Been growing for 40 years outdoors, 20 years indoors under first mh and now led, for the last 8 years have been growing only autoflowers, this is because cultivation is illegal here and autoflowers tend to smell less or if they do stink its for a lot less time, this sux as i like doing decient photo grows but this is impossible as i live in a large apt complex in the middle of a city, so 8 years ago i started running autos on an assembly line basis so i most allways have my own weed, i allso quickly found out autoflowers are not photos and i had to figure them out with little or no help, on the upside i myself bealive that i me has a hell of allot of experience growing autos and i am probably in the top 5 on this site with this knowledge as most people dissmis autoflowers as a fad, or worse, well friends there here to stay and over the last 8 years some strains have improved dramatically to the point where in my opinion they are now legitimate, or rather we have some very inovative auto breeders, i was taught to grow outdoors by my first cousin a nam vet, he taught me everything, when i started under lights i allready had the knowledge to grow outdoors, but had to figure out for myself how lights work, and all that, thats when i met a guy who owns a hydro store, this guy can take one look and tell whats wrong, he helped me out a great deal with his advice and it has allways been spot on, has to be if he wants return buisness, so on this site i am nowhere near the best grower by a long shot, but i do okay i dont ask for advice beacuse i dont need it, however like i said i do have allot of knowledge on how to grow autoflowers self taught and have grown 100s of different stains by different breeders, i know who has good beans and who does not, i know the stuff you need to have to grow autos and in what quantity, yea i can help trouble shoot and all that, so yea i do think i am one of the most experienced autoflower growers on this site, but no way am i the best grower, not by a longshot, but i do ok! enough not to have to ask for help.
