Auto vs photoperiod lighting
shibitybibitystarted grow question 4 years ago
Is there a way to know if a plant is an auto or photo? This seed was from a random bag so im not sure what it is. I have another plant that is an auto because i bought those seeds. So, should i just keep the light cycle 18/6 for the auto, or should i move to 12/12?

Hi !
Volg mee met de andere plant, de autoflower die je al staan hebt.
Als het willekeurige zaadje een autoflower is zal hij uit zichzelf gaan bloeien, soms zelfs al vanaf week 4 (als je een snelle bloeier vasthebt😉)
Dan zal je het weten.
Zeker niet naar 12/12 gaan, maar afwachten.
Je gaat je andere plant verstoren.
Dus hopen op een autoflower zou ik zeggen🤞
Veel succes met groeien!🌱

Most autos will start flowering between week 3-6 on a vegetave light cycle. If it hasn't by say week 6, think about changing to 12/12🌱👍

I would get auto close to done so fading and switch your light schedule then to flower the photoperiod. If growing together.

Easy answer: if it starts blooming at week 3 to 5 with 18/6 cycle, it is an auto. If not:change when you find it convenient to 12/12

You will know if it’s an auto by at least week five—- after that—- keep it around or flip it whenever. Patience will tell you what it is. Good luck ✌️🏻💚🌿

keep it on the 18-6 if it is an auto it should show anywhere between 5-6 weeks, if it is a photo period it will not show any pre flower. put the plant in the 12 12 if it does not show

Is she already flowering??? I hope notDid I just see flowering hairs starting to grow? See pics
In that case she clearly doesn't get enough light, probably because I placed her inside for most of the last 4 days because of the rain (that has luckily stopped) but I did place her some sort in front of the window.

Best drying and cure methodWith so much info on the net, so many different techniques, what’s the best way to dry and cure flowers for best taste and smoothness. I’m interested to hear ways to do it without a tent, in the case other girls are ripening in there. I understand you need empty tent to dry? TxBuds. Other

Harvest from top to bottom ok?Can you harvest from top to bottom? If some of the buds lower need a day or 2 more is it ok to cut off what is done and leave the rest to finish or do you have to do it all at once? Does it affect it negative or positive either way? Input and advice greatly appreciated.Buds. Other
