Autoflower Tutorials

Hi, i recently purchased a 2x4x5 vivosun tent, with two 300 watt led vivosun lights. I got fox farm nutes, and some botanicare cal mag. Plan on growing fast buds g14 and wos Afghan kush ryder. One each and After 30 days I plan to start 2 more seeds one of each. Ill be using smart pots first time and LEDs. Just wondering the feeding schedule or what youj would start off with. Any tips will help. Still a novice. Thanks and happy holidays

I'm looking at an Afloia mini dehumidifier(2200 cubic ft) $27.99 for 2x4x5 tent .My exhaust fan Is rated at 203cfm . I plan on having 2-3 plants in my setup .Is this over kill or a wise investment?

Looking at Afloia mini dehumidifier (2200 cubic ft $27.99)for my setup (2x4x5). I'm running a 203 cfm exhaust fan. I plan to run 2-3 plants per grow. My question is whether it is a necessity? Should I consider it a wise investment?

Hi folks Second grow first one lost to mold. This time going one in notill organic soil Carmelicious auto from MSNL using QB132 @ 120w and blurple 350w. Using 3g fabric pot with tower fan, clip on fan, 6" fan and carbon filter in 5x5 grow tent. I've been running 18/6 lighting and temps 24c and RH 40%. Started with 4th node top and left it at that with leaf tucking and minimal leaf removal. Problem is currently in week 10 I don't have any big nugs all I've got are penny size flowers! How do folks get those "bic lighter" size nugs?

High there everyone ? I'm not a new grower, but I can't say I'm real experienced either. I've done 3 grows over the past year but they were all photo period grows. I decided to try out some auto's for the 1st time so I could use some advice. I'll give you the run down of my set up. I'm just going to do 2 plants this time to get a grasp on things. I will use my 2' x 4' x 6' tent since it's only 2 plants & I already have photo period plants in my big tent. I was thinking of using my 2' (4 Bulb) & 2 - 2' (2-Bulb) T-5's for germination for the 1st week or two. Then switching the T-5's out to a 600 Watt Meizhi LED after germination. Should I do it this way or should I just start out with the LED's ? I'm growing in a 50% Bio Bizz...

Hello all this is my first time on afn have used grass city but was directed here. I'm currently growing 10 mephisto autos and am doing some experimenting on a few. I am considering topping one of my ghost toofs but have never attempted a top and was looking for anyone with experience or advice. Have had some say it's good and bad so just seeing what advice is out there! Thanks everyone

I'm growing my 1st Auto's in a soil mix under a 600 watt LED. 1 - White Widow & 1 - Wipeout Express. I planted the seeds directly in the soil mix (5-gal. bags) on 12-11. Not seeing anything as of yet so I'm wondering how long till I see them sprout ? I've always planted my photo period plants this way & had sprouts in about 5 days.

In a 4x4 tent. (4)5gal grow bags. 1. (2)400w or (1)600w. 2. Will using LED seedling stage then switching to hps/mh veg/flower impact yield/quality? 3.Good HID light company's. Mid-High range. 4.Good sites besides Amazon for equpimeht.

So, the room that contains my current tent is climate controlled and while we occasionally get some brief humidity, it’s generally 50-55% RH (occasionally dropping to 45%) in the space and temps are pretty consistently between 70°-78°F in the tents. Now I’m planning to add a second tent in order to have a veg tent and a flower tent. I’m trying to figure out if I should get one big humidifier and run it in the room that will contain both tents or should I get small, individual humidifiers for each tent? I HATE the idea of giving up tent real estate to a humidifier (or anything besides plants) but I will if I have to. I’m tentatively thinking about a large room humidifier in the outer room and set it to the highest safe humidity for...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for basic advice on starting my first grow. I’ll have a million questions for you all to enjoy, take the mick out of and hopefully answer but for now I’ll keep it simple. I’m going to be growing in soil under led’s, I’ve read somewhere that I don’t have to PH my water and that the soil will do it. Is that true ? Next question is, is there a natural/organic way of giving the plants nutrients rather than buying bottled. I’m growing for quality not quantity.

I am getting back to this technique with my current grow. I'll do it a few hours a day during lights on and for a few days. It has worked for me in the past in getting better side branch growth.

Hi, I have a photo period Blueberry at 7 weeks into flower. Looking at the pistols I think it has a few weeks left a lot of white hairs, but looking at the trichomes it looks like next week. I had a miserable time trying to get a good shot of the trichomes that I think effectively represent what I am seeing through my eye spy. But I did get one. Still a lot of white pistols on the buds so I am a bit confused. Thx guys .

Greetings all. I'm about to try auto flowering seeds for the first time. Am I able to germinate the seeds as normal (bean blankets) and start them straight in the 707 soil? Or is that soil too aggressive for autoflowering seeds?

I've seen a big discussion on 24/0 vs 20/0 but I have recently come across the concept of a 6 on 2 off cycle and I thought that could be interesting for auto flowers. Has anyone tried that on these boards?

Hey all, so I'm trying to get a new grow going in a new place (tropical). Everything with conventional temps/humidity is way against it but looking at vpd charts it's spot on. For example the high would be 31.5C @ %62.. This is the chart I've been on. I do have a laser thermometer for leaf temp. Thanks for your input!
