I’m learning all over again. 45 years ago I use to watch my grandfather grow. Now I just decided to grow again I feel it’s more technical 😂 F it just grow 🌱🌱🌱🌱
As I get closer to finishing off my first grow in my Gorilla 5x5 I will be working my way through 60 auto seeds of 6 different varieties. That will take a while to plow through but be a lot of fun and a good learning experience as well.
Best way I describe the difference in the two, for those that don’t grow or maybe just smoke and have no knowledge is just tell them a photo grows like a tomato plant all summer long, and auto just do what they do in 10 wks. Love the work you guys do
High guys! So I'm am literally just starting off. Got everything except the light and will be here tomorrow. When I first started looking into this I started getting information overload. The more I look in to things the more intimidated I get. Looked at a bunch of TH-cam channels for information and settled in to adhering to what you guys put out. As I see your enthusiasm for growing, it truly encourages me to start this project, keep an open mind, and simply do the best I can. I know it's a skill and it takes time to develop. I just want you guys to know that you are a true encouragement to this guy right here in the State of VA! Will keep you updated as my grow begins and goes thru it's life cycle. Thanks again!!!

Great video y'all, good vibes from you two!! Im getting close to 60 yrs old and don't partake as much these days but still enjoy here and there.

The first video I saw you didn't show your face, but I knew your voice! Miss the old Motovloggin live streams... Nice to see we have similar hobbies haha.
You make some good points here. Photos don't have the rudarolis genetics which other than autoflowering is all they bring to the party. If you have 2 tents one flower and one veg, with the veg on 50% power with 18 on and 6 off. Then a flower tent on 90% 12 on and 12 off you draw less power and create less heat in you grow space. I have really enjoyed watching your channel evolve along with you alls journey. I am especially jealous of your drip watering system. I still hand water. I trust my medicine to general hydroponics after all that little company scotts has some real science behind them. Cheers hope you all are enjoying a long weekend too
Great video! Fellow Michigan growmie. I'm not a pro grower but I've experienced both and am switching back to photos. Imo, autoflowers can be complicated. And in Michigan as u know 18/6 or24 on can get you killed by the energy company. I just haven't been as successful with autos as photos. They are infinitely more finicky.
They are tricky! But we are having fun and getting better and better results, we are finding different strains need different things at different times, learning to read the plans and act in time to keep the autos happy is what we are tyring to learn! Then that should translate to awesome photos when we go back to em! Thanks for watching MichiFAM from the 616!
Guys much appreation for the content, so much info to stream from you guys yet to come for me so I'll be watching and learning, but autos are my style, really don't need any thing big till I'm really serious and thinking what would last longer for what I'll be smokin, but hell the smaller the better right, but sometimes autos that grow small but strike hard would be a lot better but still hunting the phonos much love from the UK
im digging through the archives ...😁 gotta do an update on this soon with what you think now ? .. ive been trying growing some photos for last year but I still prefer my autos 😎
This is my first year for autos i put them my greenhouse. I trying 3 different plants. I’ve been growing northern lights for 20 years off the same plant. After germinating I put them in my grow room for 5 days at 20 /4 . My strain of northern lights I can have them done in 90 to 100 days at 5 foot tall by control of my lights. I use the old school 1200 watt bulb it works for me and friends of mine can’t believe my crop. But back to Auto I just had too give them a try
Another good video thx guys for the entertainment always gives me sumthing to do in the car!! Tell I get back home with my baby's!! And start working with my baby's
Plus it's the wife's birthday today so going to spend the day with her sense she has today off work thank God she works all the time so should be a nice day
I have the tendency to veg plants way to long, but I also hold mothers/genetics of plants indefinitely. The people I know that grow lots of autos and switch to some photos just don't veg them as long. So when they get clones they veg for a short time 3-4 weeks and then flip, technically you can flip them from clone but that's if you have space restrictions. Making them almost identically timed to their autos. Yes on the flip side growing a photo plant straight from seed you add that additional time, but that's a one time additional need to pheno hunt out those keeper clones, after that dispose of the non keepers and just run the keeper clones. I'm making some auto lines now. When I get them done I will send you some. Also photos if you want some too.
Thats awesome! Cloning is nice and does cut down on the time it can take to run a photo cuz you skip all the seedling stage. Definitely a huge + for photos! What autos are you making? That seems like such a cool process! We are excited to learn more!
@@Highigan There is an Australian Bastard Cannabis Auto that I'm growing from hybri-tech. I'm going to cross that to some things like forum cut cookies, and sunset sherb and OGKB 2.1. Those seeds will all be photos, but feminized F1, I'm shooting for the ones with the ABC small tiny leaves. Then I will take those and pollinate back some of the ABC(Australian Bastard Cannabis ) a couple of times until the auto trait becomes dominate. Its a recessive trait, so if you cross (auto x photo) those F1 seeds are always photos. You grow those out and use 2 of them to keep making the seed lines, and the F2 will show some autos like 25%, and F3 will show more 50+%-ish. I have to go back and look but I think they are mostly stable by that F4 stage. Its like each time its bred, the trait is passed but recessive until enough the lineage has it in its recessive traits, to make it no-longer recessive. Then they become all day-neutral)- autoflower.
