High again in France ^^ bonjour a vous deux ^^ please y Will try to grow auto for the second time y have à grow room with 720watt bloom led light so m'y question is how much power can y give to m'y auto (ppfd or dli ) thx actually m'y light is at 60cm from canopy at 50%in veg
You two are the first ones I've ever seen clone an auto. Everyone says you cant but I watched yall do it lol. That's called haveing fun . Great job guys. Love yall.
No topping. LST is the way to go. Tie them babies down. Expose them nodes. I get 4-6 oz per plant. Topping puts you behind early in the grow. Great video!
Thank you for these videos. I've been looking for a passionate hobby every since my fiance passed away. I found peace in cannabis. Both in it's consumption and in its grow. I love this!!!! Of course I'm just starting out and on a budget grow. I chose to grow autos because of all the bad press I heard on them. Because of your channel I've grown confident and passionate about auto flowers!!!??
One thing you'll realize is all of the greatest growers have made every one of these mistakes and that's why they're great at it. 😉 Keep growing! You guys are awesome!
Good info for a newer aspiring grower like me. Did my first seasonal outdoor grow from last march on until October and liked the process and my modest 8 oz four plant crop so much I decided to set up for autoflowers between seasonal outdoor grows and will be trying your tips out for sure. Lots of mistakes for both the outdoor and autoflower grows but also lots of learning and fun along the way as well. I will get my green thumb going in time but in the meantime even so I am enjoying growing, harvesting smoking and sharing the green from my modest success so far. I will definitely share your channel with the friends in my little growing message group. Good stuff you guys keep the vids coming.
Thank you, just started my first grow here in MN got everything set up in a 4x2. Got 3 auto in there now. Just on day 1. The gal I got the seeds from told me not to germinate the seeds. If they don’t sprout I will be germinating them next time! Thank you for giving me the courage to try at home! Love your videos very informative and helpful!
Top the first 4 - 5 branches as in as it gets taller Top that new side branch and tie those branches down 20 main Tops + and use the biggest pot you can fit in the area ,small pots are just saying NO to yield a good AIRY soil/medium so you can feed more often/water and adjust if over or under your desired ppm , the reason i say Airy Soil is because in there natural environment the ground they grow in is all new leaf litter and branches and other plant matter breaking down and has a lot of space between the medium and other parts of the medium , Cannabis has generally a shallow root zone because of this.
I grow with dry organic amendments, and you guys are right. Once you see a deficiency, it's too late. So what I started doing was brewing tea every week, especially after top-feeding my girls. That way, you will rarely have any deficiencies....Also, you want to add water to the plant saucers underneath your plants once they're 5 to 7 inches tall. That way, your roots will go deeper into your pot, looking for water. That's what leads to bigger plants.
Love that! Great tips! We are just getting into compost teas for exactly that reason! What's your go to recipe for teas? Switch em up with veg and flower I'm guessing? And we do water from the bottom! Thanks for the comment! 💚
@@Highigan You're welcome! I use boogie brew tea part A & B, Recharge, liquid kelp, molasses, and mammoth P (every Sunday). Then on Thursday's I feed them Power Si up to week 7 of flower.
Right us too! Its the minerals from hard water. An evaporative humidifier does not produce the mineral dust like an ultrasonic humidifier does. The dust is not harmful it's just unsightly and annoying!
The dust although not toxic to the plant can greatly reduce the photosynthesis of light to leaf, if you are not deep into flower I would advise tilting the plant and rinse of with plain ph'ed water to restore full photosynthesis.
I enjoy y’all’s Chanel it is awesome. Unfortunately I can’t smoke due to my job but I like to watch videos like yours that offer a lot of encouragement to prospective growers. My retirement is not far off then I can smoke !!!
Hi guys love your Channel. I left you a comment about a month ago I think it's hilarious that I didn't associate the name of your channel to your location and actually told you that I was from Michigan LOL keep up the good work
84 day rule...I like that. As for 9 weeks, I agree. The Zkittlez was in veg for 5 weeks and flowering for 8 weeks. And the GDP's and Gelato, 2 weeks of veg about and 8-9 weeks of flower. So 10-14 weeks depending on the strain. Good tips.
run compost teas' with your autos and you can correct very fast when your using dry organic amendments, i run my autos in coco, growth is insane vs pro mix, i've found it best to just leaf tuck till the start to stretch then i leaf pick, then at the end of stretch i leaf pick again, they usually always grow into 4 foot bushes.
@@Highigan my autos are in my nursery video's check out what my tea does to them when you get a minute. i think they grow very well. hope you had a great weekend
@@katjoy9921 im growing 3 cream manadrin xl's from seedsman and a mystery auto. Dutch passions where I've had the best results though. They have plants that all pretty much look the same when you drop 3 beans you get 3 replicas pretty much. Helps with space a ton having things grow uinform everytime.
👍 I read your comment and I do the same for training. Take a few minutes and read my comment above yours. I have really focused on auto growing for years in Coco just like you. My tips or lessons learned could help you. I actually have had a 1lbs nugs only ( strain was important, GG#4 from i49 and Herbieshead shop seeds. Herbieshead shop, auto mix pack 3 strains, 5 beans per equals 15 quality high THC, plus you get 3 free beans of your choice.....drum roll 18 seeds for $82 USD....best reliable quality auto seeds out there for the price.👍
I'm an outside hobby grower in SoCal....I tried an auto Tangerine Dream grow next to my other plants....it was late in the season so it only grew like 12" tall before it started flowering....nice strain...fun to watch race to the finish line....I just let it go...do whatever it does....well...it turned hermaphrodite...."hermy" and dropped seeds into its pot....one grew....grew bigger than the plant...and flowered again....fun to watch...I keep my plants small...like around 5-6 feet....just enough for a years smoke...maybe i'll grow more autos someday...but to me...they are indoor plants....
they are definitely much much better indoors because you can give them 24hrs of lite and there fine with it. Can't beat the sun but ya cant do that outdoors lol. I wish
Im about to start growing autoflowers for the first time in over 10 years and in that time I received a brain injury now I have to relearn all about growing again, im worried I won't be able to achieve success but im going to give it a try again! Thanks for the inspiration to start up again much appreciation from Australia 🇦🇺
I find DWC ends up with more consistent excellent results. People say that DWC is complicated, but I find it easier. You just pH the water, measure your fertilizer for the water, change the water every two weeks and you don’t have to read the plants very much. Once the plants are big I do top off the water every two days. You end up with at least twice the yield of organically grown plants.
