Hello everyone,
I am a medical MJ patient up here in Maine. I usually grow from seed or clone. I for some odd reason chose to go this route for my next round of medicine. Never tried autos before in my life. I got Heavyweight fast and vast and they are going to be in 5 gallon smart pots and I am running G/O for nutes. I will be using a 400 watt hps on a 20/4 light cycle. I would really like peoples opinions on how I should tackle this grow. Like I said they are a total new thing for me. Thank you in advance!!

Welcome to the AFN family MaInEgReEn :Sharing One:

Well..auto`s like photo`s are also grown from seeds tho^^ lol but clones are not much likely as the autos cant live on forever i bet you will be happy with how the autos work out for you ..both in growth and meds

what strains are you going with bud? you should get up a journal so we can follow with you..that way you can get help if needed much easier :tiphat: let us know if you need any assistance gettiing around:Sharing One:

I am just running 5 Heavyweight Fast and Vast. I will get a journal as soon as the seeds get here. I am going to need some advice on a feed schedule for sure. I herd they do not like a lot of nutes. Autos are not around much where I am at. I am hoping this strain will be potent. I have herd good and bad about autos. But, I figure its just like most anything in this life. Gotta give it a shot to know for certain. I am really hoping to pull a few zips per plant but I dont know if that is feasible or not.

Welcome, Maine! :tiphat:
I think you'll be happy with autos, they've come a long way thanks to top-notch breeders and growers."wg's Cool"
Also, some very sound advice from rebelroy about starting a grow journal.
Check out the new growers forum https://www.autoflower.org/f44/
A grow journal is more than just a place to show off your gals, it's a great place to get ideas and ask questions about all the cool stuff.... lights, soil, nutes, you name it!
We've all been there, Friend, about to take the "auto plunge", and yep, a good grow starts way before the first seed gets cracked.
Enjoy!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. As soon as I start my grow it will be on here for you guys to help me with. Also, how strong is autoflower weed. I have herd it isnt as potent as sativa or indica. I will give anything a shot once so what the hell. Lets get the grow on!!!
