Lol that happened to me with the first bigbud and also northern lights I grew a decade ago. But were photos. Yielded a assload of buds.
Yeah I have never grown think different. I think people like that strain because it has a high yield for an autoflower. I really recommended dutch passion off of what i have seen not personal experience. I see the yeild they get but then again i can not tell you how potent they are.

That's more work then just putting a seed in the dirt! And even with clones you have to have a 12/12 schedule some people don't like following light schedules or worrying about light leaks or keeping a mother around.
I can make a lot of clones in 15mins. Once they root just toss them in flower. Granted I only know the basics of autos since they do not appeal to me. What's usually the standard time from drop in the dirt to finish? Would you rather search how a dank heavy yielding strain and have clones of it to work with for years so you know what you're getting?
It depends on the strain anywhere from 60-80 days. I understand what your saying but for people who don't need heavy yeilds autos are good. If you sell or are commercial than photos are the way to go. If your just for personal use though theirs no use for pulling pounds off of photos. Some people pull a pound off of autos in 70 days though. If you grow 10 autos and get 2 ounces off each one then you have 20 ounces in less than 2 months that's not bad either.
I hear you. I feel like autos definitely appeal to 1st time growers. I feel once you get the hang of growing(not saying you) you should definitely try photo's. Cloning and all that good stuff can be somewhat intimidating to new growers. Once you get and realize how easy it is I can guarantee a lot of auto growers would switch over to photo growing and not look back. Taking clones-let them root- put into 12/12, takes about as long as the time you posted for autos finishing. I just love pheno hunting.
Yeah I have a bunch of photos just sitting around I'll probably pop them some time this winter if I have space. I have only grown photos one or twice and that was about 8 years ago those were my first plants. I'll probably grow my purple venom first it's a cross of venom og and epic purple. The venom og sounds killer.
wow man you been growing autos for 7 years.. Definitely pop those and take cuts. Winter is a great time to grow indoors. Summer's tough with heat. Can't wait for the fall here in Massachusetts.
No I stopped for like 3-4 years then started back up on and off after that so it hasn't been steady but the past year and a half I've just been running through them lol I'll try everytime I've tried to clone it didn't work but I'm sure I'll get it down this time around. Winters the best time less bugs less heat issues. Summers been rough this year.
that's my only problem with photos not even the time they take just the height. I've never had my autos get taller then 3 feet. Almost all of them have been 26 inches or shorter. But I'm gonna give it a go this winter and see how I like them.
Whose blaming seeds? And some strains do just out right suckI have done many photos and if I was happy there I wouldn't be trying the autos. Maybe your luck is like mine, buzzard luck and ya gunna have to fuck a few of em up before ya get your wings. I believe there is something here or this many good growers would just grow photo indoors or outdoors... Sometimes have have to learn from ya mistakes. It ain't always the seed fault...
