Autoflower Thread & Resource Guide

[dirtnap411]

Don't get me wrong, I'll run an occasional batch of autos once I get a tent so I can veg and flower at the same time, I plan on growing Roadrunner again, I love that stuff, and there are some new strains coming out that have me curious, but until I have my tent, it's all photoperiod for this run.

Dirtnap dont you think for an offseason harvest its worth it?

 

[businessmen]

can someone tell me how to upload pics on here please? I've got 11wk auto tundra in and 8wk auto big buddha. could really do with a bit of advice

Just go to advanced and attachments I think. Your plants have been going a long time. Harvest soon?

Autoflowers for me are for outdoor purposes only. I had issues last year with farmers harvesting their crops earlier than normal, which forced me to harvest early. I was fucking pissed to say the least, a 7 foot tall white rhino, with 2-3 more weeks to go. It was still good but not what it would have been, a decent harvest 6 ounces dry, but again, not what it would have been. They harvested over a month early. Which to this day still confuses the hell out of me. Bastards. So now I am doing autos outdoors because I know I can grow them to full maturity and have them harvested before the farmers come and harvest their crops, plus its not as big a deal for me to grow outdoors, with the indoor setup at a friends house that I have invested in.

Hey guys, just wanted to toss a few more pictures up. Here is my little closet DWC grow Day 46 from seed, ~4 weeks into Flower. 1 Sweet Seeds Fast Bud and one Paki/Ryder. The Fast Bud has taken up most of the space but the Paki is still in there (the darker leaves on the top of the picture are the Paki)..

Interesting to see your fast bud, mine looks more indica, yours more sativa.

I was hoping I'd be harvesting the tundra this week but they're taking ages to flower! I've had to put them on 12/12 to try and force them!!

Is that from Nirvana? From experience, that's a healthy grower. I only had one problem when one of the seedling's taproot didn't get securely anchored down into the soil-so she didn't make it. Other than that, I'd do that strain again.

If its an auto, you cant force flowering on them, changing the light schedule will not cause them to flower. You would just be taking away light hours which is definitely not what you want to do.

That looks nice, very healthy. Looks outdoors, when did you start that out side? Or did you start inside?

 

[husalife]

It was all indoor, I just like to get 'em out in the real sunshine when i can as often as I can.

71 days from jiffy pod to Mason Jar, around 24.3 grams total. Grown in soil 2 gal pot.

I was under the same impression mate, so I contacted dutch passion and that was their advice! I think they're shite plants to be honest and not stablised properly

Personally, I think so, they are fun to grow, they just don't produce as well as traditional strains.

I have a tundra growing right now and its by far the best strain I have every grown (even being an auto!). All the seeds autoflowered just fine (I got 3 seeds) and turned out great, you must have got the unlucky seed that didn't get the autoflowering genetics! Has it started flowering since you put them in 12/12? I bet it turns out to be a great strain anyway!

I'm excited cuz I got an auto-himalayan blue diesel and diesel ryder males that are about to release pollen and I'm gonna cross it with some of the smaller tundra nugs to get a bunch of awesome auto seeds. (I think the blue diesel and tundra will be a GREAT combo.)

And please don't give up on the tundra yet if you got any more seeds! Its some of the best smelling bud you will ever grow, really fruity and pungent, you literally just wanna stuff your nose in it! Good luck!
