2 questions - I have been reading about autos lately since I am only growing small qty for personal use and I have a good 3 month window to grow something indoors over the winter (long story).

Any advice on autos?? What are some good strains ( I have been reading Ok reviews about mi5) , but more importantly, which is the best company to order autos from??? I have been on a few sites, but the selection is minimal.

I just did a run of Nirvana Seeds Northern Lights autos, if you grow them in the proper manner that you would grow an auto, you will be happy, with some LST training they are nice and compact, grow 3-4 of them and you will have a good yield, good smoke, and turn the scrap into hash. I think you will be satisfied, the smoke i got was damn good.
google nirvana seed bank or Attitude seed bank..Attitude has several autoflower strains you can choose from, just use the seed finder there

I don't think I'd ever order seeds from anywhere other than the Attitude. Expect maybe Nirvana if for some reason I wanted to try one of their strains.

I grew an auto called Pandora from Paradise seeds and loved it. Pulled over an oz per plant, which isn't bad for an auto outdoors. 10-11 weeks from seed to finish. The growth rate on them were incredible. Potent smoke with a nice taste. The odor wasn't all that bad either if you are growing indoors and that's a concern. Honestly though, if you have a 3 month grow window you can try just growing normal photoperiod plants. If you pick a strain that finishes in 8 weeks you can veg for 3-4 weeks then just flip to 12/12. Probably yield a lot more than with autos and save a little money since auto seeds are pretty expensive. I'm still not really sure why people grow autos indoors to begin with.

Attitude is actually running a promotion this weekend if you spend over 20£ they throw in 3 free G13 seeds. One of which is an autoflower. Use the code 420 for 10% off.

These are the most recent pictures I took. Probably about 2-3 weeks before I harvested They really swelled up in the last week or two before I harvested. You can see in the background how they dwarf the other autos I was growing.

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 been doing alot of reading and everyone is telling me why would anyone waste time growing autos indoors that if you just by normal seed strains that flower in 8 weeks, veg for 3 weeks and fliup to flowering and the yields are much greater. I was hooked on ordering autos, but that kinda makes sense...Dont know what to do now, My question is instead of sitting here for an hr looking through attitudes site again, If you were to choose a reg fast flowering strain, what would you go with?????? I have a 4x4x6 grow box with 10 23 watt CFLs 6500k's and 10 40 watt CFLs 2700k's for flowering, going with fox farm nutes and jungle mix soil from lowes​

Ok, since i started growing auto's last year the best that i've grown were Barney's farm- Pineapple express autoflower (warning- very susceptible to mold, bad outdoors) and it gives about 2 ounces per plant outdoors, another good autoflower is dinafem's Fruit autoflower, smells like grapefruit and skunk. worst auto ive seen was dinafem's freebies 2nd grade haze autoflower, but they dont actually sell them so its not like they sell crappy gear. anything from short stuff seeds is good, id have to say the best auto's on the market are from short stuff. their onyx, russian rocket fuel and Mi5 have gotten a cult following in the autoflowering youtube channels ive seen.
