do not fim or top, plants have virtually no veg time so this would hurt yields, not sure on lst but i know just about everyone does nothing with autos just lets em do their thing but id like to hear others opinions on LST and autos anyone?

Ok it is good to know it is not just me. I had her under a 250 and she was getting lighter colored but once i kicked in the 400 she was yellow real fast. I read that they will take in lots of nutes and to not be scared to feed em.
That was my take on it for sure, next grow im going to use veg nutes from a week old. I think im going to use veg nutes for a week after flowering starts too, and the bloom nutes every other watering, then switch to just bloom nutes. I think its fine to not use veg nutes for some of the smaller strains, but the ak's, in my opinion, when grown under hid lights from an early age use nutes really quickly.

Hi peeps...

Iv been playing with an idear for a while and can not come up with any way why it wouldnt work and would result in a constant supply probley more than i could smoke to me self anyway...

it involes 10 auto flowers in a 10 pot wilma system...
iv chosen short stuffs mi5 ( basically ak-47 ) as its a high yealder and seems to be a good all rounder...

The way i see it is if i germinate 1 seed every week by the time the 70 days is up for the first one ll have another one ready to go in and one only a week away from finishing agen...

10 plants at 1 week apart stages...

the mi5 if grown well will produse 2 ounces per plant ( 2 ounces a week ) every week if all go's well with each plant !!!

sounds like a good deal to me...

iv read thro this but if anything dont make sence let me no lol...

The first feeding I gave was a light veg feeding and then started my flower feeding. I am in a coco/ffof/perlite mix so I had to feed her early. This girl eats so much compared to passed plants I have grown. If I fed other plants what she is taking in they would have burned up for sure.

Some more good, useful info there. Im definitely going to give veg nutes next time, and also try higher doses of bloom nutes once flowering starts. Im even gonna leave one plant growing the same as I did this time, just to see if it experiences the same issues with early yellowing. Have to admit that I assumed it was ph issues on my current grow and missed the opportunity to give them the nutes they were clearly asking for. :peace:

Guys, I used liquid Karma and mild veg nutes at about 500ppm the first week of my Auto's seedling life. I then used veg nutes for about 2 1/2 weeks before switching to bloom nutes. I averaged 2oz per Ak47 Auto under a 1k watt in hydro. Trust me, Autos need veg nutes if you want the largest auto plant and yields

completely agree with that advice, and will be following it for my next grow.

I went into the room where I grow my girls (NL Autos) in the closet and room was starting to stink up bad. I am about 40 days from seed so I still have a good while to go so I decided to make the move from under the T5s to an outside grow about a half mile into the woods from my house. Just keeping my fingers crossed now nobodys stumbles upon them and they can hold up in the heat and humidity here. Just about 90 today and supposed to be above 80 the rest of the week.

Since I knew it was much warmer outside than they would have liked I gave them a light watering today even though I just watered yesterday. If someone were to stumble on them and call the fuzz you think they would be able to pull prints off the pots I have them in?? If so I will need to make another trip to wipe the pots down.

My single NL Auto is doing fine in this 90+ heat. I water it every other day. Nutes every other watering.

hey everyone! just thought i'd stop by and show you what i've got going on.

this is my second time growing autos and both times have been outdoors. right now i have 1 auto Jock Horror growing in Canna Coco coir and im feeding with the Canna coco nutrient line up. its in a 2 gallon pot and its about a month and a half old. i had a Nitrogen deficiency which set me back about three weeks but its fully recoverd now and starting to flower(female).

i got it from attitude as a freebie along with an auto bubblelicious and and auto northern lights. i havent started those two yet.

take a look!

:peace:&:leaf:

Sweeeeeeeet. I was hoping to order some more Autos maybe get them in the ground before season is gone.
hey gd ? for u- your growing Nirvana N.Ls IIRC, are you running them on 12/12? I read a page or 2 back that you dont think that these are true autos and im beginning to think the same and am wondering if I should flip um to 12/12??? Theyre about day 45 from sprout and just starting to pre-flower. whatcha think bro?
