Looks good man. Excited to see what my first grow yields. Got 4 AK autos and a royal cheese auto. They'll be the only autos i do I think, was sent them 4 as a replacement and didn't realise then the cheese was a freebie.

Why's everyone so against them though? Is it just the fact that you can't control the veg and flower time and problems that go with not being able to control them?

Nah man its the fact their bred with ruderalis or however u spell it lol which leads to low potency and taste , and if u do find a really nice 1 youll never be able to keep it i suppose tjeyre good for keeping one in the veg tent or something but i woukdnt even bother ,

cant get stoned off autos can do time for them tho, kill all autos imo or go to auto section, most growers are very pissed off about autos, you may as well come on here and talk about knitting imo

my pals, doing mazar auto's just now under 1800w and reckoned last time he pulled near 11 oz from each one. reckons it's a no brainer if your nicking the leccy. I said he'd no brain if he was but I smoked the gear and it was definitely not shandy.

I done a few autos years ago and they wouldnt even flower until put under 12/12. About a year or so ago I tried another auto and had to pull it early and it wasn't too bad, would have been ok if given the full flowering time, rambo had a taster of that one and even he said it wernt too bad. I reckon there's some good to be found in autos but won't be trying mesel

its a bit like this with autos, compare it to a racehorse breeder with winners under his belt and known genetics that he knows will earn him, then a new racehorse breeder comes along and talks about how he has sired his prize mare with a donkey lol each to their own but its cheaper to grow photos and u can generally sell it too imo,

Autos are for outside.......its the only sense I see in them. I was actually thinking of doing some outside next year. But the piss poor strength of them makes me wonder if it's even worth it. Light dep is the way me thinks.

thing is every one is punting them at far less than stable imo, so the photoperiods are all over the shop. You might hit lucky but chances are you've got a strain that's going to take at least 2 weeks more than 9 start to finish so whats the point.
