Some hippies claim to have the wizardly ability to simply LOOK at the butt end of a seed and tell by its shape if it is m or f (since no weed plants identify as a helicopter). Probably some truth to that so you got a shit bag from someone with that skill. Simply feed the male plants to your rabbits, spray the females with silver and roast it. If its good then plant those seeds. If they suck then give them to some dumbass who doesnt know or plant them in the planter outside the local police station or other glownigger building. They always have 'Nature Bandaids' that are well watered and fertilized. I planted one in a mall years ago. It made the news. Pretty sweet actually.
I think the main thing for me is being able to grow them inside when its cold and bring thm out to the greenhouse in the summer. Or vice-versa without fucking them up. Right now we might have 7 hrs of daylight and in summer its about 16hrs. So its hard to grow something that is dependent on light duration.
Well... What have you learned about light spectrum and flowering? Temp has nothing really to do with this plant as long as the temp involved is above 65 or so What do you know about Veg lights vs Flower lights? Plants need a veg light to grow and a flower light to flower... They need a veg light 24/7 and a flower light 11/13ish. You are essentially tricking the plant to make it think that fall is coming and it better get its ass in gear and make flowers since light is decreasing.
Autos are great. They are small though and if you get a few ounces dried and trimmed you are doing really good. Off of a big photo plant you can get a pound pretty easy but you have to be outdoors to really get that to happen. You are far north. If you can store weed, just plant your seeds indoors in like feb/march under a dedicated veg light. They will be small so its not like you need a room. A single bulb is more than enough. When they look good stick them in 5 gallon pots until frost passes. When frost is gone stick them outside in wire baskets lined with fabric. The BEST soil you can make. Probably 500 gallon pots? Something like that? Steady water and keep adding fertilizer through summer solstice. After that only water until they flower out then stop watering almost entirely so the buds start to dry on the plant. When you have nice flowers watch the pistils.
Ask the breeder who gave you your seeds what the pistols should look like and what the trichomes should look like when harvest is imminent. Then look for that. I like dopey weed so I harvest late. Some people like that twitchey stuff and harvest early. When you get your harvest dry it on racks until it is cracking crumbly dry. I like to shake it into crude hash so if this is your thing then do so and it stores better. If not then pack it somehow so its moisture and temp and light levels are appropriate.
To do more than one or 2 plants this way is pointless because there is no fucking way you could smoke that much weed. You will get a few pounds per photo plant this way. You would die of lung failure before you smoked it all. No reason to do autos under lights unless you are HIDING your grow... which means its illegal... which means you are the cops since all cops are drug dealers.
I've been starting them and keeping t5 bulbs at 16 hrs. When they start to bud I was told to drop it to 12. I put them in 10g growbags. Having them outside most of the time except the last month then I had to move 13 8 ft tall plants I to my basement and they were infected with mites. I got 1000 ladybugs to kill them and let them loose in my basement. The ladybugs shit these little black pellets that got all over the buds. I had to wash all of it in base/acid/water and get rid of the bugs and shit. I hung it all ~4.5lbs and stored it in gallon glass jars. I don't want to go through all that again. But I know there is a better way.
Thats a great idea but I live in the middle of nowhere and the nearest town is an hour away. And most of those cops are the drug dealers. Shieet we just got a cell tower a year ago. I'd have to drive 40 min just to get a signal before that. Anyway so with autoflowers, ill always run the risk of a high% Male? But have the advantage of the plants not being photo dependent right? With the fems they are always female but if the lights get fucked up they could flip to male?
Well, lets say that you live in a cave... no natural light. You have a nuclear reactor you stole from a Submarine though which gives you infinite power so what to do? Well, you simply sell power from your reactor and use the money to buy artificial lighting. You set up a line of rooms that have different lights on them (light differences can force flowering). First small room is for seeds. Second room is for vegitation, third room is for flowering and 4th is to finish and dry. Last is the trim room... Sound complex and expensive? IT IS. So simply plant autoflower femninzed seeds, then you only need ONE rooom. You start, grow, flower, finish, trim, and dry them all in the same room with the exact same lights because they autoflower and never make pollen (in theory) because they are feminized. You plant them every week and harvest every week. Endless income and infinite easy expansion... Just buy one of those cannabis grow bibles and read shit online. Thats how I know all this. Thats all Agent Smith needs to know to grow weed.
What could possibly go wrong? :)
