Thanks for the quick replies everyone!

K21701:

I know that, but i meant which plants require a smaller pot size in general, ie a larger pot would not give greater yields, and how big would that be? Or is it the case regardless of strain a bigger pot will always give greater yields even with AFs?

Completely forgot about LST, I gave it a go last time, but don't think i did it justice, it's something i'll keep in mind though


Petflora:

I have and still am searching through attitude seeds website, but with all the new companies and strains it gets confusing especially when no specific height is really given!

edit: sorry i just noticed that was a link, ill have a look see there too

thanks again

mizuchi / look for plants like greenomatic, and big buddha automatic, flash cobra, they grow more christmas tree like, not as bushy as some others, so in combo with like 1 gallon pots you will be fine fine /hell theres guys growing in soil or hempy style in 2 liter bottles/and old coffee containers with great success . just with a smaller pot you have to water a little more like every other day instead of 2-3 days.

enybody know how to grow auto flowers?

hi its my first time on here and i would like it if someone could give me some advice. i have decided to grow some auto flower seeds(big bang auto,from www.greenhouseseeds.nl )hope that helps. i am going to use all-mix soil wich consists of 20% sphagnum peat moss, 35% garden peat, 10% high quality organic worm manure, 30% perlite and 5%pre mix from( www.biobizz.com ).now the nutes i have are bio-grow which i dont think i need to use as the soil is very potent for the first 4 weeks. i also have bio-bloom and topmax which i have been advised to use in the last 4 weeks but i dont know if this is the right thing to do and if it is the right thing to do i dont know what measurements. all my nutes are from (www.biobizz.com) and my nutes and soil are designed to work together. i would apreciate eny help, advice, input please as i have my seeds in water now

I grow all my autos in humboldt soil which is nuteless...after confirming germ, I plant and wait....I start bio-grow/fishmix at 10-12 days, and after flowering, topmax and bio-bloom....
With soil that's already nuted, after planting your seed in MOIST soil, don't water for several days....this is where patience is required....let the soil almost dry out....container weight should have been checked before adding your first water......water when it gets that light again.....watering releases nutes that can and will stunt your seedlings.

GHS autos are typically very bushy with a very high leaf to bud ratio....pretty easy to interpret their needs....bio-bizz is good stuff....don't overuse it....

ok, so im getting that everyone thinks that autos should have shown sex by day 27, given that mine haven't what should i consider doing?

Im on 18/6 light cycle.

600whps/140xCFL

Whatever the suggestion, i will allow them to go through till the 30th, but if nothing by then i will take some steps...

Flip to 12/12 and keep them there for the remainder of the grow... had first hand experience with an auto that I had to force to flower and thought I could flip her back to 18/6....boy was I WRONG!!!!!

hi again loving the answers this thread provides but i want to know more ,

what other factors can cause an auto not to flower under a 18/6 cycle?

and if by day 30 you have no flowers and flip to 12/12 how long would it be untill you should notice flowers

and how long from then till the plant is ready?

also has anyone ever had one that just wont flower no matter what? thanks x
