Honestly, I don’t worry a little bit of yellowing. Usually just a little nutrient burn or lack of potassium which is really fucking hard to correct when you’re new to growing. My first plant a couple years ago was a lot of experimenting with feeding her
Week 3 is too early in my opinion week 4 you have more branch
You can’t top autos
Wow flushing an auto?! That blows a duck
Im going back to dirt….Im an old man…Wondering If I can use my liquid feed from my hydro set up ?? the micro, the grow and then the bud?
Thanks for the info. But it could have done without this shity music
For all the beginners out there: Just buy good, high quality soil that is made especially for growing cannabis. This way you don’t have to think about nutrients or ph levels in the early stages of the grow. And you really don’t need to get fancy with the watering, just use normal tap water. Works every time. Growing is not rocket science!
(⬆️⬆️name above)Hi, there. Thank you for sending my order (weed) out so quickly. I am very impressed with your service, you have kept me informed througout the whole process, and I will most definately be purchasing from you again. many thanks.
Hey, Ive watched nearly all of your videos, i am a beginner but looking to upgrade my light, i want to spend under $500, what would you recoments please, i have a 200x120x120 grow tent
Can you top past week 4? 🤔
Beginners. Not afraid of mistakes. As a beginner I’ve documented everyday to every other day, week by week. So far they’re looking good. No issues at the moment I’ll do a splash of cal mag an the rest water.
You never mix different kinds of chemical lines!!!! Nutrient deficiency
Tbf with auto flower varietys you must look at there ratio of genes so how big they get in general, big tip dnt top autos just lst and scrog net um bro defo in weeks 3 and 6, I will say this try and keep ya nutes in the low zone at first they will only need water for the first week, then add low dose of nutes then up it only every time you see new growth, dnt feed untill you see the vigour a hungry plant looks for food, and in turn will have a big roots system if we feed auto on lower doses they thrive go to. Flower food at week 2 of flower after a flush, autos dnt need lots of food just a decent amount, they grow fast and can extract nutes very well out of the medium, in coco always add a tad of cal mag but only if you use Ro water, if it’s good tap water it will have mg cal in it, always watch for leaf clawing they a sign of over water and N tox 😉sme autos like a bloom feed from the get go I have found to, I once seen one done on tomato nutes lol 😁 and it was very good, so experiment and look for tha sweet spot, dial it in as I say each time I do something new I aways find out the cons to it not the pros the cons mean more
So have you found higher yeild with topping an auto? I found they are SIGNIFICANTLY smaller and no better quality at all….let me know what you’ve found!!!
I have a plant about 7 ft y’all growing outside. Frost is coming soon and this plant is just now starting some beautiful buds growing and I would like to bring it indoors by digging it up and potting it and try to finish the grow. Can I top the plant now as it is too tall. Plz help
Can I stop it further down if I let it get a little too tall? It’s still only like 25/30 in tall, but I think I waited too long
ive heard though that seeing as autos grow time is shorter then photos, its not a good idea to top autos as it could stunt growth?
ide just do lst 3x but hella bossy girl bub
What lights are u running
I’m so tired of seeing these lame intros with the annoying music.
Hey Guys, just low stress training for autos.
i think you need more intense lighting… whats your par rating
Song name of the song at about the 1:00 mark? Anyone?
Downvote for alcohol in the video. Stop promoting this deadly drug.
This was soooOOOO helpful. For us newer growers sometimes we forget how to do something basic, for me, it was this. NOOOooow I remember how to do it. Which is great considering I’m growing some Putang (I know-not an autoflower) and wanted more clones. I fucked up topping the mother, got pissed at myself and took 5 branches for cuttings. I’m growing them now and didn’t want to screw up again. THANKS, Begginer BUDZ! The Putang mama turned a beeauUtiful purple, I want more!
great video and tips
dont topp af .. wtf 😅
Ty

Weed Cannabis
topping an auto flower yup you lost me at that. low stress training is the way for autos
Is It bad that a plant has some leaves that only have 3 leaves Instead of 5?
How long after topping did you being lst
Iron deficiency
What if I cut all the leaves for 8 weeks n just keep top
Omg thank you for a close up of the plant And when to top! I’m growing my very first one and I’m trying to judge when was time. This was perfect!
1:31 nice voicecrack haha
Cannabis is the most crappie drug you can take. Only idiots take it
Blah blah blah . Dang I’m just trying to learn when, how to top a plant but not listen to loud EDM and a 15min vid ya gotta sit through to get to the point
At minute 2:00 there a problem on the leafs and, as he says, there’s a problem of too much nutrients. I do have the same problem only on one plant, the other sister is growing big and healthy. How can I fix this problem on the leafs if I am using already (all mix – biobizz) a fertilized soil? I’m only giving them a ph water until the 5th week, then I will start veeeery slowly to add some nutrients.
Thank you for your help have a lovely day. 🎄🙏🏼
Ive done "guerilla farming" often in my life, but my first ever indoor system, from Spider Farmer, will be here on Wed. and I’ve chosen yours’ and another channel to be my guides on this long awaited and finally realized trip (‘journey’ is so overused). I picked 5 Critical Purple and 5 Afghan auto flowering seeds from
Grower’s Choice Seeds to be my first crop. I have 2- 4x4x60 Spider Farmer tents with everything that comes with the kits. Each has SF2000 light setup. Of course using Samsung LEDs. My son has his own videography company and will edit my vlogs on this project. I feel like I’m doing a lot of things right, but can’t wait to learn more. Also, me being OG
af, I will share the spoils of any successes I have with this harvest by chipping y’all off a piece of the proceeds to your Patreon.
Vivosun God no Kevlar bullet proof. Stitched in Taiwan.
Who tops autos lol
Put outside in 🌅
Super
What kind of kush is it????? or wha kind is it????
NOO reason to ever be nervous about doing things to your plants! Plants are very resilient and will grow back. It is called WEED for a reason. And if ya happen to do something SOOOO BAD that you kill the thing, I bet you won’t do it again 😂 and that’s because you will have learned. However, I’m telling you it is quite hard to straight up just KILL a plant. Atleast in my experience I have found that to be the case. Just go for it! That’s how you LEARN and actually get BETTER……
Nobody should listen to these guys, he has no idea what he’s talking about
Bad video. Wastes 3 mins. To see actual topping skip to 3:30 mins in
Great video well done I’ve topped auto’s in the past but must say always had better results not topping but training them instead bending the top over until it all catches up way less stress to the plant especially with autos the key is don’t stress to much let them be always had better yields 👍👍👍
Hey man pretty cool