Thats all amazing! Hope you are making some videos on the process! We really don't know much on breeding yet but feels like something we will venture into when we get really good at growing, right now that's our major challenge!
Love your content guys. I'm a new grower in Australia and Im currently growing 1x Zkittlez and x1 Purple Juice in my 2x2 tent. I've learned so much from you guys already and after watching a bunch of videos where they make it sound like you need to be a chemistry professor, I have settled and subscribed to your channel. Its clear, concise and interesting to watch - keep up the awesome work!
Indoors, my autos go about 12 weeks, photos about 20 total, so my autos grow 60% as long. My autos return about 60% vs photos, so yields are close to equal over time. Your mileage may vary.
I started with autos and then went to photos. I found growing with something like Ocean Forest or something you don't have to amend, saves time and makes good sense because of the results. I liked the rapid growth of autos so I went with 45 day flower photos and that's damn near an auto if not even faster. My brother just gave me 2 kinds of auto seeds so I'm super excited to do a side by side comparison. Thanks for the channel
Basically with a continuous garden you spend more money in the electric bill with autos than with photos, so photos keep winning👍🌱🌅. Training photos is just amazing!!
I think it can be far simpler to run 4/20 then switch spectrum a week or 2 after flower's appear but also with autos they can be less forgiving if something goes wrong because you'll mess up that cycle with any stress but you have the advantage of time with photos to make corrections. And you can reveg and clone ofcourse. I like to grow both
What about growing autos out doors. Will they .start flowering earlier in the winter months in so Arizona. Our white widows were actually tiny compared to yours. The buds are awesome for sure, but the plants started flowering at about 3.5 weeks and at 8.5 weeks they are very close to harvest. This is our first auto grow and we planted them in late august . They are killer buds but the plants are only about 12-14” inches tall .
In my opinion photos are better to start with because they allow you to mess up while being flexible enough to withstand that mistake and withstand too much stress. My first grow was an auto that yielded me 0.3oz because I made major mistakes that stunted the plant. My second grow was a photo that yielded about 3oz and allowed me to learn from the mistakes a made before, have the confidence to try different training techniques, and improve my methods without stunting another plants growth that I then applied to my autos later on.
Just seconding this comment. It's the truth. Autos aren't really good for learning anything about the things that can be done to this plant. They're great, but they're also horrible for building confidence.
Hey guys, I recently found your channel, enjoyable and informative thanks. I’m curious if you’ve tried running your lights 24hrs vs 20/4 and if not maybe a video comparing both?
I'm on my first gr0w right now and doing a couple autos, I do love them but I definitely don't enjoy how little room for error there is as fas a bouncing back from any mistakes or training as someone prone to making mistakes. Though mine have surprisingly done so pretty well besides some errors on my part slowing them down.
When doing autos everything that gets trimmed off the bottom clone it grow them out in solo cups. I did this in a 3in 1 tent 12 to 16 cups you'll be surprised so easy to 😂😂
That's about what we are seeing on autos now that we are getting better with em, 3-6oz plant in about 3 months from seed. Obvious drawbacks like no cloning, less forgiving to mistakes ect, but we can run everything in one tent as a perpetual grow with no flipping lights.
I’ve been growing for a year now my state became legal last year. All autos. My first grow I’ve grown 1 ounce of each strain. Second grow I got 2 ounces each grow. And unfortunately on my latest grow. One plant stunted. But the other plant got 4 ounces. Literally. The same as the last grow off of just one plant. You will get better with time. And learning something new.
So, I can get a quarter pound plus out all my auto's on average. The 84 day is good average wise, but I have some go quicker and some more. Got Gorilla Glue girls by FastBuds on week 13 and no Amber trichomes yet, lol. Never know with these auto's, but love growing them.
Yeah we have noticed swings, and some genetics like mephisto always tend to be on the faster side 70-80 day finish. But most seem at or close to 84 days. Some do just take longer, if its the strain or genetics or some issue over the grow. Autos! lol We love em too tho! 💚
That's what's up 👊 So question, if I have an auto and a photo in the same tent and I want to switch the photo into flower, will it make a huge impact on my auto?
We don't recommend a light schedule with an auto to be less then 18/6 for it to perform best. But an auto will grow in Any Amount of light. We have not experimented personally with a light schedule of 12/12. If you do- please let us know. We love seeing experiments 😍
Absolutely right if you stun a auto you have missed your opportunity. I've neglected photos until I thought they were DEAD and brought them back to life and still got good harvest.lol
If you watch our 4x4 or 5x5 setup videos we do have lights on each side since we run all in the same tent, the seedling sides light is usually turned down around 35-50% bloom side is higher.
