@yooper rex, i always got autos my friend, im in the middle of producing my own big yielding auto strain, im at the stage now where my seeds are producing plants that hit 2 to 3 ft before harvest so im well on the way to getting that strain stable and producing well, i keep buying the odd auto seed as they grow quick and good to grow at the same time as plants in veg, autos dont need a light schedule to grow so can be grown and flowered under 24-0 or 12-12 or anything in between, but i find autos yield more when they get a dark period each day,
im also working on another auto strain, ken estes gdp cross purple cheese auto but got a way to go before i get this stable and still in the early stages of that but the big yielding auto ive been working on for a while now and results are now pretty good, if you want some good autos go to herbies head shop, scroll down the right hand side of page and click on pick n mix, this then lets you buy single seeds, then on the left hand side enter the price range your looking for and hit search then look through the list and see what you like the look and sound of, any problems give me a shout
@james i dropped you a pm mate
@beemer bill, its best to let autos grow as they are mate, anything that stunts growth for a day or 2 will affect yield, so topping or fim method will affect yield and stop growth for anything up to 10 days, so the only real thing you can do with autos is some very minor lst, i use lst just to pull the plant slightly over so it gets light at all the nodes, if the leaves are blocking the light then i wait till its finished stretching in flower then i remove the leaves blocking light as your not slowing growth then as its just the buds that are developing, i got an auto bubble growing which is suppose to be an auto version of the bubblegum strain
hope both james and yarrow are doing ok, all the best both,
peace
