thanks for the input racer! I am new to the auto's i've had great success with sensi star back in the day though! I am interested in the M Blue auto you speak of. I have heard that the more purple or blue you have in a strain the less potent it is. Is there any truth to that?
nah, i don't really think that holds true, although i have heard that a lot of purple strains aren't all that potent, i don't know why this is, nor do i have any first hand experience with it myself.. i am growing a few purple strains atm, and to say i'm curious about the results would be a huge understatement, lol.. i'm growing grand daddy purps from connoiseur and purple berry diesel from cannaventure this round..
another great choice imho would be what dr greenthumbs calls his auto iranian, even though it's not a true autoflower as it doesn't have any ruderalis genetics in it..
not sure if you're super familiar with auto's or not, but i'll give you a quick rundown on how they work.. they take a type of cannabis called ruderalis, it's a type of cannabis much like say indica or sativa are, and they cross the ruderalis with either an indica strain or a sativa, and you have an auto.. well, there's a bit more to it i'm sure you can imagine, just giving you the basics, lol..
the thing about ruderalis in itself is that it will flower despite the amount of hours of darkness it receives, and will simply flower when it reaches a certain age, ie, auto flower.. the down side to ruderalis, is that it's basically what is referred to as ditch weed in some parts, meaning it has a very, very low thc level, and once you make a cross with it, the low thc level is going to have an effect on the offspring obviously.. this means that autos tend to be a bit weaker than a plant that contains no ruderalis genetics in it whatsoever..
this brings me back to dr greenthumbs iranian auto.. like i said, it contains no ruderalis genetics, good thing imo, yet it will flower despite hours of darkness much like a normal autoflower strain.. again, not containing any ruderalis, the iranian auto is going to be much more potent that any auto that has ruderalis in it..
the good dr has also gone ahead and made a few other crosses with the iranian, which brings down the flowering times on whatever he crosses with them, without losing much in the potency dpt..
i know i went a lil off topic, lol, but i hope that helps you out some m8..
