Alright gentleman. So I am going big. I have a 5 x 10 x 7 grow tent and am going bigger then ever. Started 12 seeds 2 nights ago and planted them in Solo Cups. Well guess what. 12 Sprouts are shoing and looking healthy already. I have read quite a bit about different autoflowering strains. I ordered 12 G-O-M Critical Mass which they say can produce up to 90-100 grma s per plant in 10 weeks. This theory will be tested. Here goes on which 12 seeds I started. I got some freebies.

9 G-O-M Critical Mass Feminized seeds
1 Kannabia Mataro Blue Feminized
1 Kannabia La Blanca Feminized
1 Shot Stuff Himalaya Blue Diesel Feminized

All 12 have already sprouted so should be fun.

12 Automatic plants that all should take right around 10 weeks.

I grew Red dwarf, and Double Diesel (auto's) even growing organic I pulled in 2-3oz per plant . That was under a 600hps. Those auto's are getting potent as ever.

Wow. Even more excited now. Explain your process from start to finish a little more. What nutes, did you crop, are you using a MH and HPS and are you using co2?

I grew in FFOF from seed. I used t-5s through veg (20/4) and Organic Nutes (humbolts naturals) I fed heavy and often. When they begin to flower I put them under a 600HPS at 12-15" from top. The last week I raised the lights 18" above and waited for the calyx's to completely swell, which they did. Here is a picture of them under the 600. I kept them in the veg tent (20/4).

I use organic nutes. How often for feeding nutes is to often and likely to burn the hell out of them. If they say 6 tsp per gallon bloom and 4 tsp per gallong veg and I am feeding them 3x a week is that to often. What I have been doing but I have seen nute burn. From your expierience is that likely to hurt yield if they get burned? Or does it still help yield because they are getting more food?

I would feed normally like I would a regular plant (organics) and I fed every watering except say the 3-4th time I would just add molasses no nutes. Being organic it's a lot easier to waste nutrients than it is to burn leafs. I feed on the heavy side and I feed when the pots get light or top leafs slightly droop.

I think yield suffers mainly when a plant is not mature and goes 12/12 and also when a plant is harvested before the calyx's swell. Nute burn will slow a plant down but can recover quickly.

Thanks for the tip. I have been feeding every feeding. Last round I gave them over 2 months to grow prior to switching to 12/12 so they were pretty mature but you seem to end up with a bit more per plant than me to I was asking. What about topping or anything. Are you doing any low stress training besides the feedings? I use organic nutes as well.

I wait until (from seed) they get 6 nodes high then I take off the very bottom stems (weak) and then I top it so there is 4 stems, once they grow out and even up I fim all 4 tops, then after 2 weeks I fim all of them. Then I may fin or top to keep a even canopy. Last thing is waiting for her to mature.
If from clone I even her out with fiming and topping and make sure I have plenty of tops before going 12/12.

I grow under a t-5 and I keep the light 12" above. That allows the leafs to come out faster and when you fim the recovery is fast. When you put your lights too low, you slow down the plant, too high and she stretches.
When I flower I have a 4 plant per 600hps max.

Being organic you know the buds are more potent and tastie.

Excellent info GG. Thanks and that should help. I cant do that with the autos but next grow of regular seeds like my Super Lemon Haze or OG Kush #18 I will be applying this technique. Those are my next two on the agenda for sure. I am thinking possibly those and Rocklock. I have over 20 options so time will tell.
