any auto flower will do u

if u are looking for the simplest grow
www.ideal420soil.com
order that soil ..........alls u do is water the plants

if u are city water u need to fill up the bath tub with hot water and walk away until it cools off after that u can jug it up (u need to use juice or water jugs MILK JUGS WILL NOT WORK THEY GROW THINGS IN WATER .....u can not clean them not even with bleach and boiling water )

the reason u do this with city water is they add chemicals to the water that is not good for plants ..........the hot water release the chemicals to the air when the water is cool it should have finished release all that stuff

after that alls u need to do is make sure the PH of the water is 6.5 ........and u are giving the plant enough light ..........it will do the rest

Just startin. Is autoflower good for me? I am not good with normal plants, so was thinkin autoflower.

Peace!
yeah dude autos are actually pretty fun to grow even for less experienced growers, less chance of intersex traits in my experience.
worst thatll happen is youll kill the plant and lose a few bucks on seeds :/
 
Two notes, though. First, be wary of the grow times; most seed growers report things like ready to harvest in 8 weeks. If you want good yields, it'll probably be closer to 10 weeks or so. Autos tend to start a little slow, then explode, then fatten up for the last month or so. Most experienced auto growers take 10-12 weeks on all but the fastest and heaviest strains.

Second, pay attention to the roots. Autos don't get as big because of the ruderalis genes in them, but their roots are meant to suck up nutrition from shallower soils (due to ruderalis living in areas with thin soils). Good, airy soils with perlite, aerated water, and air pots all help you get the most dank from your plant. To get fat, sticky buds from an auto you need healthy soil or a top-notch hydro setup.

remember This. cut a hole in the bottom of a party cup Burry it half way down in a 3 or 5 gal pot fill the 3 or 5 gallon pot with something like foxfarm happy frog ,then fill the party cup with something like light warrior Auto flowers don't like being transplanted At all and will slow growth and you don't want that,next don't give them Any flower nutrient until week 4 or 5, you will see it flower be fore then but hold off flower nutrient Will stop it from growing,, o and start off light with the nutrient If you burn it it will slow her down to, also keep it on 20 hr of light on 4 off and you good to go, don't do nothing to it but lst that's it

Awesome tips here! Thanx guys.
I got these (well, waitin for them to arrive):

So the yield will go up when I let them grow longer?
Can I grow too long?
No they will bud no matter what if you feed them just want to hold off in the flower nutrient Is all to keep them growing when you noticed their upward growth Stopping give them the flower nutrients'They usly stop growing I. 4 or 5 weeks
 
Don't know if you can grow TOO long, but with most autos longer than 12 weeks AFTER the seedling has broken through the soil (don't start counting from germ) is a waste unless you're trying to get more trichomes amber. They have a fairly set lifespan compared to photos, so best to harvest after the 11-12 week mark at the latest. Even if you're trying to get darker trichomes, you don't need much more than an extra week or two.

The yield will be better if you let them go longer (compared to the 8-9 weeks advertised by most breeders), but to get good yields you need to care for the plant itself. Firstly, avoid topping or FIMing autos; that's a VERY advanced technique to pull off on autos without killing them; they don't handle that stress as well as photos. Stick with LST techniques, like SCroG; they respond super well to that (seen guys pull a zip off a single plant in a stealth PC run using SCroG!). Also, buy a cheap aquarium pump and bubblestone. Pump air into the water you use to water them for 24 hours before watering. The extra air in the water will seriously boost yields and root health. It's a very simple, VERY effective technique.
