New Grower fastest autos

[ninja1]

Been reading and it seems auto breeders are no different than photo breeders n I guess as a sales pitch promise amazing times. I was just wondering whats the quickest autos youve known? Ive got my cream caramels under the cfl for 2weeks and hoped to have em under the 600w for around 6weeks resulting in a 8week seed to weed. Ive read others taking longer but whats mostly affected the yield or type of stone?

I disergree mate Auto Breeders have created something very viable and Autos will soon dominate the canna world for commercial and social pleasures :dance:
As for the Time length ive grown out some strains that finesh in 60 days and 1 in 66 days most strains the longer you leave them the more yeild you get as autos tent to have there fattening up point in the last week or so of there life, So if you chop to early you could lose up to like 30% in yeild.. Obviously if you want a general head high then you will lose in yeild any ways, As the couch lock feel requires a little longer growing

That sounds about right for what I was gonna do for mine mate. 2weeks under the 250w cfl then 6 under my 600w hps.

Do you think soon autos will start to sell more than photo seeds? All I can see happening is strains getting quicker and quicker.

I wonder how long it is going to be before some geneticists and botanists get together and create some super fast genetically modified marijuana.

You can get some auto strains to finish faster by shortening the time you feed them veg nutes but you lose out on a lot of vertical growth and that results in reduced yields. They produce best when vegged for 5-6 weeks, then flowered for another 5-6 weeks. Personally I'd rather wait those extra couple of weeks to get 2 oz. off a plant as opposed to 1/2 or 3/4 of an oz. Yes, the advertised short times are somewhat of a sales pitch, but we're seeing more breeders recommending 10-11 weeks on their strains for optimum yields.

When you consider that autos have only been around about 5 years now, it's pretty amazing how far they have come in that relatively short period of time. IMO much more work is being done with autos compared to photos and their popularity is increasing all the time. In another 5 years or so I believe they will dominate the indoor growing market.

Oo well my cream caramel took 12weeks and could've gone another but i needed the space lol
Those can get quite large.

These recs are based on my fastest times....
Try Sweet - Fast Bud (mine took 64days)
Auto - Polar Express (65days)
SGS - Pink Salad (70days)
SS - Auto Assassin (75days)
Of course letting any auto run a week or 2 extra will allow for significant fattening up.

Would you say allowing an extra two weeks gives an extra 30% weight for the final yield? I hate waiting but my mum always says youve gone this long and I tend to forget about the grow type thing.

00seeds auto strain are fast under 60 days

my fastest chocolateskunk took 56 days the othe 58 and my autobubblegum im growing now will be about the same
sweetseeds blackjack was under 60 days too

I also guess as you cant take clones with autos each strain individual can differ
