FORWARD
As a young teenager the possibility of producing quality flower in restricted spaces using Autoflowering varieties derived from C. Ruderalis cultivars intrigued me (to say the least). Maybe, it was due to the fact that tending to 6"+ plants in an prohibitionist state did not seem feasible in my (then) current situation; but still it was an itch I could not simply scratch away.
As time progressed and my research evolved, I quickly found that so much more (than a little cabinet with an ounce of dry flower) was possible through breeding with these varieties and made it the main focus of my growing efforts almost up until my early twenties.
This is despite me being privileged to what old school Florida cats were doing indoors with cut-only operations in the early 2000s. I appreciated the ability to store and use seed to later be grown inconspicuously.
With persistence came perseverance and I eventually started coming across varieties that were not only capable of standing next to the photos; but at times brought with them the ability to surpass what friends were doing.
Today, I firmly believe that autoflowering varieties are a viable alternative to both home-growers and commercial producers for operations aimed at more than industrial (seed/fiber) production.
For this reason, I dedicate this series to the Ruderalis Redemption and all those who made it possible.