Hello! I love watching you guys. I am a new grower. My question is what is the brown powder stuff that you put in the pot on top of the topsoil and pour water on it during the vegetative stage?
Always check trichomes with a microscope 10 to 20% amber is to my liking any further than that and THC starts to rapidly degrade it doesn’t matter what the strain or if it’s auto flower or how long the plants have been growing this is the benchmark standard for all Marijuana plants to a healthy ripe harvest.
84 Days for an auto sounds about right.👌 3 to 4 weeks of vegetative growth, and 8 to 9 weeks of flower development. Never grew an auto, but it reminds me of doing a 12/12 from sprout with a photoperiod
Yeah and it works bomb for our perpetual all in one tent, just plant 4 a mo, chop ,4 since we can grow 12 plants here, it's perfect for us! And supply's more than enough to keep us goin 🔥💨
Sounds about right? No it doesnt sound about right. All auto strains have a pre determined life cycle from start to finish depending on the photperiod strain they crossed with the ruderallis strain. It.could be 50 days. It could be 90 days. It depends on the autoflower strain
To much watering doesn't let the roots grow down and out to find moisture. You do need to let seedlings stay moist with small doses of water, but then allow those roots to travel farther for what they want.
I’m also a dry fertilizer person, If y’all don’t already use it, try rejuvalac (sprouted seed tea) and coconut water. I mix 20cc of each in 2 quarts of water in my earthbox reservoir. I just picked up some top dressing for the first time I’m gonna make some test tea’s (lol say that out loud! Didn’t intend for that). I have a Mephisto Illuminauto #51 going and it’s only 17 days old at 5 nodes. Topping soon as it stretches enough to clip it. Just found yall liking the content for sure.
Foliar feed autos, the nutrient uptake is faster.. Focus on maintaining healthy soil and on foliar feeds during veg.. Spray compost tea, coconut water, etc. and have organic liquid nute on site to combat deficiencies quickly(you don't need a heavy dose, just quick uptake).. Probably be spray every 3 days.. This is just an idea, I have tried this but that's what I'll be ready for.
I'm a new grower myself and I have run 1 batch of autoflowers so far but I definitely agree with the training thing cuz I didn't train and my plants and they got way to tall which was giving me problems cuz I can only raise my light so high but def do LST!!
Some beast out way harder! We do like topping even tho most people recommend against it, we have seen good results doing it early in life! Never know unless ya try and we over here goin mad scientist 👩🔬👨🔬🧪✂🌱🤣
I just finished 8, 2 plants of 4 dif strains a while ago and I topped 1 of each strain and clearly an early top way out performed the not topped. I've only used growers choice seeds for 2 auto runs bout to start 3rd
So you guys confirmed my suspicion on why my two autos are completely different. Same grow environment, same nutes. One Just decided to stretch to the moon 🌚 and the other was short and bushy. I thought they were different genetics one being a sativa and another being a indica but I think you guys are correct.
Organic nutrients are tricky especially top amendments they take longer for the plant to process so a common mistake is feeding your plants and 2 or 3 days no visible results so you feed some more and then the next day or two you wake up check your plants and their burnt and darker green than Astro turf when using organic dry amendments you have to be patient give it at least a week for the plant to break it down then you’ll see results.
Another way to rid the minerals from the humidifier, you can put one of those camper in line filters on any of your taps and it will remove those minerals...
I used to work for a hydroponic grow store.... Number One Advice: *STOP MESSING WITH YOUR PLANTS* less is more No topping...LST only....lollipop the bottom 20% at week 3 of flower. Start with *tall* pots and layer in 30% bloom soil in the bottom of the pot, 50% veg soil above that, and 20% coco/worm castings on top.
Less is more! We are trying to find our groove so we have just been experimenting! Def might try that mix soon tho in an up coming grow series! Love it! Thanks for the tips! 💚
I have done a lot of autos, only auto that I’ve notice can handle more than 1 top is the northern lights auto. I topped her 4 times and she never stopped growing.
Does help esp if its an ultrasonic humidifier. I got a new evaporative humidifier unit, zero issues with straight tap water, no more white dust or residue, straight from the tap to the unit, love it!
Yeah that's when we start counting, sometimes they don't make it or take days to pop up, so we always start the count on the day we see its out of the soil! Write that date on your plant name tag so you can know when it started! Helps down the road!
Thanks guys, have you tried playing music to them, sounds crazy but it's a game changer, I use stuff like Positive Energy Music on TH-cam I listen to it myself and I even feel a lot better, try it and see.
Nutrients is definitely something to play by book and watch closely. I was growing some gorilla cookies auto, and I overfed while in flower and she turned brown so fast within two days. She packed on so nice, gave a little discouragement but that was my first and last lesson on nutrients 😂
@@jhonwayne1003 you need a chart for each individual strain if you want to do it right. Best you pick a strain and learn to work with it. Try Bruce Banner Auto. It's a real powerful,vigorous plant with strong smoke, great yield. They do get big though if on 24 hr light in veg.
Used distilled water for humidifier. One I purchased actually recommends. They also have tabs that look like alka-seltzer that clean out the mineral build up. Of course pull out the grow room when running the cleaning tabs through it.
I was sent 20 GSK Extreme autos by mistake (instead of photos) so this will be my first venture into growing autos. Never liked the idea of them but people seem to grow massive buds with them...
@@johnnysanchez4996 It depends on a number of things: medium, pot size, whether indoor or out, light intensity. As for autoflower benefits; no need to worry about light leaks, you don't need as much input to get great results, and generally faster turnaround. Photos have autos beat when it comes to yield and the ability to take clones, plus the option to reveg and fix problems as they arise.
My very first grow was gold leaf from ILGM and one of them got to 5 1/2' before I had to high stress train it 2 weeks into flower. Took the top and bent it 90 degrees. Yielded almost 350g from that one.
