So just received my seeds from Attitude and got an Autoflower fem seed. Here is my question. My tent is strictly for 12/12 and my understanding is auto will do better with more light. So should I stick it in

1. A pc case I made with 81w in CFL's running 24/7
OR
2. In my tent with a 600w HPS running 12/12.

Not sure which would be better... Better light for 12hrs or less light 24hrs????

more watts, less hours, i'd say. Put it in a nice place. What strain u got? I got a supersonic crystal storm that has been used for fem seed production, its also sharing a pot with another plant, and it spent most its time away from the intense light. Its lookin like Ill get maybe a 1/2 oz off the whole thing. So I would imagine that if all those variables were alot more positive, it could easily be showing an Oz right now. In a PC case you might get too much stretching happen and have to tie it back or cut it back, so yeah, put it in the 600w room. Some auto phenos stretch alot

If I remember I got just under an ounce dry from a WW Auto 12/12 FS that's with a 90w led, I'm sure it's in this thread somewhere.

Lowblowers right too, you'll get too much stretch in the PC case unless you lst the main stem flat in a planter.

Put it straight into your flower space you'll be surprised at the result besides its a freebie ;)

It's G13 Pineapple Express Auto. I'm going to be putting straight in the 12/12 tent

Also got
Barneys Farm Blue Cheese, Violator Kush, LSD, and Critical Kush.
Freebie - Cali Connection Sour Diesel and of course the auto

I will however be doing one thing different I will start the seeds in the pc case under 18/6 and gradually introduce them into the tent and to a lower light schedule over the first 1-2 weeks. First time they seemed to do much better with clfs than the HPS. So maybe not a true 12/12, but if it works I'll take it.

Kabrales 12/12 FS

Complex hash smell (from fan leaf THC pinch test) with hints of fruit and a light spiciness - been flowering just under three weeks (since the calyxes started properly multiplying)

very nice pics

one question from the knowledge holder please

how long is the adverage time for pistils to start to show on a 12/12 schedule
i know there will be varriations based on genetics and strain input like sativa an indica percentages
but an adverege between time is whut i seek - say between 4 and 6 weeks or sumtine like that

much thanks for anyones time that holds the answer and thinks i deserve a answer

thank you

hey dwez, you're right it really depends on the strain
have had some show as early as 18 days and some as late as 35+ on average i'd say about 3-4 weeks

I would agree, 3-4 weeks is a good average in coco, but from my experience in Soil I would say 5-6 weeks, sometimes maybe even as late as 8 weeks, although I'm sure that was down to my soil not being good enough.

That Dog does look nice. Looks reaaally similar to a pic of chemdog I saw on some hightimes CC highlights reel on youtube about a year ago. So looks like u got the right genetics :-)

Do you have a deficiency at 2:08? The one which is taller than all the others but trained to be horizontal. I have the same thing happening to one of mine(the leaf claw) and perhaps it might be the same thing as yours.

Also, I love the rotating table, that's a smashing idea!

Sometimes I get a claw here and there. I've never admitted to having a deficiency, if anything it's probably an excess of something in my case. I run stuff pretty hot most the time.

Does anyone take clones and once they are rooted put them straight into 12/12? Or are seeds better?

I think clones would flower almost immediately that way. You'd end up with much smaller plants. Some do it for a sea of green though, and I think it can work great. With a seed on 12/12, they still veg for awhile before they're sexually mature enough to flower. A SOG is more risky though. More plants = more risk. Size doesn't seem to matter as much as quantity of plants. I'm only allowed 6 flowering plants.