@@Highigan ahhh ok I didn't even think of that. I have just one light in a 3x3 but wanna try anyway. Or leave seedlings outside and pray nothing hitchhikes into the grow after an essential oils pest spray.
@@zentatonic if you place the seedling at the edge of the tent they will get less light intensity you can even put them under larger plants to "shield" them from direct light if it's to powerful
I am a new grower too. I personally enjoy both! I think too maybe certain plants may be better for different time of the year for the grower. Like personally I tend to be more busy in the summer than in the winter so I think for me autos make more sense in the warm months and during the cold months when I have more time to tend to the plants I like the photos.
U follow my Instagram post and stuff I have 2 4×4 grow tents a 4×8 2 2×4 grow tents a 2×2 and a 8×8 grow tent coming from Amazon can't wait going to pack it with auto flowers and 5 viparspactra 4000
Kathleen with autos just leave them on 18/6 minimum the whole grow! No need to change lights! They will pop pistils on their own and all plants are different! Thats what makes them autoflowering! They do that without light change!
is it true that auto's will not produce the rosin yeild %s as high as photos? old school hydro grower here would love to get a plant done/chopped in 84 days lol. bet it would be even faster in my ebb and grow
We have had some very frosty autos, that being said, yield typically not as high as a photo but that turn around time makes up for it! Try some and let us know what ya think! They are fun!
@@mikec3820 we have had great success with homegrown cannabis co, pretty much all the plants you have seen grown so far from this channel have been from them. We tried to order from seedsman which we have heard good things about but we never received our order and lost over 200$ so we will never be ordering from them again...
@@Highigan cool thanks guys. never heard of the homegrown one. ill check it out. i have heard similar good/bad things about seedsman. i got alien gg #4 (f) from cropkingseeds this yr fast delivery time and only one seed didnt make it by my own fault i think tbh. i hear good things about north atlantic seed co too. being im on the east coast i was looking for close places this yr due to all the mail delays
@@Highigan that sucks to hear about Seedsman. I'd be pissed too. I'm sure you're happy with your current seed bank because your trees look fire. I'll give them a try in the future. Seedsman ships to a hub in Maine from the UK and if it happened to pass through the Chicago USPS terminal at any point on the way to you, which is highly likely, then that might explain it because they are notorious for confiscating shit and not sending you a notice until months later or not at all, which has happened to me countless times in the past before cannabis was widely accepted. Something to note - any forwarded delivery with USPS are not permissible and will more than likely be intercepted. I'm pretty sure they would try to make it right and possibly double your order and give you freebies, judging from customer reviews in the past.. I would imagine with you guys being content creators they would want to redeem themselves to save face. I ordered from Seedsman and received my seeds in about 17 days time to Virginia from Europe with no buyers insurance. I received my tracking info 14 days after purchase and they arrived 3 days later on a Saturday. 100% germination rate. Sorry you had a bad experience. I'm not affiliated with Seedsman, just a new grower who has watched just about every one of your videos trying to soak in information so I can hit the ground running.
During seedling and veg you can run higher RH, since we run perpetual autos all in the same tent, we usually just try and keep around 50%rh all the time since we have plants ranging from seedling to late flower all in the same area.
@@Highigan Thanks, so I'm in Houston area the RH is about 57 percent. I have seedlings that are auto and a zkittles feminized that has about 2 weeks left. Is that RH ok for the both of them, I don't want to mess up the final stage of zkittles since this is my first grow. And thanks I like y'alls videos, especially the one that mentions the 3 gallon vs 5 gallon pots. I feel the 5 gallon is to much and wasteful, gonna try 3 gallon next.
SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE i have recently taken some clones within the last 7 days and used clonex rooting gel, soaked the rockwool cubes in water with nitrogen, potassium and CalMag .... the roots have just started to take off (i just re-dipped them in gel) yet, the bottom fan leaves are going yellow and dying at a rapid rate! somebody please explain what is happening and if they know a quick/efficient fix! Muchly appreciated 😅
Autos are harder for beginners. Less room for error. Photos give you more recovery time and allow you to control when they flow. Also there is no significant time gain with auto vs photo. Experienced growers can actually have photos finish as fast or faster than autos.
Auto is like giving a job to someone and they HAVE to produce a product in so many days… a photo is a job you give someone with way more forgiveness.. if the person has a problem on the job they have time to fix and correct… so you tell me what better for a beginner a job on a time frame or a job with flexibility 🤷♂️… also photos are better bargain for the price.. you can clone 1 seed over and over to produce pounds from 1 seed
for a beginner autos are definitely not ideal. For a beginner one of the most common issues are watering practices. most recommendations suggest not transplanting autos which for beginners again watering practices come into play watering a small plant in a large pot. since autos flower around day 30 improper watering can stunt plant. since autos flower so soon a stunted plant will ruin the grow. if you do grow autos first start in beginner pots allowing you to water pot completely, lifting pot before and after each watering to start judging pot weight dry vs watered. that'll help future watering. transplant into finishing pot week 3 or day 21 from sprout. plants have been growing at night for millions of years. unless you have a subpar light plants will droop around 16 or 18 hours signifying their light fullness. if they cant use the light why waste 6 hours of electricity. imo you use the same equipment, nutrients, time, and money to grow both photos and autos. difference is half a plant referring to autos. same effort, time, and money to grow both but you'll grow half the weed using autos. granted you can up your plant count using autos to cover the lost bud but now you're using more effort, time, and money to grow the same amount of weed just to grow autos. a beginner should start with photoperiods. unless a grower can take a healthy plant into and through flower everything else is irrelevant. growing photos allows you time to become educated, while your plant vegges. get a quality soil you'll literally just have to water and get run off readings studying your plant, medium of choice and be given the opportunity to dial in your setup. autos better have everything perfect for 100 days. from seed to harvest. with all that said I believe autos have a place within a grow if used properly. I personally run autos 8 to 12 plants at a time perpetually outdoors while I use my tents and closets for photoperiods.
Agree completely, its really up to your needs and what works for your area, space for us is an issue right now so autos have a smaller grow space requirement!
On a photo u can repair nearly every mistake but on an auto not. If a beginner makes mistakes on an auto, it's done, no chance to repair, it will bloom, sure but with horrible small yields. On a photo you can fix anything and still get a huge harvest. For beginners? No autos... I also use the first cut of an auto, after 2/3 weeks, to grow a single bud beside the actual ladies For experienced or for autdoor, autos make sense... the yield will always be less than on photos🤷🏻♂️ autos are only a good deal for the breeders wallet. that's why they push it that engaged....😉 Green greetings from the south-east of Germany ✌🏻🖖🏻🥦
Great tips and you are right autos you really get one shot to nail it, we are getting better every grow but over all even with our mistakes we are yielding enough for our personal needs! Thanks for the tips we are getting better than learning something new ever grow! 🙏💚
@@Highigan sure, learning is a job for the lifetime. I really enjoy your videos, there are not much with that content in german, also TH-cam and others big ones are going to extinct while people realise how they fool, poison and manipulate us. Anyways, best wishes from the south-east of Germany ✌🏻🖖🏻🥦
Have you grown photos yet? With those viparspectra lights you got now you would see rapid growth. Also autos do not depend on photosynthesis so grow those fuckers 24hrs lights on or 20/4. You'll get bigger plants. But 100% truth is, photos produce way better pot then autos.
Oh yeah I run 20/4 for our autos, we know the yield is lower but the fast turn around lets us harvest 4 plants a month with out perpetual grow all in one tent!
I’m learning all over again. 45 years ago I use to watch my grandfather grow. Now I just decided to grow again I feel it’s more technical 😂 F it just grow 🌱🌱🌱🌱
Do it! It will bring more joy than you thought! 🤘🌱
Watching autos is magical I love it
Minnesota is about to Legalize like 8 plants per house or so... Hoping to get into it
Great show. I started growing 1 year ago. All autos. My grow area is small so autos make the most sense. Keep the info coming!!!
Thats awesome! Hows the grows going? We are still noobs so learning a ton!
As I get closer to finishing off my first grow in my Gorilla 5x5 I will be working my way through 60 auto seeds of 6 different varieties. That will take a while to plow through but be a lot of fun and a good learning experience as well.
How do you like this tent .did it came with everything how's the light difesency

Oh dang! Welcome fam! Ya found the new channel! 🙌💚
Great video! Love the quality of your production! Real slick! Super friendly couple too! Awesome stuff peeps! Stay safe! Take care! 🇬🇧🤙
Thanks so much fam! We appreciate that! We do put some work into our content!
@@Highigan It shows! Just munching through your videos. Very enjoyable 😊 Take it easy ✌️
We hope you enjoy what we are doing here! Soooo much for fun stuff planed on this channel! Have a beautiful day!
You make some good points here. Photos don't have the rudarolis genetics which other than autoflowering is all they bring to the party. If you have 2 tents one flower and one veg, with the veg on 50% power with 18 on and 6 off. Then a flower tent on 90% 12 on and 12 off you draw less power and create less heat in you grow space. I have really enjoyed watching your channel evolve along with you alls journey. I am especially jealous of your drip watering system. I still hand water. I trust my medicine to general hydroponics after all that little company scotts has some real science behind them. Cheers hope you all are enjoying a long weekend too
Great video! Fellow Michigan growmie. I'm not a pro grower but I've experienced both and am switching back to photos. Imo, autoflowers can be complicated. And in Michigan as u know 18/6 or24 on can get you killed by the energy company. I just haven't been as successful with autos as photos. They are infinitely more finicky.
They are tricky! But we are having fun and getting better and better results, we are finding different strains need different things at different times, learning to read the plans and act in time to keep the autos happy is what we are tyring to learn! Then that should translate to awesome photos when we go back to em! Thanks for watching MichiFAM from the 616!
