Autos in hydro system?

I was leaning towards the auto ultra lemon haze and world of seeds auto afghan kush ryder heard some good shit about these strains. im looking for quantity over quality tho so if anyone knows of a high yielding auto let me know asap

i did autos in DWC. no problem at all. it's actually very popular in the UK now.

just don't forget they have a different feeding regime then fotoperiods. you start bloom nutes much after they have shown sex, towareds the end of their streach.


you can have alook at the resolts of some autos in those links:

this guy pulled over 160g per plant in about 70 days.

K.I.T., I tried to post this yesterday, but the forum was having issues and my post wouldn't take:

I just harvested an Auto growing DWC and would have gotten better results were I not sharing the same closet with some photo period plants that had the lights at 12/12.

Whoever told you that you cannot do autos in hydro is full of shit. My La Musa auto was pretty successful. I can't help you with high yielding strains, but I would check out Delicious seeds both La Diva and La Musa. Under the right conditions, people in the Auto forum are frequently posting 2 zips as the Yield per plant.

Honestly, I would worry about getting the set-up and conditions right before worrying about yield. Start with an auto, if you insist on going that route, that thrives in most conditions and is easy to grow and then go from there.

My La Diva from serious seeds is doing well. And also my Blue Mammoth from Barney's farm.

do you keep your ppm in check? thats about the only thing i dont keep track off i just feed them at low strengths to start and adjust from there

Yes, I keep track of my PPM and adjust as necessary. It's the only way I've been able to tell whether the plant was feeding on the nutes or just drinking the water.

and if its just drinking water what do you do?

If the first grow wasn't successful i would do a round of soil. ( i started with hydro first, loved it, now i do both) Soil is very forgiving to new growers. If you are going to be going hydro then you must pick up a ph and ppm meter. Hydro just doesn't work without ( only person i have seen do this is a drain to waste system, and his nutes with tap water buffered to a perfect 5.5 ph.)

PH and ppm together tell you what the plant is doing.
After you start a fresh rez. wait a day, then test it again. If ph is rising and ppm is falling that means the plants are drinking more nutes than water and its ok to up the nute dose next time, whereas if the ph falls and ppm rises its drinking more water than nutes and would like a less concentrated batch.
hope it helps.
