i have 3 auto flower strains coming in a few days and one sativa/indica. i was wondering if i was to choose one of the autoflwering strains to just grow and mess around with maybe pick a bud or two to sample here n there will it keep re- budding under a 18/6 light cycle or will it die after the 60 days?
My guess is that it would eventually die, seeing as it is on it's own life cycle. It will never be able to get back to the vegetative stage. But hey, i'm no expert.
The Veg/flowering cycle isn't effected by lighting schedules, you can't manipulate it's growth using that technique.
Yup, it will veg for a certain amount of time then flower for a certain amount of time. One cool thing about that aspect of the autoflowers is that you can have early harvests outdoors. You could even plant them in a staggered fashion, as in pop a seed or 2 or whatever, every couple/few weeks. Since they'll only last for a certain amount of time, you would be harvest approx. as far apart as you planted them. Different strains/plants will take different times, but it's close enough for me to want to try that next year
They will flower again,I have a plant back in the flowering room now that I put back in veg after harvesting the first set of buds off of it. I cut the stems and buds off just above the lowest sprouting buds on each stem,put it back in veg for 4 weeks and now it is back in flower for the last 3 weeks and the first new flowers are starting to poke out.
Stay away from auto-flowering strains. They contain ruderalis cannabis AKA ditch weed. It's a marketing sham aimed at newbies and the uninitiated.
No i don't have any auto-flowering strains but as a local botanist explained it to me,as long as the plant gets more than 12 hrs of light it will stay in veg mode. Just read up on a/f strains and misunderstood genetic tampering that would induce a/f. Sorry about the unnecessary info. Ps, In regards to your parents height and your height,,,,mama's baby,daddies maybe,,,,lol
Not at all. The ruderalis genetics only affect the plant's light cycle, making it flower regardless of lighting schedule. It really has little effect on the quality of the bud (although it has been said that it isn't very potent at all) but will still give you good buds. While it might seem that only "newbies" would like these, those that have limited space or are doing a SOG grow would find many autos very handy.
Hate to burst your bubble but autos will not reveg. Period. Ask yourself, how will a plant that flowers under any amount of light know when it's veg and flower in order to reveg? Think about it.
not this shit again Ruderalis isn't ditch weed. We've been over this before. Ruderalis is hemp, and the reason it's in the genetics is to cause the strains to autoflower. No ruderalis = no autoflower, so unless you've got some other way to cause strains to consistently autoflower quit making shit up to confuse people. There's no sham when the product does exactly what it's supposed to do. Autoflowers are supposed to auto flower, so how is that a sham? Just because you consider them inferior doesn't make them so. You think it "reduces potency," but when bred correctly there really isn't any reduction of potency. For the sake of the argument tho, let's say they DO lose potency. So fuckin what?? To some people, a tradeoff of a little bit of potency (probably negligible enough for nobody to notice) is fine when the benefit is a plant that flowers regardless of photoperiod. I've already explained the benefits of autoflowering, if you don't think it's worth it fine but there's no need to slander seedbanks that sell them. The thread is about autoflowering plants, so your plants are irrelevant to the discussion. Here's the confusion. There are three different species of cannabis sativa; sativa, indica, and ruderalis. Ruderalis (which the ignorant call ditch weed) is widely known as hemp, the kind of cannabis that doesn't make much, if any THC but is used for industry (paper, ropes, cars etc). When a variety of sativa or indica is crossed with a ruderalis variety, some of the offspring acquire the trait of flowering regardless of photoperiod; these are autoflowering strains. If you were to be growing F1 seeds, meaning the direct offspring of a ruderalis and indica/sativa, then caligrower would be correct in assuming the seeds wouldn't be the best idea to grow. This is because you will end up with some plants that take on more ruderalis traits than not, such as low THC level. What he fails to consider is that legit breeders don't sell F1 seeds; they take those offspring, grow them to see what plants take on what traits, and only THOSE plants are backcrossed to reinforce those traits. The ones that show more ruderalis traits are tossed, and the ones that keep the positive traits you want go on to make more seeds. It's unnatural selection at its finest
Dude, you're smoking your nutrients. In any cross you will get half of the genes from each parent INCLUDING the ditch weed genes from the ruderalis that includes non existent potency. It's like pissing in a glass of fine champagne and pretending the urine is not there.
Indeed. You can't even clone autoflowers b/c even if you get the cutting to root, it will flower at the same time as the mother plant.
Somebody doesn't understand recessive genetics I suppose since my parents are 4' 10" and 5' 3" there's no possible way I could turn out 5' 9", right?
First off, Caligrower...your a moron. Second, Zpyro hit it on the head. Caligrower you should prolly take some tips from Zpyro.
