I talked to Nis a while back about it....I think I was going to give them one more generation before I will sample it. Autos are tougher for me to justify with my set up. If I had two 4x4 tents I could just flower the auto in the veg tent.....but I am not set up for that, so I would have to flower the auto in my photo flower tent under 12/12 which I know wont be optimum....unless I want to pull it out of the flower tent and stick it on my work bench under the big T5 for an additional 6 hours and then move back when its done.....and I am far too lazy for that LOL. Easier to wait for them to work the auto out and then give it a try!!
Right I get that. If you were to get seeds of it in this generation you could always start in cups like you did and just start more than you need. When an auto gets rootbound it triggers flowering from what I understand so you could either flower it out in the cup or ditch it and any that do not start flowering you could grow out and find the best pheno. If you already have an in for the next generation than by all means wait for that.
The Triple OG was def out of my price range. if you got a free pack along with it that is a bonus for sure!
