oldleafybeard1 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 yeah I can see there a lot of kinda fixed opinions on it but so you know why I need to grow autos, My building is prone to power cuts and the autos will cope 1-2 days with darkness with no real downside not sure the same is true for photos, also have needed to shut down entire grow for a couple of days for inspections or whatnots, never had a hermi so far and they just truck along despite the interruptions. As well like I say im on a very limited time when I can interact with the plants, If I was on photos id basically be forced to interrupt the light cycle cause my shifts are not consistant and thats not an issue with autos. They will transition to flower on their own I dont need to watch them closely to know when to swap the feed and swapping the feed is the only work I have to do so no messing with timers/timing I dont have to plan my life around my grow.

McHazy Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just to add I do agree that autos have a place just not in my grow 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I knew an easy/cheap way to test my plants id happily post results here but my autos have defo been strong so I dont feel like id need to prove anything to anyone, people just hate on autos as a default opinion it seems but its like each to their own I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) People hate on them because they're not easier to grow than a photo but they use more electric and you can't take clones if anything is worth keeping. I've smoked auto weed that seemed fine potency wise so it's not that aspect for me. They just don't make sense!!!!! Saying that, they've got some ruderlis genetics in so should do better in cold temps, they'd be great for me really edit-photos are fine with more darkness, it's more light causes the problem.

I do understand photos if you look at everything are probably better but I do think as well people write of autos too quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I also start plants before others have finished as I run perpetual, but I have to have 2 tents so I suppose that negates the less electric thing 3 minutes ago, oldleafybeard1 said: they are ready in 60-70 days See I didn't know that, I thought they took longer. I have grown some autos, it was ages ago and I can't recall how long they took. I never noted it down as I thought they were photos (I never even thought a mixed pack would contain autos and photos) lesson learned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I've heard a lot of good things about Night Owl, one of mephistos old breeders. Jeremy from Build A Soil has grown a few out and it's changed his perception of auto's completely. They're very expensive but apparently well worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
