The Great Auto Showdown

I was going to bail on this grow I didn't want to spend money on one plant ,but this morning I changed my mind I dropped 10 kush seeds ,5 diesel, and my last Jack herrer, now they will all pop cause theres no way I have room for 16 plants lol, and I still have 6 kush and 4 diesel all free maybe thats why they didnt pop lol
 
Juicyj89 I really dont think you can fit 4 in there. Have you seen how big some autos get? To give you an example you could got to my Gave Up post and look at the size of those autos at the end. There were 6 Carmelicious which are nice size but no where near the biggest, in a 4x4 space. It was to packed for my comfort. Non stop worrying about bud rot.
 
Juicyj89 it's all good and you said nothing wrong. You just misunderstood me. I no longer like to take reports, keep track of things, write things down etc. Last night I was going through every message on this post to get names etc. Well after I scratched out strain type the 20th time I said ok names are going to have to do. Lol
 
Yes @oldjarhead I think 50% or more of my free seeds never pop. My success rate on seeds I paid for is almost perfect. So I am sure it was the seeds.
 
Thing one will be sour60 and only 3/5 seeds germinated so I started some kush autos. First one to sprout will be thing 2. Been super busy so will take pics and what not when I can.
 
I'd join in for sure as i 'd like to keep busy with a winter grow. However I still haven't received my auto GG4s from Seedsman that were ordered way back in September. And now the re-send seems to have disappeared as well. I had the orders sent to different names, and addresses so that can't be the problem. Strangely I have not received a notification from customs for either order. So I am thinking the problem lies on Seedsman's end.
 
Exactly my suspicion. Certainly would raise your profit margin wouldn't it? Back in September I ordered from Nirvana, and had my seeds in 8 business days.
 
Just let it go and 99% of the time or more they correct themselves. More people kill them than save them when they intervene. Not saying you would. But a helmet head is a positive because it's out of the ground.
 
Yeah she seems to be a beast already ahead of the others so if she has the will she’ll push that seed of by the end of the day. I believe in her.
 
Boy I am really annoyed this morning. So far all of my Blue Tooth From MSNL have sprouted and are doing fine. I ended up planting 5 of them. And I now have 5 of them.

However the auto ak47 from msnl has had only 2 out of 5 sprout. The 3 that have not popped all have tails and have had them for several days. They just started and I guess said well boys I think this is a perfect place to set up camp. They are not showing any signs of dying but also zero signs of growing. Uggg God damn reshipment seeds. As bad as free seeds. Lol
 
Thing 2 is above ground, still waiting on Thing 1

Redwasp Yuppers I guess I'm in. I ordered a batch of seeds from the new guy, seven days from cash out til seeds in, great service Paul. And thanks to D.A.A.S.69 for the glowing recommendation of newguy 420. On 12/1 I soaked two Sweet tooth seeds 24 hrs. then put inna zip bag in a folded moist paper towel under a desk lamp with a 150 eq. 40 watt true 6500 cfl @ about 3 in. for warmth they cracked 24 hrs. so into rapid rooters and solo cups with my preferred soil now 2in. tall under three of the 150 cfls 24/0 . I germinate in a clear solo cup, set into a red solo to block light but I can check root development whenever. I invert another clear on top to create a humidity dome that I take off for a few hrs. of fresh air each day until they are ready to rock 0n. In a couple of weeks they'll go in 3 gal. smart pots under a Sun 315 L.E.C. in my 48x48x80.

This is something that many first time auto growers dont think about because everything in most of the literature says that autos dont like many nutrients. Well some do not like alot, some like about average or the same as photos, and some like alot of nutrients. The seed company can help advise you on this, you can look up others grow journals on your strain, or you can go and use trial and error and common sense. There are grow journals online on every strain I've ever seen for sale.

Most autos also do great with lst/fming and Low stress training. Some like to be defoliated more than others. Again look up grow journals, talk to the breeder, or trial and error.

I have not seen a major difference in yields due to pot size on most autos. I have used 3 gallon hard pots. 5,7, and 10 gallon fabric pots and they all were very close to each other in size and yield. Now there are some mega sized autos out there that would greatly benefit from 7 gallons or larger. I think fast buds tangimatic is 1.

This one goes without saying but check your plants everyday preferably twice a day. Things happen. Things go wrong or break etc and you can lose everything including burning your house down if you do not check them everyday.

Anyways I am sure my voice has worn out its welcome. But was trying to pass on a few tips until someone starts doing it too. Then the next person can etc. Lol Pass out tips or what works for you.