Idk if yall have tried. But as far as dry amendments and seeing something a tad late on a plant you can make a tea with said amendments/castings/compost and recharge is something awesome to have on hand. Loving your Content. Going through some oldies :))
My first auto went 130+ days. It was a white widow and came out great but took a long time. Got 5.3 ounces of dry bud off it. Why do you say not to go more than 85days? I dont understand. If its not done its not done. Thanks good video and i like what you two do
I don’t grow auto’s very often but I’ve ran delicious seeds dark devil a couple times and it’s been crazy consistent all very purple almost black I’m actually running some right now they’re definitely worth sliding into the lineup
Gunna have to look into those, we have a panama red started thats going like that! Leaves, buds, super dark purp almost black! Can't wait to see how she finished out! You will see in an upcoming grow video!
I actually just chopped a dark devil at day 6o! Not sure why she finished so early. But I still have two running and they are at 65 but still have cloudy trichs. All dark purp. Just beautiful. I love sweet seeds the red family.
@@Highigan I do not have an insta any more but I am sure I can find yours. I live the purple cultivars. They're my favorite. Where were the Panama red genetics from?
Love the video guys. But when using dry amendments you can supplement with compost teas while waiting that week for the amendments to break down. That way your not playing catch up as much.
We are just starting to dive into compost teas, something we were not doing before, so far results have been great! We will cover it in the upcoming grow series as they progress! Great comment and tip! We learnin! 💚💚
@@Highigan the way I like to use my compost tea’s is kinda like a fuel to a fire with the soil being my fire. The amendments are more like the wood. The wood burns great when you add it to the fire, but a little compost tea to fuel the fire can really help. But be careful not to add too much “fuel” to the fire because then it can become explosive or uncontrollable and it will be too hot for the plant to handle. Have fun guys!!!
Heaven, I need permission to hit on your husband rq; why does Neil look so good rn? lmao! Great video, y'all. Love your stuff. Been creepin for a while. ;)
We have noticed better genetics like mephisto, night owl, ethos give much more consistent results. There will always be some level of variation with phenos and autos since you are always popping beans, but quality genetics definitely give better results!
Did you ever have an Auto that didn't Flower when all the others did ? I guess again it's genetics ... I had to flip the switch on it with the other autos in the tent because I only have one tent (2x4) and it was getting bigger than the others. Once I flipped it started to flower. But here's my question .. can I flip back to 18 -6 or just keep it at 12-12 ?
hey just use Synetic fertilizer if you see the plant needing food. It will help almost immediately. Then hit them with some recharge and continue your organic gro!!!!!
I completely disagree with cutting the bottom nodes. Personally I find that I can train them to grow out and later in life up for some excellent results, you really got to get a good bend on them to force the plants out and up but it is absolutely worth it.
I've had somewhat mixed results with this, each grow I've done I always have 2 of the same strain from same breeder but I train each differently, one LST only, no deleafing, no topping no cutting off the lower nodes, and one plant I do top and prune etc. Each strain is different, out of 10 strains only 3 actually did better for me with topping etc, glueberry, amnesia haze and northern lights. But that's knowledge gained next time I grow those strains that's why i personally do it. Overall I like LST for autos better, I'll bend them over at 4" and work them to the edge of the pot and keep wiring them down around the edge of the pot, the amount of main colas becomes fantastic.
Doing my first Auto run of GDP and its day 77 from seed and these girls arent even CLOSE to being ready to chop haha. I got super jealous when you said yeah 84 days max usually.
Half of these things you DO do if your looking to do micro grows(for us occasional puff puffers) Still trying to grow the smallest plant possible. Believe it or not it’s hard to do!
I wish I could show you a pic of my clone that was about 15-18" high and gave me about 1/4 ounce. It was all an accident of putting a clone I bought out in May before the daylight was long enough and it flowering a little, then keeping it alive and it flowered for real in the fall. But it never grew much beyond its original size.
I remove the bottom nodes too.. sometimes the second set is weak looking also.. but that 3rd node is gonna make some beast colas.. so I keep those and above
@@Highigan since the life of autos is cut so short, i feel its best to remve inferior growth.. it could be trained and later used.. but the plant is wasting energy to keep those branches alive that could be going to stregthenin stems and producing more nodes that are higher up in the light footprint.. this is just my 2 pesos on the subject. Love the content tho! Just found you guys and subbed. Thanks for sharing!
I start auto seeds in a 16oz cup w soil for first 8 days then they go into 3gallon grow bags of coco w 10% soil for microbiology. R/o water, don't let dry out (can't overwater in coco:) ph6.3 to 6.6 (gets to uptake different nutes and prevents all deficiencies). I also use extra calcium since it's in coco, and I use a thinner calcium because it will clog the coco if you use bone meal. I use demeter's destiny. If you use it in coco you'll never stop
I dig ya'lls vibe. Thanks for the video, gonna check your others out, especially the grows. I want to start a Blue Dream grow, thinking about auto for my first grow.
Thanks fam! We love the autos fast turn around and explosive growth! They can be challenging to start with but mastering them will lead to you being able to grow photos that much better! They are fun!
I took an auto flower it then put it outside revenge it just started flowering last week again...ran same strain indoor flushing it this week ..90days the one outside its 3 times the size .
Whether you're growing autos or regular seeds you will always have more than one phenotype in your crop just the tip for you newbies life's an adventure keep growing
Of course, but quality genetics vs some of these large seed banks, the consistency and quality of the plants is wildly different at least what we have seen. like mephisto beans are very consistent, compared to homegrown cannabis co where every bean looks like a completely different plant
@@Highigan With smaller operations like Mephisto, obviously the quality control can be maximized in contrast with a larger operation. It's like comparing filet mignon to a skirt steak. One is considered gourmet, and the other a cheaper cut. But hey, good cooks can do wonders with 'cheap' cuts of meat. And yeah, as you mentioned in the video, autoflowers are still being refined and tamed for greater consistency. Personally, I prefer fems to autos overall for various reasons. Great video y'all 💚
Guess itd be hard to pinpoint with so many variables but I'm 5 grows in now as well with autos and I havent had a single run ready in that time frame. Every grow for me has been 100-115 days from seed to harvest. Mephisto, 420 fastbuds, expert seeds, Barneys farm etc, all the same so far.
