Just a Quick Question from Auto Fowering Growers

[Randm]

I've never grown an auto flowering strain befor, however it does look like one could do quite well with the shortened overall grow time. So I have looked into it a little, as anything that speeds up the proccess and yeild would be a help.
So my question is this: How does the auto flowering varieties stand up to the non- auto flowering strains when it comes to the Quality of the smoke? I've grown Indicas, sativas and hybrids with very good results and good quality smoke, can I get that same quality from an auto grow??????

Pretty damn close...

agreed, you wont have as much variety, so, basically it will be close to the crazy medi shit. My diesel ryder stinks up my whole garage and its only 10'' tall. real small ha. some will give you a way bigger yield tho lol. but if you will avg between half and a whole o id say. great for newbs...

i've heard a grower saying that noone has ever complained about his auto weed, or even noticed... it is ment to be a little weaker then most photoperiod strains (on paper).... but any plant grown properly and harvested at the right time would be better then most of the damp shwag bags available on the street, imo

I def agree man. there are some top knotch strains that can't be beat, like always. but for the most part the autos are pretty awesome. I think poor strains are usually just bad phenos with the autos I would say.

So what auto flowering strains are the 'best' for quality and quantity? I currently grow primarily indicas, and indica/sativa hybrids ( White Rhino, THC-Bomb, ICE.... Is there anything in the auto flower lineup that compares to these strains??? Or is this trying to compare apples and oranges?

 

[anotherdaymusic]

yeah man diesels, blueberry, g13, afgan kush... theres good ones out there for sure. go to attitude seeds and search through the auto flowers. they show almost all thc content on them as well..

 

[Scyntra]

there are many quality autos out now... I grow both auto and 12/12 unless I tell you what it is you would not know...just more good dank...different smells, taste, ect from every different strain be it 12/12 or auto, but no one has ever ask was that a auto flower..lol...

my northern light auto sent me to the moon, everyone else loved the pineapple express.

my afgan kush can get produce up to 22% thc... thats def almost as potent as bud gets..

 

[fishbud]

All above is true but if you are looking for quality and quanity I feel Nirvana NL has been the best for me. Short stuff MI5 and Onyx have been good also. But most of all I have learned to plant in the container I'm going to grow in NO TRANSPLANTING. I use 5gals with 707 soil and very often produce plants over 60+ grams.Also almost all hate nutes as much as transplanting so less is more. Plant and enjoy !

 

[anotherdaymusic]

yeah what this dude above me said about the nutes too, i give mine like 1/4 strength and thats my full strength... i only actually give them nutes about 4 times in its life maybe 6 tops. I love them.

thats pretty cool... might look into that one.... i do like the look of GWS auto .... but heard folks moaning about it taking much longer then suggested to flower (might just be poor care) but that sort of talk puts people off

 

[anotherdaymusic]

yeah I just barely started my afgan, I def want to cross it with something..Ive got very high hopes for it... possibly the diesel that will be finished in 2 1/2 weeks...mmm that would be a tasty prized combo..

 

[troutie]

2 1/2 weeks .... thats cheered me up ...... i got best part of 5

 

[anotherdaymusic]

the diesel is a really short flowerer....haha if that word is even right... yeah ive got 6ish on my normal ladies, theyve been growing for like 3 months lol

LOL .... don't think you'd get much in scrabble for that word ..... yeah Green O's are 55-60 days from seed ... looking forward to my next grow already... well impressed with this one and cant wait for mid december

 

[anotherdaymusic]

same here, I love what I have right now. great choices!

Another question about auto's: Can one reliably propogate them by letting a male polinate a female and get just as good of a quality as the originals? Or do they tend to go downhill as some crossbreads do?

as long as you cross auto with auto yes you can propigate reliably, and find your favorite traits (phenos) ..
