How to optimize Outdoor Autoflower Yield?
GreenInDixiestarted grow question 6y ago
Question for the crowd - in an outside grow where vertical space isn't an issue, what's the best method to optimize yields for autoflowers? Topping seems out of the question given the nature of autoflowers, and I'm not sure what benefits LST would really give.

Hi!
I have been in that understanding that in an outdoor grow the best for yields is to let the plants grow naturally!
Sunlight has so much UV light and it will penetrate through leaf surfaces so no need to defoliate and the sun moves so much in the sky that the sun rays will hit almost every part of the plant during the day that you dont need to optimize that much.
In an indoor grow training are done cos artificial light wont penetrate through leaves and the light is only in one position in the tent.

Hey gardener! Since the autos are limited by pot size, you need to make a big deep hole so the roots can break through, and that alone should change a lot of things. Otherwise, a good training where you spread the branches away from the trunk with string. And overload your soil with nutrients if it's in the ground. Good luck!

Hey at LST there is the advantage in there instead of big slim plants, to get smaller thicker bushes :-)

You can top autos just check out my Moby dick auto diary put that theroy to the test and actually the topped ones are bigger.
If top them can at least double the colas. If late switch can top a bunch of times before goes into flower.
Would think just spreading out the branches would give you more yield as well.
Can't do a whole lot with autos.

Should i do LST or not ? Or maybe LST one Plant, let one grow natural ?this is my third ever grow, and i was wondering if its worthy letting a plant grow natural, So far my two first plants i have done LST on, will the yield be impacted a lot when its being grown natural ? What do you think, should i give letting it grow natural a chance or do LST ?

I made a lot of mistakes in my first harvest. The seeds I bought as autoflowering are photo. I took it to 12 hours at week 11. also although my plants are 4 weeks the flowers are very slow and very small. I have 15 trees. The reason must be the weather, which is 7-10 degrees. N…

Do you micromanage your grow...I do!?"Poll" question...how many of us spend enormous time caring for our plants. Checking temperatures, humidity, water, nutrients, air turnover, light, canopy, VPD, pests, supplements and just about everything...all the time!? Maybe it gets easier with better equipment/knowledge lol.
