WHY & HOW To Grow Auto Flowering Plants Successfully! (Garden Talk #49)

[@GardenTalkwithMrGrowIt]

Thanks to Tourette Grower for coming onto the podcast today! Chad’s KZbin channel- bit.ly/3rJe0RP Podcast episode he did with me- kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZXNfoeFqb19h9k Autoflower podcast- bit.ly/32pd8Jm

As always, amazing guests with an amazing host. If you shop on ebay in Europe, I got my CO2 monitor for less than 10 bucks. I can't speak for the whole of Europe, but in the UK they're a necessity of any rented accommodation, many other building types will need them for Insurance purposes etc, so we have thousands of options for CO2 monitors. Mine has co2, rh, and temp and can be hooked up to my phone.

Often overlooked but not having to worry about light leaks with autos is a god send for those not growing in tents

[@Chris-Hill]

Just need to cover windows, in grow room.

[@archiebf4524]

@@Chris-Hill not everyone has the luxury of dedicating a room in their house to growing

[@Chris-Hill]

What does that have to do with blacking out the room. They make black out curtains, that look nice and match room in color. Most people hang curtains over windows. Really it just comes down to how dedicated one wants to be and how they want to grow. Either way will work and is fine, i was just giving a opinion on how to grow photos, or the light leak issue. Growing autos vs photos you use the same material same amount of energy same cost, time and effort but you grow less weed. Grow 4 plants you lose around 12 ounces auto vs photo. Grow 5 that's a pound lost round about doing the same exact thing. Which probably doesn't matter to you but that's another reason I gave advise on light leaks. I grow autos as well 8 to 12 plants at a time, outdoors tho perpetually, so I'm not trying to knock autos or what you do. Again just thought I could help you grow more, without changing anything but the kind of seed grown.

[@archiebf4524]

@@Chris-Hill I don't really see what's hard to follow here, unless you have a dedicated grow room it's very hard to keep the dark times dark consistently for 12 hours in flower. I'll also remind you the majority of the world is still in prohibition and if you lived there and didn't have a dedicated grow room you'd likely turn to converting a wardrobe/closet etc. for stealth purposes which are even harder to keep dark consistently for 12 hours straight for 8-12 weeks. Hence autos as the light leaks really don't matter, for the record I do both

[@Chris-Hill]

@@archiebf4524 dude you're a smart ass lol you can grow in your living room with a tent or makeshift tent hell throw a blanket over them like a bird cage. If you're worried about your living room light being on you have the bottom open vent up against the wall. You're over thinking things thinking you got it all figured out sounding like a new buddy. Closet's aren't hard I use 2 and 3 tents plus outdoors. My apologies for commenting on your public post, with intentions of throwing some information your way.

[@barneymiller4088]

I listen to people who are trying to grow on the cheap, but they go out and pay $25-$50 per bucket (+6 for the bucket) on organic soil and then not reuse that soil. I grow DWC and I paid about $20 to setup each bucket (with some LECA and rock wool) and another $5 for nutrients per bucket per plant. Only the nutrients aren’t reusable. DWC also results in vastly larger plants.

[@petermyers479]

I love worm castings mixed about 50/50 w potting soil. Then I add about 25% of that amount in perlite. It works as long as you feed it. Worm castings last throughout almost all of the veg stage with autos. As soon as bloom sites appear, I start watering deeply weekly with fish emulsion and kelp.

[@crippledcannabiscowboy8925]

I'm about to start. Never did it before. All set up and have some photos going already. Getting another tent with all the amenities just for autos. So curious. I've learned so much from this channel man thank you so much

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Good luck! I think Earthboxes would be perfect for growing autos and they're good for beginners because you water from below and water wicks up into the soil, so it's wetter below and dry on the surface. That eliminates a lot of fungus gnats and other bugs. I live mine but I haven't tried autos in them. Yet. They're great for small to medium size photos too.

[@anti-popfpv4638]

It's true they require less nutes and can be stunted. Organic seems to be the way. Just harvested from my first organic bed and it's beautiful. Super easy if you get blumat water system.

[@bastiat691]

If you want to start in a smaller container I recommend using one made out of coco, that way you dont have to take them out of it to transplant, you just put them into the final pot and the roots will reach out through the coco. Also, just wanted to say, you seem like some very kind people :)

[@MrKush815]

This is what I do wit my photo plants.. I start in rapid rooters and then put them into either the coco pots or the cardboard ones and then from there I go up in pots sizes, but I definitely plan on using the same technique for auto's on my next run but I'll probably just put the rapid rooters directly into either 5 or 7 gallon fabric pots

[@ThePokeBellz]

I was actually just wondering if I could do that exact thing to "transplant" my autos. I've got like 20 coco coir cups so I'm definitely gunna give that a try!

