Scrog is another type of "supercropping". While it gets similar results the techniques are different.

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
Thanks guys, I'm going to look both of them up. The only thing about smashing and bending stems is the autoflower plant only has 2 months from seed to harvest and ive heard it's not good for any kind of clipping/trimming, since it causes too much stress for them to recoup and then start to grow again. So the screen basically slows down the vertical growth and makes them bush out?

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
by the end of the stretch do you mean the end of the veg stage? I'm still a little slow on the grow lingo.

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
from seed my strain takes 9-11 weeks to finish. it usually starts flowering after 3-4 weeks. so what do you think?

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
Just so i have this clear, as soon as they start flowering make them grow along the screen for about 13 days roughly?

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
well i'd rather follow your advice than go by my clueless ass.
also i didnt want to start training them against the screen until i was exactly for sure when they would be ready for it.

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
beautiful man, i think i will do that, would that create a better yield than the scrog way? i've got a couple pics of my setup, taken with a cellphone camera so they aren't the greatest, (i will put them on here shortly) though i am waiting till next week to get 2 more CFL's and reflectors.

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
interested to see an autoflower thread. haven't seen many. --- personally i would think that LST would be the best method if autos go into flower due to height. tying down the arms (if you have any) wouldn't really produce more shoots and would lead to far less meds in the end. where as if you LST you can prolong the veg stage increasing root mass and create more colas from more shoots.

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
since i screwed up and used Miracle Grow for my soil, should i just stick with giving them spring/purified water and no nutes? As of today they are 2 weeks old from seed,
I only have about 7-9 weeks until it's finished and they will start flowering in a week.

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
depends on what kind of miracle grow you got --- most don't have micro neuts in it so you will need to feed. miracle grow is fine for house plants and a garden but it's not ideal for growing marijuana from what i've seen.

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
yeah i cant remember if it had micro neuts or not, i have some miracle grow bloom buster stuff, should i use that at like 1/4 strength and watch it for a few days? (of course ill wait until they go into flowering first, only 1 week left.)

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
like i said earlier i screwed up and used miracle grow.....since these are just autoflowers and take 2 months from start to finish im just gonna let them go in it,since im already a quarter of the way finished. I've heard a lot about people using miracle grow and as long as they aren't too harsh with the nutrients or they just use spring water the whole grow, they've gotten good yields/decent weed. I was also wondering since auto's only have a 3 week veg stage, should i just skip to the flowering nutrients?

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
thanks for your input, you just gave me the idea to use plain soil to start in a jiffy cup. then switch to ocean forest when i transplant. another bad thing about auto's is you're supposed to plant it and keep it in 1 container throughout the whole grow. (keeps the stress level at a minimum) i like the autos because they only take 2 months, but they are so delicate/and so little time to grow, you cant experiment too much with them. ill just have to see how much i yield as to whether or not i'll continue growing them.

Re: 1st Grow/BigBud AutoFlower
i was talking about using a harmless soil with no/low nutrients, keep it in the cup till it gets big enough to handle the stronger nutes. then transplant into your final pot. so there is no possible way of burning it up, (since ocean forest is a little too hot on young plants?)
