bulk autos

TonightYou said:

That's so true. I have never had a problem passing down poor quality ganja. I'd rather just pass and wait. I know an acquaintance who grows autos in a tent, only has enough for himself as they are low yielding. I don't think anyone in my market would buy autos willingly.

I'd be interested to know how running a photo fem 12/12 from se-ed would compare to an auto after 10-12 weeks. One guy was doing Blood Orange on the Bodhi thread, but he's been MIA for awhile. I have little doubt the quality would be far better, if not the quantity.

I didn't want to read this whole thread so if it's been mentioned ,sorry ,..herbies has bulk seeds..

There are, in fact, people who prefer quantity over quality - more harvests per year. My guess is that as soon as your customers are able to find a connection to good herb, your business as well as reputation will be in the sh!tter.

The whole yield thing is bullshit anyway.

All these folks here are "pureist" who refuse to believe an auto can give quality smoke. Never mind them, and it's not like you can't grow both anyway. At least you won't be smoking dirt, and if you are in a scarce area with only kids, many autos are WAY more potent than handled more..

Auto is for the dirt devils, don't try to sweep it under the rug bro. That is just plain bad manners to let someone go along with a bad idea.

I've grown autos. Not impressive (latest/greatest varieties as well) for me.

some people always hating on those trying to make extra cash with extra space.

Because you can't get quality smoke, at least not from what I've grown, tried, and seen. Creating autos isn't anything close to breeding, as the only trait being locked down is the recessive auto flower trait, as the plant becomes more in breed, locking down other auto traits, ie having no potency. Ya can't even clone an auto even if it was that one in whatever to keep around assuming it was worthy of keeping around.

But keep kidding yourself. Self delusion and all that

I'm not a 'pureist' at all; I'd torch up half a J of what you consider to be killer 'auto' - your call. If it were good, I'd say so, and probably drop some on the back deck in a month. But having raised and sampled a dozen 'name brand' autos [ Dinafem, DNA, Big Buddha etc], I've concluded that they suck, IME. I let others sample them ...just gave 'em away. No one - not one person - wanted seconds. I've got 4 more auto beans - freebies, of course, that I won't bother with.

But if you love them, n/p. Probably means you won't be among those grabbing limited available packs of the good sh!t [aka photos ].

There's a big differenece in someone providing quality product and someone who doesn't even care about what strain of bulk autos he gets to peddle imo.

Both autos I waste my time and resources on were useless. I couldn't GIVE it away, the measly 18 grams went to the hash pile. Gave me that headache high reminiscent of some terrible schwag from back in the day. Yield from both was depressing, one had some decent bag appeal, but like low mids. Bud formation was lacking and stringy on the one.

Honest question to those pimping autos? Have you ever grow good photo plants? Are you really wasting resources growing these indoors instead of solid genetics? Have you ever had top notch, grade A smoke?

ETA I'm a purist in the sense I want good ganja, not a fucking hemp auto from Russia bred into my plants. If that makes me a snob, wanting good cannabis, then a snob I am. I make no apologies to wanting excellent cannabis.

Elitism at its worse. You must be living in a ganja heaven if you couldn't "give away" auto flowers. All three autos I've ever smoked were damned good. Headache? WTF are you smoking pipe resin?

Woh are we back in 2004? Where elitism/elitist was the buzz word of the day? J/K I just find that word hilarious after d-bags making millions of dollars start throwing it around, it lost all meaning in North America.

I would call him a realist, at least based on his experience. People have had a lot of bad experience with Photoperiod plants, but the majority of the population has had success, this is not the same with auto's I feel. I feel it's the opposite some people who had a bad experience growing photoperiod plants for what ever reason find growing autos better. Good for them, they are not better genetics.

The fact of the matter is auto's are of lower potency and they cost more money to grow to get optimum yield. I stand by my opinion that autos MAY finish 1-2 weeks sooner then a 12/12 from seed plant on a fast flowering strain. Folks say Green Crack finishes flowering in as little as 50 days, I would much rather have a strain crossed with something like that to make it bloom faster then ruderalis.

Everyone has different tolerances too, people with access to high quality cannabis all the time are going to find auto's garbage because they are of lesser potency. Where as someone from the midwest without access to medical will have a lower tolerance and find auto's more acceptable. That's just a random guess.

I don't like auto's I think they are a waste of time, you don't see very many folks from Cali or the other Med/legal areas growing auto's.

My biggest thing now a days is you can't clone them, so if you find that one good one what's the point? Really what's the point...You got 1 good plant out of a 10 pack and it's gone, not to be seen again unless you get lucky in another pack or you make your own seeds and get lucky.

Everything I have ran that has been good I have cloned and ran again and it's been better.

Yea kinda like resin headache, but no I'm a joint person.

And yes, when one is flooded with good ganja, and has a steady flow of great flowers, people do get picky. Ya think I wanna hit anyone's Schwag when I'm surrounded by good bud? Nope I'll pass. No problem being a snob. I'm snobbish with my beers too

You know how many women say about men: 'they'll fkkk anybody that spreads her legs' ?. In some cases, they are right - but those men aren't fkkking babes with any frequency if at all.

I figure it's the same w/ people that grow and smoke 'autos'. If they had better, they wouldn't bother w/ the skanks.

ahahahahaha, that is a great analogy Amos Otis.
I really do wonder if these poor bastards defending autos have had good ganja. Notice how Defender of the Autos ignored my questioning.

I also think the auto lovers may think managing a 12/12 light schedule is hard. It isn't and if there a will, there is a way to get the lighting done right.

Every bean is a mystery, part of the reason I love popping them. Sure some are a let down, but you move on, become a bit better, and grow something new. I know some people love the clone chase, I'd rather find my own special lady, who's pedigree I have a bit of information on.

Some people like bud light (I won't drink it, even if it's the last thing in a cooler), other enjoy actual beer, not rice water alcohol, such as myself, enjoying the many microbreweries that put out actual beer, such as my beloved Hopslam. I honestly have never minded being called a snob. I call it having refined taste.

I don't think ALL Auto's can be crap or a waste of time...otherwise they wouldn't keep breeding em because none would be selling...I mean its a bit like 0898 No's and peeps that say Nobody rings them Chatlines...somebody must...because they still in business!!

Each to their own, some have space for Autos in tha Garden some don't...sounds like a debate over Marmite...Love IT or Hate IT...

Peace...even to you Auto Haters....

I guess it's like Intel vs AMD, autos are good on their own vs handled stuff just not as good as some heady 200 day flowering stuff.

i mean its not going to be top shelf stuff but some people cant afford the good stuff and actually want mids or reggie stuff at times. i have extra space in my veg room so ive decided to start running a small aeroponic system recently in there for fun and for extra profit.

Ahhhhh....now I see. They can't afford top shelf, so cater to their bottom shelf demands?
