And I thought autoflowers were smaller

[Bigpapa]

I could swear that I read somewhere that autoflower strains were smaller then photo period strains. Apparently not in this case. The plants shown below are supposed to be Skunk autos. The seeds were a Christmas gift so I don’t know a great deal about them. But it is obvious to me that they are Setiva dominate. They are already taller than my last photoperiod grow.

Untrained autos can reach 1m+ tall, even 100% indica x ruderalis

Really nice looking plants. If they were mine, they wouldn't have any of those big fan leaves on the bottom - or in the middle. You want to thin out the middle so the buds can fatten up without touching anything. Less chance of mold.
I had an OG Kush grow up to 5 feet last year, fortunately it was during a sunny hot spell so I just kicked her out of the tent. I have two more OG Kush growing right now and both are stretching.

They are u will never grow an auto to the size of a massive photo grown over several months they just don't live that long.
But u do have some beatiful plants there I love autos.

Hey abadtrip, if you have experience with autos, what nutrients and at what levels do you use? I’m using GH Flora Trio at half strength.

I have amazing results with autos I grow in dwc I use technaflora base nutes at 60 percent with hydrogard and calmag. My last auto I got 9 0z from a 9 week grow under 2 v300 viperspectra leds

haha I'm lucky if I got an ounce form some of my autos of the winter the newest ones are getting pretty big so the yield should improve

9 oz. in 9 weeks is pretty impressive. What strain and if you don’t mind, where did you get it from?
