These would be great plants to grow out easy on the Your wallet great for if you’re Learning you don’t waste $$ on high dollar beans… Get some good smoke I’m sure some great smoke in you hunt through them
Which I find funny since they are so often recommended to new growers these days Yes you have more forgiving when it comes to lighting schedule, or if light pollution is a concern. They can be a faster from seed to harvest, but not always so depending on your growing style. From what I read from people going 12/12 from seed, some strains finish sooner than some autos that are out there now.
Or like determinate be indeterminate tomatoes. You can prune and clone indeterminate ones, grow it as big as you want, in the structure you want. Determinate tomatoes, you set it and just take care of it, get one harvest and it’s done.
I personally have grown lots of different autos with good success, but have never tried an auto from Mark yet… with that said I’ve tried autos from Seedsman, Mephisto, Stitch, Dinafem… and some others I believe.
I was suckered into the whole “Autos are for beginners” line like Seamonkey84 mentioned. My thoughts are this. For someone who doesn’t want to worry about timers/light schedules/dark periods they are a decent options… But as Seamonkey also said they are less forgiving in the fact that if you mess up they don’t have the necessary time to recover like you would with a Photoperiod plant where you can delay the progression of the plant. Yields can be pretty good with autos honestly but they aren’t very big… usually.
Anyway these days I like to use autos as filler plants in my harvest windows. So I’ll run photos, but also have autos growing in the veg tent with them. Basically with limited space you can add a little extra yield here and there throughout the grow year. Plants I flip are moved into 12/12 tent while I continue veg work in my veg tent and flower autos amongst them.
Honestly, autos as house plants make sense lol
Note, I’ve never grown an auto. The only one ever mentioned back in the day was lowyrder. Came back to growing after 12ish years and it’s auto everything…
Also…why the eff isn’t Mark on here? He doesn’t need any notoriety or anything…but to be a part of something bigger. I feel the OG community is just starting to blossom…canadian legalization and possible countrywide legalization in the USA. The seed game is his. He could put a lot of greedy fucks outta biz.
That’s a good question lol… I mean I guess he could be on here lurking somewhere… funny enough I actually mentioned to him that there’s a lot of good things to be said about him on OG maybe he’ll hop on here one day.
The greed is out of hand though… 300 dollar 12 packs… come on
Many people have extended invitations to Mark to join up here, but he says he has no real time for forums, but he appreciates this forum and what we do here, and he even donated quite a few seeds recently to a server auction here on overgrow.
