biggest outdoor autoflower grow!!! auto-BiggySmalls - Auto Flowering - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

BiggySmallsbud · 06-03-2009, 05:28 AM

Due to the short growing season we have here in the heart of British Columbia we have had little success in previous seasons with strains not finishing. On top of that we have to deal with the same dificulties many of you experience like deer, bears, mice, cattle, theives and of course the police. We wanted a strain that not only finished in the harsh northern conditions but was done before the choppers are out looking. with success growing early wonder skunk from solar warrior in the past with amazing results we decided to cross it with the Auto-ak47 from lowlife. we found a male EWS the showed its sex within 3 weeks and was producing pollen just after 4 that we used to pollinate the Auto-Ak47 females and used two Auto ak-47 males to pollinate all our EWS females. We fully seeded out all 9 females we got from the two packs of seeds and got just over 3000 beans.

In april we planted some seeds early in a makeshift cold frame to see how they would germinate early in the season ( to note there was snow on the ground in patches around us at time of planting).

At the begining of may we began planting all our beans and its now the start of june and were still planting but almost done

awesome thread BSB!!!. i too live in a climate very similar to yours, and was planning on a seed run of LL's auto-ak using CS for female seeds. theres not alot of info on starting them in the ground outside. yours look stocky

how was your success % rate for in the ground?

how many plants per square foot approx? i was thinking of doing 1 psf with something like a auto-ak that grows a big bigger or maybe 4 psf with something like an auto-kush which stays smaller or something that grows a bit taller with a main cola...auto diesel.

they look very uniform and healthy.

how big are those bags? growbags or garbage bags?

what kind of mix for the bags? did you need to add any lime to it? i used lime once years ago and it really screwed up the grow so ive steered clear of it. although i know i either added to much or didnt let it sit long enough.

and finally what are you using for ferts?

nice work

To Bob J, We actually just planted the first 300 directly into the ground this past sunday and are doing more tonight and throughout the week. so were expecting to see some popping by the end of the week. for starting seedlings outdoors we found that weve had about a 80-90% success rate if not better.we planted about 6-10 seeds in each square foot. we dont know how there going to do in these beds so were just trying a SOG.. the bin we put alot in is doing very well so we may do more of those : ) they are 5 gallon grow bags we also have 2 and 1 gallon buckets and some other randoms, we got 4-6 plants in all the back hoping to get at least two females.. some we transplanted 2 weeks ago and started indoors almost 6 weeks ago are over a foot and a half growing over an inch a day! get the deisel for sure ive heard good things.

So one spot we have we hiked in a full truck load of city compost in garbage bags and mixed it in the ground with peat moss miracle grow organic grow fert and blood meal and have been watering with a compost tea we make ourselfs, i can post some pics of that two. basically everything so far is completely organic were are starting a spot tonight with advanced nuts fall blend time release i believe.. so that will be interesting to see the difference in smoke between all organic to not organic. we brought out a ph tester and discovered our water is at 6.5-7 and soil is 7-7.5 so we did not add any lime its different for all grow areas but i suggest you do the same.. we took into consideration that the peat moss will bring down the ph as well. im goin to throw some more pics up and do some work.. stat tuned

BSB, about how big is the bed?
how deep is it?

about AN heavy harvest i have read that it is very good stuff but it should be applied properly. a guy on here has used it for years and said 1/3 cup per hole...but i think AN says 1 cup per hole...and how big are these holes...everybodys different...hmmm did you apply yours yet? i think for fall blend you just top dress. ive always heard good things about it.
