Looking for 3 different autoflower strains with similar growth properties

[TegridyGrower]

Until now, every grow round, I grew multiple plants of one strain. So my possibilities to choose something to smoke are always very limited. Therefore, for my next round, I'd like t grow 3 different autoflower strains that produce different highs, but grow similar. So they go from seed to harvest in about the same time and they'll be roughly the same size. I grow indoor under LED, coco/perlite is my medium and the tent 2 by 4 ft. As I use the grow tent also to dry the harvest, it is necessary that I harvest all 3 plants at once.

Which strains would you recommend?

That's quite hard to accomplish being so precise, even three seeds the same strain out of the same packet can result in three different plants, all capable of finishing at different times.

The best thing to try to match up is indica or sativa dominant autos, try to have all plants either indica or sativa, that way they have a better chance of being ready at similar times.

Thanks, Listermeghead, indeed having to harvest all at once has always been a challenge, even with all plants being from the same strain. Normally, I try to pick a moment where the 'harvest window' is open for all plants. So if I can find 3 autoflowers that all have a 2 week harvest window with a lot of overlap, I think it should be possible.

Also agree on not mixing indica and sativa strains. Thinking about it, i think it might be smart to choose 3 strains from one breeder. That way it is more likely that similar proporties as presented by the breeder actually turnout to be similar in practice.

Anyway, i was hoping somebody had done something similar or knows a couple of strains that fit the similarity requirement

Yeah as @Listersmeghead said that'll be pretty tricky. I'd do a search on hybrids and filter, either indica or sativa leaning, height and flower time. @Dope-Seeds.com is a good one. The search should narrow down a few varieties for you and then read through the characteristics and pick ones fairly similar.

Yeah, I took my lazy ass off the couch and started comparing strains

I came up with this line-up as a starting point, all strains from Fast Buds:

• Girl Scout Cookies Auto;
• Blackberry Auto;
• Zkittlez Auto.

According to the breeder information, they all need 8-9 weeks from seed to harvest (which I guess will be more likely like 10 weeks) and they all get around 1 meter. Here's the breeder info:

Autos that I like include:

• Dark Devil
• Northern Lights
• Jack Herer

Look like good choices. Go for it I say. What's the worst that could happen?

Build a drying chamber/box. Might make life easier and you could run perpetual autos!!