Interesting considering I'm currently growing some autos by 420 fastbuds that are meant to finish up in 56-63 days. I wonder what will happen to them. Currently around 20 days into the grow
@@danielfleming4066 hey :) thanks for the follow up. So that run of seeds/plants was a total fuck up on my behalf. Rushed into it and fucked my soil mix up. Waaaaay too much coco coir and not enough of much else so the soil became too dense in the pots after only a few waterings/feedings. This led to nutrient lock and suffocating dwarf plants. I let one of the gorilla punch plants finish up fully from it's extremely stunted full height of around 4 or 5 inches tall. I let both gorilla punch finish but one was significantly fatter than the other. Although it was tiny and it pretty much just produced one very fat nug, it was beautiful! Would definitely grow gorilla punch properly if given the chance again and I would recommend it to new growers. It's genetics put up with so much noob abuse that her heritage deserves some reparations! 😂😂 I saw what I had I done wrong with these little ones and learnt from it for the next seed. Luckily around the time of this run I also planted a seed of candy Kush by Autoseeds into 3 gallons of a very healthy alive soil mix I prepared myself. I did this because I realized what my problem was. I LST'd the Candy kush at around week 4 and it produced over 2 oz from one plant. It did end up with around 30 colas on it though. No SCROG net used. Just a fuck load of strong colas holding their heads up high. So the candy Kush plant grew well. When you are a newbie like me it's all about getting the basics 100% correct first (hint:putting the seed or seedling into decent soil is a good place to start!). I currently have a free seed from 420 fastbuds (gorilla cookies) in it's 5th week. It is growing beautifully in only a 5 litre pot. So far so good bro but those first couple plants struggled! Edit: spelling Second edit: you might be interested to know that even though the gorilla punch plants were nutrient locked for most of their lives, they both finished up EXACTLY when they were advertised to! That's the weirdest part. Even though these girls were only a couple inches high they stuck to their genetic clock like an atom! Bang on 8 weeks they were finished (even though they were tiny!). So even when some plants go through extreme stress or extreme lack of nutrients/oxygen etc. for ages they can still somehow keep perfect track of time. The two gorilla punch plants looks weirdly healthy when finished too. Just such a shame they were so tiny!!!!
Try regular beans or female beans. Clones are the best for a set schedule. After your 2nd grow everything should be dialed in and it runs like clockwork.
I'm using mostly dry Amendments. Cottonseed meal and blood meal for nitrogen during vegetative, bone meal for phosphorus calcium and magnesium plus sum muriate of potash during flowering. I say mostly dry because I desolve the potash in water before applying it.
84 & out the door i wish.. haha... ive got one thats seriously 147 days old & its almost done now. the seedbank said 55-60 days . i have to admit i almost killed it over watering it & had to repot it so not all the breeders problem . I love autos but OMG they are a challenge
Yeah we have noticed what slows them the most is our own mistakes, that's usually the "special circumstances" we were talking about. If you do something to stunt it early on, it will usually take longer to finish out! We learnin! 🙏💚
it only took me 3 grow seasons to switch back to photoperiods, you can clones them and autos have gotten a lot more potent but still they don't compare to the potency of photos, can veg photos longer too for people that like huge plants, autos are only good to fill in space in your tent if you have a little bit of room in the corner of the tent to me... plus yields are just better with photos

I don't like ato flowers
Try growing the mac1 strain it's a really interesting strain and it's rare it's a slow grower but the bud is amazing you can reach up to 34%thc
High again in France ^^ bonjour a vous deux ^^ please y Will try to grow auto for the second time y have à grow room with 720watt bloom led light so m'y question is how much power can y give to m'y auto (ppfd or dli ) thx actually m'y light is at 60cm from canopy at 50%in veg
100-300 par for seedlings, 300-650 par for veg, 600-1050 par for flower, over 1000 par you should use CO2 sublimation
You two are the first ones I've ever seen clone an auto. Everyone says you cant but I watched yall do it lol. That's called haveing fun . Great job guys. Love yall.
Something's not right if they are cloning an auto it doesn't work like. Not everything on the internet is true
Literally no one says you can't do it...... They say it's not worth it
Bill Ward been cloning autos for a long time...
No topping. LST is the way to go. Tie them babies down. Expose them nodes. I get 4-6 oz per plant. Topping puts you behind early in the grow. Great video!
How early do you start? I’m 4 weeks into my first grow and wanted to do it early on but was afraid to ruin the plants haha
@@chrisjackson2821 you can start from 3 week
100% agree with autos the lower the stress the better.
Leaf tucking works to
Agreed
Thanks for the great content. Nice to see 2 people on one show not talking over each other.
Thank you for these videos. I've been looking for a passionate hobby every since my fiance passed away. I found peace in cannabis. Both in it's consumption and in its grow. I love this!!!! Of course I'm just starting out and on a budget grow. I chose to grow autos because of all the bad press I heard on them.

Good info for a newer aspiring grower like me. Did my first seasonal outdoor grow from last march on until October and liked the process and my modest 8 oz four plant crop so much I decided to set up for autoflowers between seasonal outdoor grows and will be trying your tips out for sure.

🤣🤣 Maybe its a Michigan thing
Thank you, just started my first grow here in MN got everything set up in a 4x2. Got 3 auto in there now. Just on day 1. The gal I got the seeds from told me not to germinate the seeds. If they don’t sprout I will be germinating them next time! Thank you for giving me the courage to try at home! Love your videos very informative and helpful!
Top the first 4 - 5 branches as in as it gets taller Top that new side branch and tie those branches down 20 main Tops + and use the biggest pot you can fit in the area ,small pots are just saying NO to yield a good AIRY soil/medium so you can feed more often/water and adjust if over or under your desired ppm , the reason i say Airy Soil is because in there natural environment the ground they grow in is all new leaf litter and branches and other plant matter breaking down and has a lot of space between the medium and other parts of the medium , Cannabis has generally a shallow root zone because of this.
I grow with dry organic amendments, and you guys are right. Once you see a deficiency, it's too late. So what I started doing was brewing tea every week, especially after top-feeding my girls. That way, you will rarely have any deficiencies....Also, you want to add water to the plant saucers underneath your plants once they're 5 to 7 inches tall. That way, your roots will go deeper into your pot, looking for water. That's what leads to bigger plants.
