Yeah I am trying the HBS based on Smo's recommendation. He said I need to do a run with a large strain auto to see what I can do so we will see. Smo has never steered me wrong so I snatched like 40 seeds of the HBS.
For me the Raptors are doing fine so far with the two 600's. We will see how this run flowers out, veg and flower are 2 different test for any light. But so far I have no complaints. I picked up the Raptors at the recommendation of brother
@OneHitDone
I will let you know how the HBS does for me and report back to you if it's all Smo says it is might be the ticket you were looking for. I can tell you some of the best buds I have grown so far were auto's. My GG#4 girls have bushed up nicely but they will get a good strip down soon. I am getting anxious to flip the lights, my Big Doggie Dreams girl is turning into a monster. And I'm dying to flower her out, smells so freaking dank man just like the Satori male but with a hint of the Chemdogging. I might start germing some of my second cross Nightmare Kush soon, that was the Satori Male x Narcotic Kush Auto. Trying to create some stuff that will work for me with my meds and well I have just gotten hooked on breeding man it's a lot of fun and your imagination is your only limit honestly. But I have a lot of beans to go through still my own, some that have been gifted to me by fellow growers, and a ton in my stash from when I went crazy last year buying stuff. Really wish I had more space but hey I'm good where I'm at. Can't complain man, family supports what I am doing and I'm helping myself and a few others out, feels good.
Maybe when then COB tent is done I should toss a few cuts of my fems and the Satori male in and let them do their thing, then I can be done with that and will have plenty of beans to go through for a while. I have somehow despite how discrete I have been, started a name for myself locally and have a couple guys that want to give me stuff to breed with as well. Suppose to get a "purple male" tomorrow from one buddy, we will see what the strain is when I get it. He's growing out one of my doggie dreams crosses too and says it's a monster and the only plant in his 4x4 he's going to SCROG it. Will be interesting to see his results. He's under an HPS too. Then the Disabled Vet I'm helping out to get going is insisting I take a few cuts from him off of his wonder woman. Just a lot happening at once. But it keeps me busy and happy. Running low on supply right now because of the SBA's I had to chop recently so I hope the Skywalkers will be good quality as well as the auto pounder. I think yield wise it's going to be low so hope the quality is good. Not too excited about the yields from what I see and I don't know if it's just genetics or me running a new line of nutes for them in coco, we will see. I also let them dry out too much a couple of times that surely didn't help any.
Anyways brother hope I answered your questions and thanks for the kind words. Like I said before if there's anything you want to discuss just send me a pm or post here. Always glad to have you around.
