New Grower Best autos for 12/12?

[Mr Piggy]

Unfortunately this isn't the case. An autoflower will begin to flower after 30 - 50 days of vegetative growth. You cannot extend vegetative growth, so any issues experienced during it will reduce yield. Research must also be done into the age of the autoflower strain, as many strains still available today use older genetics that flower rather quickly. This results in small plants with small yields. The new autoflower strains are much more impressive, but they still have a notable loss of potency. Unless I have not completely done my research, then you should always do photoperiod if you can control the light schedule.

A lot of your info is a bit out dated. At one point that was right but now we know we can extend the vege period by feeding grow nutes for longer. Not indefinitely, but a little longer. Many of the strains out now do not use older rudi genetics, they get their flowering traits from early flowering sativas and other plants that have had the trait worked out. Their potency is on par with photo period plants, not deficient.

Autos have come along way in the last year and change more by the month! now that your seeing alot more legalization here in the states i bet you see alot more autos to add to the great collection! You Know us Americans dont like to wait for Sh*t i would not be surprised if someone here tries to get autos to the point they actually rival there photo counter parts because we all see here that they are REALLY close wont be long before there is just .5 or 1% potency difference! in the last 3 years autos are not even close to what they where, they have evolved that fast and it took photos decades to get where they are now i think autos are the future of choice for growers!
