Auto/Photo preflowering time difference.

  1. All right , so I plant 8 at once , 3 fem autos, and 5 unknown mixed bag which consist of autos/fems/regs. All 3 autos are preflowers with long whites. And 1 of unknowns is in the same boat. So should I up pot her to a 5 gallon smart pot . Or leave it in the 1 gallon ? Thanks
     
  2. If it was a auto it should have been in a big pot its entire life

  3. More time spent on GC will save you having to post dumb threads

    only a dummy would include autos with photos

    unless you actually know what you are doing

    more time on GC or Grow weed easy

  4. No kidding, if I knew it was a auto it would be in a 5 to start.
     
  5. I have a idea.
     
  6. So has anyone noticed a difference in time for preflowers to appear as opposed to photos or not?
     
  7. autos transplant just fine. 30 days and then into fresh unsalted medium, when I was growing in 5 gallon. These 1 gallon fabric bags are a real trip. I just put a seed in a Rapid rooter and put the rooter in a 1 gallon bag filled with perlite. Now I see why they say 70 days for an auto. It's over before it hardly even started.

  8. Unless you're me hunter and 2 of my Autos, turn out to be Photos!!! Oh, how I love a good 12 weeks veg :)

  9. Photos will show pre flowers between weeks 4-6 of they have not been flipped 12/12, if you flip 12/12 from seed it will still take a good 4 weeks to get pre flowers because the plant needs to mature enough before it will put some out.

    Autoflowers you have little to no control over when they flower, you will usually see pre flowers between day 15-25 from seed...

    Bad idea to try and grow autos with photos unless you're ok with taking a big hit on your yield for the auto

  11. It was not bag seed. It was a mix and match bag from mjseedscanada.com. poor choice but I didn't realize at the time they were not labeled.
     
  12. You can grow autos with photos but you need to be smart about it.. grow out an auto while vegging a photo and then after the auto is done chop her and flip 12/12 for the photo.. get a little auto yield while waiting for the monster plant you vegged for 2-3 months
     
  13. Honestly dude that is exactly what I'm doing. My question was if auto/photo preflower time is different. So I can upsize it earlier , instead of later.
