6 autos and clones at the same time is pretty impressive. do you run photos to flower between autos? i'm always curious about the kind of strategies people use with space and budget limitations. i definitely want to run photos eventually and doing both with the same light is interesting.
It’s pretty simple actually. If you have two tents (1 veg and 1 flower), throw a couple autos in the veg tent and let them go. Autos are way easier to grow great smoke vs the work required to find the pheno you want from a pack of 15 regular seeds.
ok this makes sense. thanks!
ok this is great. you're really using the space you have. if i get another space or tent going for veg or clones i don't need too much to get going. thanks for posting your setup, it gives me some ideas already.
I agree with @s4cruiser on running a couple autos in your Veg space. I have done this and it gives you some smoke fast and wastes no space. I plan on doing that exact setup on my next run. I'll go ahead and start some photos in solo cups a couple weeks before the autos are done and get a jump on things. If I don't have the new light yet, I'll switch lighting at the flip. The great thing about growing cannabis is that there's no 1 way to do it. Have fun! It's a great hobby.
I had 1 freebie of Northern Cheese Haze x Livers BX1 that had a fairly skunky smell in the jar. TBH, I haven't had any auto strains that really had that down in the grunge funk like the old Skunk and Christmas Tree photos from years ago. Hell, I haven't had very many funky ass photos either in years. Mephisto has several strains with good 'Kush' flavor and I got a Fairy Cake last run that smelled like a Pine tree. But, the rest smelled like freaking candy like most newer strains I've grown. I wonder if breeders are purposefully toning down the funk on weed because of people wanting stealth grows. So many autos have weak smell. Dude if you find a good auto Skunk, let us know.
Not Mephisto but Sweet cream by expert seeds was the skunkiest auto I’ve grown. Smelt like a dead skunk mixed with hot ass!
If you need potency buy a press and make 97%
If Mephisto has some gear that you like or interested in, you may also look into Night Owl genetics. Very similar, the two are quality breeders.
Re photos, I’m running some now too (first time actually…started with autos). I’ve got 3 ladies close to finish and 6 females getting flipped tonight. Making clones is so much fun and with photos there is time to fix mistakes BUT it takes way longer start to finish as opposed to autos. Learning is fun!
I can't wait to run some of Daz's gear. I've seen him on blogs like Dude Grows and he seems like a smart guy. He's taken some of Mitch and Tim's projects to another level. If he would do the freebie 5 pks like Mephisto then I'd already have ordered. But, I am a cheap ass and a freebie freak so......
I've grown a lot of autos from ILGM. Potency and yield has always been great. My only complaint has been pheno variations and that's only in differences in height. I just converted from DWC to RDWC and now can't raise or lower my buckets to compensate. I'm going to be trying some CDLC next grow and am hoping for more uniformity.
