    Best Book on Growing Autoflowers

    I had an issue with my current grow. 3 of my photos had to be pulled. I think that using Recharge saved some of the problem plants in this grow.

    In order to have enough harvest to hold me over until my next grow is harvested I decided to start some photos which i ordered from ILGM (I Love Growing Marijuana).

    Can anyone recommend a book or other helpful information about growing autoflowers? More specifically I am looking for something that would discuss the differences between growing autos and photos.

    A great start is the site that sponsors this forum, GWE.com. This, if you have not read it, has more, easily understandable information in one place than most other sites. I reread the salient sections of the site before and during each grow. I constantly glean new information on each rereading.

      Needless to say but i agree with the above commentors.......GWE tutorials. And questions you want to ask on the forum I'm thrilled with my current outdoor autos i have going right now almost completed and it looks like end of July for 2 of them. I've had them indoors also, but man if you can ever grow them outdoors for free light not worry about times to switch over to bloom these can be a breeze. The strain i'm growing is looking like 90days seed to harvest Sweeeeeeet

        Thank you Old Man Grower, Stankybud and SoOrbudgal. I have found some information on growweedeasy.com that should be helpful. I am going to download it in .pdf format so that I will have it for future reference. I apologize for the slow response time. My life has been especially busy lately.

          I'm down with what y'all are saying about the great, GWE virtual tome. But I have to say I also like books. Especially textbooks. Call me a silly old fashioned.

            Thank you Gingerbeard and SoOrbudgal. Both forums and books have their place. SoOrbudgal you are a person after my heart. I love reading great literature and how to books in hardback form. Physical books also have the advantage of being available to consult if one loses power and/or the Internet. I suspect that many of us got started with the help of Jorge Cervantes and Ed Rosenthal when we had to drive to a bookstore and purchase their books for cash if we were cautious.

          Just try asking that book a question!
          Info can be updated here not so much in print.

            Table of contents. Index. Glossary. Appendices.
            Try flipping between chapters online. If I had books, the internet would be my backup.

          Size matters Stankybud . Part of the reason I don't have one of those new fangled tech-no-logicated cell phones is I can't read more than a couple postage stamps before getting the eye wiggles. I also have fat fingers. They're like jointed Kielbasas with fingernails. Books are not so particular about fingers.
          If I drop my book, the cover doesn't break, the battery doesn't fall out, and I don't pay $35,462 to replace it nor $5,000 a month to use it.
          No contracts with books.
          I will never ass-dial someone if I put my book in my pocket.
          Free at libraries. Pennies at thrift stores.
          No ads in books.
          No seizure causing strobe lights.
          If I want to beat someone without leaving bruises, I get a telephone book, not a cell phone. It takes a lot longer with a cell phone.
          Chicks dig dudes with books more than dudes with cell phones. Every schmuck can hide in public with their cell phone. I walk into a public place with hot babes, carrying a bag of books and find a place to sit. Look around and get a feel for the general attitude of the hotties. Figure out what they like. Felix into your bag of books and whip out something sensitive. A female author. Maybe even People magazine. They're like magnets. Drawing in the little Mona Lisas to talk to you about what you're reading. Works every time I think about it.

              Thank you all. I found three articles on Grow Weed Easy which thanks to a feature in the Safari browser I was able to easily download in .pdf format. They were:

                Why Beginners Should Grow Auto-Flowering Strains is actually a very cool book. I also read it some time ago, and the info there is very useful. I've read others, but this one is the most interesting for me. I study biology, and we learned something about cannabis, its cultivation, and its effect of it on people. And I even wrote small research on it, that's why I needed to read such books. But even after reading them, I still needed some help from PaperEll- it's a website that writes essays for you online because after I wrote one part of the paper, I got completely stuck with another one, so I decided to get help. And maybe, someone knows any other books about cannabis; I'd be thankful for the recommendations beause I'll continue studying it from the new semester.

                  Growing autos is not like practicing voodoo. It’s a plant that flowers with less than 12 hours of darkness. Watch it grow and it will tell you what it can tolerate. Be open to its communication and quell your desires (hopes) I admit it can be difficult, but it can be done.

                      Thank you for your recommendations. I'm sure this book is worth reading. I will definitely read it as soon as I find a literature review writer to clear my academic debts and free myself a little from the study routine and absorb some interesting information.
