Haha..i dont turn to AUTO man..I love feminized..The specific situation made me to grow autos..My opinion is somewhere above about the fems and the autos :P
Im the same brother, wouldnt mind growing a few for the experience. But personally for my setup i can only see it as a disadvantage. Wouldnt mind doing an outdoor grow with them!!

Clearly they are only for selling and experiencing or in a time lack situation, IN COMPARE WITH THE FEMINIZED VERSION OF EACH AUTO :P hahaha!
Thats the painfull true!

Only benefit i can personally see to grow autos is if you only have 1 room/tent so they dont need a veg/clone room and a flower room as the light schedules all the same i believe bro. And wanting to squeeze in a harvest outdoors during summer. But thats about it imo. Open to others to convince me otherwise lol.

Haha yea..the specific auto i bought can easily be compared to many OTHER FEMINIZED STRAINS i bilieve, based on the numbers..i ordered 9 for a 1mx1m tent..3x3 plants in there in 10ltr pots..take a look at the strain info, what do you bilieve..!

I think its pretty strong for an AUTO!

I Dont pay much attention to what the breeders say, remember their trying to sell you their seeds lol. But had a look at the reviews. Alot of positive comments. Looks like a good plant for indoors! One guys said dont let humidity get too high!? Being 85% indica, will probably have solid nugs so might b suseptible to mould late flower? But looks like a very nice choice my man! Looks like one of the newer autos that are close to photoperiod quality!?

Thats seems to me also..their fem bubba is totally better but in compare with some other fems of this company and of the other companies, i could easy call it competitive..!!

Hi all guys!..
First of all i am a coco synthetic nutrition grower..
Well, i have never grown autos before cause of the lower level of thc due to the ruderalis mix but now, i must do a quick run cause i leave my home and move to a new place and i must run 9x bubba kush from humboldt which i found they are the best for me based on the numbers they give..
So i have 2 specific questions(nothing else :bigjoint: ):
1st: In these 70 days(10 weeks) strain..Which weeks are veg,which are transmission and which are flowering weeks?
and the
2nd: Can i TOP ONCE and LST ONCE in this VEG available time? Also can i DEFOLIATE(at day 20 from transmisson as i do on feminized?)

Thank you in advane brothers!
Keep it flowering!

My growing technique when growing autos is I leave them the hell alone other than feeding 1/2 strength nutes starting at 14 days. Definitely don't defoliate. Leaves photosynthesize...buds don't. The leaves are the plants food pantry and solar panels. Other than clearing out the peach fuzz around the base after stretch I would leave them alone.

i only grow autos,and I'm pretty shitty grower..
Advantages are,you can have perpetual grows in one tent,you dont have to f up wit light cycles and shit's, they are much more resistent that photos (I did 2 photo grows), they are mainly done in 80-90 days from seed..
Only dumb ass mfo can thing that thc% = how good or strong weed will be..It's like claming 90% medical alcohol is better than henny XO..

Topping for lots of small size tops is good for high rh area's were budrot and mold is a concern, no topping for a few big colas. I prefer no topping on auto's, leaf tuck, ponytailing is all they need to turn into a bush

The fem is OG Kush x Afghan, and the auto is Bubba Pre'98 x Ruderalis...I think they totally arent related with each other right? Even with the same name from the same company..i think they are totally different...What do you bilieve?..
How OG Kush x Afghan can be related with Pre 98??
Also look at the CDB 0.3 the auto vs 0.1 the fem..Maybe the fem has more thc but the cbd has a critical role on the potency when its combined with thc right?..SO..I bilieve the auto will be better about quality!
Whats your opinion..!?

Strain descriptions are always subjective. What one persons overall effect from it differs from someone else. I never look at the ruderalis side as there is more than one version of it.

Asian , Europe and even Russia.... these are wild strains tempered for the harsh environments in the countries they come from. Which aids in some of the characteristics - speed , tolerance, etc.

Regular and FEM , landrace are the base strains for these little creations. CBD role is to TEMPER the psychoactive element to make some strains more tolerable ( clearer head ) ... but you can get heavy CBD autos if interested in the more medical benefit . 1:1 strains are out there ... lower high .... high med benefit stuffed into a fast growing plant.

To me ... the ONLY way to judge a breeders offering is to research the dominant strain (s) used ..... to see how complimentary they are to each other. How similar their profiles are. Any breeder can name a cut used .... but is it really as stated ? Who knows. You will find autos can and do grow differently from same stock. Which is dead giveaway that the “ generation “ of seed still needs refining.

Example : just finished two PSYCHOFRUIT
Autos .... one grew spear shaped long buds , the other big dense colas in a stocky shape.

Also ... percentage of thc stated ... was that an ACTUAL lab test or AVERAGE percentage. ?

This is why it is way too easy to overthink them.

That was my understanding of autos also. Timeframe is short, try not to stress/stunt them..?

just more nonsense in this thread. You must've had a hard tmie trying to grow them. They aren't for everyone.
You obviously didnt read my prior posts. Ive NEVER grown autos. Im interested in what others have to say about them as they intrigue me to some degree and may grow them in the future. What i have been posting is based on research and grow journels from other auto growers. And common sense. You stated earlier that "topping can be done" yes it can but im sure its not a common practice with autos if yield is a concern? (Im sure Mcstrats will agree!)You also said "Autos ARE in the mid to high 20s" (thc content i figure) i said "i bet not very often" you dont find many strains averaging in the high 20s with photo or autos! The average thc content of a photoperiod og kush is between 20 - 25%! Have a quick read of this. Or are we just talking more nonsense in this thread?Screenshot_20190405-065955_Firefox.jpg

Have you ever smoked a bud with 10% thc and compared it to a bud at 25% thc? I have. And i can tell you now the bud with 25% thc was MUCH stronger! And thc is nothing like alcohol lol.

Every auto strain is different imo... some love lst and topping and some just completely stunt growth. Ive beat autos up with training/stem cracking and still yield 2oz. My avg is 4-6 oz a plant with topping/lst. The key to training autos is finding which ones have a long veg time to give you time to play with them before flower. WW and NL have long veg times along with many other strains ive found along the way.

Rhis is my point you DO NOT grow autos. Many many autos from good breeders, MEPHISTO, DINAFEM, SWEET SEEDS, FAST BUDS and DUTCH PASSION are not photo x auto for sale. They BREED to 5+ generations for real products. Yes regularly over 20% thc. Yes autos can be topped with excellent results if the plant is haelthy before flower starts. You have some weird man crush on TC by reading his journal but can't offer much here. What i said was simple response but non the less true.

Youre contradicting yourself brother! You said mid to high 20s now your saying over 20%! Big difference! And yes that was my whole point. Even if they breed for 10 generations it still has a small percentage of weak thc ruderallis in it. If it didnt then it wouldnt be an auto flower. Dont have to grow it to figure that out. Its not hard man. Your making out like its some sort of miracle plant when its just a plant that flowers when mature and has improved over the decades from selective breeding. Or do i need to grow them to know that!? Im not the only one that mentioned thc here "wink" or should i say "TC"? Lol

You are a clown. You can't offer any advise only copy and paste what you see. I do grow autos, good results too. Most if not all of the breeder Mephisto clock over 20% and Double Grape was tested at 27% and Gold Glue at 30% to name a few exacts from them. So yeah, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29% and 30% thc since i need to spell it oit for you. Nothing else i can do for you though.
