here are 10 top tips for successfully growing autoflowers
Size of Pot - Even for dwarf autos you need to be using a 3 gallon pot to give the plant enough space to develop a good rootball.
NEVER TRANSPLANT
A good light mix - A nice light mix such as 50:50 coco
erlite is best as it makes sure you get a good wet-dry cycle.
AVOID OVERWATERING AT ALL COSTS
Give NO NUTRIENTS AT ALL until the autoflowering cannabis plant has developed 4 nodes. The dose should only be introduced gradually and in increments.
Continue vegetative feed until ALL upward growth stops. The auto will have started flowering before this happens (in a 9-10 week auto, you would expect to continue using veg nutes until week 6)
Ensure the genetic material (that’s technical talk for Cannabis Seeds guys!) that you start off with is of good, well bred and viable stock. Check what other growers are / have been growing and how well the strain did.
KEEP A GOOD AIR FLOW
Go easy on the nutes. Generally less is better in most cases.
Don’t give them too much light to start with. Go for a low watt fixture for seedling growth, increasing the amount of light as the plant develops.
