Fabric Pot size question for Autoflowers.
Southpaw666started grow question 4 years ago
Question for anyone that grows Autos, wondering if a 5 Gal fabric pot is more than ample space to grow to maturity in or if they can require a bigger space ?

5 gallons is the max I'd use. Anything past that is a waste of money on unused soil. And the cost of extra water to water where roots will never be. Stick to a 5g it will be perfect! 1g per 1 ft of plant is the general rule. And autos hardly get over 4 ft if ever! Happy growing!

5-gal is plenty.. .a 3-gal is good for all but the "XL" autos that exist.
whether in soil or coco may matter.. but 5gal with auto should be more thnan ample in soil too...
i usually check rootball after i harvest to see if it's crowded or other issues... there's plenty of space in a 3-gal after a grow with a ~normal autoflower.

Outdoor growers: fim/top?I want to make sure to clarify that this question is only for outdoor growers with a photoperiod limited solely by the nature of the changing seasons.
Should I even bother with fim/topping? Is the juice worth the squeeze? Let me know your thoughts, or even better, resultsSetup. Outdoor

growing outdoorHi growers, I'm planning to grow three plants this month. It's my second time growing outdoors. Temperatures currently range between 15 and 22 degrees, but they will likely be higher in a few weeks. Is it warm enough to start? Which strain (auto) would you advise me to grow?Setup. Outdoor

I'm a newbie and i don't know how i should water my seeds. Please helpI put seeds in a paper towel and then planted them in small pots but still nothing popped out of the soil. Should i use a spray bottle for now or should i just pour water on the soil? Cause i don't think spraying it reaches all the way down but i think pouring drowns the seed.Setup. Outdoor

Flecken auf Blatt und Halm oder Helikopter-MutterDie 2 Flecken auf dem vorderen Blatt und die dunklen Stellen am Halm beschäftigen mich ein bisschen. Glaubt ihr, die Pflanze hat ein Problem oder mache ich mir mal wieder zu viele Sorgen?

Bract/calyx turning brownHey fellow growmies,
i noticed brown bract/calyxes on one of my plants. (week 12, auto, 20 % amber)
Iwasnt't worried until I found them inside of some buds while checking for budrot.
Should I be concernend (cut the buds), or is this just the circle of the plant life or genetics?

Amber and still many clear trichomesApproaching harvest time and im confused with still seeing a lot of clear trichomes.
I identify already about 40%+ amber trichomes at the top of the main cola fading to 20% amber in the middle of it.
Lower buds/colas have 20% amber.
Am i just overreacting over nothing?

Burned tips and white spotsHi, I have a auto plant in its 7th week. Today I noticed that it has burned tips. The white spots have been there for longer, I dont know if they are related to the same problem.
Im new to this and what I came up with is that the white spots could be a cal defincentcy?

Fast flowering strain takes long to start flowering.Why is the honey cream which is the plant that was noted as the fastest flowering plant of the three strains I have, the one that's the furthest behind in the flowering stage
She does receive a bit less light than the other two strains

Best way to move outdoors?I plan on moving her outside in the 5 gal grow bag outside in a few weeks once she's matured a bit. I've been using ph 6.5 balanced tap water in a tent to water thus far. Should I still be measuring ph when I'm watering outside? Won't rainwater undo any ph balancing?Week 1
