1st grow, 3 strains to chose from.

Hi everyone, as the title says, I'm about to embark on my 1st grow soon. I plan on an indoor, and an outdoor grow. My indoor grow will be in a cabinet, about 55"x27" with 6 32w t8 flouros, although I plan to add another 2 bulb fixture. I have Cash Crop Auto, Auto #1, and Cindy 99. I have 3 of each strain to pick from and I have a couple questions.

As a beginner grower, would I be better to grow 3 of one of the auto strains, or scrog 1 Cindy indoors? For the outdoor grow, I've read that Cindy isn't well suited. Anyone have experience with these autos outdoors? Which of the two would be lower maintenance? I'm looking for something that I would need to visit as little as possible. Just let it grow, and visit it just to water if the weather is dry.

Who bred the cindy 99? Is it a true Brothers grimm? I wouldnt do autos outside Unless you can put them out now and it isn't cold at night. depends on location.

Unknown breeder. They were freebies from Dr Chronic. Wouldn't be able to go outdoors until the 1st week or 2 of may. Still dropping into the low 40's at night. Any reason for not being able to wait a month on doing the autos outside? Photo's do well here, and generally go out around mid may. With auto's finishing faster, I'd think they'd be ok. Like I said though, this is my 1st grow, and I'm looking to learn.

They prob would be fine yeah, They just do best under 18-20 hrs of light, and near the time of their finish the light time will prob be around 15 hrs or so. Just preference really.

Makes sense. I may hold off on the outdoor till next season, and just focus on indoor this year. Then I can start em indoors, and take a vacation so I can be home to move them outside a few hours a day to harden em before moving the pots to their plot.

Any idea on which would be best/easiest for a 1st timer? 1 photo, or 3 autos? I think the Cindy's are from Blim Burn.

I would start on sonme autos bud, Light schedule can stay the same right through, This will give you practice with LST etc. Just watch how you feed them, A lot of autos are sensitive, but not all. I've had some autos be N toxed until harvest after 1 feed but others take up food every watering.

Thanks. Went ahead with the Cash Crop autos on Monday. One made it's way though soil Tuesday, waiting on the other 2.
