Auto Vs Normal Seeds

Are autos a bad choice? What is the difference in growing time? And is it true they produce less yeilds or just a myth by people that prefer 'traditional methods'

Thanks

Growing time is much faster, I'm doing two auto at the moment they are 7 weeks since they popped out of the ground and maybe like 2 more weeks and I should be done with one of them, the other one will take a bit longer but still faster then a photoperiod plant, as for the yeilds can't tell you that yet lol but by looking at them some ppl say I might get a bit over an OZ from one plant, but this is my first grow so I'll be happy with whatever I get.

I'm doing Diesel Ryder from Joint Dr. and the other one is G13 NL automatic. You can see my plants in my sig, just uploaded some pictures from today so you can see for your self. I just got to worn you that D.R stinks!! Stinks Baaaad!!! So if your growing it in a closet or something you will have to find a way to filter that air unless you don't mind stinking up your whole house/apartament ;)

This is Ruby, shes a Delicious La Diva auto...She requires almost no attention and very little light. She is very small and very stealthy. Ruby is 46 Days old and according to the Delicious seeds, should be ready about today. She has been a great training tool for me, cuz I killed a lot of seeds trying to get this far..(my fault)
But what Ruby is not is one of the stronger, larger strains that take a lot longer to harvest.
So if you have a lot of time and a nice grow area she may not be for you.:-P...View attachment 2179405View attachment 2179406IMG_2325.jpg

Hey whats up Del666, on the average how long does it take to get that kind of yield on 12/12..with non autos....I've had another person also say it worked about as good, but I've not been told how long from seed to harvest it takes. ( I might have to reconsider my growths after my next and last 6 seeds.:-P:-P

p.s. hows your volcano?.....would you recomend the classic or the Dig if you had it to do again??

Just to say ignore what the breeder is quoting as the flowering time, that plant looks like it has weeks left.

Now worries. As to volcano's, iirc del loves his and uses it all of the time, i've used mine about 10 times in a year. Kinda depends on why you smoke and what you enjoy. Being a lifetime joint smoker, with tobacco in the mix, despite getting just as high from the volcano, i just can't enjoy it as i have grown too accustoemd to roling up and then holding and smoking a nice big joint, even be it without tobacco. The volcano will certainly get you mashed, but i find a joint and a vape to be a little like apples and pears, alas vapes just don't fufil the enjoyment i look for when getting high, still get's me high, just prefere having a lighter and a joint in my hand.

I also once again get what your saying. Thats the thing I miss the most about not smoking for so many years (job drug testing policies) The smell and taste of the smoke was always an awsome experience.

Most of my current career Ive breathed a lot of bad shit. My childhood asthma has been creeping back a little, so Im strongly considering a Vap for health reason.:wall:
