Yes you can let It finish up fully then turn to oil or hash. That way you end up with something. The downside to that is the longer you keep this nightmare going the longer it will be before you can fully clean your room from the pm and start anything else. Knowing your situation I believe you need a full good crop to fit your needs so the longer you delay the longer til you meet your goals.

I hear that, but for my next grow im going with autos so ill need to wait for them for a week or so and i wa t to wait till the first full moon of 2017.That way ill have a crop every 2 to 3 months and with any luck and a little home work ill get so good semi high yielding autos and istead of 8 ill do 10 15 or 20. just kidding ill probably do 4 since i have so many 1000watt hps i could put one light instead of 3 or 4 going from what i understand some autos will grow in complete darkness. though i will go with the 18/6 from start to end. Have you heard of thc bomb autos, or the chemdog autos? Both claim 65 days start to finish and both bost 350- 400g per m2 and 60 to 80 centimeters.?

autoflowering can easily be replicated by growing photoperiod plants at 12/12 from seed. With autos they show sex in 3 weeks and finish 8-10 weeks after that, the highest yielders take 10-11 weeks to fully finish after preflower.

a photo plant at 12/12 from seed will show sex at 3 weeks or so and finish 8-10 weeks later.

the difference is with autos you use 50% more power just to grow a similar amount or less than you can with 12/12 photos. Just my opinion from having grown both in the past.

your first run was not a failure, just a learning experience, suck it up and drive on.

Right on

Since you brought it up I read about that 12 12 from start and I didn't know that you could do that and finish up quite a bit earlier what's the best way to do it though do I need to do it using a scrog or can I do it in 1 gallon pots 2 gallon pots 3 gallon pots you know what do I need to use to get them to produce the same as autos claim.

You know what I'll figure it out thanks for all your advice now and again I'm really sorry for when I was an asshole I really didn't mean anything by it

these are 12/12 plants, I've been doing it out of necessity for years, it never seemed to catch on but they will grow just fine with no veg. I like to use a veg spectrum light until they get preflowers to keep stretch down, then switch to bloom spectrum.

use whatever growing method you want, I use dwc from start to finish.
