This is my second year trying autoflowers. I grow outdoors and was away in May / June, so couldn't do my regular photo-period (which are indoors for me during those early months and require some special care).
I have grown 3 Jack Herer autos and 3 Critical + autos from Seedsman. Each plant was its own story - some strange phenotypes. I checked in with seedsman - they have very good customer support. The customer support manager, Chris, wrote to say this:
Most cannabis will produce different phenotype expressions. This can happen from time to time especially with the more hybrid-leaning strain varieties.
This is less likely if choosing long bred genetics such as White Widow, Northern Lights, Blueberry, etc. The newer F2's will tend to produce greater varience as these are new genetics being combined. Anything that is a F4 or BX3 etc, will be more stable as it has been bred back to the original parent genetics to stabilize it. The same with any backcrosses which are the BX strains.
My question: are other seed companies better at providing seeds that are more robust? I only got one higher yielding plant from each of these three seed strains. And some of the others are not just small but weird.
Like this Jack Herer autoflower that has no leaves with more than three fingers!
