Autoflowers and why?

[Ganjier]

I have been around long enough to when autoflowers were a new thing. Seems like even experienced growers are getting on board. What are the pros and cons of growing autos indoors? You use might light consumption running them 18/6 throughout. But I guess you can have all of your plants in different stages in the same grow tent. November 16th 2022 I started my current grow. It has been 140 days/ 20 weeks. i could have harvested 2 auto grows and started my third by now. What else is the hype about?

For me, this is what it is and...

With the hybrid breeding, you can grow a monster auto in a large enough planter.

My last Zkittlez auto gave me 4 zips dry in 96 days. That's total grow compared to flowering time.

I have no cons to add, except MAYBE that a photo can be vegged longer to produce more buds.

How many auto grows have you grown, and what strains/breeding companies?

Zkittlez and Knows Candy. I grew two Zkittlez... One in my SIP and one in a fabric pot. I fkd up the fabric pot one, but still got 3 lids. The Knows Candy didnt do so well, but it was my fault (I suck at top watering systems lol). Both were from 420 fast buds.

I have my last Zkittlez in dirt now. Planning on experimenting with topping it. Will see how it goes

18/6 for autos? I usually put mine in the flower room at 12/12.

I use 20/4 on my Autos if I'm growing inside.
My Zkittles Auto did great outside though. I love growing Autos.

I was thinking of sticking an auto or two outside this year.

I am growing green crack from Mephisto.
I will know in 29 days looks nice with nice color

I would say if you are growing for your own head and family Autos are a good way to do it if you are pulling 4 zips in 90 plus days
You can get 4 harvests in where I get only 2 in Photos, I like to Veg them a bit.
May try autos again this time inside as opposed to outdoors where I can give them 20hrs light 4 off

This thread is making me want to run a bunch of autos next. I have a bag full of GDP auto seeds. I could probably get 16 of them in the 4X4 tent, and they would be complete before I went on vacation in June.

I like them for one tent i have a 20" x 36" x 51" with a 180 electric sky.
The autos are not tall and great for the tent .
