I personally don't like autos . My first couple grows were autos and they always lacked in the smell and taste department . I know some people love them and they have their place but I wouldn't waste resources on plants that can be just ok at best . If you do happen to stumble across a great 1 that's all you get . Just 1

I think auto flowers have their place - they just don't work in my setup and how I'm used to doing things. I can see how they'd be an attractive option for a beginner grower.
If I had a small patch outside they'd be perfect for a low maintenance crop, but i live smack dab in the over populated concrete jungle so alas... 🤷♂️🤷♂️

A bonus for autos is low ppfd needs and to be able to even run the light 20-24hrs a day, more time on better for autos but less ppfd than non auto’s ( think of where they evolved ) plus since less ppfd less food to give . For a starter grower and just wants to be super simple , success gurateed for most part and u could easily make it only 1-4 top dressings for whole cycle and just water . I know if I never grew before and u could eliminate all the info required to grow it besides sprinkle a few times some organics , water em when dry and not much environmental adjustments . key is the autos want more light hrs on but not high ppfd
for me my outdoor zone is way too rainy for the time it would be useful , indoors I can easily turn plant to 12/12 hr cycle and control its flower cycle but also how big it is. just saying for someone who wants meds and doesn’t care about learning and wants as much sucess as can be maybe autos and using a simple dosage and 24/7 hr on with 500-750 ppfd np at peak.

They're really starting to stink now, been feeding low doses of Greenleaf's Sweet Candy. I'm just hoping they bulk up more in the coming weeks.

Thanks, I especially appreciate the feed back from a veteran grower like yourself.

I've been leaving the lights on 24/7 and will be until they're done. I like to move around the pots every day to ensure all the buds get even coverage. Still feeding Sweet Candy and will be until chop, I don't believe in the "science" of flushing.

I would of quit a long time ago if I wasn't! Haha
But yeah autos aren't bad, it was just a learning curve with me because I've always ran photo period strains.

Yup, the first three weeks are pretty uneventful haha, but that's the fun part as 80% of total growth etc, is all in those last four weeks or so. Thank you tremendously for the support my friend!!! Great job!!

Will do! I'm thinking they might go slightly over 80 days. I could probably harvest now if I wanted to I just prefer more prefer amber thrichs.

This time of year it's common to tack on a few extra days. Doesn't surprise me. Looks great man!!

Last time you'll see these babies, probably chopping later on. Was gonna let them go longer but I'm out of medicine and I need the tent space.
