Planning an outdoor auto grow for next year, what strain's should I go for?

[HippySmoke]

I have been doing some research but I must admit, auto-flower's are still greek to me. But for the sake of experimentation and lack of options I will be attempting an auto grow next year, in the great outdoors. I have read a few recommend a strain thread's but most I have found were 2010 era and I understand that there have been quite a few advancements in auto's over the last couple of years, especially stability wise.

But to the point, I need to find strains that finish as QUICK as possible and are resilient enough to handle it outside. Potency in this case takes a back seat to the speed factor. Although I must admit in what I have observed from other patient's I prefer the dwarf's over the ryder's but like I said speed is the big factor and will consider all suggestions. And secondly if I can find an autoflower that has the perfect indica sativa blend for nerve pain please someone let me know.

Thank you all so much for the help!

one of the fastest on the market that i have grown is greenhouse seeds... green o'matic ...greenhouse seeds say it will give you a return in 55 days from seed, its taste is reasonable (none of my friends complained), i got 100% germination rate from mine, and each one grew to between 16-19 inches and yeilded between 1-1.5 oz dry weight. the strain is very stable (you get almost identical plants)
i must say i grew indoors with CFL lights ... so 55 days might be a little off the mark for outside, but that depends on your local climate i guess... it will do fine with night time temps of no less then 55f.. and day time highs of arround 80-85f .. really hardy little plants

1-1.5 oz per plant?

also do you run 24-0 lights? or 18-6?

23/1 on my lights .... but 18/6 is just the same ... i needed to keep my cabinet warm so i went 23/1

One other question, gathering as much info as I can. How big were your GoM's when done? And how did it look? I read a strain review that depicted greenomatic as a rather paltry looking cannabis. But the cannabis could have been grown by an amateur hence the brown color.

Has anyone grown delicious seeds: auto northern lights blue https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/delicious-seeds-northern-light-blue-auto/prod_3445.html before? (Copied from the attitude seed bank, when I was last here posting links from attitude was perfectly fine so please admin's don't smite me if the rules have changed.)

Oh my pretty little girl! Well done dude.

If I may humbly ask what's up with the brown bud on the top left? (sorry if it's purple color blind) Did it get burnt from the cfl or a hint to much N in your organic soil blend?

sour spyder is from mdanzig and pandora is from paradise,paradise autos seem to have a great reputation

I 2nd Pandora. I've grown it 2 years in a row and with much success. Don't believe any of the breeder hype of "60 days from seed to harvest." I've never seen an auto finish in under 10 weeks from seed.

Nice hearing good things about the pandora from paradise seeds. Does anyone have a log of growing it perhaps?

 

[chongsbuddy]

they have an auto diesel and an auto jack herer/white widow as well..im gonna get 3 of each for next summer

 

[HippySmoke]

haven't had jack in forever is it femmed?

 

[chongsbuddy]

yuppers,femmed,done in 80 days from sprout

 

[HippySmoke]

Yes! Thanks for the info ChongsBuddy

oh wow... the genetics makes my head spin seeing so many options still can't decide... narrowed it down to 30 varieties need to "weed out" 20 of them... need to make a list then see which 10 are the most stable.

Seeing good reviews of Paradise Seeds, and Nirvana autoflower's have reviews of great potency but stability issues and not always being a true autoflower... And a few other breeders I am looking at, although I am not seeing many good reviews for the Greenhouse Seed Co and they had a few set of genetics I was considering for quick harvest...

it was purple... one out of 5 plants took on a purple hue...... i thought it was down to temps, as i hardly used any nutes at all, and i only use lightly ferted soil
