Newbie question on autoflowering strains

Discussion in 'Micro Grows' started by willdearbourne, Feb 4, 2011.

  1. Just a process question...and unsure how to do the next step

    1. germinate autoflower seeds, and grow
    2. Harvest all the goodies...

    Now what? How do you start over? Can you take cuttings, do u trim the plant and it regrows? I dont want to have to buy seed all the time

    I best this is an easy question for growers who harvest several times a year

    thanks
     

  2. i also have the same question any help would be great
     
  3. Well you could take a cutting & It will auto flower , You just need rooting hormone

    No , I wish you could just trim & It re grows But you have to kill to smoke It :/

    are you wanting to know how to Germinate , grow & harvest ... I'd suggest you Search n searched google , everyone does there re search , It sounds like you haven't done any

    You will learn a lot from what you read , I'd search Google > How To Grow Marijuana step by step for beginner's ... You got to know the basics

    I'd use your knowledge of how a plant grows & set a grow area up & start as soon as ... you will learn best from experiencing how the plant grows for your self & learn(read) as you go along , Set something up ..If you get stuck let us know .

    But I'm not saying there Isn't people here that wont to help you through It all But If you don't even know what people are talking about you'll find It hard m8 ... Anyway Good Luck - Hope Ive helped you in some way ... :smoke:
     
  4. Another thing If I was you make another Thread In the Absalute Beginners section & there will be plenty of people willing to help you out man
    :wave:
     
  5. auto flowers arent great for cloning seeing as you cant throw them back into veg. but if you have a male and a female you can collect pollen from the male and pollinate one of the smaller buds and have a few seeds to grow
     
  6. what do you mean you can't throw them back into Veg , I'm sure you can ...

    Here is a Link - where you will get more of Info & experienced answers ,

  7. i just don't see how you can re veg them if they decided to bud on on their own regardless of light cycle
     

  8. Links, man. Links!

    I have no idea how one could make an auto flower go back into veg, but if you're curious you should read the link in the above post. I know thats what I'm going to do!
     
  9. I have done a lot of reading here and in youtube/google...it just wasnt clear that I needed to go back to seed everytime and restart.

    Why does anyone then buy autoflower /feminized seed, if its only good for one shot?
     
  10. Yes so if i get an autoflower strain then I CANT get a femized seed?

    Maybe its best to get a feminized, non autoflower and adjust the color temp/timers, to allow for taking a cutting and starting another batch of plants

    am i wrong here?
     
  11. Yes this link does seem to deal with the question....

    thanks
     
  12. I really don't know much about breeding, and i know absolutely nothing about breeding feminized seeds. But I prefer non auto strains I mean if you don't want to adjust the light half way through the grow you can just grow 12/12 from seed and they will veg for awhile and bloom when they get ready

    Why do you want to use autoflower plants? Are they for outside? I have a good answer for you, but I need to know what it is you're looking for from the autoflowering plants so that i can tell you if those traits are easily found elsewhere.

    PS: You can make your own feminized seeds. Its not hard! You just need to find a female plant that has the ability to switch genders, and one that can't switch genders even when stressed. You take the pollen from the plant you stressed into hermaphrodism and use that to pollinate the plant that would not show male flowers. The seeds will be strong, viable, female and produce few hermies.
     
  14. i dont mind changing the times and the bulbs... just dont want to waste time/money buying the wrong seed

    which strain will grow "fast" , low enough for a PCgrow , is feminized and a non_autoflower...?
     
  15. Just want to grow 1-2 plants in a PCbox...start from seed
    harvest, make cuttings and start all over
    autoflowering not a necessity.

    And switching genders, pollination, beyond my skill set at this time!!

    thanks
     

  16. Right, this is what I thought. Autoflower is something I have just been learning about, but here's what I've taken from GC.

    1. Autoflowers are nice indoors because you don't have to worry about light-leaks.
    2. They grow and flower relatively small, which is nice when you don't know when to switch to flower. ( Sometimes, they get too big. Sometimes we flower early because we're excited.)
    3. Outdoors, they will finish at a set time that begins counting down when they germinate. This means not having to wait until fall for harvest. This means more buds, sooner. I can do three harvests per season, hypothetically speaking, and I'm in southern Canada.

    Now, I don't see any reason to grow auto-flowers inside unless you want to keep a culture going that supplies you with seeds for your outdoor endeavors. Light leaks aren't that scary, and just assume it will triple in height even if its an Indica. Lst that bitch if she's trying to grab the lamp.

    I mean, I was thinking that you probably get increased growth from having the lights on 24/7, but it seems this improved ability to use light only makes for a plant that almost produces as much as endica/sativa hybrids with no ruderalis genetics. I'd love to see how much an autoflower would yeild with only twelve hours of light, in comparison to her seed-sister who got the full 24 hour treatment.

    I think you'd be waay better of with a nice, fast growing endica-dominant strain. Clones are the way to go.

    Very true. You may have been correct, but its not good to spread information unless you absolutely know it to be true. No disrespect to a fellow anarchist, but the government spreads enough misinformation for all of us.;)

    PS: Check out the Bonsai mum's thread! Awesome stuff. My mother used to be fucking massive. She was a fat bitch! Now I got a dainty little bonsai-babe.:)
     
  19. Yea yeah.. I assumed... and you know what they say about assuming.. lol
     

  20. Bro, please stop posting. you do not know what you are talking about at all, your just arguing and spreading false info and pretending like you know what your doing so you can knock other people and call them noobes. you are a troll. The dude asked how to keep auto's going, without buying more seeds, not how to germinate a seed and grow it. and you start talking about how he should have posted this in the absolute beginers section and to look up on google how to germinate a seed and grow? thats not even what he asked, like, AT ALL. and you didnt help AT ALL. whats your deal bro? do you have trouble with english or are you just a dick? fuck off. your posts are completely useless, we dont need people like you around here. if you don't know that a autoflower CAN NOT be put back into veg then you shouldnt be posting telling people that they are begginers. you do know what an autoflower is right? becuase every post youve made on this thread has been pointless and competely unhelpfull. douchebag.
