@@eugene5438 nothing wrong with autos for sure I like to grow them here and there for variety. Now that I'm making a lot of hash I prefer photos so I can get them larger and do more aggressive training
I'm a photo grower and I grew an auto for shits and giggles. I planted one in an Earthbox (15-gallon SIP) in living soil ( BuildASoil Way) and it got four foot tall before it started flowering. 14 ounces of really good herb in a 3x3 under a 300-watt Maxsisun.
I'm just now going through some Speedrun genetics myself and am loving them so far. Currently a week in on Supreme Runtz in my Blumat drip. Just recently finished a couple Fatality and one Sour Black Cherry Haze
@@RobSWVA nice. Got two strawberry banana autos pretty much ready to harvest, one I think stunted, a Tropicana cookies from Growers Choice and an LSD-25 about 10 days old from fast buds
@SmoochXO_420Gaming that LSD is pretty heavy with phenotypes from my experience, But there's an all big nugs one in there that I've found before. Only ones from them I've truly liked are the gorilla crosses
Fantastic information for a first time grower. Hopefully popping beans before Christmas. Waiting on my Ac Infinity equipment to arrive. Starting with Fast buds 420 autos. Chris your show is one of my favorites. 60 years old and a disabled Marine vet from MN. Thanks
I grew 4 different Autos from 420 fast buds. Blueberry Auto, Amnesia Zkittlez, Strawberry Gorilla, & Purple Lemonade, all fire cultivars. They all grew in an Earth Box with organic living soil
This was a great interview! I really learned a lot of what I’ve been doing wrong from this episode. I definitely need to feed my girls more, makes a lot of sense that autos would use more feed than your typical photo.
Awesome auto specific suggestions in this one! I asked a well known crop steering company how to steer auto's and their response in a live podcast was, "Why auto's?". I'd accidentally stumped the best and brightest by asking a question about auto's. Auto crop steering is an emerging practice with little industry support but fortunately prodigies like Dave Baker are raising the bar . It was nice to see ACI include auto's in their recent AI controller release. Hopefully someday 'auto crop steering' and 'photo crop steering' will get equal support, until then these discussions are the best preview of tomorrow.
Just finishing my first ever grow. Grew some autos, went pretty decent, quite enjoy the challenge of hitting the run just right. Learnt so much, next run loading 😁
check Coco If you havent already. In soil i would go minimum 5 gallons, also many people give autos too much light and dont notice it, DLI can get pretty high. LST is Important with autoflowers. Light scedule 20/4 Worked best for me with most strains. Have fun growing Brother 🎉
@konstantintzagas9462 Thanks friend. Great advice. Im in coco perlite. I also did give too much light at one point trying to push them. Im just keen to get those first few weeks down. First run i did the classic mistake of watering seedling too often. But all in all i got some awesome bud and learnt a lot!
Excellent episode! I'm growing Mephisto autos in coco in fabric pots, still trying to get a perfect grow. Every plant seems to have issues sooner or later. Buds turn out great, but plants looks sick constantly. Been experimenting with GH trio, calmag, silica....grow dots on others...idk my tent temps are always between 65 and 75 max, humidity 50%. Maybe giving too much water at one time and causing roots to not get enough oxygen. Always let em dry out a couple days but once the problems start they never go away. Love the hobby! Mephisto has some amazing strains!
Good information als all the time ❤ I want to start with Auto next run . So I got Skunk auto and I will be happy if someone can share his experience with this one 😊 best regards MGM
I love growing auto because I can keep them small I have had at least one auto going in my tent growing for the last 3 years I start one 3 weeks before I harvest the one at bat but I always have one on deck
100% agree with the use of Far-Red.. I supplement my grow in Flower with an Electric Sky V3 @ Full power and can say that yields have 100% doubled since utilizing the Far-Red light spectrum.. Scrog game has to be on and a taller tent 100% necessary! 😆
My Xmas present i got the new spider farmer tent set up im so excited and it was great as it was all on sale Love your channel bro ive learned so much and continue Great video 🪴🔥💨🤙
I agree with him about lighting 34:00 in. I give my plants about the same. The trick is to blast it with light early on so it hardens off. Sprouted seedlings go from 400ppfd to 600 to 800 pretty quickly. All the way to 1300 par. I do grow some autos but mostly photoperiods and it's the same thing. My issue with autos is I try to stress them so they flower early and I get a actual 60-70 day harvest but it never happens. They get way too big and start taking up too much space. They're unpredictable too. Edit: the more your able to harden off a plant in veg, in any capacity, the less likely it'll herm in flower. So that's another benefit
And ya, my plants outside I just cut down. Also live in MA. Was growing ghost peppers. Its been 70 all month up until the last week or so. Same warmth last month too. Honestly, the weather here is all sorts of messed up lol. More than its been in the past. For example, it's supposed to snow in a day or so LOL. The season needs to pick a lane.
Actually had an issue with fungus gnats on my last grow and I used maybe an inch of play sand that I had left over from my kids sandbox on the top of my soil and they were gone within 24 hours. My soil is all organic I won't say what company I used that had the fungus nuts in it but I used about 40% of their dirt, 30% coco core, 20% biochore, and 10% Peet/sphagnum moss...
Good thinking -- if you want to reuse the medium without mixing with sand you can try using pea gravel and a soil sifter to separate them after harvest.
Autos are tougher than photos. If you can pull of a auto grow like that ,, imagine what you can do with photos. West Kentucky ready to show up and show out... 💚🔥💪
Pretty cool to here speedrun seeds as the original auto reg stock is from me I gave a bunch to a buddy in Colorado he and 2 others created businesses super pumped for them it's a crazy thing but I love it.
I have two Banana Split autos drying now. They're from Ethos Genetics Tropical Thunder Multipack. Probably the fattest buds of any kind I've grown. And frosty. Also, a couple PPD autos from Humboldt. Big fat purple goodness there, too. I'm not all auto, Kong's Krush from Green House is vegging. It's all good.
i have an off brand light i add with my sf2000PRO, which has a small amount of IR red and UV2, i also noticed a stretch/more limbs whilst in veg. One thing i also noticed is that the plants will produce defensive trichomes during veg, these arnt "active" but ive noticed it allows me to notice the terpes before ive even hit flower! not sure if these terpes form in different ratios in flower other than veg with UV+IR stress then what they would without the IR + UV but maybe this can be used to identify certain phenos before even going in flower!... ALSO the stacking and length of the triches seem like 1.5/2x than without the IR + UV
Cronk line is a little light on the nitrogen I've noticed. Plants get a little yellow pretty early at the end of flower, so im guessing not enough in the veg cycle. I've had great yielding autos with it tho. Is Ben ever gonna do he full auto line P.s. you should have daz on for a breeding episode on autos
autos in closet in winter and photos outside in summer this year both outside. growing first autos with grow dots not impressive runtz f1 both very small oh well next ones hopefully better or its really not worth money spent on equipment, will just use light etc. for spring vegetable seed starting.Trying grape ape and fat banana autos. runts may give a few joints not much there look good though.Topped runtz better than the untopped way more colas.
Chris talk to some hash makers specifically water hash. I dont think yall have done much of that and as far as i can tell its still a pretty adolescent part of the herb
I feel in love with autos don’t tell p I pop one with my photos and leave them in the veg tent don’t change anything just let them do there thing 5 gal living soil
Dave Baker? Sr, or Jr.? Flooring company Dave Baker? It's Chris from Springfield, Amherst, Chicopee. Area. It's been 10 yrs or so since I've seen you. Hope all is well if it is you bud. Otherwise great show
its crazy, ive done 4 auto runs now, but just cannot get them to take a heavy feed. anything over 1.2 ec and they punish me HARD. done mephisto, fastbuds, nightowl and a handfull of freebees from various breeders.. just never like high ec :-/
Hows your water quality? Even if its a low ppm, if the particles in water is sodium, it can cause issues. My tap is 50-100ppm, I can feed at 2.5ec with mild leaf tip burn with floraflex. I usually feed around 1.8 though, high frequency fertigation.
Thanks to Dave Baker for coming onto the podcast today!

