turn around. i transplanted an auto. was in shock for 10 days. still yielded 34g off it. harvested my autos at 74 days bc of my rough start.



Plant 1 - transplanted (dont not do that).. plant stayed small in stature but still yeiled thick bubs curing me 34g dried

Plant 2 - no supercropping or lsting. barely touched it, trimmed a view fann leaves that were dying near the bottom. yielded 52gs dried

Plant 3 - suppercropped 1 branch and lstd the rest. plant grew very tall branches were very long. almost 3' in hight. it was a beast for an autoflower. 64gs yielded off it of great smoke def liked the taste the best off this plant. full flavour.

CHEERS

If I may. The 20/4 and 24 light debates is what it is. I myself believe plants need to respire (exhale, if U will). A bit of a correction on the aeration of the water...the plant (foliage) needs Co2...the ROOTS need Oxygen. At least to the best of my knowledge.
