Autoflower Myth Busting Thread

[Baxterwolfe]

Thanks sue and atrain for the quick replies. I have the lights set up so they make a very tight halo above the canopy. I'm in the process of building a rig to hold the lights and adjust them to the plants size and needs.

Good luck man... you know where to find us if ypu need anything along the way... feel free to pop in my journal at anytime and ask anything as well... it's the top link in my sig

Started on putting reflictex up and building my light rig after work. Do you guys think the little guy is getting enough light the way this is setup? Will be like this for about a day.

 

[Atrain]

Yes I have 2 right now at 13 days old running just fine under 2 23w cfl

 

[Baxterwolfe]

Hello atrain thanks for the advice and willingness to help so far. I plan to run 4 32w 2700k and run 2 32w 6500k and 2 23w either 5k or 2700k. Do you think this would be enough light for flowering?

New grower here and started off with autos because I thought it would be easier. Got my seeds about the same time I found this forum. Buddy of mine that's an old school grower didn't have much good to say about autos but I thought I'd try them anyway. Imagine my surprise when I found some pics of some of the plants y'all have been churning out. I never imagined that an auto could produce so much. I'm nearing 5 weeks from seed on my grow (see link in signature) and so far so good, at least in my rookie mind. The info I've gathered from posts made by several in this thread has been invaluable, thanks for your contributions. Already trying to figure out what I'm going to grow next. Primarily looking for something for pain relief, the wife has fibromyalgia. Any suggestions? I think someone mentioned White Widow for pain relief on the 1st page. I had been considering Blue Mystic.

White Widow is a long time go to for pain relief. I grow at least one with every grow.

It will flower yes .. run as many 2700k as possible during flower

Thanks atrain, cajun, and everyone. This was a great thread idea. Hopefully, it will help growers see the potential of autos.

 

[Atrain]

You got it LEDRF... you have some very nice grows brother lots of respect there.... feel free to post anything helpful here anytime man

My girlfriend really liked the auto Ultimate by Dutch Passion for pain.

Atrain, did White Cheese by Royal give you a good yield? I haven't tried that one. I have tried their WW, and it yields nicely.

 

[Atrain]

Good stuff I'm bout to have a jar or two (or 20) of ultimate lol

Atrain & others....thanks for info & great thread. I went from ignoring autos to trying a couple. Now I see a place for them along with the photos. I recently bought my 1st auto seed pack so happy to have landed on this thread.

 

[Atrain]

I see a lot of photo grower say the same... it's not their primary plant but Def helps fill the gap in the cold season.... good luck buddy hope the info helps
