putting some autoflowers in amongst normal plants ?

thinking of doing this to get some weed in the mean time and just for something to try really

only thing is could they polinate my females ? i would just be chucking them in the same tent so would be in 16/8 cycle then 12/12 would they still grow the same or would this slow them alot ?

they will and I have done this before where I had two autos and two photos. I kept the lights on 23-1 for the entirety of the autos (7-8 weeks), and let the photos veg out big time. Watch out though the photos will be massive by the time they're done - don't do this unless you have the space. They won't pollinate each other as long as you don't let a male grow in the mix or have a hermi. I've found decreasing light cycles on autos decreases yield. This at least in my experience.
 
well i have a 1.5m x 1.5 meter tent and only two plants in it i was thinking of putting the autos in the corners and rotating them each day to make sure they get their share of the 2x600w lights , would this be good enough ?

with 1200w of hid and only two photoperiod plants in your tent, yeah you'll be just fine man - go for it. I now exclusively grow autos some of my favs are

Short stuff - auto assassin and MI-5
Sweet Seeds - Sweet Caramel
Sagmantha - Smurfberry
Flash Seeds - Santa
 
yeh i want plenty of room and less plants to take care of , downside is if anything goes wrong i have less backup , i will google those strains and see whats the heaviest yeilder think i will just put them at the back corners and leave the front of my tent clear so i have plenty room to work and check things etc , first time growing so just trying to be careful :)

I grow Reg seeds on one of my strains. They are autoflowers. I get boys alot. I have never got one seed yet.

Boys are pretty fucking obvious in my option. Even if your a 1st time grower. But you need to look every day. They get them balls over night is seems.

I pulled over 60 grams off my smurfberry auto in 65 days - they're good yielders but the seeds are kinda pricey. All those I mentioned have the capacity to produce upwards of 2 oz, maybe more with a crazy phenotype. All will def do an oz in 50-70 days if treated right.
 
im constantly checking the tent must be about ten times a day lol , due to one of the two plants not handling the move into veg well i hope it recovers

thats a great result hoss if i got a good oz i would be happy enough with that anymore is just a bonus really