Love that! Great tips! We are just getting into compost teas for exactly that reason! What's your go to recipe for teas? Switch em up with veg and flower I'm guessing? And we do water from the bottom! Thanks for the comment! 💚
@@Highigan You're welcome! I use boogie brew tea part A & B, Recharge, liquid kelp, molasses, and mammoth P (every Sunday). Then on Thursday's I feed them Power Si up to week 7 of flower.
What type of deficiency is too late? Deficency has varieties ,
I think
try well aged leaf mold tea......made with coffee grinds and eggs shells in the leaves...... that's all you need@@Highigan
i was freaking out cleaning for days before i realized it was my water and humidifier. ty guys for sharing
Right us too! Its the minerals from hard water. An evaporative humidifier does not produce the mineral dust like an ultrasonic humidifier does. The dust is not harmful it's just unsightly and annoying!
The dust although not toxic to the plant can greatly reduce the photosynthesis of light to leaf, if you are not deep into flower I would advise tilting the plant and rinse of with plain ph'ed water to restore full photosynthesis.
Randomly stumbled on this as a rookie grower. Your vibe is awesome, can’t wait to check out more videos!
I enjoy y’all’s Chanel it is awesome. Unfortunately I can’t smoke due to my job but I like to watch videos like yours that offer a lot of encouragement to prospective growers. My retirement is not far off then I can smoke !!!
Love that! Gunna be ready to grow your own! Its a fun hobby! Thanks for watching fam! 🙌💚
Thank you guys for the knowledge. You just made this new Ohio grower a little bit better!

Hi guys love your Channel. I left you a comment about a month ago I think it's hilarious that I didn't associate the name of your channel to your location and actually told you that I was from Michigan LOL keep up the good work
Ayy MichiFAM! 🙌💚
I like how she made her nail polish color different on the one finger. That's hot!
💅💚
84 day rule...I like that. As for 9 weeks, I agree. The Zkittlez was in veg for 5 weeks and flowering for 8 weeks. And the GDP's and Gelato, 2 weeks of veg about and 8-9 weeks of flower. So 10-14 weeks depending on the strain. Good tips.

run compost teas' with your autos and you can correct very fast when your using dry organic amendments, i run my autos in coco, growth is insane vs pro mix, i've found it best to just leaf tuck till the start to stretch then i leaf pick, then at the end of stretch i leaf pick again, they usually always grow into 4 foot bushes.
Yes! We just started dabbling in teas! Can't wait to see the results 🙌😍
@@Highigan my autos are in my nursery video's check out what my tea does to them when you get a minute. i think they grow very well. hope you had a great weekend
What strain are you growing? Not very many autos I have grown make it over 3 feet.
@@katjoy9921 im growing 3 cream manadrin xl's from seedsman and a mystery auto. Dutch passions where I've had the best results though. They have plants that all pretty much look the same when you drop 3 beans you get 3 replicas pretty much. Helps with space a ton having things grow uinform everytime.
👍 I read your comment and I do the same for training. Take a few minutes and read my comment above yours. I have really focused on auto growing for years in Coco just like you. My tips or lessons learned could help you. I actually have had a 1lbs nugs only ( strain was important, GG#4 from i49 and Herbieshead shop seeds. Herbieshead shop, auto mix pack 3 strains, 5 beans per equals 15 quality high THC, plus you get 3 free beans of your choice.....drum roll 18 seeds for $82 USD....best reliable quality auto seeds out there for the price.👍
I'm an outside hobby grower in SoCal....I tried an auto Tangerine Dream grow next to my other plants....it was late in the season so it only grew like 12" tall before it started flowering....nice strain...fun to watch race to the finish line....I just let it go...do whatever it does....well...it turned hermaphrodite...."hermy" and dropped seeds into its pot....one grew....grew bigger than the plant...and flowered again....fun to watch...I keep my plants small...like around 5-6 feet....just enough for a years smoke...maybe i'll grow more autos someday...but to me...they are indoor plants....
they are definitely much much better indoors because you can give them 24hrs of lite and there fine with it. Can't beat the sun but ya cant do that outdoors lol. I wish
We are a family with dogs, and cats. Love your kittys.
Awe thanks fam! 😻💚
Im about to start growing autoflowers for the first time in over 10 years and in that time I received a brain injury now I have to relearn all about growing again, im worried I won't be able to achieve success but im going to give it a try again! Thanks for the inspiration to start up again much appreciation from Australia 🇦🇺
I find DWC ends up with more consistent excellent results. People say that DWC is complicated, but I find it easier. You just pH the water, measure your fertilizer for the water, change the water every two weeks and you don’t have to read the plants very much. Once the plants are big I do top off the water every two days. You end up with at least twice the yield of organically grown plants.
That humidifier one is one I haven't heard anywhere good catch on that!
Hello! I love watching you guys. I am a new grower. My question is what is the brown powder stuff that you put in the pot on top of the topsoil and pour water on it during the vegetative stage?
Heaven likes roots organic dry amendments. They have a veg blend and the terp tea for flower.
I stick to the 5th node rule, and it's NEVER let me down. Sharp tools, and proper placement in your cut are important.
After you topping at the fifth node. would you get rid of those two top leaves. to let more light exposure in?
Always check trichomes with a microscope 10 to 20% amber is to my liking any further than that and THC starts to rapidly degrade it doesn’t matter what the strain or if it’s auto flower or how long the plants have been growing this is the benchmark standard for all Marijuana plants to a healthy ripe harvest.
84 Days for an auto sounds about right.👌 3 to 4 weeks of vegetative growth, and 8 to 9 weeks of flower development. Never grew an auto, but it reminds me of doing a 12/12 from sprout with a photoperiod
Yeah and it works bomb for our perpetual all in one tent, just plant 4 a mo, chop ,4 since we can grow 12 plants here, it's perfect for us! And supply's more than enough to keep us goin 🔥💨
Sounds about right? No it doesnt sound about right. All auto strains have a pre determined life cycle from start to finish depending on the photperiod strain they crossed with the ruderallis strain. It.could be 50 days. It could be 90 days. It depends on the autoflower strain
@@MurdahBassRecords she done when she done 👌
@@Dab_Marino your done 😂
@@MurdahBassRecords it's YOU'RE 😂
Fellow michigander here! Just saying hey!
