Auto Flowering

I have been reading about these auto flowering seeds recently. And Ive never used one or anything of that sort. I was planning on getting some. But I don't know exactly what to do.I know its breed specific. I know to prob keep light on 16:8 ratio. But do I just start feeding it bloom after about 2 weeks. Some one with exp. help.

they are genetically set to bloom at a certain stage of groth regardless of light cycle i would keep under the veg light schedule and feed veg nutes until it goes into flowering then switch to a flowering nute

So basically the plant will tell me when to feed it flowering nutes. Just kinda gotta watch em. So should i start 24:0 than to 12:12?

thats up to your personal preference the last auto flower ,the only one was grown outside last year...good luck

Auto flowering plants should be grown with a 20/4 light cycle. The nutes depend on the strain your getting. Some auto flowering plants really dont like being fertilized.

So your saying feed them veg nutes all the way through??? No fertilizer at all.

Here is a link to the Official Lowryder grow guide written by the Joint Doctor who is the creator of Lowryder. http://www.420source.com/post/207 Even if you don't get a Lowryder X strain, it's still good knowledge as far as nutrients goes. Autoflowering strains don't like too many nutrients so take a look at it. I have been growing Lowryders 2's over a year now and I love it because you don't have to wait as long to find out what the sex is, and since you don't have to change the light schedule you can add young ones with the older ones and constantly have fresh buds. I know you can do this with cloning, but I don't have the room to keep a mother and clones and flowering plants.

Autoflowering plants are great. I'm finishing my Lowlife Auto AK47 with a second batch a month behind. I grow them HPS the whole time. I use FoxFarm soil ferts. Veg nutes for the first couple weeks, then flower nutes to the end. This strain has had no problems with over fertting. I started at 1 1/2 weeks with half strength, no problems. Next feed was full strength, they love it. Can't seem to give them enough. I keep lights on 18/6 the whole way through. I've tried 20/4 but it does not make much difference. If you want to view an inspirational grow using this strain check this out: http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27951. Simply amazing. He's pulling 3 ounces off some of his bigger plants. These have been the easisest plants to grow and they are looky VERY tasty. Chopping next week.

Aren't FoxFarm nutes organic?

Not entirely. Only the Big Bloom part is (castings and what not). The other two have chemicals ferts in them.

I asked because with organic nutrients it harder to overfertilize, and they won't burn your plants either. I use Earth Juice nutrients which are all organic.

damn thanks for those two links!! enjoyed readin the joint doctors advice