Guys much appreation for the content, so much info to stream from you guys yet to come for me so I'll be watching and learning, but autos are my style, really don't need any thing big till I'm really serious and thinking what would last longer for what I'll be smokin, but hell the smaller the better right, but sometimes autos that grow small but strike hard would be a lot better but still hunting the phonos much love from the UK
im digging through the archives ...😁 gotta do an update on this soon with what you think now ? .. ive been trying growing some photos for last year but I still prefer my autos 😎
This is my first year for autos i put them my greenhouse. I trying 3 different plants. I’ve been growing northern lights for 20 years off the same plant. After germinating I put them in my grow room for 5 days at 20 /4 . My strain of northern lights I can have them done in 90 to 100 days at 5 foot tall by control of my lights. I use the old school 1200 watt bulb it works for me and friends of mine can’t believe my crop. But back to Auto I just had too give them a try
Happy Thursday growmies 🙌🔥💪😎
Woo wo0o!
ery day! lol
Subbed. Been watching a few of your vids, but THIS is the one that convinced me to sub. 4:16
Love y’all energy man Keep up the good work
Appreciate it
Great video you two! I need to try growing some autos here soon, maybe once a tent clears out I will give it a go
DO ITTT FAMMM! Nice thing is you can run them along side your photos that are vegging! Throw a few in and take a walk on the wild side! LOL
Another good video thx guys for the entertainment always gives me sumthing to do in the car!! Tell I get back home with my baby's!! And start working with my baby's
Plant Parents lol
@@Highigan hell yeah I love my plants all 30 of them that I have going
Plus it's the wife's birthday today so going to spend the day with her sense she has today off work thank God she works all the time so should be a nice day
Awe happy bday to her!
I have the tendency to veg plants way to long, but I also hold mothers/genetics of plants indefinitely. The people I know that grow lots of autos and switch to some photos just don't veg them as long. So when they get clones they veg for a short time 3-4 weeks and then flip, technically you can flip them from clone but that's if you have space restrictions. Making them almost identically timed to their autos. Yes on the flip side growing a photo plant straight from seed you add that additional time, but that's a one time additional need to pheno hunt out those keeper clones, after that dispose of the non keepers and just run the keeper clones. I'm making some auto lines now. When I get them done I will send you some. Also photos if you want some too.
Thats awesome! Cloning is nice and does cut down on the time it can take to run a photo cuz you skip all the seedling stage. Definitely a huge + for photos! What autos are you making? That seems like such a cool process! We are excited to learn more!
@@Highigan There is an Australian Bastard Cannabis Auto that I'm growing from hybri-tech. I'm going to cross that to some things like forum cut cookies, and sunset sherb and OGKB 2.1. Those seeds will all be photos, but feminized F1, I'm shooting for the ones with the ABC small tiny leaves. Then I will take those and pollinate back some of the ABC(Australian Bastard Cannabis ) a couple of times until the auto trait becomes dominate. Its a recessive trait, so if you cross (auto x photo) those F1 seeds are always photos. You grow those out and use 2 of them to keep making the seed lines, and the F2 will show some autos like 25%, and F3 will show more 50+%-ish. I have to go back and look but I think they are mostly stable by that F4 stage. Its like each time its bred, the trait is passed but recessive until enough the lineage has it in its recessive traits, to make it no-longer recessive. Then they become all day-neutral)- autoflower.
Thats all amazing! Hope you are making some videos on the process! We really don't know much on breeding yet but feels like something we will venture into when we get really good at growing, right now that's our major challenge!
Love your content guys. I'm a new grower in Australia and Im currently growing 1x Zkittlez and x1 Purple Juice in my 2x2 tent. I've learned so much from you guys already and after watching a bunch of videos where they make it sound like you need to be a chemistry professor, I have settled and subscribed to your channel. Its clear, concise and interesting to watch - keep up the awesome work!
Indoors, my autos go about 12 weeks, photos about 20 total, so my autos grow 60% as long. My autos return about 60% vs photos, so yields are close to equal over time. Your mileage may vary.
I started with autos and then went to photos. I found growing with something like Ocean Forest or something you don't have to amend, saves time and makes good sense because of the results. I liked the rapid growth of autos so I went with 45 day flower photos and that's damn near an auto if not even faster. My brother just gave me 2 kinds of auto seeds so I'm super excited to do a side by side comparison. Thanks for the channel
Basically with a continuous garden you spend more money in the electric bill with autos than with photos, so photos keep winning👍🌱🌅. Training photos is just amazing!!
I think it can be far simpler to run 4/20 then switch spectrum a week or 2 after flower's appear but also with autos they can be less forgiving if something goes wrong because you'll mess up that cycle with any stress but you have the advantage of time with photos to make corrections. And you can reveg and clone ofcourse. I like to grow both
I would love to see you guys do at least 1 run growing a single photo in the 5 x 5 tent. Dos Si Dos or Blue Dream.