Ay MichiFAM! 💚💚🙌
I learned this time if you over water it as a seedling it stunts its growth a lot. At 3 1/2 weeks she's almost 4in tall and has 2 nodes
Yeah to much watering can def effect the plants, stunting early on usually leads to a longer grow or when we see autos going past 84 days.
To much watering doesn't let the roots grow down and out to find moisture. You do need to let seedlings stay moist with small doses of water, but then allow those roots to travel farther for what they want.
Dope vid !!!! About to grow some Hawaiian gold autos
Sounds firreeee! Thanks for watchin fam!
Think ima love this channel. Can't wait to drop some of my videos

I’m also a dry fertilizer person, If y’all don’t already use it, try rejuvalac (sprouted seed tea) and coconut water. I mix 20cc of each in 2 quarts of water in my earthbox reservoir. I just picked up some top dressing for the first time I’m gonna make some test tea’s (lol say that out loud! Didn’t intend for that). I have a Mephisto Illuminauto #51 going and it’s only 17 days old at 5 nodes. Topping soon as it stretches enough to clip it. Just found yall liking the content for sure.
Great information on autos appreciate the input
Foliar feed autos, the nutrient uptake is faster.. Focus on maintaining healthy soil and on foliar feeds during veg.. Spray compost tea, coconut water, etc. and have organic liquid nute on site to combat deficiencies quickly(you don't need a heavy dose, just quick uptake).. Probably be spray every 3 days..
This is just an idea, I have tried this but that's what I'll be ready for.
I may try that! Floraflex sample kit actually comes with 2 foliar feed sprays, I have never tried them tho!
First video ive seen, will have to check out your channel n see what's up
Welcome aboard! 🙏💚
I'm a new grower myself and I have run 1 batch of autoflowers so far but I definitely agree with the training thing cuz I didn't train and my plants and they got way to tall which was giving me problems cuz I can only raise my light so high but def do LST!!
Some beast out way harder! We do like topping even tho most people recommend against it, we have seen good results doing it early in life! Never know unless ya try and we over here goin mad scientist 👩🔬👨🔬🧪✂🌱🤣
I just finished 8, 2 plants of 4 dif strains a while ago and I topped 1 of each strain and clearly an early top way out performed the not topped. I've only used growers choice seeds for 2 auto runs bout to start 3rd
@@Highigan must try stuff for ourselves. Guaranteed.
So you guys confirmed my suspicion on why my two autos are completely different. Same grow environment, same nutes. One Just decided to stretch to the moon 🌚 and the other was short and bushy. I thought they were different genetics one being a sativa and another being a indica but I think you guys are correct.
Which strain went to the moon?
Organic nutrients are tricky especially top amendments they take longer for the plant to process so a common mistake is feeding your plants and 2 or 3 days no visible results so you feed some more and then the next day or two you wake up check your plants and their burnt and darker green than Astro turf when using organic dry amendments you have to be patient give it at least a week for the plant to break it down then you’ll see results.
84 and out the door is good, with the exception of waiting on tricombs to finish ambering.
Typically if they go longer its our own fault for something we did to stunt them 🤣 live n learn!
@@Highigan I experienced that with my Death Star Autos. I guess due to heat.
Another way to rid the minerals from the humidifier, you can put one of those camper in line filters on any of your taps and it will remove those minerals...
Zero water filter gets everything out
I used to work for a hydroponic grow store....
Number One Advice:
*STOP MESSING WITH YOUR PLANTS*
less is more
No topping...LST only....lollipop the bottom 20% at week 3 of flower. Start with *tall* pots and layer in 30% bloom soil in the bottom of the pot, 50% veg soil above that, and 20% coco/worm castings on top.
Less is more! We are trying to find our groove so we have just been experimenting! Def might try that mix soon tho in an up coming grow series! Love it! Thanks for the tips! 💚
Thats quite alot tho XD
The amount of days is cultivar dependant but you should be using a jewellers loop to look at the tricombs
I have done a lot of autos, only auto that I’ve notice can handle more than 1 top is the northern lights auto. I topped her 4 times and she never stopped growing.
The drying process has defeated me 5 times I'm praying this next one will be good
Where do you think you are going wrong? Aim for 60° 50-60% rh. Have a fan circulating air but not pointing at the buds. Avoid humidity
Listen jus hang out in your closet with your normal house ac will take care of everything. 9 to 14 days later. Throw in Grove bags. Done
@@dmo848 I wish it was that simple
You should always use distilled water with any type of humidifier
Does help esp if its an ultrasonic humidifier. I got a new evaporative humidifier unit, zero issues with straight tap water, no more white dust or residue, straight from the tap to the unit, love it!
Sweet vid helped me out as new to this wicked system 4 in and 4 out keeps a good constant supply
I’ve been growing autos for a while and this is spot on
My tip if you're going to use organic dry amendments mix you're soil months in advance or as long as possible. And don't let it dry out!!!
Good idea! We haven't tried that yet! 🙏💚
This was very useful info for a beginner like me. Thanks. For clarification, does the 12 week life cycle start from when they come up out of the soil?
Yeah that's when we start counting, sometimes they don't make it or take days to pop up, so we always start the count on the day we see its out of the soil! Write that date on your plant name tag so you can know when it started! Helps down the road!
I had the same question. Thanks guys.
Thanks guys, have you tried playing music to them, sounds crazy but it's a game changer, I use stuff like Positive Energy Music on TH-cam I listen to it myself and I even feel a lot better, try it and see.
Nutrients is definitely something to play by book and watch closely. I was growing some gorilla cookies auto, and I overfed while in flower and she turned brown so fast within two days. She packed on so nice, gave a little discouragement but that was my first and last lesson on nutrients 😂
We are finding that too, autos can be finicky with nutes and every strain handles them differently! Def a good tip and something to keep in mind!
Wanting to try autos, though I see no feeding charts for them. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
@@jhonwayne1003 you need a chart for each individual strain if you want to do it right. Best you pick a strain and learn to work with it.
Try Bruce Banner Auto. It's a real powerful,vigorous plant with strong smoke, great yield. They do get big though if on 24 hr light in veg.
