I got a free Kannabia Matero Blue Auto seed and I want to give it to a buddy who grows outdoors. I really don't know anything about autos so not sure if growing it outdoors is a good idea. Any idea?

I think it's a great idea. Start it inside under for until it shows sex then move it outdoors. It's a little late in the year though...

My nl autos showed sex almost 3 weeks ago but haven't shown any bud forming progress since. They are continuing growth though. The tallest is 44". I'm going to switch to 12/12 and having to use the whole closet. This is going to get interesting!

There are tons of autos nowadays, and I definitely recommend Attitude seed bank from all of the comments I've read and from my own experience ordering from them. They're not the cheapest, but you definitely get what you pay for in the seed world. For example, I've seen a lot of comments about the Auto seeds from Nirvana not being true Autos, and having to switch them to 12/12 to get them to eventually flower. Obviously the experiences vary, but apparently that's happened a lot with them. I also recommend the extra money for the Fem. seeds, UNLESS you want to impregnate one or more of your females and make your own seeds. With the typical male to female ratio you seem to get from an order of random seeds, it seems that it's more cost effective to pay extra for the fems, plus you don't have to worry as much about sex'ing.

Typical delivery time is about 10-12 days from when you place the order (my first order took 9 days I think), and I HIGHLY recommend using the stealth options available since you're already spending a lot of money, and there's nothing worse than waiting anxiously for a couple weeks to get seeds and instead receiving a letter from customs saying they were seized. My first order I went with some Easy Ryders after doing my homework on Autos, based on the strains it was bred from, the ease of growing, time to harvest, yield, and definitely vertical size since I'm growing indoors. All of those factors can vary greatly with Autos just as they can with Photo-period strains, so you really need to look at each of the Autos on the Attitude site, and find the one(s) that meet your needs. Easy Ryders are a great option, but read up and make your own choice!

I just found out that I have an AF going. I have 3 Cannabiogen Sugarloaf and one Dutch Passion Tundra in a 3x3 ebb and flow on 18/6, under a 600w MH Hortilux. They are 26 days old from seed. Two or three days ago I noticed white pistils at the nodes on my Tundra. I thought this was kind of odd and after some reasearch I found that I have a Dutch Passion AF Tundra Fem. The seed was just from pick n mix and I threw it on my order to take up the rest of my pre paid card. The packet doesnt say it's autoflowering anywhere on it. Since it's growing with my other plants, which aren't AF, should I flush for a week when it's ready to go even though my other plants will prob just be ready to flower? I'm not going to be able to hit it with bloom nutes bc the other plants arent there yet. Should I take the AF down before I switch to 12/12? That also means she's not going to ever be under my HPS.

I would say the hps should make up for the loss of time. They can still be a nice plant under 12/12. I'd say try it before you knock it. Why not.

Ya Im def going to try it. What do ppl usually use to grow an AF plant? Do u go HPS from seed? How do you gauge Mild growth, growth, transition and bloom on a plant that has such a short life span? I'm actually very happy with the plant, it just kind of threw me off bc I've never read about them until now honestly.

I use veg lights until they show sex, then switch to the flowering lights. Joint Doctor has a pretty detailed grow guide. I think someone posted a link a few pages back.

I have tried the organic soil, soiless, and DWC. I will be using DWC only. Growth is unmatched. No doubt about it. It is so easy. You have so much control. With these autos stunting in the first three weeks is not a good thing. It will effect the size of your plant alot. Any problem in soil or soiless may take days to fix. Not good! In DWc any problem diagnosed properly can be taken care of in hours.

I am having the same problem with my NL autos but I see more white hairs each day. Still no bud production up to this point and they broke soil on June 13th. My tallest is getting taller and the last time I measured it a few weeks ago it was at 36 inches. When did yours break soil?

It was going to be for next seasons grow. Figured if he started it at the same time as his others, give him a little something before regular harvest time. Any thing I really need to know about auto's over regular seeds? I don't even think he know's that autoflowering strains exsist. lol

Whats up everyone. I just picked up 2 bags of FFOF for my first auto grow. 80 miles roundtrip in rush hour traffic to the hydro store. have to find someplace closer. Anyway. I got a supeflower box from supercloset. T5 fluor in the veg chamber and a 250 watt hps in the flower. I grew a white widow a few months back that gave me almost 4 oz so i got enough to last while i play with the auto seeds from BCBD. Can't wait to start.
