10 to 50 grams per plant Regular autoflowering plants are usually small and will yield somewhere from 10 to 50 grams per plant. But there are some exceptions that can yield up to 100 grams a plant but that goes into the SUPER autoflower territory.

Final cannabis cure • Once you have determined that your cannabis buds are mostly dry, it’s time to cure them. Step 1: • Place the trimmed buds into some type of airtight container. • Pack the flowers loosely into your containers, filling them all the way to the top without compacting or crushing the buds. Step 2: • Seal the containers and place them in a cool, dry, dark spot to finish the curing process. • Within the first day, you will notice that the buds are no longer crunchy and dry on the outside, as moisture from inside the flowers rehydrates the outer portions. • If this is not the case, you have over-dried your cannabis. Step 3: • During the first week, open the containers several times per day and let the flowers “breathe” for a few minutes. • This allows moisture to escape and replenishes the oxygen inside the container. • If you notice the odor of ammonia when opening a container, it means the buds are not dry enough to be cured and anaerobic bacteria are consuming them, which will lead to moldy, rotten cannabis. • After the first week, you will only need to open the containers once every few days or so. • After 2 to 3 weeks in containers, your cannabis will be cured enough to provide a quality experience, but 4 to 8 weeks of cure time will improve it even more.

Training your plants • Once you’ve got at least 1–2 auto harvests under your belt, feel free to branch out and experiment with topping and training. • Just remember to only try these techniques on young, healthy autos. • Plants that have been over/underwatered, are suffering from nutrient problems or pest infestations, or simply aren’t growing as vigorously as others won’t have the strength to properly recover from the stress of training/topping. Training Process • When training/topping autos, it’s also super important to start early. • To avoid stressing your plants as they flower, we recommend you start training or topping them as soon as they’ve developed 3–4 nodes. • Most autos start flowering in as little as 3–4 weeks after germinating, and stressing your plants close to this time may stunt their growth or ability to bloom, resulting in disappointing yields. • Finally, when experimenting with training techniques on autos, it’s always best to start with lower-stress techniques first. LST (Low-Stress Training) • LTS is, as the name suggests, a training technique that inflicts a low degree of stress on your plants. • It involves gently bending the main stem of your plant and tying it down using wire, string, or pipe cleaners. • Over time, this technique teaches your plants to grow outwards rather than upwards, and allows for better light exposure to all bud sites. • LST is easily one of the best training techniques for autos. • It can be performed on very young plants and helps open up the canopy, which ultimately produces bigger, better flowers.

2000 to 5000 lumens per square foot of growing autoflowering plants. Regularly adjust CFL bulbs so they are within 4″ of plants but not burning them. You want a minimum of 100 - 300 actual watts "per plant" total. There are bulbs with different CFL color spectrums and it’s generally recommended to get “daylight” (6500k) CFLs for the cannabis vegetative and “soft white” (2700k) CFLs for the flowering stage. Each color spectrum has a small impact on how the plant grows (ex: 6500k encourages slightly more squat growth).

80 Organic soil - 10% Perlite - 10% Peat moss or Coco Coir Autoflowering strains are similar to photoperiod varieties in that they prefer a slightly acidic soil medium. Growers should try to keep their soil within an optimal pH range of 6.2–6.5.

18/6 LIGHT CYCLE Cannabis is a C3 plant, meaning it can absorb CO₂ for photosynthesis even during light hours. And since autoflowering plants have short vegetative phases and often grow shorter than photoperiod strains, you’ll typically want to give your autos at least 18 hours of light. This allows for robust growth, without overspending on energy. Your autos love light just as much as traditional photoperiod strains, they just don't rely on it to begin bloom

Basically at the early stages of autoflowering plants life (pre-flowering) the humidity must be somewhere between 40% and 70 % but it should not surpass the 90 % mark or else the plant will really suffer and will not be able to evaporate the absorbed water trough the leafage.

Get a soil moisture meter that shows exactly how moist the soil is and you know exactly when to water the plant! You should always allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Normally around 1/2 gallon seems to do the trick for a 3-3.5 gal pot. In the veg stage, every 5-7 days would be good. On average every 3-4 days when you are heavy into flowering. I just water until a little comes out the bottom of the container.

Initial cannabis drying • Cut the branches from the plants, remove unwanted leaves, and then hang the branches from string or wire. • You will need to keep the harvested cannabis in a dark room with temperatures kept within the 60-70°F range and humidity between 45-55%, with a small fan to gently circulate the air. • This is crucial to preserving the flavor and aroma of your harvested bud in the finished product, so it’s recommended that you have a dehumidifier, A/C unit, or another method for ensuring that conditions stay in this range. • When the flowers feel a little crunchy on the outside and the smallest branches snap when you bend them rather than fold, you’re ready for the next step. • Depending on the density of the flowers and the environmental conditions, it can take anywhere from 5 to 15 days for the initial drying to be complete. WHAT HUMIDITY LEVEL SHOULD YOU AIM FOR WHEN DRYING CANNABIS? For best results, you should hang or otherwise position your trimmed buds in a dark room with good air circulation and a relative humidity of about 45–55%.

The ideal temperature for your autoflower plant should be (80 to 85F) and you should maintain this temperature for the entire plants life cycle.
