PsyCLown Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Welcome @Cracks! Are you talking about autoflowers or pure Ruderalis? I am going to assume autoflowers as you likely want some thc. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners as any mistakes made can set the plant back and affect your yield. However its not particularly difficult, so after you've done a grow or two you should be more than capable of growing some autos without hiccups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Autoflowers are fussy plants. If you dont know them. The plant will start flowering independent of light cycle. What you have to know is the plant will start flowering as soon as the tap root hits the bottom of the pot. Thus you need to plant them in the pot you want to flower in. I recommend a 20l pot for outdoors. Also they don't want to be fed heavilly. The need a very airy soil. Buy the right genetics. Mephisto, nightOwl and ethos has some amasing flowers. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyCLown Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 @Cracks Ruderalis does not have a very high THC content, I believe it is less than 3%. I believe the CBD levels may be higher but not sure how high in terms of percentage, it would vary between strains and plants as well. Depending on what you want to achieve, I'd say get some seeds for a strain which is suited to that purpose. Autoflowers are typically a cross between ruderalis (somewhere in the lineage) and other plants which may be high in CBD or high in THC. Typically one would want to keep the autoflowering characteristics of the ruderalis and then try get the other characteristics of the plant its being bred with. Are you wanting to get high THC or high CBD? Is there a reason you want to go for an autoflowering plant? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want, why not consider a plant specifically bred for high CBD levels? If you have any specific questions regarding Ruderalis or autoflowers, let us know and I am sure one of the members can assist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prom Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) I have Ruderalis Indica growing.. but you can't expect monsters from basic ruderalis, those are survival specialists not yielders. I run them for male pollen and a batch of fresh seeds. Very solid plants and for the week of grow time.. smaller side. I just use them as timers to turn photos into autos. not sure you want to extract them, can't be on the potent side, not "their" thing in free nature. At least to my understanding.. If you want a special effect, go for the special CBD plant.. Pain, check for a Harlequin, Insomnia, look for a Wild Fire 47 or epileptic episodes, Charlotte's Web... extract those or what ever plant you need. People invested time into those. The cool thing on the ruderalis is not the effect on the body. Why so famous, is the canceling of the photo effect on the plant, light duration has no effect on flowering time anymore. I feed them a LOT less ^^ main difference Edited December 5, 2020 by Prom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
