Outdoor Autos in ground - Quadline?

[greenjeans]

Hey all - just looking for some opinions....I am going to be putting a couple of Super Lemon Haze autos outdoors in the ground - full sun from 9 - 6 and was wondering if there was any point to doing them in a quad or just let them grow natural. They will be under glass cover.
Waddaya think??

@ greenjeans , great seeing you again and info on your newest grow.
I can't be too much help on this one, though I intend to keep lurking to see some of the opinions from other growers here at 420.
Just today I've started germinating four auto's; Zkittlez, Wedding Cheesecake, Northern Lights and Pink Kush.
My intent is to grow them in 2.5 gal fabric pots and home-made soil. I don't know a lot about auto's and If I'm not mistaken they require about half the feed as photoperiod strains.
My setup is to take them out from under cover in the mornings and let them be exposed to the sun all day, and in the evenings I take them back under cover and let a fan circulate on them all night. Then I start over the next day.
Anyway, good luck on your grow and I'll be lurking.

I'm about in the same stage as you with some gelato auto in jersey

I'm tempted to plant an auto - or two - outside. Only thing is, they'd have to go into "deep cover" woods/brush, and wouldn't receive much light. IDK whether it would even be worth it, especially with them being autoflowering plants. We have a lot of snakes and ticks around here. The snakes don't really bother me (just ignore them - respectfully ), but Lyme disease sucks, and I've heard that Rocky Mountain spotted fever has made it to my area in recent years, so ticks "bug" the sh!t out of me.

Plus, no prior site preparation, and - this time of year - humping in supplies and water = blazing an obvious trail. I now have some seeds that will probably sprout, some of them, but I didn't earlier in the year, and didn't expect to receive any, so I failed to plan.

Still... They're calling to me, LOL.

But I'll probably live vicariously via you guys. Thank you for sharing!

A quad will give you more similarly weighted buds, while au naturale would give preference to the terminal node.

Some training and topping generally means more weight and less larf.

So I vote for a quad!

Good luck with grow. I'll be tagging along.

The gals went into the ground yesterday and sulked for a few hours but were perked up this morning....I may quad one and let the other go natural....maybe...
