What is the quickest, most potent autoflower strain to grow? It is my first grow and it will be in a pc grow box.
im not sure you could check out http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-marijuana-growing/743972-auto-flower-resource-thread.html and see if you can find any info
I've heard good things about dr. green thumb's Iranian auto. I have no idea what the thc content is or how it would do in a pc grow box.
If it is your first time growing an auto flowering strain stay away from some of the so called 60 day wonders and those claiming to finish in " less then 8 weeks " as they can be very touchy and unforgiving if you mess up a litte and stress the plant out which can kill some of the weaker auto flowering strains. Purple Mazar will finish in 8 weeks to 75 days, decent little yielder and is somewhat forgiving should you mess up some. Plus its smoke is as strong as many of the higher THC strains, it is an Indica based plant are many of the best Ruderalis, or as you call them auto flowering. Afghan Kush Ryder is another good one, smaller yields but great smoke. But for a fast and fairly forgiving plant, won't knock you on your ass but get you a nice buzz going Low Ryder #2 is easy to grow and a " fair " smoke but nothing special. Auto AK, Automatic White Widow when in stock, and Diesel Ryder are good as well, and strong smokes. They all, including the others I listed rival many popular main stream popular smokes, and are stronger then most all commercial strains like Big Bud and even Northen Lights, FYI Northen Lights, Williams Wonder, Early Girl and other early flowering strains all have Ruderalis in their genes which helps them to flower faster then other regular strains, but the Ruderalis were not kept in the breeding, only the plants that grew in a regular fashion and flowered early were, and crossed back many times to whatever regular plant was used to create them so the Ruderalis gene let them flower earlier then other strains, but the Ruderalis size and such was breed out so they were normal size and higher yielding plant, and the THC was brought back up to higher levels. You get the drift. IE: selective breeding. Note: Ruderalis in general need a deep pot as they love to grow deep roots that stretch down and not out like a normal marijuana plant which develops a root ball and spreads down and outward. It doesn't have to be wide, just deeper is better when it comes to Ruderalis, 12 or more plus inches, I recommed 18 inch deep pots or more, don't use a 8" or 10" unless the strain says it can be grown in one. Never use a 2 Liter pop bottle unless you black out the outside of it as root systems hate light!!! What can appear to be symptoms of a magnesium problem " lack of " may in fact be that the PH is off, try a little Epsom salt in the next watering, and while you are at it get a real Coca Cola and mix some in the water to add some sugars and phosphorus since I have found the problem to really be more a lack of phosphorus in the soil then a magnesium related problem but the Epsom salts will reduce the PH and nutrient lock out as add some magnesium to the soil. The same goes for regular non auto flowering strains. To many people think magnesium is the problem when its really PH or a salt related issue from using tap water that hasn't aired out for a day or two, this cause a plant to lock up and it doesn't up take the nutrition it needs, or it can also be a need for more phosphorus which I find helps when I see edges of leaves starting to really curl or turn yellow or brown. Marijuana Seeds - Worldwide Marijuana Seeds sells many differnt types of auto flowering strains and you can buy 1 seed or a pack of seeds from them. If you want a strain that only sells feminized seeds Ruderalis are nice as if you let them grow past their time they will seed and you will get some new seeds " can work with normal strains as well ", the result will be all female seeds though and its not something you want to do past one generation or you will certainly wind up with a lot of hermies and not females in a second or third generation from the same plant, especially if the plants get stressed out at all. Really its best to let a female develop male flowers, collect the pollen and use that pollen on another female to fertilze her, the second female should be a some weeks behind in growth when doing this so she is not over mature herself and you can fertilize her with the pollen when she begins to flower. Remember though, these seeds will also be feminized and chances are there will not, I repeat will not be any males. Look into how they feminize seeds to understand more about this. In any case I wish you luck and will most likely not check this thread again. FYI " Short Rider " and the above mentioned Iranian Auto, not good strains! In fact Nirvana seeds, at least when it comes to Auto Flowering Strains, stay away from them, especially thier Short Rider strain, its a weak plant and if you don't start them off and germinate them directly in dirt chances are they will die off before then second set of leaves for some reason. Nirvana does have some good regular strains though, but needs to work more on Auto Flowering strains before releasing them, they just suck though most of the Autos are cheap in price. LOL now we know why their auto strains are cheap, because they suck. Once more, good luck! Ruderalis are a lot of fun to grow and watch grow over the 8 to 10 weeks it takes depending on strain. Though I grow regular strains I am hooked on growing Ruderalis and have even developed some of my own strains that kick ass. So have fun and enjoy watching the progress you can see almost daily. Be well The Ruderalis Guy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you believe I am actually growing Pot you are either dumb or stupid! Why would I break the law and risk a felony charge? I only teach people how to do this stuff! Do not grow Ruderalis at home or attempt anything you read here as it could be dangerous to your health! NOT! But it could land you in jail!
Hi ,I did some diesel- ryders autofems from the joint doctor. Quick little girls that yielded about 2 oz of dank weed. http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/716779-stealth-diesel-ryder-autofem-grow.html http://forum.grasscity.com/outdoor-grow-journals/728732-2010-outside-monster-grow.html
thanks A lot guys....prob. gonna get the afgan kush ryder again....i actually planted 1 about 6 days ago but i think i over watered it....before i planted the germinated seed, i put 2 bottles of water in a 4 inch wide, 6 inch deep pot and no sprout yet.
A little disappointed to hear that Nirvana's SR is without praise! Guess I should do my research a little better... However I've quite the green thumb and maybe after reading Ruderalis Guy's valuable info I can give this strain a good shot... Time will tell I guess... Who besides Nirvana has good stealth shipping?
