yeah u can even run autos on 24 hrs of light but it depends what ur setup is in terms of energy cost

Yeah. I'm a newbie and after reading on RIU I figured out that the 12/12 cycle was far from ideal. Sure it works, but it kinda defeats the purpose. I was afraid my yield was going to suffer after I saw them plateau at about week 4-5. I'm thinking I might only get a zip between both of the fast buds. In the future I'm probably going to stick to some short-medium flowering strains indoors that I can clone. Unless I can set up a seperate little room . I think I'm going to plant auto's outdoors next spring, so I can be done before the po is out and looking.

So here is the question. What is the best auto strain for outdoors? I'm in the mtns at about 1,400 ft from sea level in a location where I've seen friends do really really well with blueberry.

WHY IS NIRVANA STILL SELLING INFERIOR AUTO SEEDS? AUTO BUBBALICIOUS IS MORE LIKE BUNKA-LICK-PISS. Here is a pic of the one that wasn't a hermie at week 9

NOT SURE HOW THEY ARE ,(anyone with info on them !!!!) BUT SOME OF THE SEVEN DWARF STRAINS SEEM LIKE THEY COULD BE A GOOD OUTSIDE GROW LIKE THE COLOSUS THEY STATE THIS IS A LARGE AUTO, COULD DO GOOD . ALSO STATED EARLY ON IN THIS THREAD THAT DR. GREENTHUMB AUTO IRANIAN IS GOOD OUT DOOR GROW .

Thanks Surfhead. I'll do some research on the seven dwarfs. Saw the Iranian post earlier too. Seems like you have to be really selective with auto seeds. I'm excited to smoke the fast bud. it has a very pungent good smell. Diesel like I guess.

Great thread. Taking it all in.

sappning Kenji,, surfhead is bang on the money in regards of yield,, i ran some autos alongside sum kush cheese and la woman ( just for an experiment) and flipped the switch to 12/12 on week 4,, They really did not like it AT ALL,,after doing quite a few autos now i could see that i lost potentially 40 - 50% of my yield,,in my opinion autos when dne right R far superior,, with one tent, two trays a 400 whps and 250 cfl and a stagger of planting time of 5 weeks ( each tray) i get t crop every 35 days .!!!! If yr after big yielders outdoors,, The onyx is worth looking into,, there seems to be a few grows documented with this particular strain,, also Easy ryder is a pretty much guaranteed winner!!
Hope this helps

Ladies and Gents,
Has anyone know or heard of an autoflowering Cheese strain? I'd be very interested in trying it out.
Happy growing,
Yarndi.

I've read that the Speed-Devil and Big Buddha's auto have 'under-tones' of cheese but I'm looing for an auto of the real deal.
 
Hey guys, thought I would post and let you know how my first grow with autoflowers went. I grew 1 x dutch passion auto-blueberry and 1 x short stuff auto assassin. Also germinated a green-o-matic but killed it through harsh treatment. Glad that was the case though because my grow cupboard was pretty full as it is. After starting off with a small CFL moved them to 250w HPS after about 2 weeks. The auto blueberry grew a bit out of control! This is probably because it should have been topped but also may have caused the plant to stretch early on (it was our first grow). Auto assassin grew v short - maybe 40cm. I read in a journal that there are two types you can end up with. This was the shorter bushier type with more indica looking leaves. Harvested both plants after 9-10 weeks and got about 88g dry from auto blueberry and about 38g from the auto assassin. Was actually really impressed with auto b's taste and smell. Nice light happy smoke. The auto-assasin is a bit more intense, only really smells nicer when its dried and a heavier smoke. I would grow both types again. Currently growing diesel ryder and a la diva variety. May start a journal!!.

Dave. Want to make sure I'm reading this correctly. You got 88g dry from 1 Auto Blueberry? I've heard 28-56 is doing well. Any pics of that bad girl before she was chopped? :o

Sappning guys????galls??? Nice looking bud surfhead, i was tempted to try the greenomatic and see what she can do,, you got any pics in growth???i always read the descriptions on the seed database but there averages height/yield etc etc are given for optimum grow enviroments i always find seeing the real deal grown is so much more informative... I got six easys in there at the mo,, basically my tent wasnt big enuff for two full size trays so the babys have gone elsewhere untill these r ready to cum dwn!!!
Easy ryder 60ish days from seed!!!
Growlow.
