gonna give these contests a try, reached out to divine seeds and they promptly shipped out a 3-pack of their "White Widow Autoflower" as well as a 3-pack of their "OG Kush Feminized Photoperiod" for the non-auto contest. so i put these 3 in a damp paper towel for 36 hrs in dry, dark, moderate temperature area, today i had 12mm taproots sprouting from all 3 so they went into 4 gallon pots and i threw them in my tent to give them a boost to start out, my plan is to experience autoflowers as houseplants with only minimal maintenance, only the second run of autos ive tried and im saddled with the usual prejudices against these abominations, mainly i dont see the use in creating them...rather than beginner-friendly nonsense i find them a hindrance to learning about the plant and the hobby of indoor gardening itself as they take away the majority of control over the lifecycle and the product is sub-par generally when compared to even feminized photoperiods which i also find distasteful for the experienced cultivator. my suspicion is their ONLY use is an idiot-proof source of washable bio-mass which anyone who enjoys fine flower to smoke would turn their nose up at most auto flower flower. anyways ill keep one for flower and toss the other two in the freezer at harvest and press some rosin with them...after they get into the veg phase im pulling them out of the tent and placing them in natural light throughout the house...i figure so long as i dont have to sacrifices precious tent-space they wont cause too much trouble.
