Auto flowers are just fun

[abadtrip]

I love growing autos I am growing a chistal meth and tangie manic by fast buds I am extremely impressed with there genitics. Both seeds were droppd in rr on 1/4/18 so they are 37 days old today.
I topped both at the third and trained them
the christal meth is flowering real nice and has been for a week.
the tangie is still stretching with no signs of slowing down I tied down the main growth tips today and she is now starting to fill every void in the tent i would love her to just stop stretching and flower.
I love autos they grow up so fast
I made some new res for my autos now I can go from a 3.5 gal bucket for seedlings and early to mid veg 5 gal for late veg early flower 20 gal holds 10 for mid flower to the end. I used to just top the res off ever other day in flower but I am going on vacation and needed to hold enough fluid for 10 days. It is also shorter than a 5 gal bucket so I got more head room.

Beautiful looking plants! 37 days old - and there is the fun and wonderment of the autoflowers. I had a stupid OG Kush last year stretch up past 5 feet, fortunately was in the middle of a sunny heat wave so I just banished her outside.
FastBuds is top of my list for some growing this summertime. They got so many autoflowers available -GG - GSC - LSD 25 - just got a few other beans in the fridge to use first.
Also when one is a couple of weeks from harvest you germinate more. That'll cut 15 - 20 days off growing time.

I do like to just keep this tent rolling next up it's bubble kush from rqs and Mexican airlines by fast buds

Wonderful plants to grow i also love autoflowers thats all i grow , i have a green crack auto n she is a beast

[dontknownuttin]

I agree! I am growing my first photo and its autos for me from now on!

[abadtrip]

I also grow photos but that's more like watching paint dry once flowering starts I don't get to see them much because of the light secudals

[DingusKhan]

Very nice, Trip! I love having an auto going in the corner under some cheep ass light, just to see what it pulls off. But I'm about to pull the trigger and get a LEC, and I'll have about the same set up as you. I got some "good" auto seeds, finally, and I can't wait to see what it will do under it.

[abadtrip]

Under an lec they will explode

This makes me very excited to grow my tangie from
fast buds. Tangie has been one of my go tos at the dispensary. Lots of pics pls 😀

[Locrian99]

I see that going over like a lead weight.

[Locrian99]

Although she does smoke more than me

[DingusKhan]

I think your line of reasoning is sound.

[alltatup]

abt, your plants are gorgeous!! I've never grown an auto, but I got nothin but love for em.

[D.A.A.S.69]

Hey Alltatup, yeah, always outdoors, and fixing to back to only outdoors, this sh-t inside is scary as hell, to me.
Big differences, in it, for one thing outdoors growing around here is super hard ass,an hot WORK
Inside way way easier,
You got so much more stuff to think about growing outdoor, like where's the best morning sun, where's the best place for your plants, to catch a breeze, where the nearest water.
Then you got your snakes, bugs, bad storms, all kinds of sh-t, you got to look out for.But the worst one, is the pot poachers. We done dealt with them, they aint coming back. Lol

[alltatup]

D.A.A.S.69 Now I'm totally confused: you say it's easier and yet it's "scarier" to grow indoors: why is it scarier?

I bet you grow enough outside to keep everybody happy for an entire year, so there's the payoff of outdoor growing--if you make it through all the other threats you mention. I gotta know, DAAS: what did you do to the pot poachers? Huh, whadja do????

[D.A.A.S.69]

HEY Alltatup, inside, is way easier than outside, your right about the amount, alot sometimes, but I better not say what happened to them, I will tell you though, with a text.

[D.A.A.S.69]

Morning Abadtrip, beautiful plants, yes I'm with you on the autos, absolutely love them, I've grown plenty of photos,and love them too,but they remind me of driving a school bus
compared to driving a Corvette. lol

[oldjarhead100]

I'm going to throw this out there I am noticing that when I plant auto seeds that I will start say 10 out of that 10 only 3 or 4 will take off the rest stay small .has anyone else notice this .
I thought it was temp related so I got heating pads ,my temps stay in the 70s now
thought I could use more lights put 6 300 w leds on 24/7
water temp is between 68 and 71
using kind soil with roots organic original for top soil . also tried there RO green fields there super soil. the 2 biggest plants are growing 1 in kind soil the other in RO only ,never water to run off

I'm at a loss about what i'm doing wrong any ideas When I first started autos inside I manifolded them they took off and did fine . now i.m lucky if I can get them to grow over 8 inches tall it seems

[alltatup]

D.A.A.S.69 you ain't lyin about plant intelligence!!!

