My neighbor down the street has a sticker on the back of his Jeep that says "only gay cops give me tickets." I have to imagine if you got pulled over and the cop had a sense of humor and was having a good day, it would probably get you a warning and a chuckle. But, if you passed a cop that was having a bad day, I feel like it might add to the charges. LOL

When you cherry pick, yes. But if you take the whole sentence that I specifically wrote out to hopefully avoid the stock response of "18-6 to 12-12 iSn'T thaT HarD!!!" Tgere are a number of things that cause stress over arrow, light schedule is just one of them.
I actually MISread it where you said they aren't easier, I read it as are. Wife came in and distracted me mid-read, sorry. So yeah, I agree autos aren't necessarily easier.

The one that baffles me is how someone would time the nutrition shift on an auto, I dose PK fixing fungi in the soil about a week before flipping lights so the soil is prepped for when the roots go looking for more PK. I would think that autos are more reactionary where you'd have to follow the plant instead of saying, "Nope, you're doing what I say and you're going to like it."

I've always said I'm an abusive plant dad, bend, cut, you'll sleep when I tell you and not a moment sooner. That's why I call my plants the Spartan Heiress.' They're spoiled in old age but they went through hell to get there.

My partner put this decal on the back of my car and I didn't notice for almost a week.

I'm no expert, but I just feed grow nutes until I see the first sign of flowering and then finish off whatever grow nutes I have made up and then switch to bloom nutes. I'm not a big auto grower. I've only grown a few and my only goal with them is to take up space that would otherwise be unused and get them to the finish line to see how they are. If I happen across a killer auto strain, I will probably look for a photo version of the same thing to work with and try to maximize yield and quality.

Technically the plant I'm running right now is the kind your talking about. It saw success as an auto and they released a photoperiod pheno of it. It's called Think Fast, and the Auto pheno was called Think Different both by Dutch Passion. I'm not sure if they're available anymore I got my seeds in 2018.

Right now the mom is about 2 months old, cut back twice to stay small. I'll be taking clones in about two weeks. She's the fastest flowering plant I've ever had, actually genuinely ready in 9 weeks flat and yields are very nice. First round got a lb out of 3 plants in a closet. Second I missed that mark by about 6 grams. Haven't run her since 2020, so looking forward to what she'll do next year.
