What's the point in auto flowers?

Did the Trizzers come from our friend @Mr.Sparkle? I’ve grown a few of his creations, got some of his auto beans waiting their turn. Dark sparks and a few others. Great guy, sent them all the way to Scotland for me. GG4/wedding cake sounds nice too :+1:

Advert says 7 weeks :rofl: mine went more than double that :roll_eyes:
It looked and tasted like WW from back in the day but the high was mediocre.
Would I run it again. Yes. But only outdoors.

Cheers bro! the original widow wasn’t that strong either eh. Nice daytime smoke though. Hear you about autos timing. That green crack flowered for 10wks lol not exactly a fast bud but a very nice smoke

Yeah the fastbudz gear is excellent. Love the GSC and grew it out a few times now.
Thing with fastbudz though is a while back they were just slapping popular strain names on anything.
They also got into a lot of shit over the GSC adverts they did :rofl:

I’ve got a few in my veg tent because I like trying new things, last time I ran “autos” they turned out to be fast photos, decent enough smoke but nothing to write home about. Probably gonna use the ones I just started for bubble hash.

With everyone breeding cookies into thier lines this is one of the things i was worried would happen.Just like with hop latent viroid something is bound to pop up one of these days.Check is in the mail it’s coming.Hopefully we have enough cats that save as many land races and solid genetics as possible and share them with everybody and not try to worry about making a buck.The autoflower thing is something I also worry about.Once you turn something into a chihuahua you can’t turn it back into a wolf.

I crossed sweet tooth with cream caramel then I bred the
Sweet tooth caramel back into a sweet tooth again lol

Cream caramel was a pretty small plant so that’s why I bred it back to a sweet tooth that strain had the height
Messed about with this strain for over a year ,lockdown experiments

  1. The home grower doest have to buy from dispensary or off the streets.
  2. Doesn’t have to worry about light leaks.
  3. Gets to sample bud that otherwise may not available to him.
  4. Can easily produce enough bud for his household.
  5. 63 days start to finish.
  6. No training needed.

I hate autos for the simple fact that they can show everyone how shitty a grower you are in half the time.

Yeah autos can do that for guys that’s aren’t experienced with them.
Just 1 f-up and it can be over for sure.
There is definitely a learning curve versus photos.
The pros and cons can go for both autos and photo.
We have are very familiar with the arguments.
If autos are so bad, then why are so many people turning to them. Maybe auto growers don’t know any better, or maybe they simply don’t want what photos have to offer.
Me I’m just going to grow what I think smokes the best, be it auto or photo. I don’t have a quota to meet.

My usual problem is keeping them small enough that they don’t burned by the light.

What size container do you grow them in? Usually autos flower if the taproot hits the edge of the container they’re in, so if you want smaller autos you can grow them in smaller containers

It’s only half the time if you believe the breeders shitty quotes on the adverts. Autos finish when they wanna finish same as photos :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes::v:
