Ladies and Gentlemen , stoners and Growers

0:08

, welcome to a midnight rendezvous

0:11

like no other . I'm your host

0:13

, socrates Gros , broadcasting

0:15

live from a server in the heart of

0:17

America . Join me

0:19

on this extraordinary journey through

0:21

the lush foliage of my autoflower

0:24

garden to learn how to grow your own

0:26

fire at home . This is

0:28

Autoflower Power , the podcast

0:30

that takes you deep into the hidden

0:33

realms of the horticultural marvels

0:35

that we call autofowers . On

0:40

this episode , we'll be discussing indoor

0:42

autoflower gardening in the winter

0:44

. This episode is for anyone who faces

0:46

long , hard winters and wants to continue

0:48

their gardening with minimal downtime

0:51

and maximum success . We'll be

0:53

discussing managing heat , humidity

0:56

, your lights and temperature

0:58

fluctuations . There will also be discussion

1:00

on what autofowers are bred

1:02

to be grown in the winter and , finally , why

1:04

even photo period growers should

1:06

consider growing an autoflower or two

1:09

in their garden this winter . So

1:11

sit back and enjoy this episode

1:14

of Autoflower Power

1:16

. So

1:23

let's begin this episode by discussing the

1:26

difference between autofowers and

1:28

sativa and indica cannabis

1:30

plants . I think this is pretty important to the conversation

1:33

, because this is going to give you a better , maybe

1:35

deeper , insight into why

1:37

autofowers can be such a powerful tool

1:40

during the winter months in your garden

1:42

. So let's start with sativas . Sativas

1:45

are typically grown and , in their natural

1:47

environment , are found around Africa

1:49

, southeast Asia , central and South

1:52

America . These

1:54

are near the equator and they're going to have

1:56

much longer days , some of the longest

1:58

days on the planet Earth . You're going to

2:00

get a lot of sun exposure directly and

2:03

you're going to get tall and kind of long

2:06

period plants . So that means

2:08

that your growing season is going to be a lot longer

2:10

, your flowering is going to be significantly

2:13

longer and overall , you're just

2:15

going to need more light to produce sativa

2:17

plants . Next up is

2:19

indicas . Indicas come from the Central

2:21

Asian area . Particularly

2:25

, you might think of the Kush Mountains in Afghanistan

2:27

. These mountainous areas are

2:29

much rougher than these equatorial

2:31

areas that the sativas grow in . There's

2:34

shorter growing seasons , there's cooler

2:36

nights with bigger temperature fluctuations

2:39

and all these kind of lead to smaller

2:41

and quicker plants than sativas

2:43

. These plants typically are

2:45

a bit more hardy and weather resistant

2:47

than the sativas , but this isn't

2:49

something that necessarily we're going to want to

2:52

focus on for the winter . That's

2:54

where we get into the ruteralis cannabis

2:57

plant and some of the benefits of the ruteralis

2:59

genes . Ruteralis

3:02

cannabis initially comes from

3:04

Russia , eastern Europe and North

3:07

Asia . These

3:09

are some of the roughest environments where

3:11

these plants the cannabis plants , naturally

3:13

are found . They have the shortest

3:15

seasons and the largest amount of temperature

3:18

fluctuations compared

3:20

to both Central Asia

3:22

as well as South America , etc . When

3:26

you are looking at the ruteralis plant

3:28

, you're looking at a smaller plant , you're looking

3:30

at one that finishes a lot quicker than a photo

3:32

period . A lot of this goes back

3:34

to its place of origin

3:37

in these northern hemispheres that have

3:39

these harsh winters . The

3:41

shorter lifespan of autoflowers between

3:44

65 and , say , 95

3:46

plus days allows

3:48

you more runs in a year . It

3:50

also allows you to skip growing during the harshest

3:53

periods of the winter and then you can get right

3:55

back into it a lot quicker . With these

3:57

quicker plants , you'll have them out

3:59

a little bit earlier and you could put

4:01

them in a little bit later and still get

4:03

the same amount of runs . Again , these

4:05

are pretty hardy plants . These are not

4:08

going to have so much of an issue as maybe

4:10

a photo period would if you've got a little

4:12

bit more temperature fluctuation in

4:14

your growing environment . This

4:17

is something to really consider . Another

4:20

great benefit and I'll discuss this a little bit

4:22

later is that due

4:24

to its autoflowering

4:27

capacities , which , again , we've

4:29

discussed this before . But what autoflower really means

4:32

is that it doesn't need a switch

4:34

of the light cycle or an

4:36

approximation of the season change

4:38

. And this does go back

4:41

to this northern climate where we've got these short growing

4:43

seasons , so they're forced to flower . With

4:46

that , we can run our lights

4:48

24 hours a day inside that

4:50

tent . This is one of the things that creates

4:52

so much temperature fluctuation in

4:54

your growing environment is when the lights

4:56

go out . So if you just want to keep

4:59

your lights on for 24 hours during

5:01

some of the cold runs or your winter

5:04

runs , not only is it going to speed up

5:06

the time of your harvest , but it's also

5:08

going to keep your temperature in greater

5:11

consistency . There

5:13

will be less fluctuations and you're going to have less issues

5:15

. This is completely and totally impossible

5:17

if you're in a flowering tent with photo periods

5:19

and you've got the lights off half the day

5:22

. In theory , you'd probably want

5:24

them off during the day so that at

5:26

night , when it gets colder , you could use that

5:28

light benefit to warm

5:30

the tent . But that's really not a concern

5:33

and you're actually able to maintain your

5:35

environment quite a bit better by

5:37

keeping the lights on for 24 hours a day

5:39

. So let's continue with

5:41

some other environmental considerations

5:43

that you're going to want to take into account when growing

5:46

autoflowers in the winter . Some

5:48

of this will be reviewed from some of the previous podcasts

5:50

, but I think this is a great time to go back over

5:52

it because , as always , these are the

5:54

fundamentals and if you can get the fundamentals

5:57

down , you're going to have great autoflowers

5:59

at home . So let's

6:01

start where we begin . The first two

6:03

weeks are absolutely crucial to dialing

6:06

in your environment to maximize your growth

6:08

. It's really these first two

6:10

to four weeks , the first month , that you really want to focus

6:13

on being totally hands-on , not

6:15

allowing your plants to stunt early and

6:17

really give them the benefit of the doubt to

6:19

go into early flower

6:22

with a huge and nice

6:24

vegetative growth . And that's all going to happen . The

6:26

first few weeks In

6:28

the winter you're going to likely face colder , drier

6:31

and more fluctuating temperatures . That's just something

6:33

that you're going to come up against . If you're

6:35

somewhere north I'm

6:37

from the Midwest and this

6:41

is just something we see Temperature could be 60

6:43

degrees one day . The next day it's negative 20 . That's

6:45

hard to control for and

6:48

, no matter what you're doing , you're going to have to just take into

6:50

considerations that some of this environment

6:52

is totally beyond your control and some of it is

6:55

just not beneficial for growing

6:57

plants . So we're just going to do our best

6:59

. And how are we going to do our best ? We're going to use

7:01

VPD , as always . Vpd

7:03

, or vapor pressure deficit , is

7:07

an idea on the relative humidity

7:10

to the temperature in the air for maximum plant

7:12

growth . There's a chart at

7:14

our website that you could check out . So go

7:16

ahead and check that out and that'll show you exactly what you're trying

7:18

to dial in to get your ideal growing

7:21

range . At any point in

7:23

your grow , you're gonna wanna manage

7:25

your temperatures with a thermostat and a

7:27

heater . A heater is almost

7:30

always required if you are

7:32

in somewhere that is either

7:34

not completely temperature controlled

7:36

or something like a basement , where it is temperature

7:39

controlled but you still get some fluctuations

7:41

. So you're definitely gonna wanna look into a

7:43

thermostat and a heater of some

7:45

type . Number one

7:47

and I say this with major

7:49

blinkers going on , be

7:52

safe with the heater . Don't

7:54

put it anywhere that water could pool

7:56

or be leaked onto . Consistently

7:59

check your cables anytime you're like moving

8:02

them around . Make sure there's no frayed edges or

8:04

anything . Leave space around

8:06

your heater . That's the number one . You don't want your heater

8:08

right up against a fabric pot or

8:11

the grow tent or anything

8:13

else . You want your area to be completely

8:15

clear and free . I am stressing

8:17

this so much because the worst thing we could do

8:19

is have some type of electrical fire or

8:22

some type of unneeded tragedy

8:24

or setback to

8:26

our grows , and this is an easy one

8:28

to overlook . This is maybe one of

8:30

the biggest I

8:33

don't know almost danger points in growing

8:35

. So just keep an eye on your heater , heaters

8:37

and water and electricity in general don't

8:40

mix . So I'll get

8:42

off my soap box now . You

8:45

could either use a larger

8:47

heater in the long room itself so that's outside

8:49

of the tent , you're gonna be heating the whole room or

8:52

I've had quite good luck with a desk

8:54

heater inside the tent . These are small

8:56

, I don't know , maybe like five inch by three

8:59

inch heaters that you typically

9:01

put on your desk , but they are enough

9:03

to heat up a three

9:05

by three or a four by four , and

9:07

if you've got that thing on a humidostat it's gonna

9:10

do its thing perfectly . So

9:12

if you wanna maintain proper VPD based

9:14

on the heater or

9:16

a humidifier , whichever one is your weakest link

9:19

, and you're most likely gonna want a humidifier

9:21

with a humidist stat when you

9:23

are growing in the winter . The

9:26

drier environments of winter don't

9:28

allow the VPD to get where they need Typically

9:31

, especially in the vegetative stage

9:33

and the seedling stage , you're gonna want a real high

9:35

relative humidity and

9:37

without additional moisture

9:40

added through a humidifier you're not gonna be able to

9:42

reach those levels and get absolute proper

9:44

VPD . So just consider

9:46

that that you're probably gonna want both a heater and

9:49

a humidifier

9:52

at some point during the winter

9:54

. Again , don't forget water

9:56

and electricity don't meet too

9:58

well , so just please be careful

10:00

. I really want all my listeners

10:02

to do well and to be safe . One

10:05

of the biggest pains when

10:07

it comes to using a humidifier obviously

10:09

is you need to bring in distilled or

10:11

RO water . You

10:14

don't want chlorinated

10:17

water . That's going to leave

10:20

traces on your leaves and

10:23

slow down photosynthesis . So you're

10:25

gonna want really clean distilled or RO

10:27

water . If , for some reason

10:29

, somewhere else in your house , for some other project or something

10:31

, you're using a dehumidifier , you

10:34

can actually use the water that's collected

10:36

in the dehumidifier for the humidifier

10:38

, as long as the filter is clean enough . It's

10:40

something that I've done once or twice

10:43

in a pinch and it works and you don't

10:45

get any spots or issues with

10:47

your humidifier . Next

10:51

, if you're growing in a tent , you're gonna want to position

10:53

your tent away from any walls or windows

10:55

. This is gonna prevent extra

10:58

swings in temperature that you're not

11:00

gonna need . If at all possible , try

11:02

to put your grow in some type of an insulated room

11:04

to help maintain the temperatures . That's gonna do quite

11:07

a bit to help with these temperature swings

11:09

and also the temperature just getting down

11:11

as far as it can . When

11:14

you are looking at the water usage on your

11:16

plants in winter , it's gonna be going a lot slower

11:18

too , typically , than it will be in summer . The

11:21

plants will be perspiring less

11:24

into the air because of the colder conditions

11:27

that we have . So just be wary

11:29

of overwatering . In the winter

11:32

it's super easy to do much more

11:34

so than in the summer , where your plant is really

11:36

chugging that water . So

11:38

if you're top watering , keep an eye on

11:41

your watering

11:43

, because that's gonna become a problem if you overwater

11:45

too much in cold conditions

11:47

. And one

11:50

more thing on environment before we move on , keep

11:53

in consideration that ventilation

11:55

, air flow are still keys when

11:58

you're growing in the winter . You

12:00

can get powdery mildew or other fungus problems

12:02

if you're not ventilating properly , both with oscillating

12:05

fans and inline fans , keeping

12:07

the air flowing from outside in the

12:09

lung room into your tent and back out . So

12:11

keep the air moving . Even in winter , even

12:14

if the temperature seemed low , you're still wanting

12:16

that air to move around . Dead air is not good for

12:18

your plants and your plants won't

12:20

be happy . Let's

12:22

touch briefly on temperature fluctuations

12:25

, because this is more pronounced in winter than

12:27

it is in the summer . Typically , when we're

12:29

growing , we're shooting for something between 70

12:31

degrees and 80 degrees Fahrenheit , or

12:34

21 to 26 Celsius , even

12:37

at night . We don't want the temperatures to swing more

12:39

than , say , 10 degrees . So if you're keeping things

12:41

at about 80 degrees Fahrenheit , we don't want it

12:43

to go below 70 or 69

12:45

. That's really gonna be too

12:47

much for swing for your plants and your plants want

12:49

some stability generally . So

12:52

keep that in mind , that if possible , you're

12:54

gonna want to keep the temperature fluctuations within

12:57

10 degrees . Your root

12:59

zone for your plants are gonna want to be somewhere between 58

13:02

and 60 degrees ideally , before they start

13:04

slowing down and stunting your plants

13:06

growth . So if you can't keep your soil temperature

13:08

above 60 degrees

13:10

, we should probably be looking

13:13

at ways to heat up that tent a little bit

13:15

more , because 60 degrees or below

13:17

is really gonna slow down the progress

13:19

of your plants growth and that's something that's really

13:23

gonna , in the end , limit the amount

13:25

that you're gonna be able to get off these plants because , again , they're on

13:27

their own time cycle , so we don't have extra time

13:29

to veg them for longer and

13:32

keep them growing for as long as we want to get

13:34

them bigger and bigger . They're just gonna go when they

13:36

go and they're gonna flower when they're ready to flower . So

13:38

maintaining heat is key , since

13:41

autoflowers do respond to any light

13:43

schedule . As I mentioned before , 24-hour

13:45

light cycles are awesome in the winter . They

13:47

help you maintain your temperature , they

13:50

help you maintain your lights . They help you get your

13:52

plants going quicker . One

13:54

thing that you should keep in mind if you're typically

13:57

using an 18-hour light cycle on your

13:59

photos , or a 20-hour light cycle on

14:01

your photos , once you move up to 24

14:03

, you're gonna wanna reduce the amount of light

14:05

that you're giving those plants at any one time

14:07

. Consider the idea

14:10

of the daily light intake . Basically

14:12

, what this says is that your plants

14:14

want a certain amount of light every single

14:17

day . So it's either the

14:19

amount of light or the

14:21

amount of time that the plants are receiving

14:23

the light . That are the two factors

14:25

that go into this . So if we're cranking from 18

14:28

hours to 24 hours , we're

14:30

probably gonna need a less intense light than

14:32

we would for , say , an 18-hour

14:35

grow . How do we do this

14:37

? We can use a light

14:39

meter or some type of light meter app

14:41

. I've put a link to the Photone app

14:43

on the website with the

14:45

notes . That's a great , fairly

14:47

inexpensive option . It's not absolutely

14:49

perfect or totally scientific , but

14:52

it does give you a pretty good idea on where

14:54

you might be and kind of how to monitor

14:56

your lights over the course of your grow

14:59

. So really keep in mind that if

15:01

you're using 24-hour light cycles , keep

15:04

the DLI in check , because

15:06

you don't wanna be giving your plants too

15:08

much light or too little light . You wanna

15:11

get in that goalie lock zone , just like everything

15:13

else we talk about . Real

15:15

quick , I just wanna talk about choosing

15:17

, maybe , the right strains for autoflowers

15:19

. What's , I think , so cool

15:21

about this is that because you do have those root

15:24

or alice genes , those hardy

15:26

, winter-resistant genes , in all

15:28

autoflowering cannabis plants , for

15:30

the most part you're gonna be pretty well

15:32

off with any autoflower plant

15:34

, especially compared to a sativa

15:37

or something like that . You're gonna have much more hardy

15:39

plants , much more likely to finish

15:41

properly without any issues , than if

15:43

you were growing photo periods in the coldest

15:46

parts of the winter . So any

15:48

autoflower really , I think , is gonna

15:50

be a good bet for you . If

15:52

you wanna go a little bit further into that and you wanna

15:54

look at the lineages of these plants , you might wanna

15:56

look for something that has more of a northern

15:59

origin , maybe something a bit more indica-leaning

16:01

, because , as we talked about before , the sativa

16:04

plants are used to the equatorial light

16:06

, which is much more intense , much longer

16:08

, and the seasons are much longer . These

16:11

aren't necessarily gonna enjoy the cold

16:13

fluctuations as much as the root or alice

16:15

, especially ones that lean indica . So

16:18

keep an eye out for some indica-leaning

16:20

root or alice plants and I think

16:22

you're gonna have an awesome time . One

16:25

other thing that I'll say about this is just keep

16:27

trying stuff . I've tried a few things during

16:29

winter runs that didn't work out as good as I

16:31

had hoped . Typically

16:34

, one of the differentiating factors

16:36

is kind of the more indica-chonky

16:39

. Thick stuff does tend to do a little

16:41

bit better for me from my experience

16:43

. They tend to be maybe a little bit smaller

16:46

than the summer plants , but we do

16:48

tend to get nice

16:50

quality and a nice production out

16:52

of winter plants , especially when we're growing more

16:54

indica-leaning hybrid auto

16:58

flowers . So

17:00

let's wrap up this conversation of

17:02

auto flowers in the winter with

17:04

some last minute considerations

17:07

, some tips , some concerns and a

17:09

couple of things to review . First

17:11

off , let's just talk about that 24 hour

17:13

light cycle . Again , don't burn

17:15

your plants and make

17:17

sure that you're checking the daily light intake

17:20

for each part of the growth Super

17:22

important . Next

17:24

, again , going back to the heater

17:26

. The heater's no joke . Be super

17:29

safe . You've got a lot of water and electricity

17:31

running in your garden . It's

17:33

really your responsibility to keep the cords up

17:35

and away from any problems and water

17:38

away from where it's not supposed to be . You

17:40

are in control of your garden and

17:43

you wanna keep everything as

17:45

safe and you wanna be as responsible as you can

17:47

possibly be . So double check everything

17:49

and make sure that everything is

17:52

in proper accordance and safe

17:54

. You don't want any problems when

17:57

you've got your 24-hour light tent

17:59

going . That's actually a pretty

18:02

good place to germinate seeds in

18:04

If you can maintain a temperature

18:06

inside the tent . You can use the

18:08

paper towel method inside of a DVD

18:10

case , inside of a towel and

18:13

keep them inside that 24-hour lit tent

18:15

and that's usually enough to get those things germinated

18:17

. Adjust the heat inside that tent

18:19

will be enough . You don't need to usually

18:22

use heating mats . If , for some reason

18:24

, you are doing germination outside

18:27

of a tent in some cold

18:29

room , you might have more issues in

18:31

the winter . But typically if you're germinating

18:33

seeds in the DVD method

18:36

you can do it in a 24-hour on

18:38

tent and you're gonna get

18:41

pretty good luck in general . Next

18:44

, consider , if possible , putting your

18:46

tent near a furnace , if that's at all

18:48

an option for you . You

18:50

don't want too many swings when the furnace goes on , so

18:52

you wanna keep an eye on that . But I

18:55

know a couple people who grow in basements

18:57

and they keep their tents fairly close to their

18:59

furnace so that any sort of

19:02

ambient heat coming off that furnace goes

19:05

into managing the tent's temperature instead of just

19:08

warming up an empty basement . So

19:10

consider if you can possibly put a tent

19:13

near a furnace . That might be a way

19:15

to get around some of the temperature fluctuations

19:18

Going along

19:20

, kind of with that . As far as basements

19:23

and other kind of colder

19:25

rooms , if you're putting a tent

19:28

down onto , say , concrete

19:30

or tile or something like that

19:32

, it might be beneficial to put a

19:34

layer down between the tent and the floor , especially

19:36

in basements where you're directly

19:39

underneath the house and it's gonna be the

19:41

coldest place is that concrete floor

19:43

. So you could use a couple different

19:45

things . You could either use some type of

19:48

rug which can help

19:50

kind of dissipate some of the cold and

19:52

not transfer it up into the tent itself

19:54

, or you could use something like some gym

19:56

mats . Gym mats work great . They're

19:58

pretty strong . Another

20:01

thing that if you really wanna get something super

20:04

industrial and super strong , you can

20:06

get stall mats for horses . These

20:08

are usually like an inch to

20:10

an inch and a half thick . They're super

20:13

hard rubber and you won't

20:15

have any issues . Basically , you're gonna put down a secondary

20:17

floor that's just gonna insulate your tent from

20:20

that bottom layer concrete that's

20:22

gonna try to cool down your tent too much If

20:26

