torgul2000started grow question 4 years ago
Hello everybody, I' begin a single session with some Kannabia's Baby Boom Auto in differents pot sizes: 6.5L, 10L, 13L, 20L, and 25L. Fertilizing: some with pellets and some with specific autoloflo fertilizer (Bio Technology). What about techniques to use? Breeder said nothing

Hello 👋, With autoflower i think most people would say to stick with low stress methods..... natural tree shape with just leaf tucking, LST, and then defoliation. But if you sprouted 5 seeds? Maybe do some experiments.... try topping the healthiest most resilient plant. There may not be much data yet because there hasn't been anyone to show that the strain handles higher stress methods. Happy growing. ✌️

Thank you all for your kind and fast answers. i will go for a LST technique on some and let them grow naturally for others. tests has to be done on this strain (already growed indoor, but not under 20/24 or 18/24...only 12/12 as complementary strain in the box). Sure low fertilizing solution will be the best one for this sensible strain. Grow diary will be updated as regular as possible

oh about pot sizes... take not of when it doesn't impact size of plant -- small smaple size, but you'll see that pot size will impact that, possibly. 6.5l is less than 2 gallon... might get tight ever 3 months... might not matter. if in coco, you can overcome a smaller pot by feeding more. THat's not an option in soil as you'll waterlog it trying to get as many nutes to roots.

LST - simply bending and tying down will do wonders for an autoflower and no risk of stalling it by cutting it. Every day lost is a big deal with autoflower yields. the pellets can be awesome, i'm sure. Don't take this the wrong way or have buyer's remorse. But, they will likely be harder to dial in over time.. but once dialed in they will make for easy grows, i'm sure. The problem is predicting differences in plants yo haven't grown before.. what one can handle another will get sick over etc etc. So, you'd probably want to deduce some minimum amount ot add that is virtually guaranteed to never cause problems, but then also hve to add a dose of this or that later in grow more often based on symptoms. sounds like those are designed for autoflowers... may be even better than what i describe and easier to use... just becareful with it. If issues crop up, i'd lean toward assuming it's a toxicity unless incredibly obvious and chekcs all boxes for soemthign else - including recent behaviour.

I'd stick with lst and hst. As you don't want to top imo. Anything that can slow down their growth will just hurt yield. Cheers and happy growing!

Most autoflowers will grow like a Christmas tree shape but not always. If you're growing outside you don't really have to train them and they probably won't grow taller than 120cm ish but one topping at the 5th node wouldn't hurt them. Personally I would just try and spread them out with lst and make sure they get plenty of sun.

Hi, The best way to grow autos is Low Stress Training. No topping or other high stress trainings. Autos don't have time to recover, every day is important so if you want to maximize yield and buds quality: LST 💪👍 Good luck
