Whatever nutrients you can get for photo start at 1/4 dose and go from there

[James Rupp]

Can you get cronk nutrients? They got a great autoflower 2 part. I’ve also grown autoflowers with gaia green if you can get it.

Hi Jesse lol

[Sharpshooter291]

Just wondering WHY would you grow autos inside, they are wank compared to photos..unless your growing outside in spring really isn’t any point

.don’t get caught up in the bs like allll the sheep everywhere

[Thickems]

Difference in light schedule, less feed, less space. I started with autos under the assumption they are easy to begin with, seemed fool proof. Sensitive as can be i found out. I can grow autos as large as my photos now, i prefer photo quality in the end. As well as switching to photos, my first photo was so easy after learning autos.

[Sharpshooter291]

Thickems (or anyone else) Have you ever grown both the photo and the auto version equivalent of it? …

I tried a few and the equivalent in auto is not really the original plant anyway and never will be, sometimes not even close!?..as thickens said, less quality flavour less smell, and I find they are always a narcotic high or sleepy compared to the photo counterparts..Interested to see if anyone else experiencing this. Or notices similar issues with autos. I’m pretty sure it’s NOT a coincidence. Wonder if people actually did a side by side comparison of the same strain auto and photo they stop using the autos?

[Thickems]

I have never done that grow, very interested now though. I will toss a few autos here and there just to bulk up for edibles or such. I have grown autos with photos, spent multiple years testing autos to learn them. They will always have that genetic difference though. Even mandalorian genetics i grew an f7, very stable but an auto is an auto. They have come a good ways but not a photo. I spent my first 4 years growing them, cant say i started wrong. And as effects, i agree with the sleepy. My latest auto was humbolt chunkadelic, outgrew my area, above my light, gave a great 22 ounces dry weight. Got drowsy fast, even edibles it hit that way. I can relate with that coincidence. Either route the plant can be learned, the growing can be experienced. They react fast and to little. Take your time give attention, keep a journal as you learn. Every day give attention and watches for changes good and bad. Your first harvest is always rewarding, even an auto. Mine was and i didnt care quality.

Great thanks for the info…it must be the rudarelis that makes them sleepy/muddy…so I’m not interested in them anymore I think they are fundamentally flawed because of the rudarelis…unless people wan to go to sleep after a spliff

[Sharpshooter291]

And you’re tight they have come a little ways but, I think they can’t, wont ever be as good! And interesting you get the same sleepiness from the autos….hmmmmmm lool

Hey new grower glad you decided to plant a seed. I get my autos from Smoking Monkey Genetics and Autoseedsource.com. They have autos that grow big in 10 weeks and get very heavy. They will help you with grow questions also, just like this site. I think George Cervantes wrote the cannabis bible.

thank you so much for all your help guy.. ok, so im hearing the plant photo’s, im down with that.. So last night i could’nt sleep”so started getting into some research, and i own a 3D printer that uses Poly Lactic Acid (PLA), which is made from corn starch and sugars, which i then found out, that when it breaks down is an excellent fertilizer, and further more the breakdown is accelerated when subjected to humid conditions and intense light, when this breakdown happens the lactic acid is beneficial for root development and aids in the uptake of nutrients by shedding Carbon and attaching to the nutrients and enabling the plant to rip the carbon and steal the nutrients, then on top of that it can help with PH also. SO my idea is to use PLA to create a watering ring and hook a line to a reservoir with a pump attached and run for 1 min in the morning during veg, then 1 min in morning and 1min in the evening during flower. What are your guys thoughts??

[endUKprohibition]

another question guys, sorry, how many photo’s would fit comfortably in a 4×4??

[Thickems]

I would go 4. Dont crowd and cause unneeded issues.

[Thickems]

I have used LABs (lactose acid bacteria) and succinic acids. Great for a living soil, i try to keep mine as active as possible. However PLA is like a micro plastic, to high levels with ruin plant growth. I do believe hand watering is a better way to start. Lift your planter keep weight, easy to tell when its drying. An automating system you rely on to many numbers and variables. Keep in touch with your grow and it will result better i feel.
