Thread seems to be all over the place - autos are what they are. I grow them / cross them for my own use and sometimes trade.
There are pros and cons in ANY grow whether photo or auto. Autos I can bump sizes by swapping soil / SOILESS grows to Hempy.
12/12 photo SOG grows too ...... it really isn’t a bad thing to grow them ....
Funny part is many seem to fall flat on them , even if they are good photo growers. Sure the Ruderalis gene can throw some wonky shit at times , but it also adds certain environmental / pest advantages, not just speed. Hell if someone
REALLY wanted to play with them , they could grab a ruderalis strain from Sensi and begin from there. I use strains that have been fairly consistent in grows before I ” mash “ strains together. Targeting similar terp profiles to complement. Some are bad mixes. Too many seeds on hand anyways but haven’t seen any strains out there that might be different than just a new name.
That HSO BD Auto was done to keep seed stock , not only for money saving but for working them. The Haze component I like , the blueberry can mash just about any mycrene / limonene heavy strain.
Too lazy to refresh pages on certain breeder seed drops , so I look at the cuts and try to mimic my own. Again only for my use.
Mac 1 will be solely run to replenish seed stock as I have a few on hand. Gene pool is diluted as fuck out there on strains so exploring is expected.
But to each their own ....
