I realised Autos can't be harvested happily at the equator. Initially as I was concerned about the height and long time of photoperiod varieties is why I ordered myself a set of Autos. Because I'm also concerned about stealth and prefer short wide plants.
Only recently I found out 'Fast' varieties from Seedsman and ones from Dutch Passion like Think Fast are perfect for the Equator and tropics.
If you want to grow outdoors in regions where you have relatively shorter days, where autos are gonna end up flowering small like the ones I have, Fast versions are the way to go and you can get 7 weeks of guaranteed vegetative growth before it starts flowering which is actually for 8 weeks the same as before.
The shorter days are compensated by the longer time it takes for a Fast version to start flowering and we get that log increase or burst in growth through a few more weeks of vegetative growth which in the end yields better than Autos outdoors in these regions. I can even top it!
you are wrong buddy.. im in close to equater too with 12/12 light cycle,, check my amnesia auto plant in week 4 ,, not all strains this climate perfect for sativa domain plants ,, try again happy grow 🍀✌️🏻
