First auto grow (barneys critical kush)

Hi guy's I'm trying out autos for the first time after reading about how much they've improved in recent years. I've done a good few photo period grows over the years so I have some knowledge and experience.
I'm using coco with canna nutes in shared 20l pots (should be plenty of room).
They were planted on 16 January and were above the surface and developing first leaves on 20 January. I only started taking pictures today after finding this site so here they are on 6 February.

Normally i wouldn't share pots, but 5 gal pf coco should be fine for 2 autos. Concern is Barney's. They have a long standing bad rep for hermie plants. Hopefully they turn out good and you might like to try better top tier autos. Mephisto/Dinafem are very good as well as Sweet Seeds/Fast Buds/Dutch Passion to name a few more. Others will always have their favs but stay close to the above and you will get high quality genes.

Admittedly I did jump in a bit quick with the barneys strain and after more research I should've went with dinafem or mephisto. I'll try a more reputable breeder next time round.
Nonetheless I'll ride these out n see what they do.

Shoot it's not like they can't turn out good it's jist that more Barney's is bad than good. They look good so far to me.

everyone knows mephisto best for autos but what about reg seed im on a mephisto run atm but want better and not in auto i want reg seed?

There is absolutely no reason to go 2 plants in 1 pot when growing in coco, unless there is no more pots left in the earth. Especially if it forces you to plant them that close. (you could make yourself a pot from anything but you get the point) And there is bunch of negative effects that comes with it. So you definitely went with wrong decision there, but its okay. You live and you learn.

I like HSO for photos. There are so many names its hard to say. Dinafem has regs, Nirvana, Bodhi, Mr. nice(i belive is the name), Rare Dankness, i LOVE Greenhouses' Super Lemon Haze to death. I've not done alot outside HSO aside from SLH, Sweet Seeds Ice, and whatever freebies i get when i order from Attitude. I usually stay loyal to the first things that i like. HSO being the second breeder after SLH being my first few grows.

I wanted to try the autos myself as well, but than saw Fast Buds BD and never really saw how it was so never got 1 or the other. Might be up for a side by side of them both soon. Greenhouse now has SLH auto as well for awhile now that I've been meaning to grab.

I got ZkittleZ, Girl scout cookies and Blue Dream'matic from them. I would love to have big ol' tall blue dream bush but I don't wanna wait for a sativa again. So I will probably go with ZkittleZ and GSC in two seperate places. Its gonna be good.

Im very pleased with Mephisto and since switching to autos last year have around $1,200 invested in 35+ of their strains but curious whete do people get Fast Buds from in the states? I went to their site and if i recall i didn't get US from tbe drop down shipping country. Concidered trusty ol' Attitude, but was curious on if there was a solid in state place with any deals lime 3+2 or buy 1 get 1 on them.

Never used them. If outside US I'd just stick with Attitude tbh. Never lost seeds or got wrong stuff so makes no point to switch now.

Haven't ordered from them yet, so I can't endorse or malign, but Hella Dank Seeds has a few fast buds autos to consider.

They are Sativa(real BD is), so makes sense they shouldn't be hard as a rock type.

Day 28 from seed
