Auto Growers Unite: A Community Thread

I have 3 Fast Buds GSC plants, they are getting along great, I ordered a couple of Illuminautos - the Sour Crinkle and Blue Toof, I got some Auto Cush free. I have a big baby Sour Crinkle, still waiting of the other two to burst. Can't wait to have the big girls throwing out giant frosty buds !!

I want to do some training on my autos but don't want to stress them too much either. Backbuilding seems like a good one to do. Thanks! ..

Question on nutes - I was planning on using general hydroponics but just heard they were purchased by miracle grow. Am I ok with general hydroponics or should I switch to something else?

I ordered my Mephisto beans a fortnight too early ! I am very happy with the three I have ended up with, I will keep an eye and grab some more strains when they drop more freaky strains.

I like an (advanced nutrients) ph perfect grow/micro/bloom & their additives. Ck out danthegrowman.com as I heard straight from an rep that either there, or your local grow shop could advanced nutrients say it’s product is authentic/& not out of date. Just FYI. Also dan has great bundle packages. I’ve shopped around. You could find on amazon or eBay, but that product may be out of date.
 
Just an observation. If you plan to LST? Plant the seedling to one side of the pot. That way when it is bent...the growth is toward the center of the pot, instead of growing off to one side.

You know, I realized that I should have done that on my first grow, but due to smoking too much, I somehow forgot to do it again. Lol. Now I've got one branch all hanging over edge of me pot like a bloomin beer gut!:rofl:
