These were a gift tbh
I didn't realize they were autos til they stopped growing under glr and I went and double checked the package then said screw it and threw em outside.
I'll get a couple weak sauce doobies out of em and live n learn.

Not my cup of tea.
Autos needing 20hours goes against my whole way of growing

No doubt.

I get it. They don't need quite 20 hours. The right ones will get 4-5 foot outdoors.

They need 15+ indoors. I use to run my autos under 6/2 to keep temps down.

I grew Dutch Passions Master Kush feminized years ago, they grew huge outside but bananas through out all the bud on all my plants, I also grew Dutch Passion Mazar, outside again and had a few bananas, not as bad as the master kush but they were still there.

The auto seeds were all grown in a green house and none of them got very big at all, I don't remember all the strains but they were all from Green House Seeds, I think they were White Widow, Lemon Skunk (I think, not sure) and a couple others, none of it impressed me.

Both of these grows were outside and the a long time ago 15+ years ago for the feminized and 5+ years ago for the autos.

I don't doubt breeders have gotten better with these strains but I can't afford to experiment so I am sticking with the regulars for now.

Yea they are a lot better now. In my thread I grew some 3 foot autos.

As for fem seeds I don't know what caused the ones you grew to herm. It wasn't the fact they were fem.

All cannabis is capable of herming and its not really genetic. Its an enzyme and they are all capable of it.

This comes from years of growing bag and brick seeds. I have a couple land race sativa strains that throw nanners. I grow them every other year or so.

Dinafem, female seeds, bomb seeds and any of the top 10 or 20 fem breeders on the seed banks are stable.

Yep, it could have been something I did. They just left me scratching my head since it was the only time I ever got any hermies.

And the auto's I grew out like any other seed not realizing that they had different requirements.

Yea autos just aren't for me.
My buddy swears by then but then again he begs me for weed so that says enough about the potency for me.
He says they have come a long way but I can't get my stubborn head around the idea of growing something that's only half mj.

And idk about the fems sir
I'm after reading more n more hermie stories on almost every breeders thread lately.
I've never had a problem with them myself other then the fact that most of what I'm after is only available in regs.
As you said tho to each their own.
I can certainly understand why they have a place in some growers rooms.
With plant counts and much more valuable time on the line it's a bonus I'm sure.

Plant count is the main reason I went with fem seeds. 5 is a felony here. 4 is a misdemeanor. It was easier to run fems.

Lately I quit caring about the number and went perpetual. I've been running regs.

I've also made my own fem seeds with colloidal silver and the rodelazation method (over ripening).

I've even grown seeds from straight herm plants. I've seen a few threads doing the same. It surprises me. Its actually a low chance of the offspring herming. Of course slightly elevated over a stable strain.

Cannabis is a weird plant. They will throw nanners for various reasons just to save the species.

I figured sir
Do my best to remember we all kinda gotta go by different rules.
Fems make a lot of sense and for years they are all I'd buy but then I found them inconsistent. Once a breeder loses your trust u go to plan b.
Now that I've stockpiled enough regs I figure I can chuck n trade for the rest of my life now.
My seed buying days are done.

I agree. My seed buying days are about over. I've been crossing plants for a while now.
