AUTOFLOWER SEEDS
#28160350 - 01/27/23 06:56 PM (1 year, 22 hours ago) |

So, I'm pulling the trigger on buying some auto-flower seeds for a balcony grow. TOTALLY legal here so no worries. I only need one or 2 plants and the seeds are in 5 packs. Questions: Could I technically order now and get 2 full grows before the fall if I start them inside in March or April? Full half day of sun from dawn until about 3pm. Due east facing balcony. Do they really only take 3 months to mature outside in a pot? I love sativas but don't know which names/varieties etc would be best with this type of seed so which ones would be best? Any suggestions on places to order? (if this is considered against policy ignore it)

I’ve never grown autos before but you could probably get some good advice here https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/25131101

I grow autos pretty much only now, and yes, you can go from seed to finsh in only three months.
I have strain right now growing called Fog Dog, and it takes three months from seed exactly until you're smoking

Auto flowers are triggered into flowering by root stress, not the day length. Once the taproot bottoms out in the pot, then they'll begin to flower. It's best to sprout the seeds and plant them directly into they're final container. Check out Twenty20 Mendocino for some amazing autos, I ran the Trizzlers, Triks, Trizkit, and Ogreberry, and they were all awesome. You can get them through Great Lakes Genetics.

I grew many autoflowers and never observed that. According to that logic they would never flower if you'd just plant them into ground outdoors. Can you post a scientific research or something on support your claim? I would be interested to learn something new. It's probably a secondary flowering trigger?
To my understanding autoflowers won't get triggered into flowering by shorter daylight exposure, because of their ruderalis genetics. Ruderalis grows in Siberia, where the days are quite long in summer, so nature has equipped them with another flowering mechanism than their photoperiodic sisters. Once you popped the seeds the time runs. If you know what you're doing autos are fine, but they will punish you big time in case you made a mistake and slowed down their growth. Photoperiod plants are more forgiving in that regard.
Anyway autoflowers are fun. Happy growing tyrannicalrex!

Bambus - please provide information to back the claim because that's not how autos work as far as I know.

Here is a link that mentions the root stress initiating flowering, of course it's not the only factor, as it was mentioned there is also set number of days that a given strain should finish in.
https://www.alchimiaweb.com/blogen/growing-autoflowering-cannabis/
I've seen it many times, someone starts an auto in a solo cup, and it will start flowering as soon as the taproot hits the bottom, far sooner than if you put the seed in a 5 gal pot. In general, the bigger the pot, the bigger the plant, so yeah they'll start flowering a bit later and finish later than in a solo cup.
In nature the taproot encounters increasing dense soil and rocks as it makes it's way down. The soil isn't loose for very deep. Once that stress is too much, flowering starts.

I don't know about that, no offense bambus
I start all my container autos in tiny pots, and I re-pot them as they start getting root bound. Mine always start to flower at the four our five week mark regardless of them being root-bound or not. Same as if I were to start them in their final big pot and never transplant. Also, my in ground plants flower at the exact same time frame too.
There is really no way to get autos to flower any faster, by letting them get rootbound, as far as I know, and I have grown many auto strains in various size containers. All start to flower at the four to five week mark, and males at week three.

This little fog dog is 10 days old from seed, and the roots are at the bottom of the pot already. No way in heck it's going to start flowering until another few weeks regardless, even if I let it stay in this pot it's whole life.

Try a side by side, one in a solo, and 1 in a 5 gallon pot from seed. The one in the solo will begin to flower first, be much smaller, and finish earlier than the 5 gallon. The difference in flower start & finish may not be drastic, but yield will be, that was my point. Also, I 've never heard of anyone transplanting an auto after they are root bound, even a photoperiod takes time to recover, and an auto would never recover from truly being root bound, they just don't have enough time. With that being said, I'm glad you're sharing that you have different experiences. I think there's quite a bit of variation in the autos, so it's totally possible that we can have opposing thoughts on this. Another factor to consider is the degree of the expression of the autoflowering trait, some are actually semi-auto, there's some food for thought...

Let me rephrase my statement 
I dont always start my autos in small pots and then transplant. I only do this when growing a plant or two indoors so they don't get as big.
I'm an outdoor grower only, and I can't grow more than a small plant or two indoors due to my roommate not liking cannabis plants really being in the house.
I also never let them get root-bound per say, I transplant when the roots hit the bottom of the pot. I will transplant this one today.
This all being said, I have never suffered any transplant shock, really from transplanting autos, and trust me I have tried to get smaller plants by doing this, and it just wont happen for me. Sure, they sometimes grow smaller than if I just let them grow int their final pot, but they still get plenty big and only slightly smaller than the ones that were never transplanted.
Last season, I started my autos in tiny pots,and transplanted them in my backpack out to my spots, and the plants still got a few feet tall, even with some of them totally spilling out of the pots in my back pack.
But like you said, there are different variations in autos, but all the ones I have grown never suffered any of the problems or myths that people would have you believe about autos 
I also totally agree with your side by side comparison grow 100%, and thanks for being a good sport about all this brother man
We are all here to learn, and we all have our different ways of growing. And, just because one thing works for someone else, and doesn't work for another, does not mean that their way of growing is inferior or superior to anyone else's

Thanks man, and you're welcome
I just love auto-flowers and learning all that I can about them.
Maybe we need an official auto-flower cannabis thread, because they are quite a bit different than growing your run of the mill photo-period cannabis plants for sure!

Another thing I've tried with autos is just growing them like "houseplants" with an uneven light schedule. for instance, just turning the lights on when ever I wake up, and then turning them off at night, no matter the light duration.
They still flower and finish this way, but I've noticed that it does prolong their flowering cycle by quite some time. This is the only drawback. But, other than that, they still grow and finish nicely

That's really interesting!
The last autos I grew were my own cross I made, Ogreberry x Pink Panther (CBD). I put a single 42w cfl bulb over each plant, 18/6 lightning schedule in 2gal pots. I couldn't believe how good they finished, super frosty & great terps, but the yield was quite small.

Yeah, I mean, if you're growing autos for a huge harvest, then by all means do it right!
However, for those like me, that just like growing cannabis when they are stuck indoors for the winter, and can't grow indoors properly, then autos are very forgiving.
You can still get some smoke in the end, no matter the light schedule, and you have a super cool "houseplant" to look at. It's a win win

Yeah, I just did that grow as an experiment. People like to talk shit about autos, but they definitely have their place. Last year I put a couple outside in May and they were done at the end of July. Fresh outdoor herb in mid-summer, yes please!

I'm pretty sure that all auto-flowers have the ruderalis gene in them. This is what makes them auto-flower

Just saw this thread! I ordered some autoflower seeds just for something to do since I'm recovering from a surgery. I'll have about a 1000 questions since I've never grown weed before. I plan on just growing them in front of my south facing window. Looking forward to it!

Similar to The Marketplace (which I've heard of, but not yet been able to visit). There are numerous places (maybe even The Marketplace) where you can get free seeds, even autos. Hell, most vendors are willing to send out free packs to members of different sites for trial runs. All free. The seed market is ridiculously overpriced, especially when you see how many seeds you can get from one pollinated plant.

Well, shit! Thanks! I'll remember this info for sure. I do have a few seeds but regular ones. Never tried autos before and had the extra cash. That is a steep price, but I paid for it with an xmas gift card.

Started soaking 2 seeds last night around 6-7pm. Might go another 24 hours or until I see a tap root sprout. Got this stuff that should last with enough food until the last couple weeks of flowering. 7 gallon pots. 94 bucks for all this plus 110 for the seeds. (2 bags of soil, 2 trays, 2 inner trays) If I even get a donation for 2-3 ounces at 100 each I'll have broke even. DOesn't matter anyway. I love growing and it's a fairly cheap set up. Now hopefully the HOA or a neighbor doesn't complain. Hopefully some crook doesn't jump the balcony either. 3 floors up and in a highly visible place makes me a little nervous, but we'll see how it goes. I saw a couple of 6 footers last summer 2 buildings down with them on a patio on a second floor. Nothing ventured nothing gained, eh?

One of the seeds popped and had a tiny root showing and the other one looked really close so I just planted them in the pots. The guy at the store gave me some coir/perlite mixture that has little to no nutrients so the seeds can pop and sprout in that medium first. I made a cavern the size of a dixie cup in the potting soil/pots by placing the empty cup in there to hollow out a space, then I put that less nutritious mixture in that space for the seeds to sprout in per his suggestion. They can sell straight up regular cannabis seeds here in a store! I can legally have 4 but only need 2 plants. I'll post the sprouts when it happens and keep a journal here.

The weather will be high 30's and low 40's for a few more nights but last frost is over seemingly. I hope it doesn't effect my autos. I grew in CO and the regular seeds came up in snow and lived through about 2-3 weeks of mid 30's and cold rain and wind there. No sign yet of a sprout.

