Auto Freebies - Anyone familiar?

Afternoon
Going to dip toes back in the water with a little auto training camp as I wait for the ‘one’ to land.
Just wondering if any of you have any knowledge/ experience of any of these? Regime/ medium, what the outcome was etc etc?

Never ran autos previously never mind these have always wondered what the point was but still any feedback welcome. Thanks.

Orange sherbet is a great producer, got just over 5oz on my first run. lovely citrus flavour and after a good cure can taste a sweet sherbet note. Good hybrid high but more sorted for the day.

Wedding cheesecake is a banger as well. Ranges from creamy vanilla to fruity putrid cheese. The pheno I have atm is in your face cheesy. One before was like vanilla blueberry cake, best I’ve smoked of any flower but most likely lucky phenotype.

Not grown the rest but look decent, didn’t know there was an automatic strawberry cough….

Best thing with autos is a low EC media to promote rooting in early growth. Then up the feed. The limited veg time with autos makes the seedling/veg phase much more precious.

Transplanting is optional but don’t wait longer than 3 weeks! Ideally start of 2nd week is what I do.

Good luck

for me these are the breeders used:
Ethos (Pluto cut)
Magic Strains
Mephisto
Speedrun (Mutant Genetics)

Considering my current Auto grow, I might suggest trying to stick to the same type of strain. Reason I say this is I'm growing 2 Kush and 1 Sativa dominant. The feeding is quite a bit different with the Kush's, which seem to like more feeding than the particular Sativa strain (Sour Lemon) I'm running. I'm not sure of your growing experience with Photo's, so this might be an obvious nuance to you.

I wouldn't over think it though.

Thank you!
Yeah have not had any orange flavour for a while & the cheesecake whilst familiar as a strain I can’t say I have ever or I don’t remember rather having had it. Anything like how you described though it should he half decent. Yeah I have tried the cough from cut but never from auto that I know of anyway.
Yeah I was looking at dwc for these to focus on initial bang of growth to give best chance. Looking more like the bubblas as it stands & I guess if am using the tanks as opposed to the buckets I could aero them to begin with & then just move them in the collars..

Cheers for the info/ advice. Appreciated.

Yeah to be fair thats half the reason I asked. To see if anybody had that info as to what each one wants.
I guess that’s half the test for me -taking what you have said into consideration though I will probably go for single buckets - that way can dial each one in accordingly. So thank you was on obvious oversight tbf - rusty guy..Overall this is a warm up / re entry see if I can still see signs & just to learn again I guess. Perhaps even to run different nutes- might try some salts again instead of mainlines…experimental one could say is the over arching theme lol. Cheers. Thank you. Will update in due course.

To be fair I was about to order some of the Illuminautos. Got 3 in basket now - originally I wanted anything with the Livers in it & then got carried away with ‘ hmm but what if’s’ - will grab some this week for future but undecided at minute. To be fair am not even going to pretend I intend to look at any other autos unless like these are freebies. Even so thank you!

have to check=out illuminautos -wish you good hunting for "autos" . have grow'n some that only gave me less that 1/2 oz (if that) for 2.5 mo's growing time. That's why sometimes I throw in an auto for the hell of it.

Yeah, no I am not looking for any autos to be fair. Just thought I, as you said, would dash them in being as they are there & whilst I wait for a specific photo cut. I am curious to see what happens & overall just a bit of experience/ exposure.
& yeah not sure if that was sarcasm or genuine but defo have a look at the Illuminautos.. cheaper, experimental & generally one offs. (Again presuming no sarcasm) no offence taken if it was - don’t mind it at all at all but unsure so…

You will have fun! You will learn a lot. You Are about to put science in front of Nature and common sense.
It is a lot of fun to have A full cycle, sprout through harvest in less than 90 Days. You will think you slept the summer off.
Ya'll Photo growers that are set in your ways seem to not listen, or follow through with what A auto grower gives as helpfull and NESASARY instructions on how to work through A auto grow.
Totally get it because autos are biologically tainted basically, so you have to treat them as such.
No time for any mistakes. If you go one day behind with an auto it is like A half A week of Mother Nature time I think I am on the right track. Only one time out of 8 or more? Have I ended up with under 3 Zs most have been right at 4 dry
Pics today and back to last Mon.
First pics Bruce Banger Auto, Fast Buds.
Next, Purple Kush. Seed City.

got 8oz's from Citrus bubblegum (Speedrun) and also Ethos (Pluto cut) and FastBuds are the only breeder that have produced quality yields so far -- Mephisto - Magic Strains - Night Owl - Altas to name a few that had germination issues FYI

It is both. Although was just stating my personal experiences L.O.L.
Here is my new babies

I'm pretty fussy when it comes to auto breeders. Out of the breeders you have posted in the top pic the fastbuds are the winners.

Thank you for the input. I will give you're. T Testimony a run in my next project that sounds Awesome! my best Runs so far have all Ben fastbad's Also. Big fan of LSD 25. What are your favorite ?

for yields and taste : Citrus bubblegum Speedrum - was Mutant genetics
Gorilla Cookie (fast Buds) Ethos - Pluto Cut and Banana Daddy might a extra seed from Ethos (fem) the banana stuff gave good yields but didn't dig the banana taste Also umbolt is subpost to have a great auto
