Autoflower Thread & Resource Guide

[TreesOfLife]

I'll post better pics later. There are 5 auto aks regular(5 out of 5 started from 10 pack were all female was gonna do a seed run), and one freebie fem auto roadrunner(Bottom Right one). In total they are at about 3 weeks give or take a few days, light schedule is 20/4 (400W Ceramic Metal Hallide). I have only fed them twice so far. The back 3 out lining the pic are all at the same stage. The other 2 and RR were started at the same time. They took like a week or so extra to drop their shells with some help and rebounded nicely. The others poking in the pic are TGA strains Chernobyl, and 3D.

WOW plus rep for u my man. what did u do, soil or hydro and what kinda lights did you use. im doin fox farm ocean forest soil and using a 400 watt hps. going to be upgrading to a 600 watt soon though.

hello mate all i used was cheap soil from garden center and perlite watered every day with ionic grow bloom and boost iv got a 600w hps in a grow tent with 3fans and a exstractor fan thats it there easy to grow but where 3 of mine are 3foot tall there takin longer than there mena the last 3 are on day 87 and still need anuva week or so bro

whats the benifits of using root riot vs. just sticking pre-germinated seeds into soil???? This root riot looks useful and i deff wanna try it if it can benifit me somehow

 

[greenearth5]

I have 6 seedlings that sprouted out of my foxfarm oceanic forest! im a new soil grower and im likeing it so far... I have a 400MH Cool Tube with a fan cooling it off... the lights about 3-5in away from the top of the seedlings... is this too much light.... and can it harm my plants.. some people says it does and others say its just fine

The overall yield was 304g from the 2 Auto AK's & 1 x lowryder2, that was including stems though. I don't personally have scales so not sure of individual weight. But a great result anyway.

yeah, thats a ton of weight. was that wet or dry weight? +rep to u, i looked over your whole grow journal and im probably going to get 15 feminized ak47 and 10 regular an have a sea of green thing goin and use the biggest girl to majke seeds from

My seeds / clones just seem really happy with root riot. It contains the right stuff for root growth and doesn't dry out quickly. It was recommended to me on another forum and I've just stuck with them after a few fuck ups with rockwool, I'll never go back.

That was dry weight! I was amazed at the results. Got a white widow clone on the go at the moment, will start a new journal once she's rooted and gone back to veg mode, if she makes it!

Before you even finish reading this post, go move your light up!! About 10-12 inches from the seedlings. Even with cool tubes I have seen people fry their seedlings at anything under 8" from the plants. I think its more the light penetration than the heat. I always keep my 150w 10" from my seedlings till they have 2 true sets of leaves, then I get them as close as possible.

okay... its 7 inches above the seedling... ive seen people grow with cooltubes and they get the light 1 in away from the tops of there plants (they were bigger more mature plants) ... i didnt stop to think that it might hurt the seedlings.. but ill keep it above until they mature some more

 

[greenearth5]

for this current soil grow I simply germinated my seeds in a paper towel and stuck them straight into some foxfarm oceanic forest soil... are you hydro or soil.. if you are soil then why do you use the root riot? If you are hydro then i completely understand and ignore the last question ... ive done a few hydro grows before this soil.. this soil is my first soil grow

lookin good man.. what type of soil, nutes, and lights did you use? i just started 6 lowriders in some foxfarm soil and under a 400MH ... got foxfarm nutes too

Whats your yield while its wet?

Greetings, i've been through most of this auto-flower thread, and y'all got me very interested, so how is the buzz ? Can you compare to regular strains, like is the buzz stronger than say some of the kushes ? Am i right in assuming that a careful newbie can grow autos ?

sweet man... i got the exact same setup as you for this grow... fox farm oceanic forest, grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, 400MH but will switch the bulb to HPS later.... did you get that off of one lowryder plant? If so im hoping all 6 my lowriders get that yield apeice

yea its off one plant its diesel ryder though i think they yeild a lil less than ak-47 autoflower and the low ryder 2 but you can pull a oz off one of these pretty easy mine didnt get that big cuz i used nutes late and stuff like that but had i done it right im sure it would pull a whole oz

 

[greenearth5]

My bush got 3 ft tall and 3 ft wide... NO JOKE.. i remember you coming to my DWC LOWRYDER thread and seeing it... but i choped early cause it got so monsterous and only got 15 gm dry.. such a shitty yield for that much time and labor.. thats why im usin soil this time.. so i can almost guarantee it doesnt get his big again
