Hey RIU,
Looking for a new auto to run on my next crop. Here's the criteria...
1. Must be a fast finisher. Maximum 70 days. No longer
2. Must be potent smoke.
3. Yield is important but not as much as the 2 aforementioned traits.
Here's the ones I've already tried. Dinafem auto white widow; World of seeds afghan kush Ryder; Nirvana auto northern lights; Paradise seeds auto wappa; I'm currently running Pyramid seeds auto white widow.
If you've grown something or saw one grown that fits is even better. Ok recommendations...

Hey hotshot what's up bro, It seems u run some autos so I got a couple questions if u don't mind.. I ran a batch with my photos and I was unimpressed it was only my third run period so I can't blame the autos..lol
Anyway, do u start in final pot? And do u do any topping/lst? I hear so many different ways, do this don't do that so I'm gonna see what one or two people who run them think..
I'm downsizing and thinking bout giving autos another shot.. Thanks in advance..

Yea I always finish in same pot as I start in. Don't want to slow them down in any way. This run I put them in 5 gallon pots and filled it with about 3 1/2 gallons of ocean forest mixed with happy frog. I top fed 1 1/2 gallons of sub's super soil. Most people do it in reverse with super soil on bottom 1/3rd. But so far so good. I just cut the cola off the first cola and its pretty frosty. Here's a pic of that cola. I usually don't do any training with mine. Au natural. Why were you unimpressed? What size pot did you grow in? What size/kind of light you grew under? What strain was it? I grew these alongside my photos as well. Any more questions you have just ask. I'll be glad to help.

Thanks for reply.. They were heavyweight fast and vast started in 5gal under 1000hps.. 4 plants total just over 2oz's so bout 1/2 zip each.. Seemed like a waste under that much light.. I'm thinking 3gal this time it just seemed it took a long time to really get started in 5gal also will be on much smaller scale.. Closet grow this time as I don't have that space anymore.. My photos averaged 4-5 zips each..
Couple pics

Keep in mind auto's need more than just the 12 hrs of light so if you are budding them in with photos they wont produce very well on 12 hrs and take along time, I run my lights 24-0 most say at least 18-20 hrs

Yep... You could've probably easily doubled your yield going 20/4 or 24/0. Because a half oz in 5 gallon pots under 1000 watts of light is not too good. The bare minimum ive gotten is about that but in 1 gallon pots and a little over 300 watts with 4 other girls that yielded much more.

U now seemy disappointment..lol

I did get bout 47 zips on 10 photos so that eased the pain..

Ok I need some auto strain recommendations fellas. Just did a little research on THC bomb auto by bomb seeds, LA diva and cheese candy auto by delicious, bubble kush auto by royal queen and kush van stitch. One of these may be on my target list.
