Auto flowers aren't photo period dependent. They flower based on age not light cycle. Could have just been shit genetics.I tried some autos outside on my deck last summer, figured because of our long days of light up here in the north during summer (17 hrs during the solstice) they would turn out nice. didn't really work out that great, got less than an oz from each. gonna give it another try this summer again. it's just for fun anyways.
that's why I thought they would do well. there's no better light than the sun, and we get plenty of it during the summer. at least 12 hours a day from March until October.Auto flowers aren't photo period dependent. They flower based on age not light cycle. Could have just been shit genetics.
IIRC autos need at least 14 hours a day preferably more.that's why I thought they would do well. there's no better light than the sun, and we get plenty of it during the summer. at least 12 hours a day from March until October.
we can only grow from june to mid september, in those months we get well over 14 hours of daylight. almost 18 hrs of daylight in mid june. I guess it's either poor strains or I shit the bed growing them.IIRC autos need at least 14 hours a day preferably more.

All July and half of August we get near 18 hours of sunlight a day. That's why regular plants don't start flowering until near the end of Aug and never have time to finish before it gets too cold of a killer frost hits. Still 15 hours of light around mid-Aug.that's why I thought they would do well. there's no better light than the sun, and we get plenty of it during the summer. at least 12 hours a day from March until October.
I've seen some big yielding autos from Dinafem, not really my thing but theyd make a decent bumper crop to hold ya over if you had to wait for your regular grow to finish.Autos suck, although they have their niche. Grow photos for real pot.
