Autoflower grow

[RickJames]

Hey all, I haven’t used auto flower seeds before.

 

How would they go if I did a small outdoor grow in about a month or two?

 

Cheers

So many variations and variables to this question Rick ?

what area of Australia do you live in ? Without understanding any of that the best advice I can offer with little information here is,

autos like deep pots - this is so there tap root can just power the deeper the pot is more crucial for success then the diameter of the pot 

autos like sun- sounds obvious but if your auto can receive maximum daylight direct sun the better your success will be 

autos like light loose soil- this is a major one in my opinion, if it’s outdoors and not in pots try to dig your holes deeper the better (800 deep) and about min450 diameter, if you can, a mixture of perlite, vermiculite, worm castings, coco, and premium grade Seed raising raising mix ( won’t go into ratios but the lighter the soil mix for the tap root and roots to go mad the better) 

- if it’s natural dense soil you may struggle with yield  but again if you get the depth for the roots and potential for a clay breaker you may get a yield of some weight 

autos like fertilisers- go go juice , seasol are you friend , then some sort of rose slow release pellets during flower 

Autos like water and sun water and sun water and sun 

 

good luck hope this little bit of info helps in some way

I live in Sydney mate, thanks heaps for the info.

This will be my third grow, first time with autos though.

I’ll probably put them in pots because I am renting and might have to move them for an inspection. What depth pots would you recommend?

 

Cheers

Something like a long black plastic pot like you occasionally see roses in at the nursery……. Again they don’t have to be overly big in diameter but it’s depth that matters ….. my experience your generic black pot plant from any nursery or bunnies are not deep enough for reasonable yields 

hope that helps

 

if it’s your first go at autos outdoor have a back up plan for smoko….. they do take several years to dial in great results
