This is why
Why do people use Autoflowers after their 1st grow?

-Plant count. In Canada we can only grow 4. So we don't need to worry about cloning and vegging plants messing up our plant count.Can someone explain to me NICELY ,why people beyond their 1st grow, which I'm assuming was package of Autoflowers, ever buy them again?
As anyone reading this knows, any worthwhile results, take some effort.
You can't change a timer from 18 to 12?
-Growing in a colder basement in Canada keeping the lights on 24/7 helps keep the plants nice and cozy.
-Easier to grow a variety of strains at any given time.
-Great for shorter outdoor grow seasons.
-Shorter turn around
-less space required with no addition of veg/clone area.

Because they sound easier. They’re cool but I prefer photos. You have so much more control. I put a couple autos in my veg tent that just took the whole damn thing over, had to switch to hps in it and buy another veg tent setup. Forgive the yellow leaves, I’d been neglecting them a bit but they’re recovering nicely with the bloom teas

That's the best reason I've seen posted on the forum.

I just can't get past the hustle of it. Outside of personal use and living where autos make sense, I'd feel like a mark if I had to buy seeds each and every time. But I'll drive miles out of the way to avoid a toll -- I hate fees (even if they're arguably beneficial).

that’s why you buy regular seeds and make your own f2s

You don't. You can make your own auto seeds?

Hmm. That's cool, that might be really cool.

Moving in that direction (just not autos yet)! Exclusively fem seeds until now -- wanted to learn fundamentals before sexing/more work.

Better yet, just reverse a branch on one of your females with Colloidal silver or STS and save all the fuss of dealing with males and a breeding project. Never pay for overpriced seeds again on your favorite strains !

Keeping the lights on for warmth is a great reason. I need to run a 2kw space heater in the winter during night cycles. That’s over 3 times more expensive to run compared towhat my DE CMH needs. With my LED I’d need about 4kw of heating lol
It was a big reason I didn’t do a photo run this year. Might do one after these autos finish up as I don’t have to spend so much heating the buggers during the night cycle.

Temp in my room outside of the tents... The vent from the furnace is closed, or else it would be 90 something in there! That SE5000, TSW2000 and FC-E3000 turned up to max helps...
