Autos are not "for outdoors".
They can be grown outdoors just fine. They can be grown indoors too, I just don’t see a reason to grow them indoors they don’t grow faster than photo plants or bigger and are regularly less potent. I have grown them one here or there in a mother area since I had the space anyway. But they use more electricity by the time they are done growing than a photo plant does.

That was my point. You don't see the need to grow them indoors but others do. Maybe they have one grow space and want a more perpetual harvest. But saying stuff like they are for outdoors, or you shouldn't transplant them is just incorrect.

Personally, I've been growing them because I don't have time to care for my plants properly if they are on a 12/12 schedule. I also had a bunch from an order a while ago.

Sure man do you, grow your mids and be happy with it. They ideally shouldn’t be transplanted. Think differently if you want. They also shouldn’t be topped but you can if you want. They can’t be cloned either. Plants are easy to care for, too many new growers over care for their plants

Mids. Lmao. Can't be cloned. Wrong again. They can be cloned but there isn't much point as their flowering is hardwired into the genetics.

Hey all. First grow. And Iam guna do autoflowers in FFOF. I herd it’s hot. So I thinking top 40 % happy frog and bottom 60% FFOF. And Iam starting seed in jiffy pucks Then to final pots Does that sound ok so far.???? And should I buy those single domes to put over young plants at start to help or are they not needed ?? Just get a humidifier if needed ? Please help.
I use FFLightWarrior/perlite in top third and equal parts FFOF/FFHF/perlite in bottom two thirds of my five gallon pots. I amend my mix with a dry organic granular fertilizer and "transfer" my Jiffy's to this pre-moistened mix day after sprout. I top, lst or manifold my autos with impunity and have never stressed or stunted one yet. It's a plant for f*** sake, not an organ. This is what works for me. You do you. Good luck. Organic soil auto grower.

You have a nice set up grow better genetics lol got pics of your finished flower?
I have Bodhi Cosmic Serpent ready to run next.


There are pictures of almost everything I've grown in my journal. The link above are photos though.

Current run is only my second auto grow. Well second and third, I have two younger ones in my veg tent.

Last auto run I had to give the two plants away before harvest due to moving.

First auto grow on the last day I had them.

This is a statement that’s stupid as all hell if you cut a plant you stressed it if you Lst (low stress training) you stressed it not saying that’s bad but it’s stress

Hey quirk. My store by me don’t have light warrior I asked. Can I get a normal less hot potting soil from like Walmart or Home Depot and mix a bit with hf

Looking at pics of the first autos, or even just autos from a few years ago and comparing them to pics from today. They've improved a lot since then.
I haven't seen any potency analyses or anything, but I would love to see how they compare.
