Harvest weed six times a year
Andreas Leschke"How to become a Thanksgiving King thanks to 'Autoflower Power'"
Anyone who has been growing cannabis since partial legalization through the Cannabis Act will quickly come to the conclusion that the permitted yield of 50 g per person seems quite low when the next cannabis harvest often takes three or even four months.
Especially when you compare cannabis patients being allowed to possess 100g of medical weed per month, or members of cannabis social clubs being allowed to purchase 50g of grindgrass per month, it even seems "unfair" to have to manage such low yields as a hard-working home grower.
Although I'm a big fan of photoperiod cannabis strains because they give me more creative freedom to express my playful creativity with LST and HST methods, I'm equally impressed by the magical power of many autoflower strains, which could be described as "turbo-flowers."
What many experienced growers are often no longer aware of, because they have sworn off autoflowers for years due to the complexity of training photoperiod plants, is the fact that with automatics, THANKS to the Ruderalis content, you have varieties available that have a maximum life cycle of 7-9 weeks!
A photoperiod genetic, no matter which variety is chosen, will ALWAYS require at least 4 weeks of growth (only possible without HST, otherwise the growth phase is extended) before it can be sent into flowering, and then (if you have chosen Fastflower) it will be ready for harvest after 7 weeks at the earliest.
This means that with photoperiod genetics, when grown indoors, you can only get a maximum of 4 harvests per year!
It is precisely in THIS point that the automatic strain has a clear advantage over its photoperiod sister, because with carefully selected autoflower genetics, you can even harvest 6 times per year, allowing you to celebrate Thanksgiving on the couch every two months - and in a completely legal way!
What we need to harvest at least 50g of the finest weed flowers every two months is definitely an indoor grow setup.
Please check out my blog post "The Right Equipment for Your Grow" if you need more information about what kind of indoor grow tent you need without having to pay exorbitant prices for complete sets!
In addition to tomato soil, pots, etc., we also need the right automatic genetics that allow us to harvest them every two months.
You'll understand that I won't list ALL automatic strains available worldwide that have this "turbo-grow" potential, but will only list the autoflower strains that CBD-HEXE offers in its range:
- White Widow
- Lemon Haze
- Girl Scout Cookies
- AK-47
- Super Lemon Haze
- Afghan Kush
- Orange Bud
- White Russian
- Easy Ryder
- Somango
- NYC Diesel
- Gelato (Cali)
- Strawberry Guava (Cali)
- Banana Punch (Cali)
These genetics all have a cycle of 7 to a maximum of 9 weeks, which they need from seed to harvest, so they will certainly produce 50g (and up) every 2 months.
The genetics chosen remain relatively the same, although there are genetics that only require 7 to 8 weeks, making it possible to harvest as many as 7 times a year.
Implementation is also incredibly simple. Since you've selected Automatics, the light duration remains constant at 16 to 18 hours of light per day.
Optionally:
If you want to save some energy, you can also set the light to less than 12 hours as soon as the first flowering hairs appear. While this will result in a slightly lower yield, many strains thrive more easily with less light. However, everyone should decide for themselves.
Once the plants are in their final week of flowering, so the trichomes are milky white, start germinating three new seeds. This way, the new seeds will be germinated by harvest day, so they can be planted immediately and moved into the grow tent, while you can harvest their predecessors.
This way, you can easily and with very little effort reap at least six harvests per year. If you choose the genetics I've listed that only take seven to eight weeks from seed to harvest, you can even manage seven ganja harvest celebrations per year.
