Dunno cant see how it makes sense to grow a auto strain when it needs 3-5weeks of veg lol
most breeders descriptions ive read say : plant grows three or four sets of leafes and then starts to flower.
I have to call bullshit.
Everything I read here on riu tells me it also takes 4 weeks veg at least before autos start to flower for most members..... so it was not just me having bad luck or something....
I grew 3 different auto strains in this season just for experimenting purpose.
60 day wonder , lowrider 1, brutalis automatic.
not one started flowering after plant grew three or four leaflets.
lowrider took for ever ended up 2feet (not realy low eh?) the brutalis was qualitywise the best but I had 1 female 1 hermie 1 male ended 2.5 feet with much space between nodes. The 60 day wonder took like 90 days and was the first finishing but a dwarf like 0.5ft. Not one yielded more than 10g if dry bud (popcorn) and
that was outdoor started end of may beg. June so not a bad time for autos outdoor. They grew in bigass containers like 10 gal.
I crossed the lowrider x brutalis and popped some indoors a few days ago. If those disapoint the same way I am done with autos.
I see no reason to grow em again except filling empty vegspaces.
I can run most photos 12-12 from seed and end up with a one foot plant with a fat mainbud.
I have only seen popcorn in the autos I grew.
No offense to all you autolovers but sorry I cant see why to go auto yet.
every big bud or incredible bulk even most freebie photos will outperform any auto I grew at straight 12-12 from seed or one week of veg in yield, time to finish, and energy consumption.
I have 22 years of growing under my belt.... always did photos....that was the first time I did autos as for experimenting as I stated above ....but I guess thats all for me in regards to autoflowering strains in my garden.
