Autoflower Thread & Resource Guide

Here's a couple of berries/widows I've been doing, my first autos. 60 days from seed, getting close now. 7-10 days maybe? One thing I've noticed these things do, grow fast. 10 days ago, no trics at all and the buds were small.

First post on this site been an avid reader of this thread - though currently only read the first 216 pages. Anyway new to growing auto flowering strains - this thread convinced me to give them a bash.

Five Buddha Red Dwarf Autoflowering where germinated in rock wool on Sunday - 4 days ago with vitalink start nutes - no problems, there all five started.

I have a couple of questions that I have not seen come up in what I have read on this thread.

Is it too soon for any of the seedlings to show sex? - One of mine is currently showing female at 4 days old and 1 inch tall - it still doesn't have it's first set of true leaves yet - (will try and get a photo up, when I can figure out how).

Since this is my first soil grow - I have always grown on an NFT table - is it possible to use too big a pot - I know it might sound stupid but I'm new to using dirt
 
are you sure it's not just new growth coming in that you may be mistaking for lady bits...? i have seen signs as early as a week or two though..
you should use as large a pot as your area allows or is suitable for you.. the bigger the pot the bigger the yield usually, within reason of course.. putting your red "dwarf" into a 50 gallon drum is not gonna give you a pound of bud obviously...

funny name - where do you stay? if you say the uk i'll laugh.. but not much...

If its a buddha red dwarf auto i think it should be feminized. Here are some pics of my buddha white dwarf autos yesterday. I'll post another from today when they're awake. I'm pretty sure most auto strains come feminized, though I definitely know of some that aren't. no it's not possible, thechnically, but you'll be using waay too much water/ferts than the plant will need. The maximum you really need for a 2 or 3 month autoflower is an 11 L pot. I've never had a problem with root growth when harvesting on time in under 3 months for most autos. You for sure don't need more than an 11L/3gal pot.
Hope that helped.

Harvest smoke report and current grow from 215 medicineman:-P.

He uses Foxfarms nute line-up. Full strength in veg. and in bloom he starts out @ 1/4 strength and goes to 1/2. 600 Hps lights a total of 4, currently using 2. It looks like he has 4 plants per light. he avg. over 3 oz. per plant with 1 that pulled over 7.

I'm getting nice frost and smell from my girls using my tea's and subcool's supersoil under my 2' 4 bulb T-5, just need a bigger light I guess to pull his kinda weight. Oh yeah and a bigger space, too. I will be using my 4' T-5 6 bulb for my next auto grow, Russian Rocket Fuel's in 2 gallon pots, so I will get a better yield than I will with my current grow, obviously. I will keep with the supersoil method as well since it is doing great so far for the little ones.

Enjoy the vid.

I chopped down 3 days ago and have been in the drying process since... smell is amazing, along with the amount of trichs that emerged from nowhere!!!! Did a quick dry process on a little sample (bout 2 gb's worth) I found that the steam dry microwave trick worked out wonderfully.

Cant wait to get the finished product!! :) oh hey, can someone tell me if it would be alright to cure my buds in the jar with little pieces of either orange or lemon so they suck up flavor.... is this true?
 
can any1 help me atall please my diesel ryder has been growing for nearly 5 weeks under a 200w enviro light and its 45cm but not that bushy im quite sure its just started fowering now?? do you think it will get any bushyer ??

If you want your plant to get bushier, LST the branches (tie the side branches down so more light gets exposed):)

I have personally tried this trick and I ruined a whole jar of buds. The orange peel must have some kind of citrus mold on it, because just like an orange left out on the counter, my bud had mold all over it after just sitting overnight with the peels. Maybe I @$$ed up somewhere, but I hate to see you ruin all that tasty bud! Try it on a small batch in a small jar, and see what you think. It will make really dry bud a little moist if left to sit together for an hour. Enjoy the smoke! ;)

Would love to see your outdoor autos

Coming soon!!! I have pics showing different stages of flower, and will detail the grow/smoke in a journal (I learned a lot about autos and the great outdoors, plus I have some anti-bug, deer, stealth grow tricks...) and post a bit here as well after the grow. Sketching right now though...lol.

Too much sampling. :weed: + me= :shock:. oof. Todays lesson: don't pluck off a side cola and eat it like a salad. Mommy!