[D.A.A.S.69]

I believe every word of that Alltatup, we didn't see many skimpy plants during warmer weather.
They damn sure smarter than I am. Funny how when cows are standing up on your way deer hunting, the deer are up an moving too, same way you see the cows laying down, the deer are laying down too, unless someone spooked them.

[alltatup]

abadtrip I know it's kinda late, but I just read what you wrote. Just wanted to add: that is one good thing about grow boxes: they're ideal for winter growing because they self-contain the heat in winter; all I have to do is keep the room at a decent night temp when lights are out. I've noticed the soil growers who struggle in the winter exactly because of what you wrote.

SUPER AUTOS I have been reading about super autos and have found no convincing evidence this exsist. From what I can tell and I could be completely wrong super autos are just good breeding. From where we have come from the original lowrider from back in the day to what we have now is just good breeding.
under what ppl are calling super autos aka a big auto flower well bred stock.

my tangie shows all the signs of a super auto long veg huge plant much larger than any auto I have grow it has large fans like a well developed photo. But fastbuds says nothing super about it I don't know I just think it's a marketing ploy to make me think I am crazy.

[DingusKhan]

I'm with you, man. I tried some Dr. Shiva Super Autos last year, was supposed to get several meters high. Meh. It got to a real scraggly 2 or 3 feet high, pretty ugly. I didn't even bother to cut it down. It looked like shit. I had such high hopes. Maybe that was the one bum seed in the bag, and I should give them another chance, but now I have others that I would rather grow more.

[abadtrip]

The tangie is taking over my tent I am very surrised as to how much it is growing.

I have done my 8 day test and at the end I had plenty of fluid and my ph was at 5.9 down from 6.2 so that makes me excited I can now leave for 7 days and not have to touch my plants.
I added a pic of the roots from the cristal meth.

[alltatup]

Truly a beast.

[oldjarhead100]

I thought you had a feather stuck in your root basket until I looked real close amazing I love to see roots from hydro

[roccus]

I am doing my first auto grow... mixed feelings so far all 3 of them are 25 days old since germinated

I have this 1 sativa that is looking like a dud but it is still alive... then I have the 2 indicas that are looking ok

[oldjarhead100]

roccus I have some afgan kush ryders autos that are in bloom and only that big lol

[DingusKhan]

I think I see the problem on the little wrapper in the solo cup. I ran a couple of their seeds last summer, meh. Your indicas are doing well for young ones.

Your avatar kills me, man. He haz a happy.

[roccus]

Oldjar your kidding right??? lol
Dingus... you mean Canuk seeds?? I got it from True North seed bank. I sent them a pic a couple days ago of it and told them I was not impressed... no word back yet from them

BTW the indicas are Dutch Passion seeds.... auto night queen

EDIT just got a reply from True North bank... basically they told me to go screw myself... I will never buy from them again so in the end they can go screw themselves...

[oldjarhead100]

I think that was a perfect reply

[roccus]

Oh my god oldjar that is to funny!! ... I am going to try to keep my mini alive and see what happens... maybe someone will want a clone lol

[abadtrip]

I am back from my holiday i had fun found out my dad grew weed apprently all over the dam world he gave me some seeds he said he had from the 70s I'll grow them outside if they germ.

my plants are looking good the tangie is huge much bigger than I can manage. For my tent I am not at a loss to what I can do.

[Locrian99]

I guess I won’t be growing any of those in the little tent hah

[D.A.A.S.69]

abadtrip, I wish i had a big ass, tall tent too. I had to pull my plant out of my tent, cause I'm determined to grow us an autoflower that aint trained or topped, I thought in that small 2gallon pot, she's in, I didn't plan on her getting that damn tall.
Ain't no way in hell for my lights to cover that tall plant neither, I got the 315cmh on top ,2-300watt leds hanging sideways, an 8-10 cfls on them long ass, branches. Seems like I remember reading you hung your leds like that Abadtrip, I reckon its working ok, the rest of em ,damn sure getting topped an trained, I bet you.

[abadtrip]

D.A.A.S.69 I wish I could take her out but I think I have s plan I am going to start harvest on my badass kush tonight 1 plant is ready for some reason she is done small compact hard buds all hairs brown the trics have big plump mushroom heads. The other plant in my scrog is not ready non of the hairs are brown and the buds are fat and getting bigger trics are not plump and mushroom like yet so she is going a little longer. Long story short in the next week I can move my cm auto to my photo tent and stretch out the tangie under all 3 leds.
