Hey mlar5! What kind of farm were you raised on? Life long farmer myself. If I won the lotto tomorrow I'd just farm until it was all gone!
Let me give you a few quick do's and don'ts with autos.
- Do run an 18 hr on and 6 off light cycle. From my experience it seems to be the best across the board. Some run 12/12 but I believe that you sacrifice some weight in the finished product if you go that route.
-Don't spend a lot of money with fancy nutes. I have compared my results now with my own organic tea mix, Flora Gro nutes and Jacks Classic from Peters. At about 9-11 bucks a tub Jacks Classic was the most cost effective if I count the time I spend messing with my tea mix.
-Do transplant into a container as the seedling grows. Don't wait as long to transplant as a regular plant. Once they become root bound they flower even if they are only 4 inches tall. I am really finding a lot of success in half bushel baskets. That hold 4 gallons. I currently have a 4 and a half foot tall Critical Chaze Auto from flash seeds 46 days old in a half bushel and she is flowering like crazy.
-Don't stress the young seedling especially when it comes to temperatures or watering. They react by quickly going into the flowering stage
-Don't over feed the plants early on let them live on your soils nutrients. You will see when the young plants begin to "kick in" that's when to begin your fertilizing schedule.
Remember that with autos the plant still passes through all of the stages of plant growth that a regular photoperiodic plant experiences but in a much shorter time line especially the vegetation phase.
Best of luck in all you grow!

Yep The Government is screwing up the produce business with the ridiculous over reaching GAP procedures. Like everything some good , a lot of bad. You know it's bad when the Amish are pissed!

Yep, the scariest words you can hear are, "I'm from the Government and I'm here to help!"

Hey Fellers , just remember the government is US...and....this wing of the government wants to sit up here on the Mountain and help other folks grow stuff! But remember one thing.....any government lives because of us...we don't live because of the government. Aim high boys! Make whatever the Hell you want of your life! Time's a wasting!
