woods.. I live in fort nelson.. close to the yukon.. im gonna experiment this summer...outdoors.. well autos is a good option for the crazy shit light cycle we get up here in true north Canada
My plan is to start breeding an auto strain for northern areas where the sun is 20 hours a day in the summer.. Growing season where I am is the end of may to mid sept.. The sun doesn't get to 12 hours until early sept.. And I've tried autos up here.. They work well and are done before frost
so some of us that enjoy growing for themselves. live in places where a regular photo strain would die well before its done ,if not in some kind of heated greenhouse.
so for people such as myself. Auto flowers are a smart choice, and yes i see that some people have a negative idea on autos...
how many northern Canadian growers are there out there?.. or anyone from up north?.... i think i might have an idea if we live close enough to each other.. and it could make us some real moneys
as for autos in indoors there faster than any thin photo ive ever grown...once you start breeding things proper you can rule out all the low quality shit and just have the auto flower gene itself left their....size doesn't seem to matter to vegging as much as one thinks..the auto ive grown can...
doing it in a lab would just result in consistency because you could turn off un wanted traits..just dont apply genes from other plants or animals and things are with in the rules of nature
well like your name says you made a newb mistake. its gonna recover but take a long time. put it on a 20/4 cycle and make sure to have some kind of light that's in the blue range..it should start to grow in another week
this has been tested before autos do best with some dark and more light like an 18/6 or 20/4 best seems to be 19/5.. as for switching the cycles all the time.. it might cause the plant to stress out which intern causes it to switch sex and lose yield
to stop the bullshit.. I LIVE UP NORTH.. PHOTO STRAINS OUTSIDE WOULD DIE WELL BEFORE THEY ARE DONE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE LIGHT CYLCE UP HERE IS 20/4 WELL INTO AUGUST..FROST COMES MID SEPT..
that being said.. autoflower which COME FROM SIBERIA...are my only option for outdoor breeding.. so...