Oh We gunna run photos again! Don't worry :)
Heck yeah awesome video guys!!! 🔥💨🤘🏻
Thanks for showin our videos some love fam! Happy Friday!
What about growing autos out doors. Will they .start flowering earlier in the winter months in so Arizona. Our white widows were actually tiny compared to yours. The buds are awesome for sure, but the plants started flowering at about 3.5 weeks and at 8.5 weeks they are very close to harvest. This is our first auto grow and we planted them in late august . They are killer buds but the plants are only about 12-14” inches tall .
In my opinion photos are better to start with because they allow you to mess up while being flexible enough to withstand that mistake and withstand too much stress. My first grow was an auto that yielded me 0.3oz because I made major mistakes that stunted the plant. My second grow was a photo that yielded about 3oz and allowed me to learn from the mistakes a made before, have the confidence to try different training techniques, and improve my methods without stunting another plants growth that I then applied to my autos later on.
Just seconding this comment. It's the truth.
Autos aren't really good for learning anything about the things that can be done to this plant. They're great, but they're also horrible for building confidence.
can you use those little humidity control packets that look like sugar packets in Grove bags?
You can but its not needed, the bag it self regulates rh so you don't even need the packs you also do not have to burp them! Thats why we love em!
Hey guys, I recently found your channel, enjoyable and informative thanks. I’m curious if you’ve tried running your lights 24hrs vs 20/4 and if not maybe a video comparing both?
Great channel indeed! Love their enthusiasm and above content.
you guys should do an auto vs photo taste test. just a couple of each and then make an episode!
I'm on my first gr0w right now and doing a couple autos, I do love them but I definitely don't enjoy how little room for error there is as fas a bouncing back from any mistakes or training as someone prone to making mistakes. Though mine have surprisingly done so pretty well besides some errors on my part slowing them down.
When doing autos everything that gets trimmed off the bottom clone it grow them out in solo cups. I did this in a 3in 1 tent 12 to 16 cups you'll be surprised so easy to 😂😂
Love your attatude
🙏💚
Great Conversation!!
Thanks for hangin out fam!
3.5-4 months is the cycle for my photos. And i yeild around 4-5 oz per plant
That's about what we are seeing on autos now that we are getting better with em, 3-6oz plant in about 3 months from seed. Obvious drawbacks like no cloning, less forgiving to mistakes ect, but we can run everything in one tent as a perpetual grow with no flipping lights.
I've said for 5 years now auto's are the future 😁 anesia seeds now do one 27% thc and 500g/m2 in 8 weeks many of the nrw strains are now around 25%
They are getting better! We have some mephisto beans we are excited to try! We have heard good things!
Nice I can’t wait to start !
I’ve been growing for a year now my state became legal last year. All autos.
My first grow I’ve grown 1 ounce of each strain. Second grow I got 2 ounces each grow. And unfortunately on my latest grow. One plant stunted. But the other plant got 4 ounces. Literally. The same as the last grow off of just one plant. You will get better with time. And learning something new.
So, I can get a quarter pound plus out all my auto's on average. The 84 day is good average wise, but I have some go quicker and some more. Got Gorilla Glue girls by FastBuds on week 13 and no Amber trichomes yet, lol. Never know with these auto's, but love growing them.
Yeah we have noticed swings, and some genetics like mephisto always tend to be on the faster side 70-80 day finish. But most seem at or close to 84 days. Some do just take longer, if its the strain or genetics or some issue over the grow. Autos! lol We love em too tho! 💚
That's what's up 👊 So question, if I have an auto and a photo in the same tent and I want to switch the photo into flower, will it make a huge impact on my auto?
We don't recommend a light schedule with an auto to be less then 18/6 for it to perform best. But an auto will grow in Any Amount of light. We have not experimented personally with a light schedule of 12/12. If you do- please let us know. We love seeing experiments 😍
Great video Great info 👍
Thanks for watching!
Love you guys. Great content. ;)
Love the content keep it up.
Glad you enjoy it we appreciate ya! 💯
I’m looking to grow what all soils do y’all use ?
We have a new grow vid dropping today, or we have some other mixes we've tried in our other grow series. ❤🤙
Absolutely right if you stun a auto you have missed your opportunity. I've neglected photos until I thought they were DEAD and brought them back to life and still got good harvest.lol
I do 24/7 light for autoflowers
If you guys put a seedling in the tent with a few flowering plants, do you find it goes ok having the same light intensity and height?
If you watch our 4x4 or 5x5 setup videos we do have lights on each side since we run all in the same tent, the seedling sides light is usually turned down around 35-50% bloom side is higher.
@@Highigan ahhh ok I didn't even think of that. I have just one light in a 3x3 but wanna try anyway. Or leave seedlings outside and pray nothing hitchhikes into the grow after an essential oils pest spray.
