Im growing doc greenthumbs Iranian autos in a test grow and Ive allready cloned this auto,it has no ruderalis and can be kept in veg for long periods of time to get huge autos.Ive had some in veg a while and have kept a mom to clone.These will eventually flower but they have been kept up to a year on 24/7 in veg under a blue spectrum..These seeds are pricey but for autos they are the bomb.Im an sativa and kush lover,Im just growing autos for the hell of it.I would not make them my mainstay unless I had only a small op.Mine now sometimes pushes 200 plants.........

This thread is confusing. I have never grown an autoflower but the way i see it an autoflower will bud based on it's age not the light cycle, that's all their is too it. Autoflowers can be good in specific circumstances like an outdoor grow so you can harvest earlier than rippers or cops will look for them or if you have very limited spaced and even then an autoflower isn't your only option. Autoflowers are known to be less potent than regular strains so I wouldn't grow them unless it was a necessity or a second crop or something. The autos don't seem to be that expensive especially when you can just breed them and make more auto seeds. I don't see what the big deal is.

Thanks man :D That was an error i made on the first go around. this was my first indoor grow... I go the auto flowers along with my purchase of other genetics to kind of fill the gap between seed and harvest. that had to be one of my better ideas ever :P Since then i've started a few clones and some other genetics in pots that are full of medium. I grow in Fox Farms Ocean forest / Pete moss mix, with the technoflora nutrient line. thanks for the tip man, I think that will help me also :) i look fwd to ordering another round of seeds and more autos :D
no worries mate im glad to be of assistance lol happy growing

Ok so i've heard that Auto Strains aren't high in THC. So if that's the case, what if i breed one say: Ak-48 x Arjan Haze. That should certainly increase the potency of the Auto Gene correct? I want the most powerful and potent "Autoflowering" strain. This could be the wave of the future, Cannabis is a difficult plant if you do not have the time; patience, and funds to support your grow.
Has anybody attempted to Cross strains with an Autoflowering strain??

There are different types of autoflower out there you really have to do some research. You will find that not all auto's are dwarf plants it all depends on how much ruderalis is in the genes, when you think of auto you think 70 -75 days from seed, well this isnt the case some auto's have the same lifespan as regular seeds but will autoflower only after around a month. EL DIABLO if im not mistaken only has the auto gene left in it and the rest of the ruderalis is bred out by constant inbreeding, these plants can easily reach 5ft and possibly more. Look them up im sure they are also a great alternative.

thats what i thought but its on their site plain as day. indoor 350g per sq meter and 350g per plant outdoor
The outdoor yields that seed company's give you are based on equatorial growing i believe. 350 per sq m is realistic indoors but it depends where you live in the world for outdoors.

look up dutchbreed seeds and the dogs bollocks seeds, they both have auto's that are pretty strong. TDBS has a super silver haze auto called long john silver and dutchbreed have a couple im trying there short term amnesia right now got the seeds 3 days ago. Also dutchbreeds masterlow is a master kush auto and its fucking lovely in my opinion lol. Really have a good search for what you want as breeding takes up A LOT of time,space and money

I don't want to live there, they'll be the 1st to die when this Global Warming takes full effect, they'll be runnin up here and leave all those weed plants right there to get burnt just like everything else that's near the equator. I hate to sound like that.
Its true tho
