I got a seed order a few months ago and received as a freebie, 1 Cheese Auto Fem from Canuk Seeds. I had no intention of growing it but with spring coming now and seeing a few others mention growing some outdoor autos I thought I'd give it a shot. I did the water then the paper towel deal and once there was a tap root I put it into a pot with MiraclGro potting soil and stuffed it in the humidity dome with a T5 for lighting. It poked out of the soil yesterday. I plan to top it after the third node and re pot it to a five gallon container before putting it outside on the deck in a few weeks. I've got zero experience with soil, autos or outdoors so any help is welcome. Not going to start another journal for this, I'll just throw out a blurb and a couple of pictures every once in a while in this journal.

Why not top it?
Only water when you think she has 10 minutes left to live. When the bottom of the pot could be the Sahara desert. When she wilts, you will know how long she can go without water.
Soil is hard to judge dryness. I found I watered too often, and too much at first. When she is small. Small dosages of water will be better than soaking the pot.
Now i dont know anything about autos, but ive read more than once that autos arent to be topped.
Oh good i was gonna feel pretty God damn stupid if no one ever heard that! HahaThanks Bonsai, I'll remember that.
I've read that too Stltoed, in fact several times. Yet, it seems like everyone is successfully doing it???

Hard to argue with your results! Im gonna hop back over the fence and stick to what i know.
There is my Jack Herer Auto, topped once at day 21. If you do it earlier in the life cycle, they are fine. The genetics are improving at such a fast rate its crazy. What we have available today is so much better than what was available 2 years ago...both from a yield and a stability standpoint.
I held that old school belief on autos but I think a lot of that was misinformation or just not applicable to the genetics available today.
Not at all trying to run you off brother.....just don't want the sentiment that i used to believe to be true (and I avoided them for that reason as well as a few other reasons) to be spread. Hell there are people now that transplanting them....even in flower and the plants are hardly batting an eye. They are much more resilient than they were.....its part of the reason so many breeders are jumping on the band wagon.
I am a photo guy. Love my photos. Even growing that auto semi successfully (I say semi successfully cause I haven't harvested her and its never successful until you get there) I still don't want to grow many of them. Perhaps one or two a year....compared to about 20 photos per yer. But this grow has at least opened my eyes to the possibility.
Yep yep. Im putting one in as soon as the mamas finished!.Dark Devil is the main one I want to try.
