Growing AF

A little unsure of how to grow an AF do i just plant it and let it do its thing? or does it need to be topped and trained ??

    • i'm a bit inexperienced in autos but from what i've read in here some of the growers were treating them like photoperiods. i would think someone with auto experience will chime in here eventually.

      • Some one said earlier that they topped 4 out of 5 plants and the one that was NOT topped the yield was much better by a lot.

      • I grew a jock horror auto that I topped and then put under my Scrog and it turned out to be a fantastic grow.

        • It's hit or miss with any auto flower! You can top, defoliate  but if I were you, 

          Stick with the photoperiod!

                  Pop those things and grow them a bit.  Throw some 12-12 light at them and see what you got!  It will be like Christmas!

                • You can do whatever you want with them except reveg them. The ones I grew inside made a shit load of leaves and when I  would defol they seemed like making more leaves was more important than putting that energy into buds. I still wake up in a cold sweat at night sometimes from the recurring dream of drowning in leaves so grow with caution

                  • If your just starting and your a smoker I suggest you first go buy you a big bag so you won’t be impatient and plant it, let it do its thing, and take plenty of mental and physical notes. After every grow I write down at least 10 things I could have done better on that previous grow or when I grow that particular strain again and try to incorporate some of them into my next grow and all of them into my next grows of that strain. I would also recommend just growing one strain at a time at first. Mixing strains can be difficult if you haven’t ever grown before. You will find out that some plants stretch in preflower a lot more than others. However, you need them to stay the same distance from the light indoors. There are ways around that as well but you will learn all about that with a couple grows under your belt Main thing: Don’t skimp on lighting. If your going to grow good bud it’s better to spend a little more and grow top shelf bud and save electricity while doing it as it is to go subpar with your lighting. Every time I have tried to cut a corner on anything in my grow room it was money waisted. I ended up having to go back and buy the good stuff in the end. Getting into feeding different nutrients to different strains in the same grow and other factors would make a one strain grow better for a newbie in my opinion. Just jump in wide open and have FUN. You need to have plenty of patience. I can’t stress that enough. The flowers aren’t even ready to smoke once harvested and dried. They still like weeks! The cure is one of the most important processes! Don’t get discouraged and also learn all you can and you will be growing top shelf flowers in no time. Probably your first grow with the great genetics available nowadays! They are easy AF to grow! It’s just a weed. To get the full potential out of them is a little different though. That all comes with hands on and equipment mainly along with seeking out information constantly. The more you enjoy being in your garden the better your grows will go. If you don’t have patience I would really suggest you leave the growing up to someone that does enjoy it and just buy there good stuff. You will probably save money and some worries in the long run. Since you signed up on here I feel like you are wanting to learn though so feel free to ask any question you want. The only stupid question is the one not ask. We all started somewhere. We will all try to give you the best answers we can and help you in any way we can. Pictures always help by the way. Having fun is the main thing! Good luck and happy growing my friend!!

                    • I misunderstood the question. I thought you was a new grower that had just signed up on the WP. These new names and unfamiliar ones have me confused. lol I was thinking the "AF" was (as fuck). lol I have topped, fimmed, supercropped, and trained autos many times. My best auto grows was with topping and training. I harvested a little over a qp from a GSC auto about a month ago. I just harvested a Super Skunk auto that I just let do it's own thing and I got a lot less yield from it. I would say to top autos early as possible and train the hell out of them throughout the preflower stretch for the best and biggest yields. That has been my experience with autos. Have fun and happy growing my friend!!

                    • You can leave the light on a auto 24/7 they bud regardless ive mostly grown photo periods and a few autos 18/6 works for them as well. they tend to be a bit shorter in my experience and start flower earlier oh and you still play the guessing game on male and female. As far as topping, and defoliating that doesn't pertain to auto or pp just how you want the structure of your girl . That is just my experience, different strains different gains.

                            • @JM, That's funny AF ...he,he,he, Your first answer is priceless for a new grower, and it wouldn't hurt all growers, new and old, to take notes too. @ CPW I finally got your comment on "autos suck!" Good one ! JM have you ever had an auto that you've grown tested for THC/CBD ? Happy growin
