The Great Auto Showdown

[oldjarhead100]

I was out watering yesterday and when done I decided to hang a game cameras near one of my stands , when I got there I found a camera that I have been hunting for all spring ,where I thought it was was a mile in and I did 4 trips To look ,(I did alot of scouting as well) so happy to find it , oh I found it the day after I purchased 3 new cameras

The woods girls all looked good ,I have to spend some time with them trimming and supporting ,I have 2 that are hanging down and more are going to need it

My first autogrow, Jack Herer
No nutes as of yet, will add after roots pop out.
Last year had a problem with having the pump in the tote, it was just running to hot. This year will use an old fashion "Spitter" .

Setup for the start below.

[Retodd]

Good luck. I know oldjarhead100 has grown them. I haven’t had luck with either the jacks or jock horror seeds. That strain just hates me...lol

[RagWeedDWC]

Wife's plants have been doing ok, leggy but they were thrown in a pot and told to survive. Going to try to Auto's this year, just to keep space needs down. Will use feminized next year one I find a mother I like, clone it, clone it

[oldjarhead100]

the girls are looking very happy I tried to do individual shots with there names but alas some slipped my memory lol

[GreenState]

No grits? (g) That "maybe" pineapple chunk looks like it would be a good indoor candidate.

[RagWeedDWC]

Sounds like a waffle house grand slam with extras

Welcome to the foggy bottom OJ

Juicy that first pic looks like most all the autos I've grown outdoors this summer. A bunch of tight suger leaf but the buds from my plants never got solid there real larfy. I don't know might of been all the environmental flux where i'm at?? So far my experimenting with autos out doors although quicker have not been very good yields nor quality. What's your thoughts with outdoor auto if I may ask? Oh I mean no offence by what I stated in second sentence just that it looks like mine.

[oldjarhead100]

I see all the autos grows with fantastic yield and I wonder how did they do that ,In my experience you have to provide perfect conditions from seed pop to harvest ,any slow down will hurt yield ,I tried them outside one year I had one plant that really produced but everything else was small and larfy

[s62]

Y’all are making me nervous! I went all in on autos for my second grow. I hope I get good yields :/

[SoOrbudgal]

s62 Hey don't let my experience so far hinder you from trying them. I'm not giving up with them outdoors it's just like OJH says, certain strains do better outdoors and it's got to be near perfect conditions. I'm going to grow again next summer but will hold off till early summer warmer temps to put them out. And the I will research the strain more carefully. They have been doing wonders with new autos. But my photos are my passion outdoors and in. Indoors I have good luck with autos firm buds and decent yield for small plants.

[oldjarhead100]

dont get worried If you know how they grow you can keep things just so and you will do fine , I still grow autos they are lots of fun, just read all the info on them here ,,the only hard part is keep there environmental influences so they dont influence them lol

[Retodd]

s62 I just started growing autos a couple yrs ago myself. I’m a outdoors man, just like my folks and friends always were. I went all out and got the tent, lights, etc. My first harvest paid for everything tho. I’ve grown widows twice and blue cheese since. I’m gonna start my next grow as soon as my soil get in. I’ll be harvesting my outdoor grow in the next couple months. Too bad I can fit my 8’+ plants in tents right? 😂

[s62]

I really want to try outdoors next year! Good luck with upcoming grows.

[SoOrbudgal]

Oh i'm not at all an expert with auto's no way LOL this is my first attempt outdoors with them. Your indoor grow will be WAY different and much easier to control environment. No worries their are much much more help here than myself. I'm new to autos, I've always grown photos.

[Rwise]

Here is my outdoor auto, from my own seed, a Widowbanger @ 74 days old this morning. I did not get a lot from my first autos, my bad.The others are all photos, clones in pots, the new girl is just out into the sunshine, still has bluing from the CFLs.
I will do autos outside in the spring, may be in 7 gallon pots, plan is to start them just before frost are over and then plant photos once the autos are in flower. This should give me a mid summer harvest, and then the fall harvest. And if we plant 12 different strains each, should be a nice selection, just like going to the dispensary!
I hope I have time I just dropped more auto seed outside,,,, I may have to cover them.

[oldjarhead100]

they are looking fantastic great idea planting autos early to have them in bloom when the frost is gone

[Rwise]

Thanx, I think everyone's plants are looking fantastic!
Use all short crop autos, and stay within our laws with the photos vegging! The auto here is a test for outdoor,, well I have 5 more up! Maybe I can sneak them in before frosts,,,

[RagWeedDWC]

The wife chunked two Jack Herer into her garden, watered and fed them along with everything else. Deer got one of them so she moved the other. She throws a little miracle grow at it when she does the garden, gets watered with the rain and a sprinkler. Im scared my indoor grow will not do as well this year and I will have to hear about it! :-)

Approx 30 days old.

[RagWeedDWC]

Pretty sure it was deer, but my hound will chase a bud in a second... so the verdict is out.

[Rwise]

Deer make good fertilizer, just plant them in the patch, or eat them and plant the remains in the patch

[oldjarhead100]

paint balls hurt when you get hit and they are fun to shoot ,they should wash off in a rain , I dont know if they will come back but it certainly makes you feel better

[Spidermite]

s62 you will do fine with autos. This one was started August 1st and is about 4 feet tall in a 10gallon cloth pot. Coast of Maine soil no nutrients used so far. Its lowering its leaves due to the light being to close as it grew 4 inches in 30 hours.

[s62]

Glad to see you, spidermite! I hope things are growing and going well for you. Thanks for the vote of confidence. You’re one of the main reasons I went with autos this time. In particular, it was your experience with FastBuds that sent me that direction.
Also, that’s a gorgeous plant you’ve got! Curious what she’ll yield.

[Spidermite]

Its fastbuds six shooter. They average for me about 280 grams or so usually. To be honest I have been neglecting my plants and she still turned out this well so far. I'm sure you will be golden

[s62]

That’s a fantastic number. If I can get that off 4 plants, I’ll be happy lol.

[SoOrbudgal]

Your gonna do fine s62 your indoor setup looks A+

[s62]

Thanks again, budgal, I sure hope you’re right!

[OlderNOTwiser]

Just curious...is it normal for a post to just take off and get 4000 responses or is this some new trend?

[Canuck147]

Probably cuz we started with over a dozen growers.

[9fingerleafs]

yeah this is the one single topic where one can keep up with how all the other members are doing, everybody is welcome to post and share and comment and the more the merrier

[Mr.furley]

2 of the Autoflowers got too tall and had to be banished to the bigger tent under 250w mh it was a hard decision to pull them out from the 100w light but was needed.

[oldjarhead100]

why not just super crop them ?

[Mr.furley]

Good point Ohj, but I have run out of horizontal space as well.

[oldjarhead100]

Thats a damn fine reason lol

[Canuck147]

With the sun shining through.- it's easy to see which plant has bigger buds - Candy Kush on the left - Chemdog has some Larfy buds happening as the last one had that I harvested - so - I topped the buds.

About 1/4 inch I snipped off - did it to the Chemdog in the tent as well.

[Canuck147]

2 gallon pots Retodd.

[oldjarhead100]

getting plants like that in 2 gallon pots holy cow ,I concede all growing ability's to the master

[Retodd]

That’s what I’m sayin OJH! Surprising!

[Juicyj89]

You guys think this plant will have a good yield? P98 Bubba kush in 5 ga .

[Juicyj89]

So is that a yes?

[Canuck147]

Boomshuckaluck - French Canadian word for - Bloody Well Right

[Juicyj89]

Haha hell yeah that's what I love to hear. Thanks mate