@@zentatonic if you place the seedling at the edge of the tent they will get less light intensity you can even put them under larger plants to "shield" them from direct light if it's to powerful
@@Highigan Great idea thanks. I only got my tent 3 weeks ago, so this info saves me time from screwing around haha
Do you guys also use the bloom for down to earth? If so, what ratios have you have the best luck with? Been looking into that brand.
Once they get how important light depp is . Leaks all that it makes no odds. Autos are very good now but im a energy saver. 12 12
PHOTOs all day PHOTOPERIODs💯🌿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇬🇧
I am a new grower too. I personally enjoy both! I think too maybe certain plants may be better for different time of the year for the grower. Like personally I tend to be more busy in the summer than in the winter so I think for me autos make more sense in the warm months and during the cold months when I have more time to tend to the plants I like the photos.
Totally agree! Autos are less maintenance and easier to handle since they do not get as big!
What if you flip the light schedule to slow down auto growth?
18 off, 6 on? Has anyone tried that? Or will it just grow weaker flowers?
What is best for a new grower..... learn to grow a house plant ....
Yeah I veg my photos and I always put my autos with my photo veg plants this way still have photos in veg and auto-flowers going and photos
I think thats what alot of people do, but you have 2 tents im guessing?
@@Highigan I have 7 grow tents member I told u both that awhile ago
Lmfao oh geez insane 🤣
U follow my Instagram post and stuff I have 2 4×4 grow tents a 4×8 2 2×4 grow tents a 2×2 and a 8×8 grow tent coming from Amazon can't wait going to pack it with auto flowers and 5 viparspactra 4000
Yeah I love to grow I am cleaning my dad's old paintball shop out it's 180 foot by 100 foot
I'm growing my first auto and as the pistols start, I panicked and in 12/12 flowering rm
Kathleen with autos just leave them on 18/6 minimum the whole grow! No need to change lights! They will pop pistils on their own and all plants are different! Thats what makes them autoflowering! They do that without light change!
Hello, how do i know if i have autos or photos?
is it true that auto's will not produce the rosin yeild %s as high as photos? old school hydro grower here would love to get a plant done/chopped in 84 days lol. bet it would be even faster in my ebb and grow
We have had some very frosty autos, that being said, yield typically not as high as a photo but that turn around time makes up for it! Try some and let us know what ya think! They are fun!
@@Highigan any recommended seed banks/breeders? for autos
@@mikec3820 we have had great success with homegrown cannabis co, pretty much all the plants you have seen grown so far from this channel have been from them. We tried to order from seedsman which we have heard good things about but we never received our order and lost over 200$ so we will never be ordering from them again...
@@Highigan cool thanks guys. never heard of the homegrown one. ill check it out. i have heard similar good/bad things about seedsman. i got alien gg #4 (f) from cropkingseeds this yr fast delivery time and only one seed didnt make it by my own fault i think tbh. i hear good things about north atlantic seed co too. being im on the east coast i was looking for close places this yr due to all the mail delays
@@Highigan that sucks to hear about Seedsman. I'd be pissed too. I'm sure you're happy with your current seed bank because your trees look fire. I'll give them a try in the future.
Seedsman ships to a hub in Maine from the UK and if it happened to pass through the Chicago USPS terminal at any point on the way to you, which is highly likely, then that might explain it because they are notorious for confiscating shit and not sending you a notice until months later or not at all, which has happened to me countless times in the past before cannabis was widely accepted. Something to note - any forwarded delivery with USPS are not permissible and will more than likely be intercepted.
I'm pretty sure they would try to make it right and possibly double your order and give you freebies, judging from customer reviews in the past.. I would imagine with you guys being content creators they would want to redeem themselves to save face. I ordered from Seedsman and received my seeds in about 17 days time to Virginia from Europe with no buyers insurance. I received my tracking info 14 days after purchase and they arrived 3 days later on a Saturday. 100% germination rate.
Sorry you had a bad experience. I'm not affiliated with Seedsman, just a new grower who has watched just about every one of your videos trying to soak in information so I can hit the ground running.
Is your dehumidifier good?
Still kickin, check my 2x4 tent setup vid for links and info on the one I use!
@@Highigan thanks, I will
Do autos need higher humidity like the photos do?
During seedling and veg you can run higher RH, since we run perpetual autos all in the same tent, we usually just try and keep around 50%rh all the time since we have plants ranging from seedling to late flower all in the same area.
@@Highigan Thanks, so I'm in Houston area the RH is about 57 percent. I have seedlings that are auto and a zkittles feminized that has about 2 weeks left. Is that RH ok for the both of them, I don't want to mess up the final stage of zkittles since this is my first grow. And thanks I like y'alls videos, especially the one that mentions the 3 gallon vs 5 gallon pots. I feel the 5 gallon is to much and wasteful, gonna try 3 gallon next.
NEW SUB GREAT INFO! I'M ON MY FIRST GROW
Thank you! Appreciate it fam! 🙏
Cool 😉Going to try my first autos here soon.
SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE
i have recently taken some clones within the last 7 days and used clonex rooting gel, soaked the rockwool cubes in water with nitrogen, potassium and CalMag ....
the roots have just started to take off (i just re-dipped them in gel)
yet, the bottom fan leaves are going yellow and dying at a rapid rate!
somebody please explain what is happening and if they know a quick/efficient fix!
Muchly appreciated 😅
You guy gotta team up and share your two tents one veg one bloom you can keep mothers and save phenotypes you discover popping seeds
autos all the way baby..😎😎😎
YOU KNOW IT FAM!
@@Highigan 🙌 a pleasure
Autos are harder for beginners. Less room for error. Photos give you more recovery time and allow you to control when they flow. Also there is no significant time gain with auto vs photo. Experienced growers can actually have photos finish as fast or faster than autos.
Nice video
Thanks
I grow photos in 3 months 1 month veg and 2 months flower
I had a auto mazar went 120 days
The one thing you never mentioned was yield differences.
NICE REGULARES 🤫😇
Photos 📷
Photo fammmm! We will be doing them again someday! Maybe a 3rd tent! lol
Auto is like giving a job to someone and they HAVE to produce a product in so many days… a photo is a job you give someone with way more forgiveness.. if the person has a problem on the job they have time to fix and correct… so you tell me what better for a beginner a job on a time frame or a job with flexibility 🤷♂️… also photos are better bargain for the price.. you can clone 1 seed over and over to produce pounds from 1 seed
for a beginner autos are definitely not ideal. For a beginner one of the most common issues are watering practices. most recommendations suggest not transplanting autos which for beginners again watering practices come into play watering a small plant in a large pot. since autos flower around day 30 improper watering can stunt plant. since autos flower so soon a stunted plant will ruin the grow. if you do grow autos first start in beginner pots allowing you to water pot completely, lifting pot before and after each watering to start judging pot weight dry vs watered. that'll help future watering. transplant into finishing pot week 3 or day 21 from sprout. plants have been growing at night for millions of years. unless you have a subpar light plants will droop around 16 or 18 hours signifying their light fullness. if they cant use the light why waste 6 hours of electricity. imo you use the same equipment, nutrients, time, and money to grow both photos and autos. difference is half a plant referring to autos. same effort, time, and money to grow both but you'll grow half the weed using autos. granted you can up your plant count using autos to cover the lost bud but now you're using more effort, time, and money to grow the same amount of weed just to grow autos. a beginner should start with photoperiods. unless a grower can take a healthy plant into and through flower everything else is irrelevant. growing photos allows you time to become educated, while your plant vegges. get a quality soil you'll literally just have to water and get run off readings studying your plant, medium of choice and be given the opportunity to dial in your setup. autos better have everything perfect for 100 days. from seed to harvest. with all that said I believe autos have a place within a grow if used properly. I personally run autos 8 to 12 plants at a time perpetually outdoors while I use my tents and closets for photoperiods.
its a matter of perception really
Agree completely, its really up to your needs and what works for your area, space for us is an issue right now so autos have a smaller grow space requirement!
Keep up the good work guys!! I would love to follow u on insta aswell and exchange opinions if u want to too :)
@@spacedrifter756 Give us a follow on IG! @Highigan! Your account bday must be set to 21+ to view!
Shit I just grew 2 autos seed to harvest in 60 days and yes they were ready.
Why are the closed captions in korean
Photos for sure, way more recovery time
7:30 you said photo twice in guessing you mean auto for the second example.
Cat tail in the background like a shark fin .... dunuh....dunuh....
hahaha tryin to get in that tent! LOL
On a photo u can repair nearly every mistake but on an auto not. If a beginner makes mistakes on an auto, it's done, no chance to repair, it will bloom, sure but with horrible small yields.
On a photo you can fix anything and still get a huge harvest.
For beginners? No autos...
I also use the first cut of an auto, after 2/3 weeks, to grow a single bud beside the actual ladies
For experienced or for autdoor, autos make sense... the yield will always be less than on photos🤷🏻♂️
autos are only a good deal for the breeders wallet. that's why they push it that engaged....😉
Green greetings from the south-east of Germany ✌🏻🖖🏻🥦
Great tips and you are right autos you really get one shot to nail it, we are getting better every grow but over all even with our mistakes we are yielding enough for our personal needs! Thanks for the tips we are getting better than learning something new ever grow! 🙏💚
@@Highigan sure, learning is a job for the lifetime. I really enjoy your videos, there are not much with that content in german, also TH-cam and others big ones are going to extinct while people realise how they fool, poison and manipulate us.

Have you grown photos yet? With those viparspectra lights you got now you would see rapid growth. Also autos do not depend on photosynthesis so grow those fuckers 24hrs lights on or 20/4. You'll get bigger plants.
But 100% truth is, photos produce way better pot then autos.
Oh yeah I run 20/4 for our autos, we know the yield is lower but the fast turn around lets us harvest 4 plants a month with out perpetual grow all in one tent!
