I scrog (screen of green and bend them sideways) and I have had better results. More light gets to more of the plant. More bud.
I think a lot will depend on your set-up.
I've done several and Big Buddha's Automatic (Northern Lights x Bonkers) was great -- very sweet tart smell/taste and pleasant high.
Lowlife Ak-47 and Lowlife White Russian were nice too -- very potent.
I've done about a half dozen PC grows and your box is going to get small, really fast. I finally did SCROG and it worked really well.
If I were you, I'd do 12/12 from seed. Just pay attention to your pH and your temps. When your plant gets too close the the CFL, it'll burn it. You might...
I love 'em. I only grow for personal consumption, but I have had several friends tell me it is the best smoke they have ever encountered. I am sure the photos are better, but autos are waaaay better than anything I could find on the street.
I just chopped a Dinafem Roadrunner an hour ago, and had the same dang thing. I feel like an idiot b/c I didn't notice. It looked like all the fem plants I have grown before. I had a scrog in a PC case (about 6 inches tall, but growing about 18 inches sideways), so it was hard to see under...
I have found that indoor autos have a much better yield in hydro, but take a week or two longer to flower. But the yield is much better for hydro. I give mine up to 30 days from seed to flower, and I run 24/0 with lots of hydro nutes (hempy style). Don't panic unless you are 30 days from...
