Why do you newbs always grow auto's?

[.ODanksta.]

Y'all do know they suck right? They are a horrible idea to even start with.

You can't take cuttings, they yield like shit and they use more light..

Can one of y'all share with me why you would possibly ever want to grow shit genetics?

First grow going i would never use auto XD even tho some of my friends said that its good for first (no idea why) but i still went with basic.. if id have to guess id say its because its simple..? Dunno

Cheers to regular beans.

Seems like a sales gimmick to me..

Its simple & and if you want to start different plants at different stages then you need to separate the grows...
If they are sooooo shit dude ? Then why are they selling ???
And why would you care ??
Have you got nothing better to do other than hang out on a newbie forum ???

Are you bored? Was there someone in particular you were trying to bait? Otherwise I'm not sure why you would direct this thread at people that spend most of their time panicking, googling, and running the gauntlet on RIU trying to find help?
Plenty of people grow autos, experienced growers, so why not ask them to explain their choices instead of picking on newbs? Or do you just want a laugh at the silly things newbs say? Cos I guess i get that...

I don't know, yeah definitely bored. I'm a breeder getting ready to launch a seed company. My motto is no fems or autos. I don't care if they sell better. But from a breeders stand point I can only see one reason to sell them and that's for buyers to return to buy more seeds. Great business idea, but I believe in quality.

I'm not saying they are completely trash. But I just think they are a waste of time.

Am I not allowed to hang out in the newbie section?

I guess I can understand starting at different flowering times. We do that too in regular gardens it's called perpetual.

But maintaining an even canopy is one of the most important factors of increased yields

I was gonna grow normal but then found out about autos.. Never heard of/ had them in my country so now you have me googling and panicking that my Heavyweights Are gonna be pussss...
I would be sooooo pissed if you sold me regular seeds.. And then I'm left with a seedy crop..
Better make that fine print a bit bigger )

Side lighting ).

When u say canopy, it means the branches right? Like how many branches u got & are they stable something like that?

 

[Cannacat]

I guess I see your point. Although I think the fact that autos mean you can get 10+ week flowering strains completed much faster is why they're so popular, and I've actually seen autos on here that yield pretty good too.. And fems are all very well as long as they've been stabilised before they get sent out into the public domain cos there's enough hermie plants in the world already. That is the full extent of my knowledge on the subject, unfortunately I haven't reached the dizzy heights of breeder myself yet but it's on the to-do list. You know, when I've completed my first harvest! Good luck with your company la

Regular beans have less of a chance of going hermie than fems.

Out of the thousands of reg beans I've popped I've never once had a herime. But about 70% of fem went hermie on me..

That's common knowledge in the community

Gonna have 1000w above and 450w sides in a 700x1500x2000..
Gonna have to use the free fem reg seeds eventually)
Hang out in newbie zone all you want)
The more the merrier cuzzy..

The canopy is the tops of the plant, like in a forest, the roof where all the trees close over and block out the sky is the canopy, you want to keep it as even as possible so all your bud sites get equal light.

Yes the canopy is the top of the plant/plants. By having it as even as possible you increase your yields.

So this is the first flower room of my 4. Each flower room will have three 1000w bulbs. Which allows for a three week weaving stage for the trellis/scrog and 9 weeks of flower. We are hoping for 6 pounds ever three weeks.. At 2k a pound that's around 208,000 a year

Cool thanks for clearing that out guys

I'm probably going to start a Tinychat channel to help out newbs from here and just bullshit around. I've got over 10 years experience.. I'll even send out free testers for you guys..

 

[.ODanksta.]

I will remember your site "TC channel" for in the future.
Prefer indica because they are smaller and iv read that the stone is more "hammer time" narcotic style...
I like my movement restricted lol
If my autos turn out to be shit I will be even more pissed!!!!
Iv heard that people can tell the difference when smoked....

I couldn't tell you, I've never smoked an auto. But I hear that they are fluffy. But I'm sure the genetics are improving.

But when autos first came out they were extremely crappy.. Lol lowrider#2 .. 10 gram plants, lol no thanks..

 

[.ODanksta.]

And people talk about they are faster.. You can grow regular beans from 12/12 and be done in 9 weeks. But I strongly suggest minimum of a 3 week veg. It should take about a hundred days to run a full cycle

 

[gixxa]

Do you know if these pots will be big enough for these "fast n vast" autos ??
They are approximately 5L/ 1.3gal
The plant is supposed to get 1.2m/ 4ft tall.
Otherwise I will be transplanting tomorrow into bigger.
Ruler in front to see
