    About topping auto

    For over two decades, I've topped almost every plant, auto and photo, just to control the canopy. I prefer multiple colas rather than one big one of those not topped. When tended properly, I've seen very little difference, if any, in yeilds.

    Thoughts on the pros and cons of letting a crop run longer than usual?

    The more amber is best for those with neurological problems.

    Seed germination

    It's the "done right" that seems to vary a lot.

    Seed germination

    For what it's worth, my germ technique has not changed for over 2 decades. I simply plant a seed in moistened medium they are gonna grow in and smoke a joint or two. 100% germ without soaking, paper towels or fertility chants. It's simple and Rocket science is not needed.

    Anyone find autos a waste of time?

    Growing autos along with photos for 2 decades+, perpetually, I've seen autos with most genetic variables; some breeders have certainly done autos quite well. Personally I like the timing part of autos along with the quality of the bud. Not once in 20 years, has anyone asked if my weed is photo...

    Is Rocbudinc still a thing?

    Rocbudinc is having a drop in the near future...I figure for 420.....

    1st time growing autos. Almost finished

    They appear to be around 60 days from seed but look good even with your reported problems. A lot of auto growers would be proud.

    What was your longest Auto Veg Time?

    After 20 yrs growing autos, I've yet to set a time when veg is done.....that being said, most of mine have flowered at about 3 weeks. Very few exceptions, if any.

    Keep 18/6 or 12/12 cycle

    Easy, pesy.....I always run photos with my autos just for shits and grin........never a prob....if ya think you'll miss a gram or two, just add another plant.

    Keep 18/6 or 12/12 cycle

    12/12 is fine as long as dli/ppfd is in a reasonable spec. The law of 'diminishing returns' becomes apparent with increased lighting schedules. May fly in the face of those who run 18/6 or 24/0 for autoflowers but I for one, must weigh costs of energy to get a few more grams. Having run 12/12...

    zKittles Auto harvest.

    That's a lot of foliage. Poor genetics, poor feeding, poor lighting would be my guess. The bud that is there is gonna take a lot of trimming.

    Brother Mendels.

    fridge seeds

    My 2 cents....Since I've stored all seeds in my fridge for the past 20 years and get 100% germ, sometimes with 5 yr old seeds, I'd have to think their may be an advantage to storing that way.

    Brother Mendel

    Recently, I've included some Bother Mendel autos and photos into my perpetual grows and will have to say, I'm impressed with BM genetics. I've had a couple rounds of Jedi Mind Tricks Autos, and some BM Tropic Of Censer R2 photos. Both have impressed me with their vigor and results. There's not...

    Is Rocbudinc still a thing?

    No. Ran some Tastebudz Vanilla frosting Auto though. Was a pretty good alternative.

    Is Rocbudinc still a thing?

    Yes, ran some a couple grows ago. Don't remember it being much different from other Roc strains as a lot of his share similar genetics.

    Is Rocbudinc still a thing?

    Terpy seeds has a few rocbud strains along with multiverse. Personally I always got rocbud from rocbud but he's now releasing strains through various other banks. IMO, Rocbudinc are top shelf autos. Most of my grows have been mostly Roc strains for the past few years. Worth it.

    Multiverse Seedbank - First Time with Them

    MV has been my go to recently....last order got the Atlas FBTF and it's become the best of the last run. The top foot of growth is all fruit, solid.

    Another lighting question

    40-50 watts per sq ft will be a good # to go by. Upgrade till you get it. I run 600w total of mixed led boards in a 3x4. The only thing better than horsepower is more horsepower.
