I will have two auto flowers and one photoperiod that will be growing outside and if my photoperiod ends up being a male, I will have to separate it from the two auto flowers. I will let the photoperiod Continue to grow if it’s a male because I will want to harvest the seeds. How far apart do you guys think I will need to separate them to reduce the chance of pollination? In the worst case scenario, if the photoperiod ends up being a male and it pollinate the two auto flowers, I would be able to harvest a lot of seeds from these three plants. Not an ideal situation, but I could do it.

This AUTO flower is also going to be moving and grown outside when it gets bigger. This

I’m assuming the leaves faded and turned yellow because it has a nutrient deficiency. I would think Fox farm Ocean Forest would have enough to last three weeks but apparently not. Since it’s in a really small pot I’ve only been given it about 100 to 150 cc of water every 3 to 4 days and I just watered it and gave it the first round of nutrients in the last picture I posted.

This autoflower seed came out of a Fast Buds "Mixed Pack" so I do not know which strain it is. I started them indoors inside an AC Infinity grow tent and in about three weeks I will move her outdoors to finish out her cycle.

This plant came from a random seed I found in a dispensary bag and since we have dozens and dozens of bags I don't know which one it came out of...so the strain is unknown. I’m not sure whether it’s a photoperiod or an autoflower, but I’m assuming it’s a photoperiod for now. I started it indoors in a tent, germinating the seed using the paper towel method before planting it in a small quart-sized pot. It’s been growing for a few weeks in Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil, but the leaves have just started to fade, so I’m preparing to transplant it into its final home—a 50-gallon pot outdoors now that it’s spring. The 50-gallon pot is filled mostly with standard potting soil, mixed with Fox Farm Ocean Forest and perlite. A few weeks after transplanting, I’ll begin feeding it a combination of liquid nutrients including Advanced Nutrients, Fox Farm, CalMag, and Mikrobs Microbial Superpack. I’ll also top-dress with worm castings and other amendments as needed. If the plant turns out to be male, I’ll harvest the pollen or any seeds it produces. If it’s female, I plan to grow it as large as possible—which is why I’ve chosen such a large pot and moved it outdoors.

I started feeding liquid nutrients this week. Although I’m using Nature’s Living Soil Super Soil Autoflower Concentrate mixed with Fox Farm Ocean Forest—so technically I could water only until harvest—I decided to begin liquid feeding in Week 3 at half the recommended dose. I also have a Tray2Grow Autopot system for automatic bottom feeding, but I haven’t activated it yet. When using liquid nutrients via top feeding, I’d need to turn the Autopot system off and wait until the plants absorb all the water in the tray before feeding from the top. Afterward, I’d have to manually turn the system back on. That seems like a hassle compared to just hand-watering and feeding. I could technically add the liquid nutrients to the Autopot reservoir, but that somewhat defeats the purpose of the system. The tank holds 25 gallons—enough to last a few weeks—but if I want to change or rotate nutrients weekly, I’d have to dump the remaining water and remix the solution each time. If I wanted to feed nutrients every other watering, I’d be changing out the tank every 3 days. Plus, liquid nutrients can cause buildup, so I’d need to clean the reservoir and all the tubing regularly. For now, I’ll stick with hand-watering and top feeding. I’ll only switch to the Autopot system if I need to leave town.
