You need to give them at least 18hrs light and a big pot to get their full potential. The 4 u got do u train them in anyway? I think you would get similar yields. Have u tried the auto flower sub forum? Nl x bb seems to be a popular one amongst the auto growers.

Noone will ever convince me to grow auto's indoors. They are a rip off in every single sense. You are being completely conned. Auto breeders are probably sat laughing their ass off at the people who buy them.

got a couple cuts.. took a good while to root, but shooting up now.
they're with a mate who is planning on veggin her out and keeping a mum if the smoke is strong.

the smell is very interesting, can't really describe it, but it smells like something that would taste delicious

also the nugs are dense as hell - she's only in a 3L airpot.. but i reckon should get at least an o

Beautiful mate :) Gotta keep me updated on how that cheesecake smokes :) Not long now by the look of it :) Might i suggest you try revegging a bit of it if it's a good un :)

Hehe, was a purely selfish notion, once i end up growing again i don't fancy doing a pheno hunt if i know someone has a corker. Certainly looks great, let's just hope it's the colour alone that is crossing over from the br :/

no worries, your first on the list once we get some more rooted,
will be awhile as will veg them out for awhile before taking any more, so you have plenty time.

the cheese is definitely dom as the filters are struggling a bit lol
dense nugs, loads of trichs, great smell.. 3/4 so far..
the rose tint is just the icing on the cake so to speak

that fucking plant food has fucked off, that guy came to fetch it. good riddance.

Don't know if it was speed or not in the blues, but thought I saw a bit of yellow in the mandelin test could be wrong.
and then i had the peeing issue.. in that i couldn't..

they were fucking great though, almost no grinding or clenching, no issues sleeping and appetite fine the next day
although i was fucking depressed, but that may have just been the fact that I had to go back to work ...

i'm quite excited for the DMT.. a little bit wary.. but can't wait

Let me put it this way.

Growing autoflowers costs more to grow in terms of electricity, you cannot easily seed them, you cannot clone them, they normally give smaller yields, more often than not give lower potency buds, and they grow only fractionally faster than a photoperiod plant in 12/12 froms seed and there are untold thousands o varieties availble in photoperiod, and a handful of worthwhile autos. The short story is they are ridiculously more expensive to grow than photoperiod and severly limit you in choice.

You have to buy a new seed for EVERY single plant. I can buy ONE seed and never have to buy another one again. When i was growing last, i was given exodus cheese clones for free, i grew it for 3 years and it did not cost me a penny in terms of genetics. And that was multiple plants, and MANY many harvests, for nothing. that would have cost me well over £100 if i had to buy a seed for every plant and if auto's, i would not have been yielding 8 ounces or such per plant, more like 2 if i was lucky.

I have never been given one single valid reason to grow an auto over a photoperiod plant.
