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

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Great episode!

[@M.S.Fitness]

The audio sounded a little low IMO

[@MrPablo1uk]

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.

Be careful. People are so mean lol. I’ve made two videos and both got crapped all over, even though they were done well. So if you have a strong tolerance for criticism then I guess.

[@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.

[@jbl7092]

One trip to an overpriced dispensary convinced me to start growing my own. My first grow of autoflowers had yellowed, brown leaves toward the end but still produced bud. However I don't know where I went wrong. Too little nutrients? Too much? 3 gal pot? 5 gal pot? Too much light? (LED) Not enough?Ph problems? Wow. Can I just plant them in Happy Frog and water? I don't fertilize the dandelions in my yard and they're doing just fine, lol.😂 I mean, it is a weed 😅 Help!

[@toosiie]

If you're not opposed to reading, buy Jorge Cervantes book titled "Marijuana Horticulture Indoor & outdoor grow bible" it's well written with a great index, colour coded pages. It goes into great detail on how to feed depending on how and where you're growing. It also has pictures as well as written descriptions on deficiencies and how to correct them. So give that a go and continue tuning in to this podcast and many other proficient growers. Hope it all goes well!

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.

Thank you Mr. growit. I am on my second grow. This time around its auto flowers.

[@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.

[@jordanslone88]

I have never had a problem with Fox Farm ocean Forest nor do I think it is too hot but each their own

[@rohihnbarroga4347]

My plants love it.

[@roccosgrows]

I feel like chad is right though once my autos realize that they filled up all their root space they think ok this is as big as i can get and they flower. i put clear solos in red ones and my roots hit the bottom and start the curl around 3-4 days after sprouting. the leaves do not reach the edges yet and i transplant them to final container then, throw in some mykoz. luckily never dealt with a stunt from transplant but every time ive over or underwatered i notice my autos recover then instantly flower which definitely can suck but i work alot and cant always check em...

[@horstseehofer7130]

taproot "checks" potsize and starts flowering earlier when reaching the bottom of pot/solocup I think.

[@Chris-Hill]

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.

[@roccosgrows]

Never gained yield on topping autos but you can get more uniform buds from it and I don’t notice a loss 2.5-4 zips out a 3 gals every time

[@ezbudz1993]

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!

[@freedom_born]

Cool bloke. Not too technical. Appreciated how he knew enough not to know enough - bar for the essentials. Also, respectful enough to allow and accommodate for individual grower’s budgets. Making sure not to suggest anything specifically, and regarding the reused soil… awesome, I do the same. It’s a learning process.

[@budscroggins2632]

i topped an auto for the first time my current run..is an AK47 auto...havent been impressed..think ill stay with LST..

[@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.

[@Bigbilly-ms9bn]

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

[@benayers8622]

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

I’m a photo person but I’ve tried doing autos 3 times and really didn’t like them, northern lights and early miss from cropking seeds, it was some of the worst smelling stuff I’ve ever smelled and I know what northern lights is supposed to smell like. I get the attraction to autos for the turn around but I love running photos. The quality is so much better and the fact I can have a mom and take cuttings before I flip them is a no brainer, especially if you’ve dropped ridiculous money on seeds and got something really special you want to hold onto. The little bit of extra veg time for photos is way way worth it.

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

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

Yes, u need to put a top in each trellis hole. 99% of you use the Scrogg incorrectly. The point is to ensure you have the correct amount of tops for your square footage. You should have 2 nets. One net should start at the bottom of where your cola will start and the next net should be 1ft above the bottom net. Your buds will only get 2ft of light, anything less is cut by 70% therefore it is best to just remove the rest, lollipop everything below the 1st trellis net, for some reason 97% of you still struggle to do that. Most u have no business growing, your failing every harvest for years. Your either failing to hit the yields or your failing to utilize the right amount of LED light. Using to much light it cold your terps. That’s why HPS grows yield better terps. LED yields better Yields. HPS doesn’t cook your terps like LED. Why? Because 99% of you out your LED light 10-18” above the canopy cooking your terpenes. You only worry about yields and forget about Terps.

Nice video for a Sat afternoon ! Two great guys here ! ty...

[@daytonaexpress7160]

This dude did the autoflower podcast! Its wonderful!

[@ShillyBears1]

It seems to me in my limited experience the trick to autos is to delay flower as long as possible - if u can get it to flower at day 35-40 your plant will yield very well if it’s starts flowering at day 21 u will have a plant that gives u half a Z.

Auto's work on their own program not someone else's? I'm an Auto! Cool Seeds! 😎

[@WATCHMEGOBROKE]

I grow photos with a couple autos mixed in..i like the early harvest while i wait for the rest🤙but autos are too small generally to grow them exclusively. Ive been using FOOP for months! FOOP is the Future and the Future is Now‼️

Yay for autoflower content!!!

[@the-med-shed4203]

Awesome podcast. I just started week 2 with my 4 auto's. This is my first time growing auto's and will be my 3rd run overall. I found a lot of answers to my questions regarding auto's. I'm pretty confident with what needs to be done. I will be subscribing to your guest channels. Again thanks for all the time and hard work you put in to help all us!!

[@jomama7458]

Thank you. Great podcast. Good information. About to start my first auto.

[@chip123dr]

Thanx guys for the knowledge and sharing it , I'm a first time grower and yall's ( yes ...y'all's) info is like a mental gym , Thanx ....and when I set my soil up I hear the "Rocky" theme song

[@savetheplantet5799]

Great episode . Pretty much flat out Autoflower there. When and what to do/not do = success. Thanks for the garden talk. I literally listen to it while tending the garden itself !

[@davidsalmela1563]

✌❤from Arizona. Hey Mr. Grow it. Great job! Keep it up the good information. We have 2 outdoor grow seasons here. It's been legal here for 1 year as of 4:20 yesterday😎👍

The DLI won't change the measurements will change to make the same DLI.

[@christopherwelch192]

I love watching these old ones. Now you don't use CO2 and you say your natural CO2 in your house is about the same. Live and learn. Just talk to them while you're in there and you will be more than fine unless you have an overpowerd light. Then sing to them and you will be fine...lol love the pod!

[@spincitynyc809]

I'm going to try and clone an auto to make seeds. Hopefully the seeds develop.

He said he hasn't super cropped but isn't that just bending the plant over?

Been enjoying your content on these q&a sessions. Cheers💨🤘

bro could you put me down with a creator that deals in hydro ?????

[@condeerogers5858]

I like to grow tomatoes, peppers, garlic, and onions. With this I can make salsa all summer.

[@915greenhornet]

Love love love your information totally have the notification button smashed my first season growing had a great outside season. But doing my first indoor auto grow. Turning out fantastic.

[@rdbk2]

I heard that Foop is super weak. Maybe perfect for Autoflower. But I've heard people complaining their plants had deficiencies following their bottle in photoperiod run. I would maybe use it with top dressings as a double header.

[@davfyddebruce9280]

I want to grow an auto in a 1000lt 'ibc' hydro dwc style set up, just to see how big they can get with unlimited root space, etc...

I love your podcasts, but this one is the best I have watched and listened to so far! Love that the guy is another Southern California grower. Thanks Mr. Grow It!!!

@@SoulSoilLove sorry, just saw this. I am in Los Alamitos near Long Beach. I think you are an IE grower. That is where my inlaws live (Rialto).