I have been running all autos since January of this year, I am going into my 3rd auto harvest this year and the first two I used 100% ocean forest soil amended with down to earth organic amendments as well as top dressed and I have never had any issues with my soil being too hot for the autos that I have grown. I am currently using strawberry fields on this 3rd run have been having great results as well. As a person who has lots of growing under my belt I find the autoflower movement to be a breath of fresh air so to speak. In other words I’m just enjoying learning new things about this absolutely wonderful plant.

[@Phonophobia]

23:00 I think Daz from Mephisto touched on that in the DarkHorse Podcast. IIRC he said if the tap root hits the bottom and starts forming outwards from there the flower cycle is triggered so it's better to transplant a little prematurely than too late or if you are not sure, just start in the finishing container to be safe.

Great show! Chad is just another artist in this awesome grow family! I love how well this medicine works for him and the way he has to always try new things with his grows. I don't really like autos much! I haven't grown too many, mostly to fit in a spot. I like them better outdoors! As far as style of grow with autos, I LST them, tie them down to the side of a 5 gallon cloth pot. I take them as far as they will go around the pot. If it reaches it's self that is the only time I'll top it, if the colas stretch out enough I LST those too and have even lollypoppped those colas if they stretch too much. Results in a sizable harvest and dense nuggets. Peace!

[@avicunningham1969]

When Chris was talking about the wide tolerance range of autos I think it comes back to the dominant ruderalis gene that’s responsible for the flowering regardless of light schedule because it geographically belongs to mountainous regions where light and generous grow conditions are much less reliable or available

I did my first indoor auto grow just recently. My plants were in 3 gal containers in hp promix ammended with down to earth nutrients. I did not have a ph meter and I was giving the plants tap water. My yield was extremely lack luster despite having beautiful and sticky flowers. I averaged 14g dried and trimmed per plant. I bought a ph meter for this next grow and it turns out my tap water runs at 8.9. I'm planning on using a tiny amount of lemon juice to lower it to 6.0-6.5 range. I'm actually glad that my ph was so off because it explains my small yield.

[@Chris-Hill]

if you use quality soil and dry amendments you won't need to ph. I run autos perpetually outdoors 9 to 12 plants at a time. I'll water with the garden house with a boogie blue filter over 9ph. I'll use a blue lab soil pen to check periodically. start in smaller pots that also helps extend food supply. liquid nutrients and dry amendments are used differently. nutrients are absorbed between 6.3-6.7 mostly. liquid nutrients are readily available to plants so they must be ph for uptake. dry amendments don't feed plants they feed microbes in the rhizosphere. those microbes do well at phing their environment. my autos get transplanted at week 3 from pots half the size of solo cups into 5 gallon pots. I'll feed a month after they've been in the 5 gallons then maybe one more time 3 weeks later depending on flower stage. personally I use happy frog and ocean forest

[@dmo848]

Advanced nutrients ph perfect will take care of that.

[@Loooooooooooooooool]

@@dmo848 I've since refined my setup and have had multiple 100+ gram harvests from autoflowers in the same 3 gallon fabric pots. I believe my issue at the time was under watering during the seedling phase, they got stunted and never really had the chance to increase in size. I did a run with the full stack of Advanced nutrients and it was very successful. I did find it to be very pricey and the individual mixing of each bottle was very time consuming. I've switched to a nutrient line called Cronk Nutrients. I got a great deal and the results have been just as good as the Advance Nutrients. Currently im testing a silicon supplement called mono-silicic acid from a company called grow genius. Its all about learning and refining your setup.

I run autos perpetually outdoors 9 to 12 plants at a time. I start everything indoors in pots half the size of solo cups, transplant week 3. invest in a automated watering system, if lack of time to water seems to be an issue. that's the main problem imo with beginners and plants. I'd never suggest starting with autos, if you mess up the littlest bit that could hinder the entire grow.

[@roccosgrows]

@Chris Hill I start all my autos in solo cups too. But if you let it start to wrap around the bottom its gonna flower. But yeah watering issues are alot of problems for autos too

[@Chris-Hill]

@@roccosgrows I disagree mine don't flower just because the small pot is full of roots. They flower around day 30 regardless, some sooner some later generally around day 30. As mentioned my starter pots are half the size of solo cups. Around 36 autos I grow a year never has that been an issue, 4 to 6 ozs a plant.

