Well I said autos because of the quick turnaround so I can start smoking my own ASAP. I figured I would plant 2 and LST since you really cant mainline or anything with autos, from what I hear.
Then after that harvest, plant some FEMS and do some mainlining. Thats the plan anyway. Ive been looking at cookies but one question i have is, is a FEM seed grown plant "better" than an Auto? and if so, I was going to wait to try something like cookies through a FEM seed.
Im a self proclaimed connoisseur. But I want to have my first as a quick turnaround, like i said earlier.
IDK if this makes sense to anyone lmao. It does in my head.
Assuming you are growing indoors, Photo is just as fast as autos if you want it to be. You control the light cycle, so as soon as it's sexually mature, you can make it flower.. In general terms photos are usually better smoke than autos. But autos are getting better all the time. Also a lot of good semiautomatics on the market these days. That is a photo/auto cross that retains the auto genetics. Lots of outdoor guys with shitty fall weather are growing them now. With long hours of light, you can veg them past sexual maturity to get some size, but they will flower as soon as they are put outside.
I would go with the fems, but veg them an extra week or two. The extra smoke will be worth the wait.
As far as strain, I'm a big fan of Cindy's Blue Cheese. Never grown it myself, but a buddy gifted me some, and it was top shelf. I did grow out a few of the seeds. I called them Ass Cheese {Donkey Kong X CBC}. It's pretty good too, but growing in the woods, it's hard to match back yard grown.
