Newish to growing

[Serenegreen]

Hello everyone I'm getting ready to do my third grow the first 2 I just put some autoflower seeds in dirt and harvested three months later. I have a few years experience with house plants. I'm kind of a hands off plant mom I like looking more than fiddling with them but growing my own smoke I didn't get the yield that I would like to get and it could be a lot more dense. I'm here to learn new information and improve my growing skills.

Welcome to the forum! Give us a rundown of your soil choice, lights, general set-up and we can give you some tips to increase your yield. Good to hear you have experience with houseplants, every little bit of knowledge helps! I like you am a kind of "set it, and forget it" type grower. A first tip, autoflowers are probably not the best choice for a newish grower, they can be a bit finnicky, and if they don't get a good start it's hard to recover.

Welcome to 420 Magazine forums! You'll find lots of helpful information from friendly people.

Autos will fit in nicely with your "hands off" philosophy. It's one less thing to worry about. Seeds in the ground and let her rip! My first 6 plants were autos and I thought they were easy even if I didn't get the highest of yields. I'm currently growing photos but that's because I got the seeds for free. Haven't had a harvest yet so I can't compare the yield to the autos. There are people here that get yields from their autos that approach that of some photos. Even if you don't get great yields but like the bud, then just grow more plants! Ok, oversimplified.

Don't get me wrong, I grow runs of autos and photos, and I average about 4-6 oz. dried and cured, from each auto, a bit more from photos (because I control the size at flip).

Welcome to 420

Hands off is definitely my approach nowadays. Yet I'm years in and started very much hands on and fiddling with my plants constantly.

In my experience less is often more with pretty much everything to do with growing, (apart from hands on time). The more you put in the more you'll get back....

Welcome.

In my opinion, if you want to yield more try growing photo period plants.

As was mentioned, give us a run down of your set up and we can suggest ways to improve your skills and your inventory.
