Hello, I have gone through a couple grows all indoor 2/3 were autoflower grows. I have a little bit of an issue though my buds aren't getting the density I feel like they should be getting, they're very fluffy light and stimmy buds. I know very little about growing I want to mainly grow autoflowers if possible I don't know if it matters but my current grow is Zittlez, from I love growing marijuana. I will also upload pictures if that will help anything thanks for all the advice in advance!

I'm familiar with that strain and from that seedbank also.
It does not have a good rep on it's genetics. Everyone that I know that has grown it has had a 10% to 20% hermie rate.

What kind of grow do you have? Hydro or soil?

Bud density seems to depend on genetics + light. With a 600W LED, it sounds like you have the light, so that leaves genetics.

I can't recommend any autos, because I've never grown any. Since you have a tent and can control light and dark periods, why do you only want to grow autos?

I was told it was easier to grow auto's I grow with my brother he buys all the seeds and stuff. but this time I made them flower early by accident I think it was because I have 12/12 light cycle right now.

For Autos, they change over to flower when they are ready, not when you want them to. That's part of why I don't grow them.

What kind of food do you have?

You can force an auto to flower but its takes a lot of dark stress to do it.

just was using them to start getting some experience in growing everyone said they were a lot easier, are you saying I should just get fem seeds?

That light isn't 600w I don't think. Can you post a link to it.

I’m a new grower and I’ve been doing both. Photoperiods at my house and autos at my girls. Ppl suggest autos to newcomers when it doesn’t seem to make sense to me. Ok so you don’t have to worry about light leaks but you can’t control when they flower. I overwatered my plants in the beginning and if I was growing autos I would’ve had tiny plants that produced barely anything. Growing photos I was able to just veg them longer until they were of appropriate size. I feel they more forgiving for newcomers for this reason. Autos are kinda cool tho and I planted some outdoors so I harvest twice in a season which is a nice perk. I plan to do an auto run too eventually but I know I’ll always go back to photoperiod plants. It’s all preference but photoperiods give you more control and if you mess up you can recover. If I was growing autos I wouldn’t have plants that looked like this. You need a better light and you can get similar results.

That Miracle Gro has timed release food in it that is designed to last 6 months. You may have to very lightly supplement, but most likely not.
Watering is important. Just to be sure we are on the same page, have a quick read.
