    Anyone find autos a waste of time?

    Day 50 from sprout. These are in the garage and well-sealed...but I can smell it on the second floor at the back of the house. I put in a new carbon filter....I don't bother with one until they stink. The smell is completely gone now in the house. I have 4 weeks to go with these and then I'll...

    Are Auto's worth it these days.

    On top is either a 3BOG or a Ripley's OG that yielded 7 oz and below is a Alien Vs Triangle that yielded about the same. Both pictured at around 9 weeks. These were in 5-gallon grow bags. I switched to 3-gallon plastic pots and now get a smaller yield. Even with the bigger pots, these were a...

    Are Auto's worth it these days.

    I don't top, so I get about 2-3 oz per plant. I don't really need more than that.

    Are Auto's worth it these days.

    I can usually safely predict what my yield will be with autos. I grow 3 Bears OG and I get the same yield each time and they have been very predictable.

    Anyone find autos a waste of time?

    I believe that. My current 20/4 grow looks a lot better than my previous 24/0 ones.

    By the same token, I have noticed that the plants look healthier with 4 hours to rest. I understand you are losing 4 hours of grow time but I look at it as a step backward to take 2 forward. That's just my unscientific observation.

    Anyone find autos a waste of time?

    That's what I do. I run auto or photo depending on outside temps and time of year, My last run was photo Ethos Mandarin Cookies. It was 4 1/2 months though. Being able to cut the lights off for 12 hours made managing the temps doable. I've started doing 20/4 with autos. I did 24/0 forever. The 4...

    Cool. I grew the Dinafem CJ a while back and I liked it a lot. I'll give this one a try. Thanks!

    Anyone find autos a waste of time?

    It's a self-fulfilling prophecy for many. Their loss. The advances in autos over the last 10 years have been huge.

    Anyone find autos a waste of time?

    I grow in my garage. It's well insulated, but past mid-June it's too hot. On March 1 I did the math and photos weren't going to work. I popped these 3BOG beans and they grew their first leaves on March 7. They are now 6 weeks from seed. They'll be completely done by June 1. The ambient temp and...

    Anyone find autos a waste of time?

    I guess some of us are less serious about growing than others. That's just an observation. I think what makes sense for a hobbyist (me) and what makes sense for someone who might be doing it for commercial reasons, are worlds apart.

    Anyone find autos a waste of time?

    Exactly. Grow good auto beans and treat them right and the reward is huge.

    Anyone find autos a waste of time?

    Photos have the advantage of decades and decades of breeding and development. If they weren't better than autos for that reason alone, there would be something drastically wrong. The problem I see with the OP and detractors of autos in general...it's never a fair apples-to-apples comparison...

    How do you prolong auto vey cycle? I always believed it was determined.
