    Need auto flower opinions

    I've never grown autos so I'm just looking for some opinions on the pros or cons vs photo plants. In my 3x3 tent would I be better to grow 2 autos or 2 photos. I'm all about yeild and potencey. One reason I like photos is because when I cut the lights back it saves electric cost vs leaving lights on 20+ for autos.

    In my opinion, photos yield more and take longer. Strain genetics is huge in building yield and potency.
    completed 7 grows
    what I have learned so far:
    environment maters more than nutrients
    at least a dab of nutrients in every watering
    effective flushing before harvest is critical to quality

      Autos are very potent..Very..yield is also good.. Two months or so from sprout..then done..can't beat it.. You can have two auto grows for your one photo grow. Shit it is worth a run of them anyway so you know for yourself.. Lots of good genetics out there as well..

            I recently pulled 20oz off 3 autos in a 2x4 under 600HPS in 71 days from seed. Dense buds and potent.

              Grown only autos on my first pheno now autos are very easy and can get a decent yield in about 4 months from seed depends on strain etc as usual I never trained any of my autos and grew in soil very basic equals about 2 oz per plant add some knowledge better than my own and seen a lot bigger enjoy and have fun

                Auto potency from top breeders (Mephisto) is as good as photos in my experience. With my latest perpetual set-up I'm aiming to produce 6-10 ozs a month every month from a 2x4 tent.

                On the electricity issue, light really equals yield, more hours of light gets you more bud, so while your electricity bill may increase your yield should also increase. If you want a break on electricity growing autos then you can run 18/6 or 20/4. I haven't seen any yield/watt figures that show photos are more efficient than autos.
                Sand, sea, sun, sausages, and sinsemilla.

                About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won't like you at all.
