Potent Autoflowering Strains.. Yes, they are exist! :D

[THC123]

The automazar i grew out is just as potent as any normal strain

 

[soil margin]

Hey forgive my ignorance for a stupid question but when growing autos indoors could you theoretically give them 24 hours of light during flowering because they aren't photoperiod dependent?

 

[THC123]

yes

I have to say, I'm impressed with what I'm seeing in this thread. I am of the school of thought that autoflowering strains are a bad thing for the big picture of cannabis plants. I see them eventually contaminating the gene pool and ultimately eliminating photoperiod-dependent strains, unfortunately. That will be the fault of people, though, and not the autoflowering genes themselves, so I don't hate on autos. I do think they are beneficial to people up in the Arctic circle, though, so I am in favor of keeping them contained to those latitudes.

That being said, I was sent a couple of freebie seeds of GHS Sweet Auto Mango, which are feminized, but due to the fact that feminized strains can still throw male flowers, I will keep my karma in check by not growing them outside, thus preventing any chance of allowing the autoflowering genes to contaminate anyone else's outdoor grows that might be nearby.

Reason why I'm posting this? To respond to some of the people who say growing autos indoors is a waste of time or whatever. I actually think it's the only ethical option! Outdoors, the evil genes might contaminate other non-evil genes that might be out there. But indoors, there is no chance of that.

So, if you MUST grow autos, and you don't live in the tundra, I plead with you to ONLY grow them indoors. There, that's my rant.

While I'm in here... has anyone grown the Auto Sweet Mango? I'm going to go ahead and grow them out, as I don't see any reason to throw them away, but I'm curious what to expect. I'm going to grow them out in a CFL cab.

I agree with you but I am growing autos outdoor at the moment to get some outdoor smoke before christmas and something to smoke before the real harvest in may. I like outdoor ganja twice as much as indoor.

Plus you can chuck out 10 plants in your backyard without anyone noticing since they rarely grow higher than 3'.

Have you tried an af strain to talk about it like that?

Maybe less yield, but the yield isn't the only criterion for a lot of growers, especially for those don't have a lot of space in outdoor e.g... and for the potency, I suggest you just try before talk it...

Peace bro...

Indeed. Samsara Ultraviolet is high quality smoke, with excellent aroma, taste & potency. It's a quality mind expanding high, as well. Buddha Syrup is also quite potent, in a more stony way. Not really my style, but potent, anyway. The Ultraviolet, particularly, was very well received by my testers. They were surprised it was an autoflower, having believed the usual propaganda.

I grew the Ultraviolet to get some quick stash when I came back to growing, and it didn't disappoint. The Syrup after that wasn't as stellar, but still not bad. Both yielded ~3/4 oz per plant, indoors, organic soil, at 68-70 days from seed. That was my first grow in over 30 years, so I think a better grower could get more.

They served my purposes well, and would seem to be excellent for outdoor stealth purposes, other than the smell. The Ultraviolet is particularly pungent & skunky in a yummy sort of way. Smell it, and you want it.

They definitely have their place in the modern scene, and will only get even better as more breeders work with them.

hush I gotta disagree with ya ma man....

Evil genes....fuck I lol'd when I read that.

As far as what to expect from your Sweet Mango....expect to see the same results as you would a regular seed grown under some CFL's. It'll be fine...but it won't be the same as if you'd have stuck her under some HID.

Start a thread in the AF section if ya do though.

Don't worry man, Ace and cannabiogen are our protectors against the evil genes , autos aren't taken seriously anyways for the most part. I just chuck mine in the backyard with minimal care just for a laugh.

Clearly, autoflowers are being taken seriously by some top breeders. They definitely have their attributes.

Just starting out & want some quick stash? Have reasons to keep your plants small or to harvest outdoors midsummer? severe indoor height restrictions? Quality autoflowers fit the bill, & will only get better over time.

Problems with bugs, drought & low overnight temps at high altitude? Short growing season? From all accounts, the little darlings are tough as nails, real survivors.

I've moved away from them atm to build up a stash, explore modern varieties. Colorado law doesn't restrict the amount we can have, but rather the number of flowering plants we can have. In that context, their yield is fairly low. Ill return to them in time, I'm sure. Their explosive growth & development are quite fascinating.

I was worried the uneducated and misinformed wouldn't make it to the thread....but I can see your right on time.

 

[kiwigreen420]

Yes ok autoflowers definitely have their attributes for height restrictions, high lat etc. They clearly are inferior in terms of yield, potency and what not but that will probably change as we get more technologically advanced with breeding, say in 10 years we may have figured out how to extend the veg period to about 5 weeks or more? or successfully clone without being the same age as the mother... who knows what the future holds.
A panama or african sativa auto might be the next big thing(If someone hasn't already)

Okay master yoda, please educate and inform me. I was only being half serious but i'm just a dumbass that knows nothing right?.

 

[5th]

Well I was being entirely serious m8.

And I think post #49 summed it up nicely.

Want an education on AF's though do ya? Lets start with the pics...

Pipe or bong for this guy...that cigar taste makes weed taste like shit.

 

[kiwigreen420]

Bong is no.1 then shisha pipes is the next best thing for me. You must be thinking of the dutch masters? the juicy jay brand actually tastes quite nice and it's so smooth with no cigar taste(at least for me). I goddamn hate marijuana & tobacco mixed mulls.

 

[Mr. Majestyk]

The sour 60 that I grew out had five out of ten totally potent phenos. Was a heavy non auto smoker at the time and was absolutely impressed.

It is my opinion that if you come to make your dislike of autos known on this kind of thread: 1. You have an agenda, or 2.;You are highly biased & doing yourself & others a disservice.

@ Kiwi-
I don't know where you've received/gotten your genetics. Yes, yield isn't up to a 4-5 month photoperiod plant. "Inferior potency"???? I beg to differ....I have developed several strains that will knock your socks off into the next room or into the yard.
