What would you recommend for a beginner? Are autoflowering plants a good start, in your opinion?

I'm personally not a fan of auto flowering plants, but if you want a short cycle, then it's a good place to start. Just keep in mind they don't produce as much.

There are strains that pretty much grow themselves that are pretty easy to get started with if you don't want to do auto-flowering. I can give you a list of strains, if you want recommendations.

Absolutely, I'd love that. Thank you!

Northern lights, papaya, and most cheese strains. Blue dream, bubba kush, bubblegum, Gorilla glue, green crack. To name a few.

Most seed sites have grow notes so take a look at those when buying. What Makes a plant easy to grow, at least in my opinion, is how resistant to powdery mildew, mold, and weather change it is.

Do you always grow them outdoors or indoors as well?

I do one outdoor crop a year. Now that it's legal where I am, I don't need to do things indoor anymore.

Although I will say the biggest advantage to growing indoors having complete climate control.

Do the plants need direct sun, when outdoors? Or can they be in a shady area?

We're getting into the fall soon, it'll be too cold for them. But I'm thinking about next year.

I might just try one indoors over the fall/winter. I think it'd be a fun project.

~8 hours of sun or more is best. The more direct sunlight they get the better. When things were a little bit more illegal, I've done Gorilla gorws in the woods before, So you gotta work with what you get.

indoor auto flower is great practice

Perfect, I'll make sure to find a good spot in the sun next year.

I think we're allowed up to 3 plants here. We aren't allowed to grow outdoors, but the regulators can suck it. My property.

For the fall/winter, I'll try an autoflowering one indoors.

I have lots of wind at my place and can play hell on plants. Broke two branches on two plants already.

This year is four plants of three strains.

I learned a lot this year.

Ooof wind can play hell on big plants. Trellising is your friend.

I was thinking about making a little 8' x 8' medicine garden with lattice for wind block. Trellising could be an addition. 🤔

Oh also one thing ill say is dont fuck woth your plants to much. Clean your lower branches up every now and then. Pick off the dead leaves from time to time. But the more you just let the plant do its thing the better results youll get. I've seen people worry their plants to death and not get that great of harvest because of it.

What strain?

Thats one of the strains im testing for a breeder I know. Black Patronus is its name right now

I have a Ship Wrecked strain that smells massively like standing in the middle of a fruit market.

Awsome.

To make it even better they are thick with that yummy glitter.

Very stoked for the end of the month. I should have some plants finished by then.
