a lot of people grow them, but for me is totally pointless. the quality is lower, yield is lower and the bill is higher. the only reason to grow them indoors is if the room temperature is too low to keep it high. change my mind!

always have an auto in an 11lt pot just to be able to smoke some weed while waiting for photos to be finished

Qualità inferiore?Ma apri la classifica delle banche semi qua su growdiares.Nelle prime 100 posizioni se ne salvano 7-8 tutto il resto è erbaccia commerciale.Vuoi fare delle auto che quando le raccogli sono femmine a tutti gli effetti?Roc bud Inc o Mephisto Genetics.Fast Buds e le versioni XL di Sweet Seeds si difendono bene ma non trovi quella qualità.Detto questo viva le femmine ma se vuoi in 60-65gg giorni raccogliere 600gr sotto 600w a 20 luce 4 buio le auto sono quello che fa per te .

I won't change your mind, I too think autos are pointless! From my experiences with them, they have nothing to offer over what can already be achieved with superior, genetically stable, generally more potent and higher yielding photoperiod plants. Forget autos outdoors, unless you like waiting 3 months for dwarf plants and a few grams of flowers! Forget autos indoors unless you love paying high electricity bills and leaving a huge "carbon footprint" too! The only reason to grow them indoors is if you are incapable of altering timers. On top of this, the fanciful time frames until maturity given by the breeders is total BS in about 99% of all cases. Getting back to the electricity usage and using a fairly typical 12 week cycle..... Autos = 12 weeks at 18/6 which = 1512 hours of lights on time. Photos = 4 weeks at 18/6 and 8 weeks at 12/12 which = 504 + 672 for a total of 1176 hours of lights on time, saving a huge 336 hours of lights on time! I know which electricity bill I would prefer! Personally, I hope to see autos as a passing fad and for everyone to grow real plants again, the mighty photoperiod! Everyone is able to choose what they like, but for me, it is autos never again. Cheers, Organoman.

I don’t like autos either.. but there are scenarios that make them a good option for some ppl. You can’t really do a perpetual harvest with plant limits like a lot of states have (4-6 plants) and limited space. So ppl who have limited resources can perpetual harvests with autos in one tent. Also, autos are great if you can’t afford a tent.. you can just stick it in a room with a light over it and it will flower without worries of light leaks. There are advantages but I don’t like them. Doesn’t mean I can’t highlight their pros

Look at my diaries or my you tube channel, harvest and weigh outs. 9.6 ounces dry 1 auto, over 8 ounces dry 1 auto on 100 watt light, I average a qp off a auto. Potency is not as high as photos but if given enough potassium and phosphorus in flowering they come out pretty strong still. I would say it is something your doing or how your growing them.

There is no changing your mind and this question is pointless to ask if people are trying to help and get an award. But my guess is your just not doing something right. I've seen bigger autos than photos and vs versa
