Army of Autoflowers theory

Discussion in 'Advanced Growing Techniques' started by ParanoiaKills, Oct 6, 2011.

  1. So, for about 3 months I have been racking my brain trying to conjure a way to harvest 2 plants a month, every single month, in one single room.

    And the other day I harvested, and I had a free autoflower royal haze seed, that I was going to start working on! Did some research, found out best way to grow is 20 hours of light all the way thru....then it dawned upon me!!! I can be vegging, and flowering in the same room, without worries of light leaks, buying multiple flood tables, and I can get the harvest every single month!

    What do y'all think of this idea?? The only downfall I can think if is you have to buy mucho seeds, as I can't clone an autoflower, but to harvest every month I'll pay the $20 a seed or whatever it is.

    Comments? Suggestions?? Army of Autoflowers a good topic name? Lol comment away peeps.
     
  2. This is extremely common.
     
  3. I would just work on setting up a perpetual grow with an indica strain with a short flower time

    It will take a bit more work and dedication, but you can clone non autoflower plants...

    I know people that harvest a few plants once a month..
     
  4. why not get un-feminised auto seeds and do a seed run ...
    then you will be set for years ~ !!!:hello:
     
  5. very common bro look up perpetual grows. you can have a weekly harvest if you have the time space and do it right.

    Yeah breeding them is an excellent idea you won't have to pay $100 for 10 seeds lol hang on I'll post a few pics

  12. Last but not least, blue Himalayan diesel. She's only 10 days old from seed.

    Best results when doing auto flowers?

    Always LST. I tie down all my autos, pretty vigorously too. I tie down all thru flowering (even tho they say you shouldnt) but that's how I get 5-7 main colas.

    I also use bubble buckets, DWC. I make my own it's pretty easy. I just found out painting your bucket white, not black, keeps reservoir temperatures down, which is a huge plus.

    Any other questions? Autos are just the way to go, in 3 months I get 3 ounces

  13. I have 2 rooms one for veg an one for flower. I flower 18 plants that are 3 weeks apart Fromm each other. I am mean start of flower time. So I am harvesting 3
    Plants every 2 two 3 weeks depending on
    The strain. Great way to make sure u always have your meds
     
  14. Couple of pics for my auto lovers :)

    Little plant is the Blue. 18 days growth, 4 days since first flowers.

    Big one is Critical. Already harvested two colas. Due to a vacation being in the way I can't chop the rest till Friday, so they don't over dry thru the whole weekend.

    Critical has a ton of purple, not cold induced either as the calyxes are turning :D enjoy!!
