First Time AF (need help)

Hi everyone, im thinking about starting AF
i got couple of dutch passion and kannabia af seeds...[FONT=arial, sans-serif][/FONT]
i wanted to ask what would be better, starting indoors or outdoors, i have sun from 8 am to 7 pm (very hot in mid hours)
if i would start indoors what light would i need and when to water etc, what soil recommended ?

thanks for any info!!

Autoflower sucks but is good if you don't want to worry about light cycles or having really potent buds and are just looking for a little head smoke with minimal effort. If you start indoors you can control the environment better. When the germinate and during the first 2 weeks of their lives they're very vulnerable to disease and drought. Your best bet is to grow them under fluorescent lights until they are about a foot tall then move them outdoors where they will be able to adapt to the environment much easier.

what the guy said about the growing part is right

i am seeing much better lower leave retainment outside then i do with inside

when u start your plant topping is a good idea worked out well for me (it does knock the plant back 10days to 14 days in the cycle so u top once and did not her sister the sister will be done before the topped)

cfl's would work for a indoor start
high drainage soil indoors more dense for outdoors

indoors add atleast 25% perlite to your soil
outdoors use some good potting mix with about a party cup size area of potting mix with some extra perlite where youre going to plant your seed
water lightly i use a spray bottle until there about a week old then just water a few cups until its larger and has established roots

and autoflowers dont suck IMO if you dont have the need of a "super high grade" that is really just a stupid name on stuff that could of been just a mexican bag seed grown under the right conditions
ive grown many 2 hitter auto's im 6'3" 190 LBS
one of my buddies is about the same height but weighs about 260 lbs says its a two hitter
you can only get so high
most people that talk down about auto's
have very little experience with them

YAWNN....Grown autos before...they look good, smell good, get you high, but like you said, 2 hitters from auto flower . Why do something you know isn't the best? Unless you just want some head smoke and have a little fun growing with not much work.

yawwn indeed
so whats the next step after you get a tolerance to the "best " smoke
some auto's are fire smoke not all of them i agree but there not all junk ive had people take 2 hits off my bong of some amnesia auto from dinafem and have to call into work a few hours later
not everyones the same and for alot of people not trying to pay the mark up's of high grade prices that you still have to take 2 hits off of
then there is a great advantage for the simple fact of fast turn over and very little space and a actual perpetual grow in just 1 box
im not disagreeing with you but i dont totally agree with the auto's suck comment just from my experience
i do have a photo period going purple haze #1 and im sure it will get me baked
but have grown only auto's for a few years now and for the most part potency has almost doubled with last years strains
and also have seen alot of barneys autos for example actually become more stable
shoreline is pretty popular around here and in between grows i often buy a half or so
but IMO any weed is good if its what you have

Yea i agree the comment that autoflowers suck was a bit extreme. They just aren't as good as some of the photoperiod plants i've ever grown or smoked.

Smoke more

to date the best out is og night train running little over 25% thc

biodiesel mass has been confirmed at 17% thc ..............the only different is the photos have had more gentic crossing to make them stronger given this they will always be stronger ..............but Autos are not your grandma's sunday smoke with tea anymore they are getting close to the top nugs in the cups ......i beleve a auto took 3rd place over all this year give me while i find the info again


here u go 2 winners

# 1 all i want to say is this isnt a argument about autoflowers and photo periods this is a conversation of how to get the most out of an autoflower strain which is why it is posted in autoflowers. not a debate section but an information section.

everyone has a different feeling and thought it's called opinions and there like assholes everyone has them and as always they smell like shit.. so advice is for the ones who use it bullshit is for the ones who just spread it.. so take what you want from either of the comments.. A FRIEND WITH WEED IS A FRIEND INDEED. auto's photo's who give a fuck. just puff down and give sensible advice or just shut up and read.. as far as i am concerned any weed that gets you high is good weed. yes taste and smell are factors but when you have no weed the what's the best to smoke............ that's right any of them.. all weed can be grown to produce great looking ,tasting and smelling weed the fact is that it will only as good as the breed so if you grow a bag seed of some shitty mexican dirt weed and get a female then the female will be as shitty as the rest of it but just better looking
