Never grown a lot autos but never had a good one. The only way to get reasonable yield is have lights on 20-4 which ramps up the levy. Also, going from Hps to CFL is a backward step.

My first grow and current was Autos.

Can confirm even though I am a heavy Noob I just don't think that many have the reliability they promise. Tried several strains and breeders.

Two grows and both times there was always one that did not flower by herself which means lights have to be adjusted down to 12/12 anyway which is pointless in having autos or you chuck the runt out.

I think Autos could have their place as outdoor grows in guerilla situations on a short summer other than that I now can't see why they are desired indoors. As what I have been learning along this new past time, is its all about control indoors, you choose and control everything so when the Autos refuse to flower when promised it just fucks it all up. No Autos for me no more.

Unfortunately alot of people just arn't in the situation to start an indoor grow, consider ourselves lucky! I do tend to grow autos outside during the year, along with my usual fems. just to keep the grinder full throughout the year. Auto's is a good way to start growing but mature growers will definitely put the auto seeds away and grow regular seeds on a proper veg/flower cycle. All 5 of my seeds popped this morning ( withing 48 horus) so all potted up now and under envirolite's. it's the start of a beautiful thing!.

I think you can learn more from normal 12/12 plants, you can try growing techniques and see what there about, as an auto doesn't like any stress. I've learnt a heck more this time round... But that's me!

Well that would be awesome if he has any available. I plan to make an order on Friday (payday). If that's how it looked outside, id love to see how it turns on indoors. It really does look dreamy.

He's only got some hotdog crosses I have not given out any of the hotdog itself. But if you check out the Breeders Boutique thread in the Seedbank review section there are quite a few pics of the crosses. Oh. And @BobBitchen is the only other person who has a hotdog s1 bean. Not sure if he's ran it though....

I'm willing to give anything a try, I was on other forums for years and years and occasionally sent and revived clones though the post. I grew some fantastic strains from random amateur breeders. It's amazing who you meet and their potential. Like i said ill place my order on friday and that will be my first batch from BB. I've heard nothing but good things. The "germination station" will be set up and ready waiting for delivery.
