Dont blame autos for not being dense. I personally, and dont take this as an offense (more like constructive criticism), dont think youre grow style/techniques are not conducive to bringing autos to their full potential. Heres a pic of some indoor grown green crack cbd (auto) I chopped off a plant to guage the trichomes to know when to harvest. This is from the lower part of the plant. Im using LED to grow.

You can see some nanners starting to develop. That is because my friend likes there to be more amber than cloudy because of the pain relief for his chronic back pain. So I let these go past their chop date. Dense? Can you see through the buds? Im sorry my friend but Im defending autos. You must be doing something to get fluffy buds. If you dont have fluffy photos then I presume you are stressing your autos too much. Contrary to popular belief that autos can handle stress, well thanks to so much breeding I believe that trait of the ruderalis has been eliminated. Autos are not for beginners, Ive seen it too many times. Peace.
Maybe? My gut thinks the story is much more complicated. Humanrob's garden looks healthy. We're not talking indoor autobuds here. We are looking at fluffy early season outdoor auto plants. Maybe, it's the fact that they finnished near summer solstice, and not in a waning sun of later summer?Could be.
Or maybe we should not lump all strains of autos together either. I feel some gotta be better than others outdoors, just like photoperiod strains.
Me, I think autos have great potential outdoors, but the industry has much to learn, also the laws which are based on plant count, really inhibit the potential popularity of autos outdoors.
Maybe the trend will be super autos, bred for outdoor production. Many of us have no need for stealth, but can't have flowering so late in fall. The risk of mold is just too great. Gotta flower and finish up by no later than September 15, some years the end of August, for a lower risk of mold.
Sounds like a good breeder project..
