Need help with autos? Welcome

  1. I would never defoliate, I want maximum light absorption so the plant can make maximum amount of bud

  2. Nobody want to jump in on this?
    Well I flushed them again and they straighten up in a couple hours so I'm just gonna keep it up.

  3. Is your ph still going off or is it now stable.

    Does she roots sit in water (sounds like it cause you mention draining it)
    If she does then a lil bubbler if its more than an inch or so will help keep it aireated.
     
  4. Yeah I think I got it now after 2 flushes it seems to be stable. I'll check it before I go to work this morning. Thanks
     
  5. Sour crack is very small strain sou you can go with 2gal pots, dont expect more than 2 oz per plant.. Mine were about 40gr.. I never get more than 50% of strength with my autos..So start with 1/4 os strength and bump it easy until 50% i Think you dont need to get over it.. I would train them at all, it prologue their harvest times, and you said you need some weed asap. Search on yt for diskokilla you have my sour crack grow there..
    i planted 3 24c, they are fast finishers too, dont go to craizy with feeding, like I said 50% is enough for autos.. You can top them or lst them.. Yield is at least 2oz, and it's good indica weed.
    I hope I helped.

  6. First grow here 2 GG and 2 critical purple . Should I be planning on putting a net up in here or just let them go? 20190115_233554.jpg 20190115_233619.jpg

  7. I dont have a ton of experience but, you will probably end up needing a trellis up(depending on how they stretch). Some people use stakes and ties.....some use the yo-yo-things...some just let them go. Like I said, it depends on how old they are and what kind of stretch you are dealing with...they may stretch a good bit and need a trellis for support(hopefully from them having some fat buds)!

    With autos doing a net can be hit and miss some times they will be ok but you cant always fill it like you could with a photo i prefere lst with autos or pony tailing :)

  9. Never used trellis.... and steaks only a few time but with proper trsining and a fan giving them a bit of abuse they get thick ole stems no need for support.
     
  10. This is the importance of silica in veg. Strong sturdy stems to hold the heavy colas

  11. Agreed. It does make a huge difference. I love me some GH Armor Si

  13. And a fan giving it some movement and not proping it up too early or it will never get the strength.

  14. I've used armour si the whole time and the stems are very tough. I noticed when trying to pull some of my lower growth off. Pretty amazing stuff silica .
    It also raises my ph to near perfect when mixing my nutrients

  15. I guess its all a matter of preference and need. I guess I prefer to have the support just in case it needs it. But if your stems are sturdy enough or if its an auto, you probably wouldn't need one. I plan on adding some silica in veg to my next run because Ive heard a lot of good things.

  16. Or if its an auto why if its an auto would you not need it?

    Silica is good but stop after 3 weeks of flower unless you guys use different mine bio silicon if i use it past 3 weekd glower it make my ash black not nice and mine even says not too and after i done this i found a load or reports where it was happening great stuff but stop in flower. But of course if yours is different the situ maybe different

  17. I meant that most autos that I see on here are shorter and sturdier...thus, most do not need a trellis. I'm currently growing my first(and second) round of autos and none of my 3 are going to need a trellis...but they are definitely smaller than normal.

  18. Hey Loki, stupid question number 362: Do you run your autos with both switches on your LED's? Like veg and Flower both on I mean for full power? Or is the flower spectrum just wasted in the 30 day veg period?
     
  19. Imo its definitely not wasted during veg..
    I think its a good idea to have them both on cause the spectrum givin off by both lights together..
