The Art of The Auto

I'm hoping mossys and FD will accept the newbie into their Autoholic Anonymous discussion, lol.

Hopefully I'll learn enough from you guys about breeding to start giving it a shot. I'd kill for an autoflowering LSD strain. My buddy has been farming Barney's LSD for a while in his whole room setup and it is by far the best meds I've found. I think it's Mazar x a citrus-y Skunk#1 pheno

Could I try breeding a Skunk#1 with PJ to achieve this guys? Isn't PJ an f7 mazar x lr2?

Welcome to the thread Dale. Just ignore the guys trying to troll. We get those about once a week in here, I guess they are out of meds and are bored or something.

hi people, just about to start my first grow (been a dream for 10 years, really excited) this thread has got me thinking of keeping to auto's due to a small space. I have 3 seeds all auto and hoping i could get some info/pics/possible yield etc they are-
afghan kush
big buddha
deimos

Thanx FD and Mossy for the pics the alf#3 and O guns. the Alf#3 looks very nice as in hard nugs i hate airy nugs dont know why just do lol...

is easy rider an auto?

all 3 are auto's... first pic is a blue himalaya female at 17 days. 2nd pic is a ak48 female at 22 days and the 3rd is a pakistan ryder at 25 days. All are in FFOF soil and 400 watt hps. have been giving them big bloom and molasses and also just started the pakistan ryder on tiger bloom as well for the first time a few days ago mixed with the big bloom and all our responding well to nutes. The ak48 got a lil too close to the lights and the leaves curled a lil but its all good now. Dont know why there is such a difference between the size of 2 and 3, they are only a few days apart, i have not done anything different as far as feeding or watering or lighting...ak48 must be a slow developer, it has been growin around a 1/2 inch a day the last few days, may just develop slower, i guess...?... Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks and happy growing to all......

Dude you are more than welcome here, here to share and learn really
Im pretty sure that i eventually will learn something from you and thats what its all about

as far as breeding goes mossy is your man, several generations of autos under the belt
if you've been lurking im sure you've seen and is more than willing to teach
Im still learning on this one my self trying to get it down a little better and
Ill try my best to answer your soil and water questions.

as far as the breeding goes anything is possible
its just the fact of how much work and dedication you want to put into it
you treat them like gold and they'll reward you,

G/L and welcome to the thread

Hi, I've got two Easy Riders and one Hindu Kush growing (see my signature below for a link to the thread). These three are autos, they are damn cute little girls.
I've definitely learnt a lot from these first grows (last time I grew anything was probably sprouts in primary school).
You'll benefit from my mistakes if you follow the thread, I've tried to document pertinent detail and gotten some really good feed back from a few experienced growers.
Cheers,

Yarndi.

Guys, sorry about posting the same thing over and over again, I wasn't sure of what I was doing.

Yarndi.

Okay, I grew out a single Low Ryder #2 and it never seemed to get big. I harvested it last month and it is now cured. The cured weight from the single small plant is 7 grams, so a 1/4 ounce. Remember, this is dried weight so I think that it did okay. It was before I set out to grow one out correctly. I did fire another off about 3 weeks ago, but it turned out male. That plant DID get big (about 10" tall), so I think I did it right. Now if I can just get the same grow characteristics with a female, I will be happy!

i have a slight concern on the blue himalaya the one in the first pic. It looks like you have a lock out issue going on there.
My first question is what is the pH of the water you are using and are you checking the pH after you add nutes?
They will change the ph of the water and over time cause build ups as well as lock out. Check it out and let me know.
Im gonna say that you have a low soil ph going on there and locking out Mg.

The rest look great and lush, keep doing what your doing to them.
On the first one get a reading of the run off and let me know what the ph is

I have a relatively small area to grow in and i cant decide on what size pot to plant my AFs in. I know i should have 2 gallons for root space but a 7 1/2' tall pot would eat up a lot of space. Any suggestions?

I Think he has the AF Forum in his own thread....

Its insane really and you guys are right it grows 4 pages a day

I guess what a better place than here. If they haven't given us a place yet
well just keep doing what we do best

Its all the guys out there that have made it what it is.
Good company and good vibes say the rest.
My goal was to give autos and there info
a home, they have one, until of course they give us a sub forum
then we can break it up in to categories to make things easy to find.

Seems that more and more guys that are growing autos
are coming out of hiding each day.

now ill smoke one to that

You could always use the raised transplant method, how much head room are we talking.
If low space there are a few ways to get decent yields out of little pots

I agree, you should start a thread dedicated to this so that people have options, it might even become a sticky!

Quick question: so if I am growing an auto I can keep the lighting at 18/6 for the entire grow and part way through just add a few seedlings in with the plants I have Been growing so that I have plants in different phases harvesting every month. Is that accurate. Strain:shortryders and lowryders please let me know if I'm on the right track.
