" When it comes to growing indoors i've never been given a single valid reason for growing autoflowering pants."
I'm assuming that's a typo in the last word and not some new fashion trend.
1. If you have a veg room running forever like I do it is smart to fill empty spots with autos. The lights are going to be running anyway
and the price I pay for feminized auto beans is a fraction of the value of the "free" autos I harvest.
2. An all auto grow is perfect for beginners, eh? You don't have to know when to switch lights, switching nutes, or even how to sex. Most
auto grows of mine are finished in 60 days. Sure can't say that about most of those other 99% of varities.
3. Finding a quality auto like Afghan Kush Ryder from World of Seeds via Attitude and you get 20+% THC levels AND all the ease of auto growing.
4. Orders of autos tend to be more phenotypically similiar than non-autos. Means 10 AKR plants will grow in a smaller range than non-autos. That's
a good thing if you want to set up a sog or scrog grow. The less variability within a strain means it's easier to keep all of them about the same size.
5. Uh, I had a couple more but put some of my legacy AKR into a homemade mahogany pipe and forgot what I was going to say.
Autos are not the growers' salvation like some profess, but not having ruderalis in your repetoir seems short-sighted to me.
BigSteve.
1. if i have a veg room then i will fill it with vegging plants to make larger flowering plants. If i'm going to be filling it with auto;s that will be flowering out then i might as well just make the whole veg cupboard or room a flowering room.
2. if the idea of changing a timer and changing nutes is complicated for a new grower to get along well then they probably should not be growing in the first place. It is very very easy to follow the instructions written on the back of the bottle and turn the timer to 12/12 whenever you feel like. This though is working on the assumption that the grower is not lazy and useless and has actually read even the smallest bit about how to grow cannabis. I mean sexing cannabis requires looking at one google photo to understand that it is about as black and white as it comes. Hairs or balls, they are pretty distinct in their differences.
3. So you bought an auto that has 20%, now you have to go out and buy another, and another, and another, with photoperiod you can keep a clone on a windowsill or simply make a few hundred seeds, seems a complete waste of money, and as to the ease, see the above point, the notion of an auto being easier to grow is simply highlighting the sheer hopelessness of a grower. Cannabis is not difficult to grow in any small way, in fact i never in my wildest dreams would have thought it would be so piss easy, it grows itself.
4. this is a subject that can be debated either way. If you research your breeder then you can find photo plants that will have a steady and regular set of phenotypes, so for instance mr nice gear, and not TGA, and in the same way though, you get a range of phenotypes and it's often the range of phenotypes that allows you to find what might become a clone only based on it's characteristics which you can then clone out and every single one will then be uniform for sog or scrogging. Without the variation of phenotypes things like exodus cheese of las fingerez slh wouuld not potentially exist as there would not have been the variation to allow their existence.
Sorry but you're going to have to convince me a bit more for me to go out and start using plants that cost signficantly more money to grow and limit you as they do being an autoflowering plant.
. but any other case other than outdoor growing in cold climates i agree
