Newbie wants to experiment with auto vs reg/fem on 12/12

Leave a rating
Hey everyone I'm new to 420 great to be here I have been following the both the forums here and on -------- for many years not keen to partake out of fear/paranoia lmao what matters it that I'm here now :bravo:

So to start off I'm not sure if this is how to start a thread but I will give a go anyways hope someone can put me right if need be...

So my set up : 400w cool shade, .8x.8x1.6 tent not sure of brand had it so long can't remember she's done me proud though had a few rips and battle scars but I love her she will be a great mum home one day... 6" centrifugal 400 odd cfm fan with carbon filter exausting and 6" inline 200 cfm fan for cooling the light.. Not sure on the temp the tent is at as i have never worried plants don't seem to stress so haven't worried and its never overly warm in there

So a bit about my situation I have been a bag seed farmer for a few years now just growing what ever came my way generally sativas not many indicas around i have found but I just got out of my shell recently and have decided to risk it all and order some seeds wow to my amazement they actually arrived :cheer:
So I ordered some heavyweight fast and vast auto fem from herbies head shop reason for it before I get slandered for buying autos is I didn't think they would get to me so I got something cheap I was happy to find that they arrived and I also got some freebies

Brought: 5x heavyweight fast and vast

Free: 1x royals queen powerflower / feminized
Free: 2x Kerala x skunk #1 / regular

So that's what I have and I have been searching the net for a good indicator on what the regular seeds on 12/12 will do verse a auto on 12/12 I know people have opinions but I'm yet to see any visible results so and my bag seed girls are nearly finish not sure when I put them in reason for this is that with bagseed I have found that some finish early and some finish later so no point in recording when you put them in I don't believe.. I will put up some pictures in a few days I'm away at work at the moment

So what does everyone think of my experiment I want to conduct soon has any one done this before and just to clear it up what I'm going to do as I know I can ramble on sometime and not get to the point but I and going to put the heavyweight auto fast and vast up against the royals queen power flower and the Kerala x skunk #1
Under 12/12 from sprouting

Love too hear some opinions on this !!

I'm just into auto's , but found they do what they want. I put 1 on 12/12 and another 1 @18/6. 1 grew taller , but the other 1 was fatter buds (shorter).
U might get a few more replies if u start a journal. Lots of folk love to grow green and will share what they know :thumb:
Hope to see u post a journal or pictures , when u get a chance
Cheers

yes , It just jumped into flowering almost 2 weeks before I switched to 12/12 , so I left it .It did provide great smoke !:48:
I would do auto mini guns again .But still have no idea on how to train them , or even help them . They do what they are supposed to do, Grow without help :yummy:
Cheers

So it's the 21/2 and I have just layed my 4 seeds to bed I have gone with 3 fast and vast autos and one fem powerflower will let you know when they start to flower also the auto seeds seemed very different by looks one was a large seed almost double the others and two were small I will post a pic of the differance soon.. Will be interesting to see if they are different in the end have always thought that bigger seeds make bigger plant don't know how true that is though

Well hay everyone I'm back I haven't vanished and I have some good news
My 4 babies are about a month old and are small and stocky although the large seed auto fem seems to have grown 3 times the size of the other auto fems and the feminized power flower which is the smallest of them all but not by much

I will upload pics when someone can direct me how help would be great

So because I have one large girl and three around the same size I have chopped her down to size so the others don't stretch... Good idea or bad I'm not sure but I went with it anyway interesting how the large seed had the big plant though could be a coincidence but I will be keeping track of this behaviour a lot more from now...

So they are all happy and healthy and looking forward to the next 8 weeks to see how they progress looking at the fem power flower I am going to say I think she might perform the worst :( unfortunately but hey go the auto fems if that's the case
