Quick question. I'm a first time grower, and I bought some seeds from the Attitude Seedbank. White Widow Auto and Critical + Auto. I just want to know how tall I can expect them to grow. They're being grown outdoors. Are autoflowering strains usually shorter?
3-4 max. They will skip most of the growing stage and start to flower at approx one month
How long would they usually flower for? I know that's more specific to each strain, but I'm growing White Widow and Critical + from Dinafem.Quote:

Growing half on natural light, half on cfl.
It is about 70cm now and I can imagine it will be atleast 1m.
Don't take my example as the norm though. I'm new to this and I don't think my auto is behaving the way it should
I'd guess flowering is the normal 8 weeks. I don't think auto flowering flower for less than normal.
I think they just veg for less time.
I'm a newbie
If that's the case, then they're perfect. That's what I was hoping for. It's late in the season and I'm only going to have them planted at the beginning of August. So if they veg for a month, and flower for two they'll finish right on time at the end of October.Quote:

An eighth of what? Anyone I've talked to that grow autoflowering strains have gotten at least half an oz to an oz from each plant. If you're getting 3.5 grams per plant, I think you're doing something wrong.Quote:

Shovel....the regulars are still growing and they're just a wee bit bigger than the autos, I'll let ya know......
Do you think these auto flower or feminized seeds have any play in hermies problem??
I have two of the 60 Day Lemon auto flowering strain. They are now flowering. After harvest can I clone them?
That would be quite difficult.
Cloning auto-flowers is problematic.
However, you might at least try a re-veg.
Give them 24 hours if intense light and see what happens
Never heard it to work on an auto-flower, but whattaya got to lose?
You do have a lot of drainage holes in those coffee tubs, yah?
Aloha, new friend, carry on.
:cool:
Weezard
waste of time....
autoflowers are wank!
No, auto flowers can't be cloned
Plant a regular strain late and it will flower when the nights get long enough..............an "auto flower" that will produce some real product.Quote:

Out of all the replies, only one was relevant to the original post... Good job guys :P
You got your answer to your first two questions (how tall do autos grow and are they shorter than normal plants)Quote:

I think you also got some good opinions on auto-flowering plants. So the thread got hijacked but the question was a good one. It got some good answers.
If you want to be a smart mouth you'll find less of the knowledgeable people answering your questions. Fact.
