Thanks, pinkus!

Personally comparing autos to photos is senseless. Any marijuana seed is a result of selective breeding these days. The high thc strains are mostly from selective breeding they didn't just grow like that thousands of years ago.

Autos have plenty of potency and yeild. They are different from photos and shouldn't even be compared to. Each have their own pros and cons. And anyone who has a lot of experience with autos will tell you they take a lot more skill and technique to master than any photo.

This is precisely why they should be compared.


Although you obviously haven't tried to grow any tropical plants indoors :/

Yes, there are potent ruderalis hybrids. They can be good, or even great for certain circumstances.

I'm going trot out an old horse: why not use acclimatized weedy hemp instead of ruderalis to speed up flowering? It gets HUGE, it finishes early enough to finish even in Canada. This isn't MY idea, it's Mel Frank's...actually I think some of the new autos may have some in there as a secret sauce sort of thing. Any of the BIG autos...seems like a possibility.

Ya'll can love on them all you want, and good on ya! ~ I will use photos

Weedy hemp is adapted to the latitude where it grows. Breeding to it really isn't any better than what breeders have done all along- select plants w/ shorter flowering times, breed them with potent varieties that have already been acclimatized. Re-invention of the wheel isn't required. They're still photo strains, even if some are semi-autoflowering, not requiring much shortening of the day length to start blooming.

Autoflower breeders set out to accomplish different goals, to create varieties entirely free of sensitivity to photoperiod with good potency that finish fast & don't get too big for balconies & backyard stealth grows. They'd probably work well for personal indoor continuous harvest grows, as well.

I'm growing this batch of autos for our occasional toker gardening friends who want to grow some but also want a stealth profile as well. The legalities around outdoor growing still aren't settled here in CO, so discretion remains the better part of valor.

that's my point. nature did the work. I believe I've heard mighty mite worked the weedy hemp direction.

You can't compare apples to oranges, but you can still grow apples and oranges.

Its not nature to line breed weed to high potency. Its not nature to cross pure strains of indica and satvia. Its not nature to improve the yield of the plant, So you cant use the logical fallacy of appeal to nature as its only nature when it suits you.
God forbid some medical users might prefer Rud to its higher CBD content. As for yield thats also BS i can pull 2-3oz a plant and fit 9 under a 600w hps thats 18-27 oz in soil in 70 days. last time i checked most photos were vegging for 2-3 weeks and flowering for 8 for that sort of yield.

Not if you manage to follow some simple instructions ^^

G`day Pinkus

The Scandinavians are way ahead of that .
They used Nepalese and Lebanese genes to create photo sensitive plants that will flower at 14 - 15 hours of light .

Last year I saw a bunch of people grow Short Term Amnesia . A Sat dom hybrid thats done in 100 days summer or Autumn .

Thanks for sharin

Ive no idea why people would grow autos under lights,
Also ive no idea why people drive these but they do https://www.3wheelers.com/robin.html
