Important Factors to Consider for Higher Yields

Due to the quick nature of autoflowering growth, it’s important to have a few factors ‘on lock’ before you begin. In addition to choosing one of our top 10 genetics for high yields, other conditions are important to maintain at optimal levels. Including – 

• Lighting – Even though you don’t have to upkeep a photoperiod light cycle, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care about lighting for autoflowers. Many growers use a ‘SOG’ sea-of-green technique to maximize light for higher yields.
• Nutrients – An imbalance in nutrients or pH levels can significantly impact your autoflowering plant. So be sure to keep a healthy balance of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) while feeding.
• Growing Method – Due to the quick turnaround of autoflowering strains, it’s important to think about your grow method before beginning. Especially for high yields. Keep in mind the highest quality mediums, produce the highest quality end-result. If you’re able to grow in a hydroponics system, this method of growing generally outputs higher yields versus soil methods for autoflowers specifically. 
• Avoid stress – Happy plants equal high yielding crops. So, properly monitor your plants to avoid putting them through any unnecessary stress.
