Transplant within a week of sprouting.

No setbacks in veg, you need all the time you get. A setback in veg will GREATLY influence final quantity.

Its all about timing. They can take as much as a photo at right time. Nutes, light, lst, hst, etc.

@scottyreal @grambo @dude These things need very small amounts of water to get started not a 1/4 gallon 4 times a day. Think 50/100ml once a day for the first week.

Keep The root zone around 80 degrees fahrenheit 25 degrees Celsius.

Provide a large starting pot 5 gal min unless up potting the idea is to avoid letting the tap root hit the bottom.

Water with low ppm 200/400 ppm starting at the first sign of any foliage (the first few waterings being just water)

Ph water at 5.8 6.5 fluctuate between the two as nutrients are being absorbed at different rates in different ph levels.

Start with a trusted seed bank barneys farm, seeds here now etc ( dont ask anyone for a cut of there autoflower )

Environment mannn 85+ humidity (with vents or some kind of circulation) temps 78/80 degrees fahrenheit 25 degrees Celsius.

Check ppfd map of light brand if possible as to adjust lighting around 200 ppfd starting out. Pushing it further around 300 after the first true leaves start to show or slightly before.

Less is more they are designed to not be forgiving. just 2 hit the ground running.

Cool short story about growing ruderalis in 1998.

My very country friend went to the big city of Amsterdam on a family vacation, so I asked him to grab me some seeds from Sensi Seed Bank. He asked a guy who looked like he would know where Sensi Seeds was located. Instead, the guy ended up selling him some of his personal “special” seeds. Literally the country bumpkin spending all my money on “magic beans” in the big city like in the parable.

The seeds end up being Northern Lights #2 x Ruderalis. The guy he spoke and bought the seeds from was Gypsy Nirvana. So, I got to grow some of the first ever produced autoflowers in 1998, before the word autoflower even existed. So that was cool. This was so long ago I was also growing Williams Wonder at the time.

They are perfect. Get in there and defoliate. It will not slow them down. Side branching will explode when you do. I do not dry back autos with grow dots. Keep the water flowing to the final week. Didn’t Dax tell you Autos are Ferrari’s? Well smash the gas to the floor and be amazed. Seriously, wouldn’t it be cool if your auto won the Cup next year?

My best tip for dank autos? Treat ‘em like a lit fuse, not a photoperiod. Every day counts, so build a microbe buffet early, keep the soil biology groovin, and let the plant spend her short life partying instead of recovering from our mistakes!! Yeahhh 🫵🏻🤓💚 Keep it Terpy Twerps !! 💋

I’d thin them out, put some training clip in them, spread out that bush.💚

Have not grown autos yet that is my next run but would like to know a good run down on the best setup to start them going, and then going strong to produce as much as possible???

Outcross with haze and then backcross it and toss them outdoors. No need for autos indoors where you control day length.
