I've grown a couple plants beforeYou'll thank me. Especially if you're a seasoned grower

My experience with Fastbuds has been they are ready to chop 1-2 weeks past their claimed dates, which usually means 9-11 weeks total. I haven't chopped one past week 11 (yet). But that's a small sample size with an inexperienced grower, and DWC (although I would think that's purely a a genetics issue so method wouldn't really matter).I'm not aware of any auto that goes from seed to full maturity in six to seven weeks you're more likely to run 12 weeks till completely finished
Fastbuds GG?Gorilla glue freak show. Two plants are exactly the same. And i mean same everything. One on the right is wild while the left is behaving properly
Yep. Here's RocBudinc Purple Roc day 60. Ive never seen such frost so early on an auto flower. Compare it to the Mephisto. Last picture is MephistoFastbuds GG?
Oh okay.I've grown a couple plants before
Very nice! How tall did that Purple Roc get after stretch?Yep. Here's RocBudinc Purple Roc day 60. Ive never seen such frost so early on an auto flower. Compare it to the Mephisto. Last picture is Mephisto
The first and the last pic look a lot closer to being done. That middle one looks like it has a fair bit of time to put in yet. Your first post you mentioned your auto's were inconsistent. To be fair that's more of a breeder issue than a auto issue. I think that plant from the middle pic might take a little longer to firm up and finish but I think you'll still be rewarded in the end. Don't count the auto's out yet !Here’s pics I just now took. What do you think?
Its about 24-26 inches. I topped it and tied it down.Very nice! How tall did that Purple Roc get after stretch?

Don't count the auto's out yet purple roc can run another 20-30 days. The last picture is Mephisto and its very immature. Hardly no odor, did a test smoke and my buddy said it wasnt anywhere close to being mature. I usually grow plants until the plant starts failing.
HSO is my go-to for Photos. Love them.So I totally agree on the buying good genetics part... but I think we disagree on who provides them lol. I don't know much about HSO but Barneys Farm definitely doesn't make the cut in my book.
Binary Selections is phenomenal stuff. Research themHSO is my go-to for Photos. Love them.
I've never touched them, I don't like growing from seed. Can someone please explain why autos seem to be so popular these days? I get that it will be faster than a normal photoperiod if you grow from seed, but flowering clones has got to be better surely?
I've got a couple on promo and I might just throw them in along side whatever I grow from seed next, which I seem to be putting off eternally!
If you put them on 12/12 as seedlings it will stunt them and could turn them herme. 16 hours of light minimum I think.I have just got into the idea of Autos. I bought a new flowering tent and made my old tent a vegging tent. My new tent is twice the size of the old tent and I only had enough plants ready to start flowering. So someone suggested I fill the unused space with Autos and start them in the flowering tent 4 weeks behind my Photos. Then in theory I should have a crop finishing every 4 weeks or so.
As I have always been a bit sceptical of Autos, they always sounded too good to be true, I decided to invest some cheap(ish) seeds. Sensi Seeds have a 35% sale on at the moment so I got a 5 pack of White Label White Skunk Autos. They went on a paper towel 2 days ago and have all popped this morning. I am going to pot them up tonight and stick them in the veg tent. Once they have their first true leaves they can go in the flowering tent with my Photos and I will see what happens.
it wont make them herm, auto's grow in any light cycle. But he's sure not doing them any favors starting them at 12/12. Guys used to do it with photoperiod , "sea of green". It doesn't really make any sense with auto's however. They are still going to flower when they want.If you put them on 12/12 as seedlings it will stunt them and could turn them herme
And if they are small, due to light deprivation, you'll get a 30cm "tall" plant... so the way to grow autos is actually to pump as much light into them as possible (20/4) - which is 8h more per day than a photoperiodic strain gets. So ~66% more electricity costs/ hardware degradation BUT NOWHERE one will get +66% more dry harvest mass. And this is because at some point, a plant has enough light input and simply doesn't use all the further incoming photons in such an efficient manner like in the first 6-10h in "the mourning".They are still going to flower when they want.
Incorrect and misleading. I've run 12/12 on all plants for 15 years...autos and photos... auto herms are caused from other stress factors NOT lighting schedules.If you put them on 12/12 as seedlings it will stunt them and could turn them herme. 16 hours of light minimum I think.

NO WHERE does it say autos REQUIRE anything more than 12/12, ONLY that they can handle and make use of it. Do some in depth homework.
Fair enough. No need for the capital letters.Incorrect and misleading. I've run 12/12 on all plants for 15 years...autos and photos... auto herms are caused from other stress factors NOT lighting schedules.