We love Mr Grow it!!!
Absolute GOLD of an episode! Took down lots of notes. Love growing Autos, very helpful info. ❤ Thank you both ❤

Did it still flower "on time"?.

Support small, proper breeders, guys!
@@TheFreakonhell they definitely aren't low quality but good try
Iv been using sugaree for 10 plus years, it’s basically grape juice. Works great for adding lots of trichlomes.
being from MA this is super duper excieting to watch. thanks for the content Mr.G
Best episode yet learned a lot
Great content, great channel👍🏾💯
Good episode 👍 I live in Massachusetts it's good to see we have alot of home growers
Thinking out of the box ❤
Open minded grow tips. This guy is remarkable for what he has do e for the auto grow community. Nice vid. Chris.😅
This is the information I want.Thank you.
Keep them coming!
Excellent video. I learned some things I never heard anyone talk about with Autos. Thank you Dave & Chris.
Love it when u talk autos
This guy is great, we do all the same stuff. great minds think alike lol
Thanks Chris, I appreciate the knowledge you give to home growers like me. Makes a huge difference.

Always interested in learning new tips and techniques for autoflowers. Thx MGI
Brother Mendel Genetics rock!
How would I get my hands on some of your seeds all I’ve grown is auto I really messed up my first run and got 3 ozs off 1
Great info. Thanks!
I’ve watched this video 10 times already
Thanks for the video!
this guys grows a lot like i do with the rock wool and coco and 2 tents. I get fantastic results!
Definitely looks like a mass house like south shore sorry for ur loss my man peace ✌️
When he talked about adjusting the feed to the ppm/EC he wanted, do you just up the amount of base nutrients for that or up everything?
Great information. Been growing Autos for 3 plus years but in Soil. Still many great tops with lighting and Lst
Good information very similar to my style I cant remember if he use C02 it can increase density of bud mine are like a rock wen dry
I use tmb bottles.

he's only using far red? or full spectrum + far red?
I grow plenty of Autos that keep up with my photos. Of course Genetics

I still remember to this day the head grower, when he was there called photoperiod plants autoflowers. 😭 had to bite the tongue real hard on that one.
My auto’s sometimes won’t switch to flowering. I have to switch the time to 12 hours.
i would like to know what his co2 meter reads so i can test mine to his and see what i can do to make my autos over 1 pound
Don’t have one.
Cronk line is a little light on the nitrogen I've noticed. Plants get a little yellow pretty early at the end of flower, so im guessing not enough in the veg cycle. I've had great yielding autos with it tho. Is Ben ever gonna do he full auto line

I've had an organic grow going but I'm starting to understand you can't have 'big' autos if you're not pumping them full of nutes.
He has more patient than me as soon as it's dried I'm smoking it.
I’d love to be a guest and share what I can about autos and photoperiod genetics

You are correct
Rolled up with coffee in hand

Autopotamus said he run his at the same ec
Yes Lynne and I grow similar.
How bad of a screw up is it to start autos in a small pot?
awesome
What does ec mean?

Chk out Daniel with heartrock mountain farms beautiful auto lineup and he always takes a spot in the emerald cup. Super cool og grower
