So have what I would consider to be a reasonable amount of knowledge growing feminized and regular seed strain , but never being one to like to change when something is going good and issues don't arise , but these autos have me very interested in at least trying autos ... The few questions I have are :
* what determines the size that the auto will become ?
* can you clone from autos?
* do autos ever hermie or grow male flower?
* a lot of pics of autos ive seen on here look short ( but still amazing) what strain of auto grows to a good size before , say a metre tall and bushy as hell before flowering.
* do autos prefer LED or Hps or even MH ??

Im sure I can find all this info by scrolling through threads and reading up on seed banks etc but would really appreciate some feed back from some experienced auto growers .
I am at the very least gonna try one to see what they do grow like , so any strain suggestions, input would be great.
cheers

* what determines the size that the auto will become ? Pot size, genetics, skill.
* can you clone from autos? No. You can but the clones are on the same schedule as the mother and will flower around day 30 regardless.
* do autos ever hermie or grow male flower? No more so than a photoperiod.
* a lot of pics of autos ive seen on here look short ( but still amazing) what strain of auto grows to a good size before , say a metre tall and bushy as hell before flowering. I have some World of seeds auto amnesia that are almost 6 feet tall, gonna be around 8-9 oz each. Some Mephisto's get pretty large. Most auto's seem to average around 3' tall.
* do autos prefer LED or Hps or even MH ?? Yes. I had good growth under MH/HPS but I get faster, bushier growth under COBs. It was only a 400w HID though compared to 330w of COB. If I were running 600w, the grows would likely have been more comparable.

I'll suggest anything Mephisto has to offer. I'm about to germ a couple Hubbabubbasmelloscope in a few days when I chop the Amnesia's. :bigjoint:
