Autoflower Vs. 12/12 from seed

I would like to know if 12/12 from seed is practical. I know i will save on electricity since I will not need to run my lights for 20 hours. Will 6 photosensitive plants in a deep water culture do just as well as 6 autoflowers? Can anyone recommend a strain?

I was going to try both ways to see which I liked the best,didn't get past 12x12fs love it.

With photoperiod I can flower when I want to with auto it flowers when it wants to I believe. (sorry about spelling)

A good source told me try blue dream,haven't tried it myself,anything will work I like quick ones.

12/12 from seed will almost always out yield autos. Photo strains are much better genetics and quality than autos .

Does anyone know any proven 12/12 from seed winners?Also how long would it take to make 6 clones from one seed?

Sativas and hybrids are best from 12/12 from seed. You sprout the seed in 12/12 or throw it into 12/12 when it gets it first set of leaves. If you want clones. Its better to veg than do 12/12 fs.

i agree with hyroot
keep in mind you can run 12/12 from clones but i think you'll need some where else to keep a mother or 2 like a veg cabinet or something

I started to think along the lines of grow one, possibly in soil to get a feel for it ?Then make 6 clones from it and put them in my "DWC".Overall i think that would take much longer then just doing 6 autos.I think I will stick with 3 autos and also put 3 sativa hybrids from seed in the same system.

She is a little over watered right now, but this is my purple kush from about 3 or 4 days after she popped out of her husk, not an auto by the way!

IrieGabb you could have 6 clones from a seed as early as 30 days... under ideal conditions. For a new grower... more like 60-90 days.