at all possible . In your grow room , if you

20:28

have windows , you're gonna try to insulate

20:30

them . Take a look at like

20:33

Home Depot or Lowe's or something like that , and

20:35

they've got these plastic

20:37

window insulation kits . Those are great

20:39

. Windows are one of the biggest

20:42

sources of drafts

20:44

in your house and if

20:47

you don't want drafts in your grow

20:49

room , consider insulating

20:51

the windows . That's gonna be a big

20:53

benefit to you as far as

20:55

letting extra air in , especially if you've got an older

20:58

house or something like that those windows . You

21:00

have no idea how much that's cooling

21:02

down your environment , but that's one of the biggest

21:04

factors if you're trying

21:06

to grow in a room with any amount of windows

21:08

really . So consider insulating

21:10

your windows . Next

21:13

, I want to say you should

21:15

really keep your grow room clean . This

21:18

is extra important in the

21:20

winter . While you might not

21:22

get some of the bugs that

21:25

you'll normally find , you might

21:27

have some new issues

21:29

, specifically rodents

21:31

. Here in

21:33

the Midwest I know rodents get into houses

21:35

and they are very attracted

21:38

to plants and even

21:40

more so they're attracted

21:42

to plant material that's left

21:44

on the ground or any sort of dirt and debris

21:47

. So if you find yourself

21:49

with a lot of garbage from your grow

21:51

room on the ground , make sure you clean it up

21:53

. You don't want any rodent infestation

21:55

in your house and even if you do have the

21:58

once in a while rodent , you don't want

22:00

to encourage it and grow that

22:02

issue . What's one

22:04

easy way to get rid of rodents ? Well

22:07

, you could get cats . Yeah , I'm dead

22:09

serious about this . Typically , that

22:12

is the easiest way to get rid of mice

22:15

or rats in your house if you do find them to

22:17

be a problem Hopefully you don't , but do

22:19

consider it . Your

22:21

plants are already fairly cold and the root zone

22:23

is already colder than it would be in the summertime

22:26

. So you're going to want to make sure that

22:28

whenever you're watering your plants you're not giving

22:30

it cold water . This can shock

22:32

the plant . It could stunt the plant . So

22:34

if you have any option at all , let

22:37

your water warm up , especially if it's coming

22:39

from somewhere outside or somewhere not

22:41

directly in your garden . You want to

22:44

reach a temperature approximately

22:46

of your garden before you water into

22:48

your plants . These

22:50

last two are just kind of bonuses

22:53

. Number one don't

22:55

stunt your plant . Don't stunt your plant . Don't

22:57

stunt your plant . That's

22:59

, I guess , three , but I'll call that one . So don't

23:02

stunt your plants . Last

23:05

but not least , I'll say one of the

23:07

benefits to actually growing

23:09

in the winter is that you get a much , much

23:11

easier drying situation than you would

23:14

in the summer . So a lot of

23:16

the stuff that makes the growing difficult

23:18

is inverse during the dry and it makes

23:20

it quite a bit easier to dry during

23:23

the winter months . A

23:25

couple of the reasons that it's easier to dry during the winter

23:27

months obviously is that you have much better

23:30

control over high humidity and

23:32

high heat . So that means that any

23:34

heat that you're getting in there that would traditionally

23:36

dry out the cannabis is being

23:38

completely controlled by you and a heater

23:40

and a thermostat . The humidity

23:43

, which can either be too high in the

23:45

summer and not allow you to dry out quick enough

23:47

, is now going to be much , much lower

23:49

, which means that you could dry much quicker or

23:51

you can control it with a humidifier

23:53

and a humidostat and

23:55

really dial in that environment . So

23:57

remember , we're going for 60%

24:00

and 60F when it comes

24:02

to drying and that is so much easier to

24:04

control when your base level is lower

24:07

and you could kind of crank it in different directions

24:09

as opposed to trying to cool down the

24:11

room and dehumidify your

24:13

dry room . Humidifying

24:16

and heating is quite a bit easier

24:18

in my experience , and I've

24:20

had some really good results with

24:22

both the dry and the cure in winter

24:24

. So there is some major upside

24:27

to growing in the winter months , or at least harvesting

24:29

towards the winter months and

24:31

drying during them . Thanks
