To auto flower or not to auto flower

As a noob to growing and living in an apartmennt Im Unsure as to the benifuts to autoflowering. What favors me to it is it's small size for the lowrider strains which space is a factor for me. I'm wondering if I could just get a normal strain and flower it after 30 days of veging it. Would I get the same results as anauto flowering strain? Is the only difference just not having to do a 12 hour photoperiod or will flowering a normal strain with only a month of veging hive very poor results? Thanks for reading.

Just get a auto.

No veg nutes just bloom nutes.

150hps could grow 3 autos

2 months from seed to bud

Grow 12-16" great for small ops.

18/6 light all the way.

Yeah, if space is a factor, just go with autoflower. You'll get smaller yields but you don't veg them hence the name, auto-flower. But as timeismoney1 said, you could grow alot more plants with smaller amounts of light. You could grow 10 at a time, and keep growing a new one every few days so you keep getting continuous bud non-stop that's what I'm going to do when I get my apt.

Get some AK47 or something along those lines. Very dank bud.

Where is aauto ak???!!

My autos are about 15in and seem like they get bigger everyday ( so they DO take up more room then u think). Lotsa branching and bud production(about 15 sites on one can't wait for that harvest). Got some auto aks from attitude highly reccomend man, GREAT genetics. Shows sex in two weeks and is smelling quite citrus at the moment. Got my journal somewhere around here.

Attitude was to expensive . Love nirvans prices. Anyhow what you use dam? Cfl. Hps. Led?

That is the very same reason why WalMart outsells most other stores.

Unfortunately, just like with WalMart when someone purchases from Nirvana they get what they paid for.

Well. If my other 4 seeds dont sprout i will go to attitude.

Got my 1st seed to sprout quick. So far im happy with nirvana

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I feel much more assured i'm making the right decision getting autos now.

@dam612 Ak47 was one of the strains I had my eye on. From all the good reviews Ive heard on attitude that was where I planned on getting the from.

@timeismoney I plan on making a dwc and I have a compact fluorescent fixture with 240 total watts, I also have a duel 48" regular fluorescent at 80 watts and a 75 watt hps. I had the fluorescents left from when I grew aquatic plants for my aquarium. I figure between all those I should have more enough lighting for how much I want to grow.

I plan on growing 2 at a time, if I can get at least an ounce every 2 months I should be ok since its strictly for personal use and I'm not heavy smoker.

What color temp are they? With autosyou will want 2700k

autos can get a lil tall and wide bro. Mine are halfway through grow and 19 inch tall and 22 inch wide and thats only lowryder #1 which is supposed to be tiny

I cant remember its been a while since Ive used the but to my best knowledge their probably 5500k and 9500k in my compact but I could be wrong, I remember that the aquatic plants I grew did best at 9500k bulbs, they're sort of pinkish on two of them and the others are white so I'm guessing those are 5500. I plan on buying all new ones anyway. I wasnt aware of the proper color temp for autos so keep that in mind when I do buy new ones. Thank you.

Vegged abit with mh now doing hps bc I had to flower the rest of my crops. Seemed to do really good in either situation. did soil so I could only imagine how a hydro grow would go. Giving them earth juice lineup and haven't seen any prblms or signes.
