How to "Train" Auto-Flowering Plants for Bigger Yields by Nebula Haze

Click here to view the full article on GrowWeedEasy.com Complete Guide: Plant Training to Increase Auto-Flowering Strain
Yields For those who don’t know: An auto-flowering marijuana plant automatically starts making buds about 3-5 weeks from seed germination (timing depends on the strain). Most autoflowering plants are ready to harvest just 2-3
months from germination, much faster than traditional “photoperiod” cannabis strains. Today’s cannabis training tutorial will teach you how to grow autoflowering plants like this.

Unlike photoperiod strains, auto-flowering strains also don’t need special light schedules to make buds. Growers simply give the plants light, water, and nutrients, then wait until the buds are ready to harvest. Note: You probably won’t
find auto-flowering seeds in your buds so you’ll need to buy them from a reputable breeder (check out the list of recommended auto-flowering
breeders below). Learn how to force your autoflowering plants to grow a sea of buds! Avoid stunted plants! Learn how to never grow autoflowering plants that stay tiny with small yields like this. Avoid crazy plants! Learn how to never grow out-of-control auto-flowering plants like these ones. Today, you’ll learn how to grow perfectly sized autoflowering plants with big fat buds. That way you get huge yields every time! A quick-yet-bountiful harvest is one of the biggest benefits of growing auto-flowering marijuana plants. However, the shortened vegetative stage brings up an important question. Generally, when growing photoperiod cannabis strains, indoor growers use plant training methods for the first 4-6 weeks of a plant’s life to make plants grow flat and maximize yields in the flowering stage. “Plant Training” to Increase Yields (a time-tested technique) Can auto-flowering plants be “trained” in their short vegetative stage? And if they can be trained, does it actually provide any benefits? The short answer is “yes” to both questions (with one
caveat). What is training? Growers “train” cannabis plants to grow flat and wide like a table. This wide, flat shape naturally increases yields vs letting plants grow naturally. A 300W LED grow light produced over 11 ounces with this method! Here's the full LED setup. Big or Small, This Method Works! This tutorial works for even small autoflowering plants to increase yields! Example: This gorgeous Forbidden Runtz auto-flowering plant was trained from a young age and produced several ounces under a tiny 100W LED grow light (a $90 Spider Farmer SF-1000 LED). Here’s the full setup I used. Healthy Auto-Flowering Plants Usually Respond Well to Plant Training Auto-flowering strains can be trained to produce more and bigger colas, and proper plant training can increase yields and overall improve your grow results.

(plus several suggested
autoflowering strains) Auto-flowering strains from a decade ago were heavily hybridized with wild hemp and produced small and subpar-quality flowers. However, modern auto-flowering strains from trustworthy breeders (like this Auto Lemon OG
plant) produce buds that are just as potent and beautiful as traditional photoperiod strains. Recommended Auto-Flowering Strains and BreedersWhich breeders can you trust for good auto-flowering marijuana seeds? These auto breeders have dedicated themselves to developing great auto-flowering strains, and have gained popularity for their consistency and quality. There are many other breeders that offer auto-flowering seeds, but the breeders listed have become famous for breeding some of the best auto seeds when it comes to ease of growth,
potency and yields. Hit the reply button and let us know if you believe there’s an auto-flowering cannabis breeder we should add to this list! 10 Great Autoflowering Breeders Many breeders produce great auto-flowering strains (Barney’s Farm, etc.), but the following breeders stand out for consistency and potency. Click the name of the breeder to see a list of their currently available strains. - Bomb Seeds – sparkly and potent buds. Bomb Seeds breeds both autoflowering and
photoperiod cannabis seeds, and all perform well. I’ve grown their THC Bomb Auto multiple times and I was impressed with the yields, bud potency, and just overall nice look of the buds. Their other auto-flowering “bomb” strains are great too, including Berry Bomb Auto (berry flavor), Cherry Bomb Auto (cherry flavor), and Big Bomb Auto (super high yielding).
- Dutch Passion – Excellent yields (some of the best yields for auto-flowering strains that I’ve grown). Smooth, classic effects on their buds. Their Cinderella Jack Auto is extra potent with dense buds.
- FastBuds Seeds – Fast and potent. Fastbuds have gone “all in” for auto-flowering strains. In fact,
every auto strain I’ve grown from Fastbuds has produced above-average quality buds in smell, appearance, and potency. Highly recommended.
- G13 Labs – Consistent good results. Plants closely match the strain descriptions, so you get what you expect. I especially love their Pineapple Express Auto.
- Mephisto Genetics – One of the first truly great
auto-flowering breeders, Mephisto has been at the top of the autoflowering game for over a decade now. They keep upping the ante and are an industry leader in autoflowering genetics for a reason! My favorite strains from them are Double Grape Auto and Creme de la Chem Auto.
- Nirvana – All their strains are easy to grow. Their Blue Dream Auto makes beautiful medium-THC buds with a medium amount of CBD, while their Raspberry Cough Auto is popular because it has a relatively low, fruity smell.
- Royal Queen Seeds – Buds always come out beautiful (they look just like the pictures) and smell great.
- Seed Supreme – Offer a ton of
different auto-flowering strains, with genetics suitable for any taste.
- Seedsman – The Seedsman website offers seeds from many different breeders, but they also sell in-house “Seedsman” brand auto-flowering seeds, which grow fast with high-quality buds, and have above-average
germination rates.
- Sweet Seeds – Spanish genetics with beautiful and colorful strains like Cream Caramel Auto.
Here are some pictures of autoflowering cannabis plants I’ve grown from these breeders. Cinderella Jack Auto by Dutch Passion makes extra-potent, rock-hard buds with above-average yields. This little plant produced several ounces by itself. I’ve grown multiple THC Bomb Auto plants (by Bomb
Seeds) and they always respond well to training and produce great bud quality. Buds come out super sparkly on those THC Bomb autos!
