Anyone know how these photoperiods stack up vs these autos (strians named)

Oh that's dissapointing. I know there's ruderallis in the genes, I just didn't know how many times they could wash it out with other photoperiod strains and still get the auto factor.
I was hoping they could take a photo strain with say 18% and cross it with some ruderallis @ 6% and maybe come back with 12%?
What if they took that 12% mother and crossed it back again to another 18% photo plant ? Would it bring the THC up more, or dilute the ruderallis gene too much to make it auto?

i'm not sure about that last part as i'm far from a breeder.. my point was simply why would you want to mess around with any plant that has rud. genetics in it when there's tons of strains that aren't autos and therefore going to be way more potent??

the only real reason i can see for growing autos is say you live in a northern climate and it gets too cold before normal photo period plants would finish outdoors in that area, say parts of canada and northern maine as well as lots of areas of europe..
or, if you want to get a crop in by mid summer before the popo and rippers are really out looking for full grown plants..
or, lol, you have normal photoperiod plants going and throw in some auto's for some smoke while you're waiting for the photo's to finish..

or, lol again, i'm not hating on auto's tbh, i just don't have much use for them myself being as there are tons of more potent, better yielding options out there..
the only auto that has my attention, and it's not a true auto imvho as it doesn't contain any ruderalis, is iranian short season, aka, iranian auto, by dr greenthumbs..
 
This is supposed to be good stuff, can spray up to the day of harvest.

Maybe so abotu the ruderalis diluting the tch genes but when you set up a breeding program you can have plants almost identical to photoperiods with the autflower gene.

Also, Think Different Ive heard is a top quality plant including amongst photopd and I heard auto mazar and afghan kush ryder are the two best auto indicas where as TD is a sativa. True about the two indicas?
 
the AKR has maybe 2 amazing pheno's the others are just skunky but still great smoke
think different is a totally different ball park its a "super auto" so it runs a good bit longer
the mazar has some good weights looks good in a bag but it just wasnt for me

Thats what I think I'm going to do, just change out two of the four HO T5s in the veg tent for more red and leave it in there, with all the juvenile and baby photo plants.

It will be fun to unzip the tent each day and see a budding plant in there! It was a freebie, so what the hell.

Maybe I'll get surprised!
 
Which of you guys has have smoked autos (including the ones i mentioned esp) and photos as well (again preferably the ones i mentioned) and how mcuh diffeent did it really feel?
 
well this is just my opinion
but you can only get so high
its different but not enough to eliminate auto's all together for the time/space i feel that every one you mentioned is worth the space
all 3 smoke good akr has my vote for flavor/potency
think different has it for yield /potency
the mazar is great if you want some weight to move and dont plan on smoking it but thats just my opinion i could of had some bad pheno's didnt like the initial results so i just junked the rest

ive been growing auto's for personal use for a few years now
im adding another room so i can have some photo's too
but have been growing nothing but auto's for a while
