Having grown autos for several years now, I've seen a bunch of breeders get on the band wagon and growers get a bad taste in their mouth when they don't do as expected. I have my favored auto strains and am always trying something new in an effort to get another fav.....
But, I will say, when I get an auto that doesn't auto in 3-4 weeks, I throw it on 12/12....why the fuck wait ???? If it gives me some decent potency, I may grow it again...if it goes on and on and on...I just figure I got shafted by a breeder....that's why I stick to "well known" auto breeders. There's some good ones out there but so many judge autos by the lame standards set by some breeders that have a quik buck in mind instead of adding a quality strain.
