I am sorry but even if you do take a plant and flower it early, you still have to wait for the bud to fully develop its max potency and that can still take several weeks! A Autoflowering plant can take on avg 10 weeks from SEEDLING!
Right.... but im going to look at facts of what people are doing.
Fact- Al is putting 4 plants in a sqare foot.
Fact, Al is cloning off mother plants.
Fact, from the time these clones are clipped, to the time they are harvested.... 8 weeks.
Im having a hard time seeing the advantage to your 10 week statement above.
Not to be rude.... but the fact that they came from a seed doesnt impress me... the clock impresses me. I dont care if they came from outer space. What i care about is maximum yeild per square food in the least amount of time.
10 weeks is longer than 8 weeks.
If the auto flower plants dont yeild more... then where is the advantage... there is none.
Sure, if you have a tiny room, i see your point. But i think anyone could still set up a curtain, and put the clones and mums under fluro's, and then have the hps on 12/12 running the plants once they have rooted.
Check out al's thread if you are unfamiliar with what im talking about... the guy seems to know his stuff and has been growing for a very long time.
He is growing sweet tooth #4.
He is harvesting 24-30 plants every 2 weeks.
He is getting over a pound every harvest.
His total grow room size is 8x9. He has 4 stations... 4x4 flood trays with a one foot walkway in the middle. All his light on these tables is 12/12 hps. Hes running 2 1000's. Total grow time is 8 weeks.
Unless im mis understanding you... the points you keep offering are inferior to Al's setup described above.
