MikeBuds a member here grew Sweet Seeds Auto Creme Mandarins either the regular size or the xxl(can't remember) and they only went in 55 days. Look up the journal. They looked very nice.

well I hope you can recover... I wish I had more experience with autos to suggest some fast ones, but this year is really my first time growing any. I grew some 10 years ago... purple ryder... don't remember the breeder... just remember they stayed small as advertised about 10-12 inches tall. and that you had to smoke like a whole joint to get high... and I am a light smoker. Only smoke a few times a year due to drug tests at work. Usually if i have good stuff I can take 2 or 3 hits off a pipe and I am good! that shit was weak... I have been reading good things about the newer autos and my outdoor grow season is short so i thought I'd give them a try.

Managed to find some fast autos, ROYAL JACK & FAST ONE. Just hope the description by the breeder was right and they‘re not trying to pull a fast one...cheap joke I know.....

Grew AK 47 last year and they hit the Spot; lovely smoke....

make sure to let us know how they turn out... I am looking forward to seeing them and hope you have better luck this time.

I stopped counting the number of auto strains I've grown.... but it's a lot. But the phrase "fast auto" will certainly have different meanings to different people. How fast are you looking for?

In my experience Royal Jack Auto is a 12 - 14 week, seed to harvest plant - running 24/0 under 400 watts (LEDs). This one was a consistent semi-predictable plant.

I've never grown a "fast one" but I've done a "quick one" and it's a 10 - 14 week, seed to harvest plant - running 24/0 under 400 watts (LEDs). This one I found to be a lot more unpredictable on its grow time.

Now both of those "could" be harvested sooner, but my harvest time frame is based on when it's actually ready to harvest for best yields. Also, I've ran both of those plants under a 600 watt LED setup and had similar results - nothing substantially better that would make the extra power burn worth the cost. I generally test plants under different setups to get a better understanding of the strain.

And my "watts" rating is actual power consumption - not any of the crazy "its just like 3000W" nonsense that is common with LEDs today.

So, overall, there are certainly faster strains to grow. Some of the older less popular strains like Lowryder have been pretty hard to beat for "fast" strains. Lowryder is a solid 8 week, seed to harvest plant - running 24/0 under 400 watts (LEDs). But it's also not the best on the 'yield' front.

And some of the Fast Buds strains are pretty fast as well. Just depends on what you are looking for... would need more information about expected time frame that is "fast" and yield amount to give a better answer.

Both are reliable seed banks.

There are ..... a few . But don’t expect much from them in the end .

60 day Wonder
Dwarf strains
“ some “ lowryders. Dwarf Ryder .
Marmalate .... ( good smoke tho ) .

I would look into “ critter control “ moreover .

Fast.. this year I direct seeded in greenhouse with 14.5 hours. In 5 weeks at 17 hours light, I am in full flower. I see frost on many plants.

JEMS auto
pineapple Express auto
Grapey Walter auto
Swiss dream auto
Dinafem cbd auto

All seemed fast to be so far along flowering in 5 weeks.

Maybe light and temp with autos is a large factor in start of flower?

Imo my plants seem to never finish in the cool nights and natural sunlight

Hey how did the Creamatic go any pics? did you get them from RQS? I'm currently growing some Royal cheese autos with seeds from RQS and theyve seemed a bit weak (couldn't possibly be my technique;))

I am growing them outdoors and I had some issues with slugs. I addressed the slugs and they appear to be doing better but I am sure the yield will suffer. IMG_20190621_202317.jpg

I will let you know how it smokes when they are done. Definitely going to take longer than 7-8 weeks. I am starting week 7 tomorrow and I'm sure there will be a few more weeks.

thx for the update...good luck with it...this is my first season growing and due to the lack of supply around here it's a pretty anxious wait! Will look forward to the smoke report :)

This is kind of my first time with autos... So I definitely feel like I learned a lot this year. On the plus side... They aren't huge but the northern cheese haze auto and RQS diesel auto freebie I got are looking good. IMG_20190704_173813.jpg IMG_20190704_173821.jpg IMG_20190704_173828.jpg