@@theAussie01 How do you feed though? I used advanced nutrients. I have no clue how to feed and auto. So you’re saying leave my light on 24/7?
@@jhonwayne100318/6 and I do half of what the bottles say. Coco and 20 percent soil mix. 4 foot tall Everytime I try.
Thanks, this information was very spot on with my experience as well. Good job pointing it out!
Used distilled water for humidifier. One I purchased actually recommends. They also have tabs that look like alka-seltzer that clean out the mineral build up. Of course pull out the grow room when running the cleaning tabs through it.
Also rinse out after. I would take the extra step to run one tank to insure the mister jet is cleaned of the tablet also.
I was sent 20 GSK Extreme autos by mistake (instead of photos) so this will be my first venture into growing autos. Never liked the idea of them but people seem to grow massive buds with them...
How'd it turn out, Brendan? Personally, I like the control and mistake tolerance I get from photos. Auto is definitely a learning experience...
All my autos came out to be some of the best bud I e ever had.
Hells yeah 💚🤙
Whats the benefits of Autos?
@@johnnysanchez4996 Grows Faster Than Photoperiods If I’m Not Mistaken
Not necessarily. You can veg a photo for 4 weeks and put it into flower and it can finish as fast as an Auto. Don't Autos take 12 weeks to finish?
@@johnnysanchez4996 It depends on a number of things: medium, pot size, whether indoor or out, light intensity. As for autoflower benefits; no need to worry about light leaks, you don't need as much input to get great results, and generally faster turnaround. Photos have autos beat when it comes to yield and the ability to take clones, plus the option to reveg and fix problems as they arise.
Wow good Lord what a beauty
One of the biggest autos I had grew up to 5ft tall, it was a banana kush! Never seen a auto get that big before!
My very first grow was gold leaf from ILGM and one of them got to 5 1/2' before I had to high stress train it 2 weeks into flower. Took the top and bent it 90 degrees. Yielded almost 350g from that one.
Nice video guys! Stay Happy! Peace!!!
Good advice.. I'm a photo guy.. But still thinking on giving them a try
Idk if yall have tried. But as far as dry amendments and seeing something a tad late on a plant you can make a tea with said amendments/castings/compost and recharge is something awesome to have on hand. Loving your Content. Going through some oldies :))
My first auto went 130+ days. It was a white widow and came out great but took a long time. Got 5.3 ounces of dry bud off it. Why do you say not to go more than 85days? I dont understand. If its not done its not done. Thanks good video and i like what you two do

Glad to hear! HAPPY GROWING 💚 😊
Love the video guys. But when using dry amendments you can supplement with compost teas while waiting that week for the amendments to break down. That way your not playing catch up as much.
We are just starting to dive into compost teas, something we were not doing before, so far results have been great! We will cover it in the upcoming grow series as they progress! Great comment and tip! We learnin! 💚💚
@@Highigan the way I like to use my compost tea’s is kinda like a fuel to a fire with the soil being my fire. The amendments are more like the wood. The wood burns great when you add it to the fire, but a little compost tea to fuel the fire can really help. But be careful not to add too much “fuel” to the fire because then it can become explosive or uncontrollable and it will be too hot for the plant to handle. Have fun guys!!!
I love you guys you are the best
Heaven, I need permission to hit on your husband rq; why does Neil look so good rn? lmao! Great video, y'all. Love your stuff. Been creepin for a while. ;)
We’ve never grown an auto ,, we are curious though 💯👊🔥 great content peeps absolutely amazing stuff thanks peeps 👊💯❤️✌️🙏
Thank you so much! Autos are so fun! You gotta try! 💚💚
So true about auto seeds ... I had 2 of the same cultivar ,one foxtailed and the other didn"t...
We have noticed better genetics like mephisto, night owl, ethos give much more consistent results. There will always be some level of variation with phenos and autos since you are always popping beans, but quality genetics definitely give better results!
Did you ever have an Auto that didn't Flower when all the others did ? I guess again it's genetics ... I had to flip the switch on it with the other autos in the tent because I only have one tent (2x4) and it was getting bigger than the others. Once I flipped it started to flower. But here's my question .. can I flip back to 18 -6 or just keep it at 12-12 ?

En187 my motorcycle channel its still out there lol
hey just use Synetic fertilizer if you see the plant needing food. It will help almost immediately. Then hit them with some recharge and continue your organic gro!!!!!
Doesn't that slay the microbes in an organic grow?
@@Highigan I dont believe it kills all microbes, but that is why you hit them with recharge on the next water cycle. This works.
I completely disagree with cutting the bottom nodes. Personally I find that I can train them to grow out and later in life up for some excellent results, you really got to get a good bend on them to force the plants out and up but it is absolutely worth it.
Y prefere cut the apex in place of bottom nodes so that y can lst my plant and train that branches .. but in perfect world y Will just lst
✌️cuting causes stress right bend her over lst is best on autos , and wouldnt top auto, could stunt it
I've had somewhat mixed results with this, each grow I've done I always have 2 of the same strain from same breeder but I train each differently, one LST only, no deleafing, no topping no cutting off the lower nodes, and one plant I do top and prune etc. Each strain is different, out of 10 strains only 3 actually did better for me with topping etc, glueberry, amnesia haze and northern lights. But that's knowledge gained next time I grow those strains that's why i personally do it. Overall I like LST for autos better, I'll bend them over at 4" and work them to the edge of the pot and keep wiring them down around the edge of the pot, the amount of main colas becomes fantastic.
Cut those nodes!!
@@airbornestoner3077 it's stain dependant
Thanks for good info as usual.✌️🤘🙂
Doing my first Auto run of GDP and its day 77 from seed and these girls arent even CLOSE to being ready to chop haha. I got super jealous when you said yeah 84 days max usually.
Half of these things you DO do if your looking to do micro grows(for us occasional puff puffers) Still trying to grow the smallest plant possible. Believe it or not it’s hard to do!
I wish I could show you a pic of my clone that was about 15-18" high and gave me about 1/4 ounce. It was all an accident of putting a clone I bought out in May before the daylight was long enough and it flowering a little, then keeping it alive and it flowered for real in the fall. But it never grew much beyond its original size.
I remove the bottom nodes too.. sometimes the second set is weak looking also.. but that 3rd node is gonna make some beast colas.. so I keep those and above
Great tip, Heaven does bottom two also, I might start now also! 💚
@@Highigan since the life of autos is cut so short, i feel its best to remve inferior growth.. it could be trained and later used.. but the plant is wasting energy to keep those branches alive that could be going to stregthenin stems and producing more nodes that are higher up in the light footprint.. this is just my 2 pesos on the subject. Love the content tho! Just found you guys and subbed. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for following me on insta! Y’all are awesome!!!
Any time fam! 🙌💚
Helpful info! Thank you 🙏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
I start auto seeds in a 16oz cup w soil for first 8 days then they go into 3gallon grow bags of coco w 10% soil for microbiology. R/o water, don't let dry out (can't overwater in coco:) ph6.3 to 6.6 (gets to uptake different nutes and prevents all deficiencies). I also use extra calcium since it's in coco, and I use a thinner calcium because it will clog the coco if you use bone meal. I use demeter's destiny. If you use it in coco you'll never stop
I dig ya'lls vibe. Thanks for the video, gonna check your others out, especially the grows. I want to start a Blue Dream grow, thinking about auto for my first grow.
Thanks fam! We love the autos fast turn around and explosive growth! They can be challenging to start with but mastering them will lead to you being able to grow photos that much better! They are fun!
u can get a RO water filter cheap that will fix the dust problem
I took an auto flower it then put it outside revenge it just started flowering last week again...ran same strain indoor flushing it this week ..90days the one outside its 3 times the size .
I have one outside and it's goin crazy! LSD auto day 48
Whether you're growing autos or regular seeds you will always have more than one phenotype in your crop just the tip for you newbies life's an adventure keep growing
Of course, but quality genetics vs some of these large seed banks, the consistency and quality of the plants is wildly different at least what we have seen. like mephisto beans are very consistent, compared to homegrown cannabis co where every bean looks like a completely different plant
@@Highigan With smaller operations like Mephisto, obviously the quality control can be maximized in contrast with a larger operation. It's like comparing filet mignon to a skirt steak. One is considered gourmet, and the other a cheaper cut. But hey, good cooks can do wonders with 'cheap' cuts of meat. And yeah, as you mentioned in the video, autoflowers are still being refined and tamed for greater consistency. Personally, I prefer fems to autos overall for various reasons.
Great video y'all 💚
The wild landrace strains can be from 12 inch to 6 feet or more. They vary a lot.
Good info - thanks. That will help a lot.
Glad it helped fam! 💜
Love the vid will help alot
Guess itd be hard to pinpoint with so many variables but I'm 5 grows in now as well with autos and I havent had a single run ready in that time frame. Every grow for me has been 100-115 days from seed to harvest. Mephisto, 420 fastbuds, expert seeds, Barneys farm etc, all the same so far.
Interesting considering I'm currently growing some autos by 420 fastbuds that are meant to finish up in 56-63 days. I wonder what will happen to them. Currently around 20 days into the grow
@@lewisisdaman what happened lol
@@danielfleming4066 hey :) thanks for the follow up. So that run of seeds/plants was a total fuck up on my behalf. Rushed into it and fucked my soil mix up. Waaaaay too much coco coir and not enough of much else so the soil became too dense in the pots after only a few waterings/feedings. This led to nutrient lock and suffocating dwarf plants.
I let one of the gorilla punch plants finish up fully from it's extremely stunted full height of around 4 or 5 inches tall. I let both gorilla punch finish but one was significantly fatter than the other. Although it was tiny and it pretty much just produced one very fat nug, it was beautiful! Would definitely grow gorilla punch properly if given the chance again and I would recommend it to new growers. It's genetics put up with so much noob abuse that her heritage deserves some reparations! 😂😂
I saw what I had I done wrong with these little ones and learnt from it for the next seed. Luckily around the time of this run I also planted a seed of candy Kush by Autoseeds into 3 gallons of a very healthy alive soil mix I prepared myself. I did this because I realized what my problem was. I LST'd the Candy kush at around week 4 and it produced over 2 oz from one plant. It did end up with around 30 colas on it though. No SCROG net used. Just a fuck load of strong colas holding their heads up high. So the candy Kush plant grew well. When you are a newbie like me it's all about getting the basics 100% correct first (hint:putting the seed or seedling into decent soil is a good place to start!).
I currently have a free seed from 420 fastbuds (gorilla cookies) in it's 5th week. It is growing beautifully in only a 5 litre pot. So far so good bro but those first couple plants struggled!
Edit: spelling
Second edit: you might be interested to know that even though the gorilla punch plants were nutrient locked for most of their lives, they both finished up EXACTLY when they were advertised to! That's the weirdest part. Even though these girls were only a couple inches high they stuck to their genetic clock like an atom! Bang on 8 weeks they were finished (even though they were tiny!). So even when some plants go through extreme stress or extreme lack of nutrients/oxygen etc. for ages they can still somehow keep perfect track of time. The two gorilla punch plants looks weirdly healthy when finished too. Just such a shame they were so tiny!!!!
Great Job as always guys
Thanks fam 💚
Try regular beans or female beans. Clones are the best for a set schedule. After your 2nd grow everything should be dialed in and it runs like clockwork.
We only run autos right now so no clones, always starting from beans!
I'm using mostly dry Amendments. Cottonseed meal and blood meal for nitrogen during vegetative, bone meal for phosphorus calcium and magnesium plus sum muriate of potash during flowering. I say mostly dry because I desolve the potash in water before applying it.
84 & out the door i wish.. haha... ive got one thats seriously 147 days old & its almost done now. the seedbank said 55-60 days . i have to admit i almost killed it over watering it & had to repot it so not all the breeders problem . I love autos but OMG they are a challenge
Yeah we have noticed what slows them the most is our own mistakes, that's usually the "special circumstances" we were talking about. If you do something to stunt it early on, it will usually take longer to finish out! We learnin! 🙏💚
Your lady has a great smile.
it only took me 3 grow seasons to switch back to photoperiods, you can clones them and autos have gotten a lot more potent but still they don't compare to the potency of photos, can veg photos longer too for people that like huge plants, autos are only good to fill in space in your tent if you have a little bit of room in the corner of the tent to me... plus yields are just better with photos
