Not sure about quality with a name like Fast Buds, or a seed knockoff of a lame strain.

What's the deal with autos being shilled online? Never seen anyone grow autoflower indoor other than these internet grow forums. Weird. It's windowbox/porch weed. I mean you've got a tent, I can see it. A timer is 10 bucks.

What’s lame to you might not be lame to others. Also you can pull over 4oz from an auto now days so you sound kinda behind the times talking about window box/porch weed. I’ve got a tent, I’ve got a timer...two actually and I grow photos but now I’m trying autos...shoot me lol

follow this grow and maybe we both will be converted into auto fans

Thank you. I’ve tiptoed around them for years I remember when they were actually crap. To see where breeders have taken them to what you can Achieve now is pretty cool. I think in the future we will have autos that produce the same if not more than photos. I think photos will become a thing of the past honestly.
Are you growing any right now? If so what strains?

Some autos get big. You just have to have the right set up. 5 gallon pots if you have enough light are a must. Drop it right in and water. No changing pots. I’m using 600w HPS and my light is 30” over the canopy.

Heres Northern Lights auto from ILGM after a light defol two days ago. Broke ground 4/25

You have a tent why grow auto's? Get the most potent variety you can find. If you want to use 3 gallon pots flower them at 6 inches tall. You will harvest super dank inside of 90 days. Guaranteed potency !

I personally started because being new I wanted a quick stash of bud and I can go through the entire grow process in 10-13 weeks. You can learn a lot quickly this way.

Give them lots of light, small amount of nutrients and a large pot of quality soil and you’re off!

June 1 I’m ordering the purple haze, purple kush, and Grand daddy purple. Photos. I’m moving up to the big leagues!

OP sorry to hijack your thread. The quality will come from genetics and a healthy plant IMO.

Nope, sorry but Autos will never replace photoperiod seeds EVER.

Unless you have a secret to keeping mother's alive with Autos?

Autos will never be as potent as photos. Quality = Photo

Autos are also finicky little cunts. Anything you mess up results in lowered yield. You can take a baseball bat to photos, give them time to recover, and they will be bigger and stronger than ever. The only reason I would ever grow an auto again is if i had extra space in a veg tent.

I have done plenty of testing with Fast buds. This was my last grow. Very healthy plants. Quality just isnt there. Phenotypes are all over the place. Just look at the two pineapple express.

I can understand people who grow some autos in a tent, to see how they grow and produce, but I also find it strange when some growers only grow autos indoors and don’t grow photos. They make a lot more sense to me for outdoor grows, though, particularly in areas that get too cold and damp before photos are ready for harvest. I’m trying some outdoors this year along with a couple of photos.
