9 Mistakes To Avoid When Growing Autoflowering Cannabis
9 Mistakes To Avoid When Growing Autoflowering Cannabis
—-Intended for the 18 & over—-
Autoflowers are too easy to grow if you avoid these 9 common mistakes.
Sebastian Good gives you some clues if you’re growing autoflowering cannabis plants the right way, so you can successfully harvest the first time you grow and avoid these common mistakes.
1. KNOWING THE BASICS
To set things straight, let’s begin by saying that autoflowers are really easy to grow. In fact, beginners can try growing autoflowers with little to no experience as long as they understand the basics1. And this is true for all plants. Can you expect to grow tomatoes if you’re clueless about using nutrients? Or, can you harvest cucumbers if you don’t even know when to harvest them? No? Similarly, autoflowers need you to follow a few basic guidelines like other plants, and you’ll do just fine if you take the time to understand them.
2. TIME IT RIGHT
Timing is everything if you’re planning to grow autoflowers outdoors. Since autoflowers don’t depend on light to flower, you don’t need to worry too much. But, planting too early will generate smaller yields and planting too late affects yields too.
3. GERMINATION
For beginners, germinating the seeds is an important part of the entire process. To get better results, soak the seeds in plain water for at least 24 hours and wrap them in moist paper towels for a day or two. Use a ziplock bag to store the towels.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT MEDIUM
Growing plants in hydroponic setups seem very cool, but soil is your best bet if you have no experience. Avoid using clay soils that clump up because autoflowers thrive in well-aerated soil. A soilless medium of equal parts of peat moss or coco peat, perlite, some airy soil, and sand is the best potting mix for autoflowers. If you don’t want to bother about fertilizing at all, you can even try growing autoflowers organically. There are various ways to make your own organic soil, but you can buy some in your local store to start with. Organic soil is premised with nutrients, so it’s ideal for someone that doesn’t have a lot of time. For growers that don’t mind putting in the efforts, composting and building super soil is the best soil mix for autoflowers.

high ph screwed me, overwatering screwed me more.
Starting my first grow. I have nutrients canna terra vega, canna flores, canna Pk 13/14 for nutrients as well as the canna terra professional soil. What other nutrients would be beneficial? I’m running a ts600 light and it’s just for 1 autoflower (strawberry pie by fastbuds)
If you are an indoor beginner….Don’t overwater, don’t overwater, don’t overwater. I use 50ml on germination firstl 5-6 days with a small 7×7 , then hidrate 7l pot with 500ml wait another 6 days then start with 200ml every 2-3 days and check weight of pots before watering. One single watering when wet can mean a small autoflower.
I like your hat dude
Если в кратце – что он сказал?)
😏 fast buds makes me laugh 😹, because they are seeds all plants tend to be completely different so there needs constantly change from individual plants, I can say thou ur doing something right 😉
will too much light onto new seedlings cause them to stunt, about 80% of my seedlings get about 3 inches produce tiny leaves then stop, the few that do recover have tiny rootballs, ive changed my soil down to ph 6.5, no nutes ,
Hi, great video well explained …. How do you fertilize optimally? BioBizz told me to fertilize with every watering, according to the scheme, isn’t that too much for automatics? Isn’t it better to fertilize only once a week? Everyone says something different about it, which kinda confuses me. I hope I get the answer from you. Fertilizing, a book with 7 seals…
So what were the 9 mistakes?
danke für dieses Video das ist mir eine große Hilfe beim nächsten mal möchte ich mal Florganics aus probieren das ist ein mix für Living Soil ……..danke liebes Fast Buds Team
Starting my 4th run ever and I’ve always ran fastbuds!!! My friends that grow are asking me how I’m getting such nice dense buds.. It’s mostly the genetics.. Fastbuds never disappoints!! Cant wait to order another batch. Thanks Fastbuds!!!!! Your videos one each plant are excellent !!! Thanks Sebastian -Odis #fastbuds
in euwe can medium, plagron light Mix,28L pot seed direkt in this pot. After about 2-3 weeks, depending on the size, you can follow the hesi fertilization schedule. i have already seen plants with 100 tomatosof flowers at 20h light indoors
I grew a few autos this year and got a handful of seeds from a couple of them. Wondering if these seeds will be autos as well, or just regular photo period? Any advise is appreciated!
15 l pods biobizz light mix and hesi nutrition always great results with fastbuds Produkts so far great genetics in my opinoin 420 fastbuds Best Breeder 👍👍👍👍👍👍
What about indoor lighting ?
Good info…thanks…
Is a 10gal pot a choice for autos
Thanks much great content… question how far apart should you have your plants both length and width ??
So we shouldn’t use a jiffy or something similar and put it afterwards in a pot? But i thought the plants need for the start something with less nutrients
had 24 purple lemonade , not 100% sure how ..think i stressed them out to much ..but managed to make them ALL hermie 4 weeks from harvest , got about 100 seeds to pick out now , gently pulled off a few …none have turnt purple either , just got a bit darker towards the end ….anyone know how to stop this? temps were fine ..room was fine …just think they got stressed from de foliating too much ?
You are NOT supposed to use rocks as drainage in the bottom of pots! There are videos about it! Your science is off bro
Посадил blue dream fast buds )
Is happy frog, perlite and Gaia green a good choice for autos
Hello, i bought couple seeds from fastbuds and i have germinated, after i put it in the soil, how much time should i wait to give it a root expander and base nutrients for grow phase?
