Can you share some tips with autos

[windycitysmoker]

Just want to start by saying every input is valuable to me so thanks. I have bubblious on the way and bomb tch bomb , nirvanas/ bubblious and herbies bomb the bomb. This is going to be my first time growing autos.
right now I'm working on paradises spoetnik #1 a pure Indica thc around 18% I use a 5 gallon Dwc system ,should I use a smaller bucket? Should I top it once or twice? What is recommended with auto flowers

Topping only if they have several nodes at week three with no signs of showing sex. Can't help you with the hydro.

the Sputnik#1 turned out ok with my first grow ever. the wappa was way better I think.
later I have tried the auto wappa which was a lot better than the feminzed one I had before.
all of them were from paradise seeds.
the free seed never got to bloom so it was for nothing good, it was a pandora seed.
the auto wappa was as much harvest as the feminized one.
both were in soil with biobizz nutrients. I do like the short time

I don't have a lot of input on autos except that if its 100% Indica its not an autoflower. If its an auto flower then it can't be 100% indica. I'm not 100% positive on that i just wanted to kinda open the convo about that. See what others think.

auto growers dont usually top the plants maybe just lst in vegg time.
I never transplanted mine either. 5 gallon post are ok.
if it is your first grow, just let them grow as they come out and watch what they like or not.

good luck

And take lots of notes. What you did, what you thought about doing, temp, rh%, the whole nine. If you Did a good grow then totally can't keep a plant alive all of a sudden you can look at what you changed or did and figure it out. Worst case scenario you have ver batum info on what you did to ask for help because without details we can all only speculate.

hey buddy looks nice.. just wanted to clear up im pretty sure thc bomb auto is by bomb seeds not herbies.. but you can buy it off herbies or bonza.. i think i got some through bonza.. i wouldnt recomend tipping with autos.. main thing ive found is trying to get the seedling as big as possible before it enters its flowering stage.. ive done a few things to try help this.. i use a coco,perlite,tiny bit of vermiculite mix and hand water so is different for me but using a bigger pot so the seedling can really stretch out its roots but will be different for you as your going dwc.. i also tried to put the light higher to make it stretch that bit more.. other than that i always recomend for autos or normal photo period strains any type of silica product.. i use flairforms silikamagic and highly rate it.. i also like to dry my plants out quite a lot at week 2 and again at week 4 then flushing them through with a lot of water ph-ed to around 5.5 - 6. but yet again not sure how you would go about this in DWC or if it is wise. hope you could take something useful out of my post there and good luck sir.
