The Art of The Auto

i had a lowlife auto blueberry fem that didnt auto. i switched it to 12/12 on day 41 from seed. i had the same thoughts that lowlife was a good stable genetic company so i tried their auto great white shark and it autod fine.

I have been looking all over but cant seem to figure out what ICU's and ALF's are! Lol...Like what r there real names ect,thanks

ALF is short for amazon little fuck and ICU is intensive care unit. I think that is what I remember.
I figured I would pop in with a couple of picks of my ladies.

couple questions on autos. Just curious. Can you clone them? and they HAVE to have dark right? at least a couple hours? I dont grow autos, but if i knew how that might change. definitely interested. how tall can you get them?

Beautiful plants teflondummy,
Alot of nice buds already,they look happy for sure
Weird about the ALF and ICU,havent seen them anywhere so Im guessing there strickly
from an underground breeder or somthing,I here everyone everywhere talking about them but
I have yet to find them for sale anywhere,haha...

u can kinda clone from what iv rad but its defently noy worth it at all...
and the clones will be the same age as the plant ect,and people run 24hours of light all the time
and Iv seen some amazing looking autos under24 hours of light ect,Im going to go with 18/6 though cuz they do do stuff in the dark,lol

auto from pollinator seed bank sucks.
they came really white and small.
the seeds didnt look very good.
the seed did sprout but not auto.
i am on day 23 and out of 4
1 is about 3inch
1 at 8
and the other 2 are about 6
between 3 to 5 nodes. all grown in ther same set up.
now we just wait to see what happeneds.

now a off topic question.
i smoke just what i grow. now when i share with friends they all say home grown
how can i grow and harvest some that looks like i bought it from someone.
they also ask if i grew. i dont tell anybody but it seems everyone knows when they look at it.
after a while having the same looking type i think it gets suspicious.
i do grow diffrent species.

My two bushy plants are from schwag seed so i dont know if this will be relative.
But like they are both right at about 24 inches now and had 12/12/ ing for like 4 days when one morning i looked down and a chair was pressed against the timer and was pushing down from midnight to 4 in the morning adding 4 hours light to the dark. How long should i be expecting to wait to see sure signs of sex and that flowering is on its way

What are you growing with? light wize if your jsut using flouresents or cfls the buds will be to fluffy and can give a look that some people assume
its home grown because who in there right mind would do a HUGE grow with nothing but weak lights..
There for if you want a good looking harvest so that your friends wont suspect you in the slightest of go buy a 400wHps or bigger.
other then that jsut be happy your growing your own buds and when ur friends ask about home grown , just say "yeh its a buddys."
unless there REAL good friends dont let em know shit.

CFLs can produce rock hard bulb if you use enough of them in the right placement. I am not saying that better lights are not needed but you can work with them especially with autos. A big part of bud density is in the genetics as well.

oh i know teflon ive grown some pretty decent buds with cfl im jsut saying hes wanting some stuff that looks like he bought it, and the usual stuff u buy, well i kno i do anyways iss from bigger ops using 1000w hps on there crop,
i dont know why it makes a diffrence to his friends though if my buddys were sayin shit bout my budd id tell em to go get there own

btw nice scale got the same one
and sucks ur on xbox bro or i woulda said hitt me up on black ops lol

Height problems. Hi guys. GREAT THREAD. I am also a lover of auto. I am stuck with a dilema. I have a mini stealth closet that is only 100cm high. Every plant i have grown, even the lowryder, has quickly got out of hand. i am growing in nft system under a 250 Sodium bulb. I have even tried using a compact cfl during vegging to reduce height. Im learning LST but i keep seeing these awesome little xmas trees buds all over this spread. What am i doing wrong. I am using seeds as i cant clone auto. How do you get these awesome little bud bushes?They all seem to be in soil? im relatively new to this. using good nutes and boosting with bud candy. I am getting a closet full of branches with a low bud ratio despite topping and lst. Please help. Thanks!

i have a few auto ak girls growing at the moment sorry no camera lost it a few weeks ago but i can tell you its a nice plant with good side branching 4 strong and 2 4 more underneath, nice smell sweet cheesy smell. Flower Power from Barneys seeds is really nice its a kush auto mix and speeddevil 1 and speeddevil 2 from sweet seeds are great and very strong plants with quality bud.

From everything I have read, you shouldn't top auto-flowers. They don't have the veg time to create multiple colas. If you top, you are probably just killing your main cola and reducing your yield. I am no expert, but it is what I have read.

And I grow hempy style (passive hydro) -- I have found that it allows for a better yield with small space b/c the pot/bucket/cup can be smaller. Once you get decent with the pH/Nutes, you will notice more robust growth/yield. I have a tiny space (PC) and I just let my shit grow. The plants have hit the CFLs and they learn their lesson and start growing in the other direction. They hit the walls and the ceiling and keep on ticking. Having said that, I want to improve my laizze faire (sp?) method and learn how to LST on my next grow. I know I am hurting my yield.

I am not a heavy smoker, so one little auto can last me 3-5 months depending on whether my friends smoke it all. And it is better shit than we can buy. Street weed sucks.

Just got done with Lowlife Auto White Russian. It grew just like the pictures on the Internets (thanks, Al Gore). It is drying at the moment, so I cannot give a smoke report.

Flowered around day 21 even though it had some neglect. Dense nugs. Mine was pretty low odor, but I have read otherwise.

mine stinks and isnt flowering a little under 23 inches...wtf how tall was it when it started flowering and finished

How old is she? If she hasn't started flowering and is more than 4 weeks old you will need to flip her to 12/12 as you will have to force her to flower.

I am growing a Fem Auto Lowlife Blueberry

in the pic its almost 25 days old from sprout and its just so short but looks very healthy.
I made a post earlier and didn't know there was a great auto thread here so I am asking again on why this plant is so short for her age. I am using a 250 w feliz florescent
http://www.amazon.com/Feliz-Grow-Light-6500K-Reflector/dp/B003JJL8SW
you can see my light here.

I have it pretty close to the plant.

any help is appreciated as to why its so short. its in a 3 gal pot and watered and given nutes properly. its under 18/6 light.
could the light be to close?

sorry to ask again on this thread but its worrying me as these seeds are not cheap and i have a second one that just sprouted so i want to see if I can do better on her if I am making a mistake somewhere.

thanks for any help

Just watch her and if she doesn't show signs of flowering in a week or 2 you will have to flip her to 12/12... some autos only get about 14 inches but she looks great!