Still not coming up, hmmm...I popped 2 more in water for 24 hours and they split and had a baby root showing. Put them in the soil a couple days ago. It does state 2-7 days to come up. If they don't show by the end of the week I'll try 2 more.

Godamnit! I was digging in the soil looking for a sprout and broke one off and killed it! I planted another seed just in the soil in that pot to see if it will come up without soaking it in water overnight-2 days like the last few seeds. It did seem to have a yellowing cotyledon on the end of one and it might be due to that "living soil" and the nutes in it I don't really know as I've never used auto seeds or this kind of soil. *SIGH* I'll patiently wait until Sunday and see what happens. Then I'll try to sprout 2 more seeds in a paper towel maybe. I have 5 left.

Hi I love photoperiod because they're so easy to control - FIM (squeeze the very top bit hard) a few times and a single plant will fill my grow room. But.. Last year I harvested my first grow in mid-July, so time was limited. I bought a single feminized White Widow x Big Budda Auto, started in rockwool, then transferred to hydroponincs with a 22 hour light cycle. Germination to harvest was about 14 weeks, so I got her done before the cold weather kicked in. Seven ounces dry and cured. Just one thing with free seeds... How do you know their female? I'd hate to wait weeks (until gender became apparent) just to have to throw a plant away. Worse still, I like my bud seedless, so getting pollen in the grow room means a full deep clean (I had a plant hermie a couple of years back and it was a PITA).

Just looked again and I have one sprout! It's not in a place I thought I placed the seed though, hmmm. Well, as long as it's a plant I'm stoked! I planted a seed without pre-soaking it just today so I might have 2 in one pot which is fine with me really. I'm not trying to max out anything just grow enough to have and share freely. Plus it's cool growing legally for once.

Got a sprout, one week old today. I poked a seed in this pot and planted another one I popped soaking it in water for 2 days. The other seed I put directly in the dirt popped up about one inch from this sprout today! (this pic is one week old today) I didn't know I planted it this close. Should I just let them grow together as an experiment or try to dig it out now and plant it 4in or so away from it? Would that possibly kill them both? Planted another popped seed in the other pot that never got a sprout yet. I should have just planted the seeds straight in the dirt. Now I know. Not too worried about it. I might just let them grow together and thin out in between the two close together and let it grow as one bush.

Good work so far
I'm interested to see how they grow together
It shouldn't be a big problem if you're just growing for yourself for fun
You can just kind of bend them a bit later on
I recommend a photoperiod as well I don't grow auto flowers and won't

They're outside on a balcony. I'm doing it as naturally as possible and don't really care about max yield. Anything I get will be fine with me. I just like growing them in addition to what they give to me. I always share it with everyone that I know that likes weed.

Well, I hate to have done it but I sacrificed one of the plants that were growing too close together. I just couldn't let them grow like that and I probably only need 2 anyway. The little thing smelled really skunky for such a little plant!

Any names for the types/whatever? Love the 4th from the left!
I didn't want 2 crowding each other. I have 4 seeds left anyway, "amnesia haze". I bet I get a seed or 2 out of these outside. I did in Denver when I grew some females outside. They're branching already at 4th stage. The seed co states I could get 5-10 ounces per plant. If I get the least amount that's 10 ounces from 2 plants. More than enough for a year for me until I grow again the next. I could get a second grow in. maybe. It would be July-Sept/Oct. I'll see how this goes.

One got mold and I sprayed it with neem oil a couple of days and I think I saved it, luckily the other one appears to be OK for now. Don't think I'll grow these again, regular seeds next year.

Those look great man! Why no auto-flowers anymore though?

IDK it looks like a little bit for a lot of trouble. I can do up to 4, maybe I'll try another strain. I want to see if regular seeds are susceptible to mold like this one got. Probably, because it was over 75% humidity for months. In hindsight I should have started them this month.

Yeah 75% humidity during flowering is pretty high.

OK, so I'm back into liking these autos. About to harvest one. The other one is about a week or 2 away. Looks like 14 weeks for the 1st one finishing and the trichomes are clear and cloudy with amber tips. I'm cutting it Saturday I think, the other appears to be another week or 2 behind it. I estimate an ounce or so on the 1st one and maybe 1.5-2 on the second one if I'm lucky. Worth it to me to grow them as they are stealthy and low key and not much work to trim and cure it seems. I have 4 seeds left and I'll do all 4 next year as the limit is 4 plants here. This will last me all winter and into spring next year.
