i am set up with 9 X 8 ft room, 1000wtt lighting, I went in a few hours later (after trans platting) to see what was going on with the ladies and found that they were all flowering, holy shit I put up my 1000wtt light and set the timers. I am just a little tripped up because I have only ever grown regular plants. any suggestions, or anything anyone would like to say? please do. thanx

Where was the mix up? Where did you order from? The package will say autoflower..

Just keep lights on 18-24 hours. In ten weeks or so you will harvest.

DON"T FEED UNTIL YOU READ! Autos GENERALLY do not like nutes, especially at the rates you folks seem to like to pour on the fertilizers.Blame that in the ruderalis.

They look awesome. Off to a very strong start. They tend to take off in week 4 and grow through week 6 or so.. You can keep feeding veg or a little extra N through week six.

No way. The biggest problem with autos is not getting a good start. Yours are loving that light. You'll get 3 oz per plant I would guess.

I keep reading that no nutes is better for auto flower?
Naa. they need nutes. Maybe a little less than photos, but I take mine up to 800 ppm in soil. What's the worst that can happen.. a Little nute burn maybe..

Look at the bright side. You can harvest in ten weeks from sprout.

What are you talking about brother. If you go autos you should deffintely feed them as soon as possible (depending on the soil u use, if its very rich in nutes, start slow, 50% of doses recommended by the manufacturer).

Autos have a limited veg state that means you need to FORCE them to grow as fast as possible before going into the flowering stage (if you want a good yield that is), so give them nutes. I give my autoflower plants nutes from the seedling to the harvest.

When flowering stage begins, here you should be careful with nutes because you can easily burn them. I usually use nutes once every watering, depending on strain and needs, if you see any burn on the tips of the leaves go slow with nutes on flowering stage.

Your experiences are not generally reflected this way. Read all the pleas for help and look at the pictures. Breeders themselves caution on fertilizer use with autos. However, I said don't do it before reading. I never said to not feed.
