Hello all. I'm looking for the fastest flowering strains. Please only give input if you have grown the strain before.
Thanks in advance

Any 6 week plant I've heard of is a rare pheno. You wont find any seedpack that's reliably going to have a 6 week plant in it.

And evening that came where someone I've known claims they know someone with one, I question what they call done.

I've never seen anything done in under 56 days

Why? There's no fucking way you'll get as much bud from a photo that quick, even from clone, unless it's a massive clone.

I disagree.

Cloning is central to having reliably good bud.

This really quite easy to quickly harvest large amounts, autos dont even have a chance

This is my motherboard. 10 strains, clones cuts for exact genetics. I know what you're saying.

Here's LSD-25 autos at day 43. 36" tall, 20-22" around. Loaded with budsites.

Fact is, you don't know everybody's situations. Some folks grow in cabinets or little boxes, they don't have space for clones. Some folks have timeframes and deadlines to meet and need a faster run than a photo. Some folks only need a few ounces. Not everybody is a professional, they just want some bud.

As far as potency/quality, I'm just starting to play with them but I have no gripes. They are what they are.

True there are situations where they are a fair choice, much like high school students may be a ok choice for a job.

BUT, I could never get what I get if I ran autos.

I keep 3 mothers in 3 gallon containers under a single 315 cmh. It feeds me as many clones as I could ever use, running a 4 stage perpetual room. Plants go in the day I harvest so zero downtime. Harvest every 2 weeks.

I highly doubt I could get the production I get even if I put autos in the whole possible area, PLUS if I did do autos I'd be spending around 200 every month or 2 on seeds that would give variable results.

I havent bought seeds in about 5 years.

Autos are a nitch area, I just dont see it for long term..

the big problem is that theres a massive differance between harvestable and finished.

The majority of the yield comes at the end. You can harvest whatever you want at 6 weeks, some people do and claim it's a 6 week strain.
Another grower with the same clone may take it 9 weeks and get 4-5x the yield.

Dont shoot yourself in the foot trying to do quicker cycles and loose in the end is my .02

That's why it's called a grow "style".

1 seed produces at least 1-2 (being very modest) ounces... at $200 an ounce, I don't think that's bad darts. If they bought 20 seeds with that $200, they just saved $2500+ as opposed to buying it.

It's still a win, no matter how you slice it. I see you're angry with the concept of autos... just don't grow them. No need to hate them.

Thanks everyone for your input. The reason I asked is because next spring I have permission to grow on my buddies farm only 20 min from my house. I have never grown outdoors and live in southern Ontario. Autoflower would be expensive as its 120 plant license. I new it was a lie seeing 5 and 6 week finishers.

Powdery mildew is my biggest concern
I'm definitely going to need to build hopp houses.
