    I think that guy was taking the piss. It won't make your buds sweeter.

    How much water?

    They are Autos, whilst you can transplant an Auto it is best practice not to. Autos should either be germinated in a Jiffy Plug or similar and put in their final pot before the roots breakout of the plug. Or, germinated in their final pot.

    First ever grow and would love some constructive criticism and advise!

    They are Autos. They should be between 18/6 and 24/0 not 12/12. I am quite new to Autos and have sought the advice of others and the consensus is that Autos require less nutes than Photos. Mine are in a peat based off the shelf soil called Jack's Magic, the sort of stuff you'd use for general...

    TIPS AND TRiCKs OF THE TRADE? WELCOMING EXPERIENCED GROWERS FOR ADVICE.

    Totally this. I am guilty of overwatering. I have always be too worried about underwatering. I have learned self control and have learned to leave them another day. My tip is to take some time to just sit and look at the plants, you'll be surprised what you see. The subtle changes each day...

    I have a mate that does that. TBH his weed is very nice. I have never tried and never will I use old coffee jars lined with manilla paper.

    Good short auto.

    You can. Although Autos seem to respond very well to basic LST without topping. A am trying White Label "White Skunk" from Sensi Seeds at the moment and it is very compact.

    Top buds drying out in flush

    Pictures might help here. But I agree with the opinion that flushing is for toilets, it'll do more harm than good.

    Plasma lights the next step forward

    We will have the vaccine. They will only have enough to do 800,000 in the first instance. We have a long way to go yet and the anit-vaxxer pond life hasn't started up yet.

    Soil is ready. But there’s aphids!!!

    If you are just using water Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) mix at a ratio of 1 part Hydrogen Peroxide to 4 parts water works well as a drench to kill the eggs/larvae.

    Soil is ready. But there’s aphids!!!

    Perlite, rather than sand. I had fungus gnats recently and this wiped them out. Sticky traps dealt with the flyers. I have also discovered that a few doses of carbonated water seems to kill off the larvae.

    How do you deal with fungus gnats?

    I used Perlite, it worked too.

    Craziest places you have found weed...

    Being a publican you used to find it all the time. Once found it blocking the glass washer. I also found an ounce bag of really decent weed on Glastonbury Tor.

    I have been growing for over 20 years. The very concept of flushing is total Bro Science. It has no basis in science and goes against all common horticultural practice. I believe the phrase on these forums is "Flushing is for Toilets".

    Autos in FFOF.

    That is just sloppy practice. To achieve a perfect grow, of any plant, in artificial conditions you have to stay on your game. As soon as you take your eye of the ball, you'll drop it and always be playing catch up from that point forward.

    Autos in FFOF.

    I started my Autos in Jiffys, once the leaves have popped up I put the Jiffy straight in a 2 Imperial Gallon pot with a dash of Mycorrhizal Fungi a the bottom of the hole so the roots make direct contact with it when they break out of the jiffy. This is not really transplanting. Transplanting...
