    I'm photo should I convert to auto ?

    I'm looking to balance my next grow with half & half but I'm not too knowledgeable when it come to autos. Grew just 2 strains (freebies) a couple of WW and NL. Is Fast Bud a good place to look at ?

    The reason is simple: I like growing dominant Sativa girls but it takes forever..! So mixing the two will be great, harvesting the autos while the sativa are still growing non I'm looking for a good yielder and high in THC auto. I'm open to any suggestions.



    Cheers,

    Here are a couple hand-fulls of good auto breeders.
    I have not grown Autos along side Photos but if you start the autos 1st and then throw in some photos when the autos are well into flower the light schedule should work for both.
    My best yielder with real high THC has been a Bruce Banger auto(very powerful) from Seedsman and several Mephisto strains like 3BearOG, Walter White (both strong and good yields), and Berry Bomb (high yielder)from Bomb seeds.

      Timing is the most important when i do this. Once again i misjudged this grow of mine with timing autos and switching to 12/12 on the photos. My autos are only 3wks into flower i slowed them down prior to the flip so they are going to yield less. Yep these photos are not for the impatient new growers. Autos less than 90days to harvest most i grow, but you sativa lovers i think could go weeks longer. I like Barney's

        SoOrbudgal So let say I decide with the half & half. Should I start the autos like 6wks before seedling the photos ? Most of my sativa are 11-14wks in flowering. I even have indicas that went more than 9wks lolll

      They say 20/4 is better for autos when it comes to yield. Is it true ?

        I've never done that 20/4 just 18/6. I would do the autos 6wks prior to photos. And even stagger those autos like Canuck147 does i think he's way more experienced than me. If you started that photo seed then waited 2 months doing veg at 18/6. When it's done well ( not in my current run LOL ) it's great use of lighting while still focusing on the photos. use 2gal or so for the pot size, mine did not like these small containers plants were more sativa dom on these autos i think and did not like the tight space, me thinks?

      I like growing autos when there’s room in my veg tent. That way I can grow them while vegging my photos. They’re basically a side grow lol nothing I really care about. Although I’ve had a few surprise me, I not very fond on the pesky little things

        I switched to autos because they are easier for me. I use to keep mothers, clone, veg and then flower. Lots of pluses to doing it that way, and I think (My observation only) they produce better. But it takes room and I have a very limited amount. With Autos, I can easily use my existing space with less work. I run my autos at 23/1 I time the one for photo graphs and maintenance , so I do not stare at the leds longer then needed.
        If I ever get more room, will switch back to photo's, I love the consistency (Easier to do sea of green)

          All I’ve done is autos and I’m looking to switch to photos for my next grow. I hadn’t thought about having both grow at the same time.
          There are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:
          1) Water level (How much h2o is she drinking in 24hrs)
          2) pH level (change over 24hrs)
          3) ppm/EC level (How much food is she eating in 24hrs)

              Hello. To be honest, I'm not very good at photography either, especially at editing them. It's interesting, but I have absolutely no time to study this craft. But when I need to get high-quality images, I turn Depositphotos and download twerk vector graphics at a good price. Therefore, I advise you to visit this online service and choose suitable photographic materials from many others.​
