I don't understand: why people grow in hydro, why people grow autos

grouchyoldman I'm 68 and often a grouchy old man. You wrote "Stinky Smoke Weed" that isn't selling and I almost spit out my coffee. A lot of humor - crabby tribe, non-transparent mylar. A pleasure to read in the a.m. Hilarious.
 
Exactly Ckbrew i waste so much time with early bloom reveg on photos outdoors over the years. Indoor for starting and growing photos is the way to grow for outdoors. Veg them for a very long time if you can get them at least 20" mine get all root bound it hasn't mattered one bit with photos once they get into their big pots outdoors 10,15,30gal which ever those roots explode and grow fast in my experience. We got about 4months of decent grow weather where i'm at. I've had photos started from seed or clones and be nearly 8months old by the time i've harvested. But i'm old school and trying to change my practices. I really don't want to be tied down anymore so i'm growing autos more outdoors 10wks max and staged grows, every 2wks start a new auto seed.
 
That auto I complained about earlier turned out ok, so I'm wrong for the millionth time.

I don't understand the DISGUSTING mess pictured below. Somebody in an edibles group posted this as "mix FECO with melted chocolate". WTF is this, tar from Interstate 95? Good god almighty I wouldn't eat this even if I was in prison.

That's my biggest reason for autos, no worries if I need to open up the tent after "dark"!
I'm sure I will try some photos soon, we have a "family" clone called IDK that kicks ass. I will try those soon.
 
lol my pots aren't exactly half full but as a first time gardener I didn't realize how much the soil would settle after a few waterings so they are definitely lower than I would like.
 
I yell FRAUD sometimes, even in a store. You're not a fraud, this is an honest post. I am with you on outdoor grows, it's very relaxing. Different climate here - always expecting at least a 50% loss to mold or caterpillars.
 
I ended up choosing autos because this is my first time attempting to grow any plants and they sounded easier because the lights could be on 18/6 from seed to harvest. I also chose them because I am growing inside and the tent is only 5ft tall so I needed a plant that wouldn't grow as tall. I am doing a soil grow though. Funny thing is the more I read about autos it seems they are actually easier to mess up than photos. Seems to be going okay so far though.
 
No I honestly don’t think it’s because it’s free. Ever heard of you want something done right foot yourself? I feel that’s how it is with weed. Dispensary shit is not cured hardly dried properly and grown with synthetic nutrients that alone makes the bud different. I just can’t stand it any more. My friends used to come over (pre-COVID) and offer me some and I would just roll my own instead plus I vape and they like to burn which makes it that much worse burning the bud to the point where you inhale carcinogens. Someone said it’s the same thing? I think not. it’s like drinking water straight from the tap in Michigan and bottled water not the same thing I don’t care what anyone says. Lol
 
Autos can be enormous, taller than 5' - not saying that's what you have though. Autos *are* easier to mess up. A regular plant can take a helluva lot of punishment in veg state yet still be productive in flower. Frankly, I will severely punish some plants when they're in veg state to test their determination to survive. That's a test grow, not a "regular" grow where I have an expected outcome.

In disparity with regular seeds, an auto is fragile, any disturbance in veg state can punk the grow. I also dislike the inherent lack of control of veg state duration - I want to determine that, I don't want the plant to decide. All that being said I have an RQS Gorilla Glue auto finishing now. It took forever to finish. That's another thing about autos - predicting the duration of time to finish can be crap shoot because that auto strain will always have phenos that behave unexpectedly.
 
that is an interesting post by Cali , when he's talking dispensary weed is not cured properly. Well god damn - when I was in Amsterdam 20 years just about every weed I smoked in a shop there was cured improperly. This is the lazy man's SOP, get that flower out on market as fast as possible. At the same time there is some good dispensary weed - Darkhorse in Denver, Jungle Boys in LA.
 
PeterMatanzas have you ever tried or heard of Growers Choice Seeds? I am also growing Gorilla Glue Auto but it is from them. I have 2 more Gorilla Glue auto seeds and 5 Critical Purple auto from them left over but I want to try growing photos after I grow what I have.
 
SleepyTibbs I haven't heard of those seeds. But when I was going into my auto project I bought Gorilla Glue auto from 4 breeders, one was RQS, another was Auto Seeds, I dont remember the others but they were mainstream. I wanted to grow out all 4 to see who's best.
 
Did the FECO look like that before going into melted chocolate? :o I've put FSHO into olive oil for a box brownie mix, the OO looked like corn oil with the FSHO mixed into it. There's a method for adding CO to melted chocolate, IIRC.
