How To Grow Huge Autoflower Plants! (Garden Talk Episode #20)
How To Grow Huge Autoflower Plants! (Garden Talk Episode #20)
In this episode of Garden Talk, I interview Dr. Autoflower. He has been gardening for 13 years and grows a variety of plants such as tomatoes, herbs, peas, carrots, lettuce, and medicinal plants. In this episode I pick his brain to find out what he does when he grows autoflowers and what he does to maximize yield. What plants do you like to grow? Lettuce, tomatoes, kale, bok choy, carrots, peppers, let us know in the comments section below. If you enjoyed this video please click that thumbs up button 🙂

My cat love it when the light are one
I am 51 yrs old from Surrey. I am proud to say was the 1st hydro capital of the western hemisphere.!!! I have been growing indoor and outdoor for 38 years.!!! I bought my first gram at a arcade in 1984 … FOR THE SEEDS !!! lol. i am going to be starting a channel to spread my wisdom. Purpleglue72.
Green House Powder Feeding short Flowering is also great for autoflower growing.
Using sensi bloom 2 part I find 1/10 of recommended works well for me with autoflowers
In Northern California a 5 gal pot you would have to sit there all day watering the pot Lol
I top mine an it went well
First autoflower I grew was from a free seed, and I was experimenting with DWC at the time, so I started it in a rockwool cube (which meant no transplanting). My container was too small, so I had to add water often, which meant there were almost certainly swings in the pH and PPM. I got seriously slimy roots at one point, so I had to drain my container and awkwardly rinse them twice, plus I added Sensizyme (sp?) to "eat" organic debris in the root zone. In the end, I got over 100g in a 2.5ft x 1ft space under 3ft shop lights. Not bad for a shelf grow using less that 85 watts. Anyway, I do think that the hydroponic delivery of nutrients and no transplanting meant there was nothing to slow down or stunt early growth.
Here’s a auto transplant hack, start them in the small, biodegradable pot. Grow until it gets 8 leaves, drill a bunch of holes in bottom, then plant into your 3-5 pot. Works like a charm everytime, plant doesn’t realized it’s been transplanted…never gets shock. As it grows the roots shoot out the holes you made into the new growing medium. And the cardboard disenegrates
When i started growing used to have every nute bottle there was, now only base nutrients and cal mag. And pk. Kiss is the way here In Finland 🙂
Aw Mr. Grow it… miss ya brother. Come back soon ya know. ✌️
I totally skipped the early LED days, since I was such a small time grower and had a unrealistic fear of fire, I made my own CFL light.
Perfect for Grow, but it SUCKS for Flower haha!
My first LED was Spectrolight and it’s super awesome!
Finally a guy that debunked half of the insane BS details that I’ve seen some of these guys do. I watched a bunch of grow videos just for the entertainment value, I mean really. I watched this one guy micromanaging every single aspect of everything throughout a grow, and all I could think is… Wow, what a waste of time. You’re not growing the plants… You’re pleasuring them lol.😃
First 3 weeks 40% – 50% humidity? How does he call himself? You need to have everything on point to grow loud, potent and rock hard autos … especially autos. The overall quality of your endproduct WILL BE LOWERED! Dont fear high humidity in your grow tent. If you vent constantly and have an alltime airflow right above your plants your fine. Happy growing bois!
I tried transplanting a clone from solo cup to 3 gallon pots and immediately acquired nutrient problems. I asked the girl who works at Andersons garden store and she said that the problem is that all the water and nutrients gravitate towards the bottom and the roots on a young plant are still near the top. So I transplanted them into the next size up (6”) and haven’t had any more issues. So my question is how did you get around this problem? Anybody…?
In the first 20 minutes. The Dr hasn’t given any good info. I dont think I’ll e following him
I’ve used so many nutrients and advanced nutrients wins hands down! Not having to ph especially in hydro is amazing
This guy is growing in an apartment😳…
Autoflowers are cute but photos ps are king. The simple fact that autoflowers are unclonable is redundant and counter productive.
Nice! Learner a lot
Would love to see mr.Canucks on the podcast
Not bad, but what about organics and autos? Advanced nutrients are salty products. No mention here of soil layering; a food free soil on top, like roots organic, and a supersoil on the bottom third of the pot.😊
I found topping was decent with plants in smaller pots and not so much space. but when i used a large pot it wasnt worth it.
Mah Dude keeps repeating, "I keep it simple, I use the K.I.S.S method." Proceeds to list off over 20 different additives/chemicals/nutes in a very involved process. What part of using so many additives/chemicals/nutes is keeping it simple?
Thanks to Dr. Autoflower for coming onto the podcast today!

I don’t know. The temperature thing is different inside as apposed to outside. 90° + is not really a problem outside here in Michigan. The cool nights at the end of flowering photo period cultivars can increase bud rot. Everything grows like a weed here if it gets water. This 50% humidity is not too bad, but powder mildew can be a factor.
TANGS feeding chart is what your looking for
The absolute master of the autoflower
Biobizz is the best
I start in a 3" peet pot and transplant that with it’s bottom removed to final pot.
How can you come online and not remember so many questions, what a waste of time.
I have been Growing Cannabis since 1983 so 40 Years as of 2023 ! Often when I go out to my Greenhouse in the Summer it is often 105 F to 125 in there with a 70 % humidity !!!
Found that HST on the seedlings stunted mine big time.
wich product do i buy to put on the roots when i transplant? i didnt understand it in the video
very helpfull info good vid!
Great video
Why does everyone think denser harder buds are better? That’s how hydroponics grow. Autoflowers grow lovely fluffy huge buds, just let them grow. Opinions vary
Where tf does this guy live that he can’t get access to very basic gardening supplies
Augment Co2 for literally a 30% gain in yield… look up for instructions
MR CANUCKS WHY I GOT INTO GROWING HE KNOWS HIS STUFG
For the record…..i use the fix farm dirty dizen but only caue eit was on sale lol. I loterally immediately removed 4 of the bottles and use them for my roses and sruff oitside. As for the rest you dontnuse them in all stages of growth and if follow thwir feedimg schedule (not thebone on the back of the bottle!) Then you ise very little of it and not very oftem at all. Fornlessnthan $100 i jave enough fertilizer to go theough atnleadt 6 or 7 runs easily. So if you’re using thisnproduct ajd your going theough tjem in or, 2 or 3 grows then you’re definitely using to much.
I follow Dr Autos grow method and always end up with big autos!
"Keeping it simple" lists 50 different additives.
Original started on like the 80s man Jack Herrer
look my firt time auto grow video on my channel, i have topped it once, and defoliated many time and lollipopped once, look how the plant look now.
Didnt know i had auto- transplantes and topped.
Baby is looking dense and full.
Yes. Simple, rain water minimal food.
Nice talk
Thanks!
Dr autoflower is a Blessing and a curse to me. My First Ladys Turn into absolute monsters, i may loose Control xD
High humidity sucks for almost everything.
One of the best tippers, nice one🎉
I now have an Auto called Apple Fritter Auto . Should I top it.? I have another auto and a few more photos
Should I top it? It’s on its 4th node and I’m wondering if I should top it or just grow it but have other seeds
What do you think??
Fine show
I started doin my autos in hydroponics and way bigger and better and I use rain water with advanced nutes they love it
