Auto pots work great for everything. They only drink what they need and they are never over watered.I used Masterblend for all of my feedings. Simplicity!

[@billmonty69]

great show as always, just finished gdp auto , first time auto grow , turned out great , tasty, it is as good as most of what I have abought from dispensary.

I have been having a hard time popping and starting some of these $20 OG kush seeds from maphisto ethos etc, it's like one pack of three I might get one plant out of it hopefully not stunted, 5 pack maybe 2-3 keepers but I recently grew a fastbuds gorilla cookies from 1 pack that just exploded from the start and is a giant terpy monster so sadly I feel I'm giving up on og autos and try sticking to the perhaps more stable glue and cookies crosses I can't keep spending weeks popping crapshoot 15-20 dollar seeds

[@heatherward553]

This Dude i kno had same problem try putn seed in water like a glass sized 4 or 5 times bigger than a shot glass fill it 3/4 he uses r.o.water never touch seeds with hands use surgical gloves giv it bout 18hrs seed should sprout he says shoot will protroud half quarter inch or so plant in yur medium he say he went to 8 of 10 to 10 of 10 n never looked back keep n dark spot, temps high 60s lo 70s. Dont give up. Cuz wen u get going its awesum n this dude is bad ass he killing it

Im not new to growing, just new to Autos. A week ago i started 2 seeds. Royal Queen Seeds, Northern Lights and Royal Cookies. They were germinated in 1" rockwool cubes. Before the roots showed out the bottom, i planted them into 4 gallon Auto Pots. Ill be top watering for about 14 days till the roots grow deep enough. Im using Canna Terra for food when the time comes. Thank you for all the info you provide. Stay Green!

[@michaeladams2074]

how did this go!?

[@aaronwoodley9624]

Helpful comment

[@87mustang87]

Thought about cutting up some lettuce cellery spinich grinding them up an mixing with some dirt and try some autos would be my first grow possibly using some grow dots from the beginning of veg till the end of growing. This would be done outside.

[@WilliamArroyo-x4e]

Keep it up auto doctor

ThNks for the watering info!

[@pietromariamosca7594]

Hey man I just subscribed! I’ve been growing for a year in a 2x2 grow tent with the ts600 from marsh hydro. I keep 4 plants in 10L containers and i average 100g per harvest. Do you have any tips to get bigger yields? I was considering buying a new light, viparspectra xs1500 pro. Do the lens work to even out the ppfd? Thank you for all your work!

[@joew6271]

Good question, Im running 1200 watts in 2x600w ballasts and would like to know the same. Using a 4x4 tent with 2 x 600 watt viparspectra lights. I know they work excellent for veg. just unsure about flowering.

[@roberthoffman7130]

good info

[@MikeBiggzBoxing]

Can you set your light source 18 on 6 off only. Or can you do 12 on 12 off on an auto. Great info too

[@rubberknees]

Thanks, great video.

[@Mackeroni7]

Learned a lot and still learning! Question: Can you follow up on the watering topic a bit more? Specifically with Autoflowers in Coco/perlite mix, I look up when to water as seedlings/early veg but i get things saying let the coco dry and other things saying to never let coco dry

Question….how important is fresh air for weed plants? I have kids so I was going to try and grow in my small shed they never get into. But if I close the door not much fresh air is being circulated. Is just a fan sufficient or is fresh air circulating mandatory?

[@olijr8566]

🎉❤amen 🙏 tyvm for this info as I'm running photos and autos in 1st run so tyty

[@stefraivan]

I tried for the first time Auto flower seeds, from exotics seeds. I grew them outdoor with super soil. I’m very impressed by the result and that’s why I’m here : I want to learn more about autoflowers…

[@legacyAF]

Going to do my first run with 5 auto flowers next summer. I ordered 420 Fastbuds, Chem Dawg, and Six Shooter. As well as Red Kush from Royal Queen Seeds. I'm curious and hopeful.

[@stefraivan]

@@legacyAF good luck and good harvest to you !

[@sensibill1]

Ruderalis is a wild hemp that grows in europe that has very little psychoactivety. Used in making autoflowers because it is not dependant on light /dark ratio

[@soulseeker42388]

It also is not as dense of nugs either. Depends how it is breed

[@InnerCityOrganicz]

True also depends on where the Ruderalis is from. As there is some from Afghanistan that some breeders use as to the size of buds etc. Bout to cut down a Black Domina Auto soon from a local breeder that has been the best auto so far with amazing effects (already) and the densest nugs 🔥 for an auto I've ever grown, vigorous enough to thrive after super cropping and very resilient to pests & mould It's a shame it's only available in one country 😕 anyway next run I'm trying out the Afghan Ruderalis x with some modern exotic 🧬 so I'll aim to make a vid about it and share on yt 🙏

[@leslieafflick4650]

It's also natural to Australia........the bastard cannabis plant northern n.s.w. area

[@Babylon_Burning_Selections]

It was once used to make Autoflowers, and is still used *sometimes* to make an auto conversion. Autos used to be pretty low quality, due to this, but many breeders lines are now 25 and more generations removed from ruderalis. Please check out my grow off playlist, to see some quality gens

If in coco coir you can water all you want as long as you have a fabric pot and it isn’t sitting in a huge puddle. Water will deliver oxygen as long as watertemperature is under 68 degrees f

[@MikeMeyers-ls6dj]

Very informative thank you

For fun I am growing cannabonsai autos. On my book shelf. With 80w LED full spectrum.

[@moderator0439]

Great vids, i’ve learned so much but haven’t started growing yet.. but my question is.. If you add nutrients to the soil when you first plant the seed, do you need to also add nutrients to the water?

[@Wesmancan]

No. Don’t need nutes for seedlings at all. At least 2 weeks before anything but water. Welcome mang

Well, what do ya know? I made a playlist, & you just happen to be next after the show you did with Mr. Grow It.

In trying 2 auto 2 photo. In a 2x2😂 18/6 whole way untill autos finish... once there done, switch to 12/12 an clean up with a scrog and fill the canopy again. Best way to use autos imo

[@dvxShoeN]

So u give 2 Photos 10-11 weeks of veg Phase in a 2x2 ? Wtf.

Thank You!

[@porkoholic]

I grow outdoor in pots and use perlite, cocopeat and organic manure in equal parts as the medium. Where i live it rains a lot and the soil gets too wet and the plants can stay overwatered for days without proper sun. Will it be ok if i skip the cocopeat? Please suggest alternatives that hold less water.

[@LarsLarsen77]

I used to water coco 5 times a day indoors. It's fine.

[@mischalayoliver2201]

Move to a desert with very little rain but then youd have to water more 😂

Bigger pots should be helpful

[@taraohland6071]

First, I love your channel, thank you! What's your favorite Mephisto autoflower genetic and which genetic have you grown to produce the largest buds?

[@Firstimer420]

Amazon days are a coming next week? If you have been growing a year, you want more room, just the way it is. What would be a setup, 100% ,oscillating pole fans, no humidifiers, and what about the intake that brings fresh air to tent? Not into supercheap but dangit AC is sooo expensive.

Lots of different little bugs and critters in my rain collection drum. They wouldn't be a problem if they found there way into my pots when watering?

Long time grower, first time with auto-flower, using DWC... My plant is only 5 weeks old, 6" tall(after one topping) and Ive begun training. its already begun to start flowering. is there anything at all i can do to prolong vegetation in any way to increase my potential yield or am i at the mercy of the plant?

[@Hopinforpeaceonearth]

Great content as usual

Makes sense that Auto's have sturdier stems. Cannabis Ruderalis was always a Hemp/fiber plant until the last 3 decades, I believe..?!🤔

[@poprocksminneapolis]

Great Video

[@blindmisfit3777]

When growing auto flowers, outdoor and living soil, how much can I expect to yield per plant? I've been growing indoors inside of 3 x 3 with a TS 1000. I don't get a lot doing that. Four or five maybe 6 ounces. But outdoors the plants have room to grow and I feel I have the most potential to yield good results. So what could I expect?

[@JosephDouglas-s5b]

Awesome!

What happens when you cross an auto with a photo? Do they have traits of both?

When should i feed the molasse and seaweed? Im a new grower, thanks

Question: so my first Autoflower (pineapple kush cake) is in her 6th week, looking strong and healthy. Issue is, its very Elongated and almost reaching a meter high in length, and just slowly getting bushy. I just discovered that I could,ve LSTed it but im thinking now maybe I'm too late. Is it possible to LST at this stage or should I just let it be and do what she has to do?

[@EdSilvia1]

Great video Dr. Do you have a favorate auto strain?

[@gnawbabygnaw]

You can rent a PAR meter from a camera rental house. Rent for a one day and get all the info about your lights. Maybe $30 a day. Depending. Beats shelling out $600+.

What should my light schedule be and wattage for starting Autos indoors and then putting them Outdoors 3 weeks later?

[@YaaSalty...0_o]

I think it was back in 2015 or 2016 KZbin changed its algorithm up. It does not care about likes or subscribers.. not one bit. It's about total watch time how long you can keep your viewers engaged. Leaving a like might actually help the algorithm if the viewer has watched the entire length of the video and also commented. Because they're actually engaging with your content fully. There is zero reason to ask for likes or subscriptions anymore, unless you want to bother ppl. Just ask for viewers to leave a comment and stay until the end if they're interested. This helps way more. And if you don't believe me (ik who tf is this guy) just look up what other KZbinrs say on the topic. Lol 👍 a lot of KZbinrs have noticed if they get a high percentage of people who clicked off the video before finishing it their video gets promoted way less in the algorithm. Because it's not holding people's attention like other content will that gets promoted. Gl bud!
