I'd encourage you to try the autos for sure. I think they are super if they flourish, and if they are runts, they can be happy doing their own thing while you grow more plants. Yield can be good. I don't think that breeder pack estimates are very accurate when it comes to timing in my experience. They suggest a quicker turnover than is usual I have found. I will get 3 grows in between June '23 and Feb '24, so that is about a 4 month cycle for each grow.
I just have to get my head around the idea of spending money on seeds I can't clone and are a one use item .
I hear you. You don't want to lose money and it is a gamble to get them through Customs. However, the benefits outweigh the risks imo.I just have to get my head around the idea of spending money on seeds I can't clone and are a one use item .
I think (Thanks Mel!) you’d get 25% Fem 50% Reg and 25% Auto
Big barrier for entry for me, too. Breeding and cloning are part of the fun!I just have to get my head around the idea of spending money on seeds I can't clone and are a one use item .
I know right, it just feels like waist
That would be the f2 generation, the f1 of an auto and a photo are 100% photo, unless the photo has some auto in its background.
I've grown a couple of those. They're a bit hit or miss in my experience. Both produced well, and the bud was good, but both started flowering later than the straight photos, and they took about as long as them in the end.
I feel the same way about Auto’s and the only two I grew were Pygmy plants. But I also have seen some members who grow incredible plants. CLI just have to get my head around the idea of spending money on seeds I can't clone and are a one use item .

Hi Lady Cannafan, thank you very much for taking the time to read my journal. I appreciate that enormously. Thank you too for the love re my plants!Looking good in here Carmen! I've been through every page, some interesting conversations for sure. Love those plants, and they appear to be loving you.
Blueberry auto was a goner before it was planted I reckon. Sadly, no life has emerged from the soil in that pot.
I did not expect to find such a beautiful, fresh and elegant plant in the house! Most see them in the tent.Red Russian XXL auto 1 had a big growth spurt overnight and has more or less filled the pot.
Red Russian XXL auto 2 has no space between bud sites, and two apical branches that will not bend to a training hook. It's going to be interesting to see this one flower. I had a similar situation with the last one I grew as a quad.
My tabletop grow. I have plenty of space to start the Canuk grow. I must just decide when is going to be the best time for that. I reckon I can grow them for a month before they will need the main lights, so I must work backwards from expected harvest date for RR2 by about a month.
Build another house for RR2.lolIt's just past 4.20 and I've had a few bowls already. I can't sleep so here I am
I thought RR1 was getting taller but it's an illusion. I got out the tape measure and the distance from soil to tip of tallest leaf is 11 inches / 28 cm, when yesterday I measured it as 11.5 inches. Now it can't have got shorter so it must be that the soil shifted when I watered. Anyway, the point is the plant is no taller, but it is flourishing.
Here it is
and here is RR2
I keep looking at RR2 thinking I wish I had the heart to cull it. Honestly, the cost of the running the light to flower this plant is ludicrous. I am considering my options. I could start a single Canuk seed now and when this grow is coming to an end, start 2 more. Or, I could cull this plant and start my Canuk grow now. It's an utter waste of electricity I feel. Outside it would just be a bug magnet and raise security and privacy concerns. Decisions, decisions. Suggestions?
I almost thought she'd blossomed like the pink flowersI will always remember @Scientific's patio grow from 2017:
His upstairs neighbor looked right down on his plants and never knew what they were!
Haha, both RR1 & RR2 are happy.My RR2 agrees that out in the sun is a great place to be. Look how her leaves are reaching up to the sky now. They were clawed and downward facing inside the house. I'm almost tempted to get some more plants outside now
And look how happy my RR1 is under the @ViparSpectra XS 1500 pro, also praying to the source. She is stretching visibly each day.
Maybe I can add to the Canuk grow and compare outdoor and tabletop, since nobody else has selected to grow the Northern Lights x Big Bud autos
Thank you very much Val. There is lovely new growth each day as the plant stretches. I'm thoroughly enjoying this grow, without the complications of the swick or the hot soil I used previously.

They are and that makes me happy
Nice vids though I do miss the South Efrican accent.
