Autoflower Thread & Resource Guide

[Gilfman]

like i said the potent ones.. the one that isnt a straight ruder which is the autoflowering species of cannabis

 

[badwolf1]

it looks to me like you will end up with some of those mini-plants like outdoor was saying.


what nutes are in that compost? Was it possibly too hot for them as seedlings?

It's John Innes No1. I'm pretty sure the issue was humidity. When I took steps to increase it the plants suddenly started growing and have been growing steadily ever since.

 

[skinnbonez37]

its just nearing the end of it life span, this is normal

I'm thinking I still have about another 20-30 days left on it though before I can chop it.

I just took a small leaf off of my main cola to get a good look at it under my microscope and it looks like a lot of my trich's are cloudy (90%) right now with maybe 5% being amber and another 5% clear.

So I shouldn't have much to worry about then?

Cannabis Ruderalis is "autoflower", but the ones we are talking about are Cannabis Ruderalis/Indica or C Ruderalis/Sativa HYBRIDS. Wild Ruderalis are very inpotent. Ruderal means wild, or escaped BTW. But yeah, thats why Im wondering if theyll grow better in cold.

 

[Gilfman]

better in cold prob not.. but less effected by the colder it gets most likely .. rain forest > tundra for example

Put in my first seed order, went with speedy, got lowlife's auto AK47. Hope to make some seeds, and hoping the seeds I make will work out!

hey bro, i just finished up some lowlife ak's. They were awesome. Did a few lowlife white russians & the ak's outperformed all the white russians by far. With benefit of hindsight, woulda prob. done ALL ak's.

And I had an accidental pollination situation (wasn't too bad, still yieded some nice nodgers), but yeah, took to 70 days & the beans were nice & mature. Passed 'em along to a bro that'll be doin em OD, and they sprouted & are lookin good already. Just chopped bout 2 weeks ago, and the beans were ready to rock & sprouted a few days back.

So you should be pleased. Some got up over 3' tall. (that was hydro, in a little 4" square pot). Especially if u are actually tryin to get beans!

Hey guys I just had a quick question about my White Dwarf. In the last 2 weeks or so I have been slowly losing my fan leaves from the bottom up. They start to turn yellow and die. I am currently on day 42 and well into flowering so is this normal? I just tested my water Ph and it was a 7.0 . I give feedings of Fox Farm Big Bloom and some Molasses with every feeding. starting around week 3.

I will include pics of the plant that will hopefully give you a better idea of maybe what's wrong with my baby. I know the pics arent the best but please bear with me.

it wants more cal/mag and Phosphorus... try lowering your PH.. 7.0 is to high. bring it down to 5.5/5.8..that will help..its just in full flower mode..

Do the autos mind "light leaks"? My backyard is small and I think the light from my houses windows turning on and off, and the street light out front causes normal plants to not bloom.

Hay all i have just planted my easy ryder fem auto my 1st grow what light cycle do they need any info +rep

Thanks all

 

[nimbin1]

hi gym, i have heard that the all time best cycle with any auto is 20/4 although i think that 18/6 would also be fine. a mate of mine grows em outdoors and they only get 13 hours each day and they are like rocks.hope this helps

 

[gym]

very much so thanks have some rep i think im gonna go with 18/6 just coz i dont want the lights on at night from 12 at night to 6 in the morining will be the off time i think

Hey Gym ..I just finished a EasyRyder I went with 18/6 for about the first 20 days to a month and then switched to 20/4. for the rest I think the 20/4 did help more just as I seen alot more grow than the 18/6..but mine also grew pretty good up till flower and then she blasted off from there..Check my album i have a couple pics in there of it. hope this helps.

So can anybody say if theyll hermie or anything if the night cycle gets disturbed? Like photo cannabis does?

 

[150wHPS]

I'm no expert, but I think they can hermi. I'm pretty sure they can handle light interruption as well though. I'm pretty sure it's things like stress/Ph that cause autos to go hermi

 

[cutman]

hell i run mine on 24/7. i just put 3 more in to germ... white russian from lowrider, any one grow that before.

 

[150wHPS]

I haven't tried it yet... That's cool you can run24/7 I have seen some peoples plants having trouble going into flowering from that.

 

[Outdoorindica]

A plant needs a night period, they will grow at night sometimes more than they did during the day. You say no way? Ha, then you have never grown outdoors. I have seen an inch+ over night when in preflower. Regular plants though. So anyway, I think that might be some peoples issues with transplant stress as well, they are not giving it a long enough night period. I transplanted mine, they were a bit saggy that day, I gave then an extra couple of hours of darkness that night, and they were perked up and ready to go the next morning. No stress for a couple days, just a bit saggy for the rest of the day after transplant. Their growth has been fantastic since I transplanted them so Im pretty sure I didnt slow them down any. They need that night period, it is very important. The soil I transplanted into was wet with compost tea, so I think that helped as well. 4-5 days until my next update on my grow in the outdoor section. Check it out, the link is in my signature. I try to update with pics once a week, and from time to time with random shit.

yeah man. just finished ak's & white russians from lowlife.

the ak's yielded way more, but the wr's look to danker all the way around.

It's actually the stuff i asked ya bout a week or 2 back bout the funk missin.

THeir comin around for sure, gettin better by the day. Been 2 weeks in jars now. Hopin another 2 weeks & they will be nice & stanky.

And it is def. the best of what I've sampled so far. A lot more trichs & that nice nuke green compared to the reg. ak's

 

[cutman]

i tell ya what just as soon as i finnish up these atuos im growing. ill do the nexts on either 20\4 or 18/6 and will see. never "You say no way? Ha, then you have never grown outdoors " yes i have. not say its better or not. when i started this auto grow i just turned it on and never turned it off. lol. got stoned and for got. but ill do it on next grow. and really havent had any problem yet, with any autos iv grow. so far knock on wood right.
