Since I finally added autos into garden. I will be watching. Thinking triploids too. Why not. Why? Because I can!😅

[@Loki_Morningstar666]

I just saw the episode you did with Mr. Grow it on his podcast. I thought it was a really good episode. I think it's really cool seeing so many of the KZbin growers working together on different podcasts. It really helps it feel like a real community of growers working together and comparing there experiences. That's the way the cannabis industry should be instead of giant corporate behemoths that try to hide all their secrets. Keep up the good content!!!!

[@DrAutoflower]

Well said sir! I'll be starting my own podcasts soon, stay tuned!

[@Zardnokalicious]

Mephisto has a Secret Santa deal on December 13th at 3pm ET that is an amazing deal. If you want to get in on it, I recommend creating your account ahead of time and being ready when the counter hits 0 to refresh and add to your cart. I expect them to sell out in about 10 minutes, so be ready. Three different bundles that will set you up for a while on seeds. Only bad thing is the packs are random, so you don't get to chose what you want. Still though, for this quality of genetics, it is well worth the price and who knows, maybe you find a new favorite strain you never would have tried otherwise.

[@JohnKingston-dw9ys]

Lot of what you said made sense. I'm new to growing and decided to start off with autoflowers, bought first seeds off a grower at a hydro shop, most sprouted nine kinds of funky but one sprouted nicely. I've got seeds on the way from a reputable seedbank, lesson learned.

[@mariannerayo8608]

I am a novice grower (outdoors). I've always wondered on autoflowers if it says 60-70 days, is that from sprout to harvest or sprout to flower. Seems like you answered the question here (sprout to harvest). Thank you.

Hey dude, do you generally prefer a 20/4 cycle for autos or a 24/0 cycle, or do you mix like 24 in veg an switch to 20/4 for flower? Also do you think different ligh schedules are strain specific within auto breedes? Thanks for the top quality real genuine content, keep up the good work!

[@jcallesano]

My 2 plants are approaching their 4th week of flower. Healthy as can be. When I feed, they thrive, but I want more. How do I know if I can up the nutrients or not? I feel I am slowly adding a little more nutes each feeding and noticing zero side effects each time. The only time I saw a small and slight leaf tip burn was when I flushed with florakleen and feed bloom nutes immediately after the flush. I didn't want them sitting with flushed soil and nothing to eat. It recovered within 4 days though. Using ALL Biobizz nutrients. Using small amounts of Grow still, full bloom, full bio heaven, full fishsh!t. Half gallon each is what the 3 gallon pots will take before a little run off. ✌

[@torrencekrepps757]

If they are hermi it might be due to light leaks or a light that is on in your tent coming from your humidifier or fans 😉 the lights from your switches will hemi the plants 🪴

[@GrowShack-Kev]

Quick question. I got a budget grow going with DIY LED lighting. My question is about spectrum. My light spectrum consist of. 60 watts 5000k, 20 watts 4200k, 90 watts 3500k, 35 watts 3000k, 40 watts 2700k, and I also use a 150 watt quartz halogen bulb that is listed at 2400k. Is this an acceptable spectrum for my autos.im a huge fan and greatly value your opinionsorry about the email

Am feeding my super silver haze girls while watching this to the question with advanced nutrients its best not to stray from their recommendations, on their website you can print a week by week feed schedule in both metric and standard depending on where you are from or your feeding regime

[@captain7767]

Hey Doctor. Thanks for the info. Many times seeds germinate, grow one inch n don’t go any further. It has happened with different strains from different suppliers. Using enriched built and when a plant wants to grow, they grow very well I am trying to have six auto flowers all take off at the same time so that I can grow them all the same way in canopy on everything elsewhere. No, you understand that but I’m having a hell of a time to get six to take off at once for the problem, I said the sea germinates I planted and just doesn’t pop through the soil that’s pretty rare but this thing of popping through the soil looks nice and strong, but it only gets an inch high and doesn’t go anymore. I’ve even had the one in Chai and just left them there to see if anything would happen and they went into flower with one in Chai and gave me one micro nugget.

[@shaycanning9099]

Think I heard you say u have or use advanced nutrient brand. In your experience. What is the max ph water you have used for the mix? I use bottled mineral water. Ph is listed as 7. Growing in coco coir. Ph perfect nutrients.

Hey Doc, love your channel. Great info. My question is, I have a bagseed plant that's been vegging under 18/6 with my autos for 3 months. Other day I looked and saw pistils all over and it's definitely flowering. Do you think it could have some auto genetics? I remember that you had a similar experience before. My other photos are not flowering btw.

I have a question I’ve heard some people running auto flowers in a super soil… i’ve never done it but thought I would ask you how long do you think this recipe would last in a 5 gallon cloth mixed in the soil that I’m putting together Pete moss, with extra pearl light, Coco loco,, bat guano, seabird guano, oyster shell, crab meal, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, rock phosphate, Azomite Fish bone meal, worm castings, and for the very top A good dusting of mycorrhiza? Found this recipe just wondering how long with the mixer last until have to give it a bloom booster or some other fertilizer? Or a organic aerated tea??? It never did specify, super soil recipes I found let me confused when it or they,needed something extra…? I’m very new I’m also handicap and trying to better myself, and in growing techniques,, plus trying to get my medicine…, to grow properly, And definitely genetics is everything but also it depends what you feed your plants to get the right flavor and Terps Plus those Nice sides hard nuggets… without stunting or damaging your plants… anyway if you have information about a super soil running auto flowers… sort of like this one… information on how the soil would last would be great :-) this would be cool thank you very much from a blind person…😎

Should I increase my light intensity as my auto flowers switch to flower? They’ve been at 75% intensity for the first 7 weeks and they’re starting the budding phase now. Should I switch it to 100%?

[@GrowersUnitedTogether]

Great video. Do you recommend changing the light cycle from 18-6 to a 12-12 for Autos? We have different stages of Autos and want to put a photo in the same tent and flip it to flower. Thank you

[@DrAutoflower]

Thanks! The only time you would ever put autos on 12/12 light is 1. Your Autoflowers are not fully autoflowering due to bad genetics or 2. Like your situation and you want to flower Photoperiods, it can be done they just won't produce as well as they could. Shouldn't be a huge decrease in yield so I'd say go for it.

[@ScottSolda]

A couple of days ago, shortly before planting my seedlings, I filled my 5-gallon tall bags with soil (Purple Cows Crafter Mix) and was surprised at how little soil it took to fill the bag. I noticed that when I lifted the bags by a few inches and dropped them back on the ground, it packed the soil by a little bit and I was able to add more. Thinking that "more was better", I settled the soil this way for all 9 bags and was probably able to add 25-30% more in each. As I said, I am using soil bags for more air exchange and have added a couple of quarts of perlite to the mixture, but am I going to have problems with soil that is too packed? If so, what problems can I expect and what should I pre-emptively do about it? A have auto-grows and would rather not go through the process of transplanting. Thank you, in advance, for your wisdom!

[@gnawbabygnaw]

Cannabis does like airy dirt. I’d be careful packing it too much. Looks like your comment was four months ago. How did it go?

[@artinstaller4393]

After 4 days, the seedlings did not make an appearance so I dug them up, and added a few quarts of perlite. I replanted the seedlings in a small mounds since the stems weren't thick enough to hold up the seed husks. But with the proper care and a few sleepless nights, all survived. I LST'd them very close to the ground and they took on a bonzai appearances. After 16 weeks, the trichomes indicated it was time to harvest. They're curing now. Each girl produced about an ounce. I learned much. Mostly that it's easier to buy a bag from my dealer. @@gnawbabygnaw
