Comparing to what I have been growing untill now it was a bit harder because of the short life time of autos. Any problem must be identified and dealt with swiftly otherwise you are risking the quantity of the harvest. As I just discovered you should not put 2 plants in the same bag no matter how big because autoflower pseudo roots roam just under the surface and will get entangled with each other. Grow bag n1 with one plant gave allmost 400g of product while grow bag n2 with two plants harvested a little more than half of n1 at 235g both bags being 50 litres. My hesitation to take action compromised the harvest. I should have taken out the weaker plant of the two at once. The plants prove to be calmag suckers. Coco based soils do not hold much salts so you have to add more to your feed schedule than in other soils but for this grow i think I used 3 times more than with photos. The plants reacted very good to low stress training which was not expected and the short time in wich you can get a decent amount of bud is astonishing. A week prior I cut the taller colas becuse thay started to amber their trichomes and dried them in a food dehydrator tinkered with so that it would blow at 25C instead of the 35 it is supposed to. Smokin it gets you really high in a very energising way no couch lock or body stone Cerebral is the word some new age jobless hippies would use. Even my girl who is not a real smoker liked it. And the acts of intimacy were really and deeply intimate This weed makes you feel things. If you are looking for a more sedative effect this strain is not for you

I have only used this one so cant really compare. Using it for three years and quite happy with it. I will actually buy one more so that I can place more plants in the room.

I have to say that despite what is freely circulated, I dont think that autos are as newbie-friendly as advertised. You have to be able to identify any problems and act fairly fast. I also didnt like the loss of control of certain aspects of the grow compared to photos. The yield was also smallest compared to a same sized photo plant but it takes longer grow season. In the end I am quite happy with the result vs time and effort invested. Definitely reccomended strain better in the hands of someone with a bit of experience.

Looking great buddy! I'm a beginner myself, so take my words with care. But i chopped my autos like i chopped my photos and it was fine (as soon as all are cloudy and there is a sprinkle of amber). So i'd say do the same as you like your photos.

dont let them go to the amber side too much. i put mine to the dryer with 10% amber and when it was dry after 6 days the trichomes were half amber half cream and it had more of a stone than a high.
