they're not autoflowering. Does this mean I have to top them and prune for maximum yield. I suppose I shouldn't press the 'buy now' button so fast. Haste makes waste.

I agree with all above, flip at half the height you want them to finish at but make sure you have extra room in case they triple during the stretch. In my experience if you dont have the room they will probably grow taller than you want. Murphy's Weed Law lol. Other than that, they are no different to grow than Auto flowers, except you can clone a photoperiod and get more plants

Ok. Thank you for explaining that for me. THat's good to know. I have those seeds germinating right now. I'll definitely do that. My other plant that has survived is about 2months old from the time I germinated her. It's an autoflowering feminized White Widow plant. It's doing well. I keep it in a pot outdoors, unless it's not sunny, in which case I put it under full spectrum grow lights. Should that be on the 18/6 schedule as well? I think it's still in the vegetative growth stage. THanks again.

Thanks Allenpro. I sprayed it with Captain Jack's this morning. I screwed up and two months ago started germinating autoflowering seeds without knowing they mature in about 2months and need the 18/6 light schedule. I've ignorantly been keeping it outside like a normal plant daylight schedule. So I'm trying the 18/6 schedule for a week to promote more vegetative growth. It's not a very big plant. I've also got four seedlings in the ground today, so I'm not out yet. Thanks for all the responses and I'm sure I'll be back.

Have you considered growing a cannabis plant and letting it follow its natural growth pattern? I’d recommend that if you’ve not grown before, simply to get your feet wet and gain some experience Topping or fimming is easy to do. Check out the GWE site for tutorials. Basically top the main stem at the 5th node. Both autos and photo period plants can be topped or fimmed. Also, check out the tutorials on defoliation and pruning.Auto/Photo Tent: Gorilla 2x4x7'11" HLG 350R, Infinity 4" w/Carbon Filter, Coco 50/50 perlite
