Autos have the potential to be bigger yeilders than photos.

So you noticed a difference using silica from the same clones you grew last round not using silica?

Exactly.

Figured so. Thanks for the speedy reply

Hi guys, new grower here

I don’t use silica and my plants have a stalk and branches. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes you're only feeding once a day.

Plus we're talking about cannabis, not celery.

 

[bk78]

Yes you're only feeding once a day.

Noted. Should I be at 6-7 times a day?

Yes with a flush in-between the middle of them. Buy one of those flushing products like sledgehammer. Knocks the shit right out of those plants.

Im going to try this great technique from @stashpot


stop feeding them let them dry up to bonedry will signal time to die.. then just feed water nothing else another 2 or so weeks last 2 days leave in dark.

Actually I’m just going to leave them in the dark until they are ready to harvest. Thanks for the help guys

I don't know how "commercial" growers even consider autos. I don't really discriminate, auto buds usually look good, plants look sweet always. But I've yet to smoke an auto that even comes close in potency and effect as a photo. That's just been my experience.

Also I tried growing a few different autos and they were all wildly different heights some were 4ft some were 1ft same bag of seeds all got the same feed. Like how are you supposed to have a decent grow with a ton plants at different heights.


On the Silica thing. Vermiculite gives silica into the soil. Thx DR Bruce Bugsby for that one.

There are quite a few autos out there testing over 20% THC. The breeders have a big market for them so there's a lot of time and effort being put into bringing them on par with photos. I'm running a strain atm that's said to be 28% THC with 2% CBD.

The pheno stability comes down to the breeder. Fast buds are hit n miss but Ethos is a step above.
