You’re too funny !
Don’t worry I won’t hold you responsible.
Autos you don’t need to flip to 12-12 . Do you prefer to give them 24 hours of light or let them sleep a little ?
I don’t grow autos but if I did I’d throw some in the veg tent so whatever I like when your vegging I’d let them sleep lol
I thought autos were harder to grow and more sensitive to grow. That’s why I was asking for advice.
So in my experience the minute they get stressed bam they want to go in flower … Your at 4 nodes you top and you end up with 2 small buds that’s what I’ve experienced… some have great success … I have not
Ty, I’ll focus on the LST And maybe one top.
There are some dudes on here that strictly grow auto they might be more suited to ask maybe something to look at
I’m doing my first grow ever and they happen to be autos. The things I’ve learned is a good light makes all the difference. I’m pretty sure my light is a good part of why my grow is going well. My girls in the pic at 44 days old this morning. I went with HLG and do not regret spending the money at all.
What is your:
PPFD? PPM? PH?![]()
I’ve been using photone app so I’m sure it’s a guesstimate. I’m running 20/4 and dli is around 40-45 and ppfd is 550ish. I had to move my light back up around 30in I was stressing them. PH in is usually 6.5 feeding jacks 321. Oh and ppm is usually around 800-900 or so feeding every other day.
Thank you, brother.
The ladies look nice, great job!
No toping here.

I grow autos in between my photo grows always have atleast one or 2 autos going in my veg tent at all times they do well under 18/6 schedule or even a 12/12 if you want to save some coin on power usage lol my biggest thing ive found with autos is they are more finicky and touchy to transplanting alot will recommend starting in the final container to remove the issues and stress of transplanting i see alot of people always saying that autos require less nutrients im not sure how much is true or if its just a bro science i personally dont treat my autos any different than my photoperiod girls and id have to say i have good results with my autos just like photoperiod plants each strain/pheno is different some my want more food some may want less food just gotta read what the girls are telling ya id have to say tho all the autos ive grown they are more calcium and magnesium hungry pre flower stretch in my experience
Bro’s are so much simpler, easier to understand and not so sensitive. lol! Ty, ![]()
