#autoflowers
start with a 4x2x6 grow tent, 1 1200w dimmable light full freg w/ uv & ir amazon $100, 5 gallon pot per plant try 2 plants, Herbies USA for seeds. Autoflowers are easier, quality soil like happy frog or ocean forrest and add worm castings.

Most people think autoflowers are just "easy" plants.
But for me? They changed everything because they made the garden accessible when my life wasn't.

Autoflowers stripped away the gatekeeping.
Just a seed, some soil, and a clock that starts the moment they hit the dirt.

autoflowers are magic for outdoors

Today was harvest day for the first autoflower I’ve ever grown. I’m not sure how I feel about autoflowers yet, but I already have a load of seeds to try. 😀

Autoflowers aren’t ‘beginner plants.’ They just punish mistakes faster! #throwback

Best thing i ever did was pay $500 like 5 years ago to join ethos genetics seed club. The price has since gone up but I get atleast 100 femanized seeds a year. That is not counting any autoflowers or m/f ones. Such a great deal and I will be growing for years to come. The investment has paid me back

My wife has taken over our cannabis farm now that it is legal.

She has a green thumb.

Experiment time, she harvested 100 grams from 5 autoflowers- which is the legal limit on bud we can have between the 2 of us in the house.

Now we're going to do 6 originals to see if there's a difference.

taking shoots to clones, CLEAN diagonal slice with CLEAN razorblade & pop immediately into water. no fancy shit, just don't get an air bubble in the stem at the slice. GREAT way to make use of suckers at the nodes, too. don't think it would be different with autoflowers it even works on a fan leaves

I know plenty of people advise to direct plant in final pots, especially with autoflowers, but when I tried that I had a rotten run of losing seeds. I've been more successful starting them in the pucks and then transplanting the entire puck. I will move this one into the final pot soon.

Did you just let that tall lady grow as is ? No topping, fiming or LST? Looks very impressive.

I've tried just letting them grow with some autoflowers, but have not got anything close to that height or robustness.

Autoflowers, so after 3-4 weeks they flip from veg to flower on their own. A mix of coco and some reused soil and in fabric pots set on self-watering bases.

I have a tent and it has made things easier in terms of controlling light, temp and humidity. I usually buy feminized or autoflowers from seed banks. Those are fail proof.

It also requires work and dedication, it is a fun pastime specifically if you live in place that don't allow dispensaries.

Simply put. Around the 30 day mark the autoflowers begin their end-of-life flowering stage no matter the light cycle, whereas standard photo period plants require a light hours change to begin theirs from the vegetative state. Hope that makes sense.

Autoflowers are a different type of cannabis that evolved in areas where the growing season was very short. As a result, these plants automatically flower after a certain number of days.

The other type is called photoperiod.

Build-a-Soil is a great resource, they have a ton of great products. I'd imagine 15gal would be overkill for autoflowers though, given their short lifecycle. I've always run them in 5gal pots, seen plenty running in 3gals as well. Tent size might also be a limiting factor here.

Yeah, I love the Old School stuff but with the plant limits in Illinois, the autoflowers give me the chance at a lot of variety in my hobby closet. (I can't risk growing above the limit lest I lose my legal license, lmao).

Good Friday morning Smokin' Buddies! How was your holiday?

It's watering day for our Purple Punch & Gorilla Z autoflowers today! They both got a full gallon!

Our Community Grow Story replacement, Widowed Grandpa, has already made more progress too!!!

They are actually all autoflowers! The one in the front is Tennessee Honeymoon (Mephisto Genetics). I like the quick auto grow window since, in Illinois, we are limited to five plants at a time and my neighbor and I like variety during our evening vaping session. I love the singing!

Can't wait to see, how she reacts to your training (once she can handle it).

I only ever had 2 autoflowers .. one didn't get enough sun on my balcony (about 4h per day, there .. it wasn't enough for her).

And the other was my first one, when I only had a 36W light - not even a tent or nutrients.

Not really much option for outdoor here except autoflowers. We’re already down to 8 hrs light a day and the ground is freezing. We can’t plant outdoors until the end of May. I use tents in my heated garage.
