Hey all, I’m a newbie growing in zone 10b and would love some advice/ trade tips from someone in this zone or close to it in a subtropical area. Had a very successful crop of UK Cheese started from seed last January. Now some lousy results from autoflowers over the past 3 months. Please pm. Few things I’ve discovered: You can do clones outdoors with great ease in the shade with a tray with a dome Pests, pests, pests. Even with netting over each plant they are relentless, needed lady bugs to save my crop from aphids So far autoflowers outdoors are a waste of time & money
For the tropics I'd stick to sativas and the sativa autoflower favorite 'The Destroyer' may take a little longer but it'll be worth it daily spray with neem oil will help the bugs and molds good luck
Too funny I tried AK autoflowers and the company sent me the photo variety. They are doing decent. Were enormous 6’ tall not blooming so I whacked them in half and made clones from them, all are doing fine, harvested the parent and the kids are blooming. Ty!