@Chris Hill what medium? And do you feed nutrient?

[@gooddogtrainingservices5351]

23:28 The first thing it does is determine how big the container it’s in. As soon as it hits an edge it says OK that’s all I got and it will trigger the flower because it knows it can’t keep growing its roots. In a photo this is great because then when you transplant it springs or jump starts because it is ready in an auto it is already decided it’s done and Time to start dying

[@zipyaplebuns7732]

It seems very counter productive to use most dry organic amendments in pots, By the time these ingredients are just starting to be broken down and available to the plant you've already harvested and smoked that batch. I think you would be shocked if you knew how long these ingredients actually take to be available. In most horticultural applications these organic amendments are added to the soil in the fall after harvest just so they can be available in the soil the following summer.

I'm about to start my first grow. Could you suggest nutrients that are good for autos?

[@zipyaplebuns7732]

Sorry I didn't see your reply. I hope your grow is going well. I only have experience with liquid organic nutes which are actually available to the plants. I would run nectar for the gods for my first grow, they produce very high quality easy to use nutes. I would use gia mainia for veg then i would switch to medusas magic, herculean harvest and olympus up for my flowering cycle very simple and you don't have too worry about your water ph because the olympus up will keep your soils ph in check by neutralizing the acidity in your soil. Best of luck to ya. @@Bigbilly-ms9bn

Dont do autos imo they r never better than a 6\10 even average regular photoperiods are way better but thers a good chance that every few seeds youl get a super pheno a true 10\10 too and youl definitely get multiple others that are very close just not quite perfect.. With autos youl never get even close they r diluted genetics they have improved but still are far from good, worse quality lower yield and more difficult to do successfuly.. They claim to be faster too but you cannot force it to finish by doing 12 12 from seed so ime they were slower! Only reason id ever want em is for in a rush and they evem failed at that lol! Id recommend getting GH cheese and lemon skunk from greenhouse seedco then using canna A+B at 4ml per litre of regular tap water with 4ml lemon juice per L to correct Ph (best use a ph measurer but if u dont have then these measures will work just fine) use their own coco too professional plus if you can get it if not try get a decent pre buffered coco that is genuinely all you need i promise youd be amazed at the results too.. Lot of dodgy seed sellers about and a good breeder with good genetics is 95% of the battle won already thats why id strongly suggest lemon skunk and GH cheese from greenhouse seed co because they are both fully legit and stable strains they arent going to give you a totally random pheno every time (this actually went without saying until recent years! lol) a seed should be stable to deserve its name imo but yeah recently its been played off as 'pheno variety' rather than called out for the bad breeding it is.. Hope this helps, keep it simple and then next time youl be able to decide if the extras are even worth it like do they change it much? They dont make lots of difference tbh, u can try adding a PK halfway thru flower but it must be timed right and the improvement youl see isnt huge just a few %... Id recommend canna bost but it is very expensive so any alternative might be better for you youd want to look for 'triacontanol boosters' or 'seed sprout tea' or 'alfalfa tea' all versions of the same thing basically speeds up its metabolism that is about all you need though to be perfect and tbh the difference from perfect to just using canna A+B on its own isnt huge its mostly to do with genetics and strength of light.. The food can be almost any ol stuff rly and good genetics and light/heat will be the main factor.. Best of luck man id say shogun sumo boost is a fairly decent alternative boost for cheaper too afaik they are all just triacontanol but youd be surprised how good the bud is just with canna coco A+B on its own, the improvement as you add stuff is minimal.. Green planets 'Rezin' seems to help make more oils and lasts ages so is worth it imo.. Iv heard that best thing any indoor grower can do is buy a UVB tube, supposedly just an hour or 2 a day is enough to boost the oils resins terpenes and thc massively.. Iv not seen this myself yet but i do believe it to be true, LED uv isnt quite ready yet though so stick to the 'migro tubes' can get a uvb tube for the price of a pk boost, canna boost and rezin so id say grab the uvb tube first then add 1 additive at a time after that so that way you can track its effects and decide if you see worthwhile improvement to keep buying the additives :) i say pk boost, rezin, triacontanol/cannaBoost is about everything youd ever need altho just canna A+B will get you a banging harvest it really will lol.. Hope it goes well dude ✌❤👍@@Bigbilly-ms9bn
