Tell us about your grow.
What are you using for light?
What type of soil and nutrients do you have?

They can look good but the problem is that you to make autos you need to cross with ruderalis and ruderalis has 0 thc so it takes away from the ounch which to me makes growing them pointless

I would guess most breeders now are not going all the way back to ruderalis to get the auto flower genes into their plants. They're probably using existing autos that have been bred so much with photos that the ruderalis part is a fairly small percentage. All they need from ruderalis is one gene pair.

But I think there are more reasons it's unlikely to have super-potency from autos. Breeding with autos just can't be as precise, because they can't be kept and can't be cloned. There is no knowing that an individual plant is spectacular until after it is dead.

I'm at day 36 and I am just now getting pistols. Give it some time. Mine usually start at day 30 or so. I am growing in a 15-gallon SIP so its normal got me to go 30+ days to start.

The two on the right are the autos. The left one is a scrogged Bruce Banner2.0. Yes I am flowering the autos on 12/12. IME it gives slightly less yield but higher quality.

also i have been cutting some the big leafs off, should I just leave them?

 

[newcastle112]

Yeah i wouldnt do that. Like steamroller said, heat rises and cold air sinks so it only makes sense to exhaust from the top and pull fresh cool air in from the bottom.

the man in the shop must’ve been trying for me, to not be successful as telling me to put my air intake at the top and this was in a grow shop to , thanks on your advice

I remove any that block a bud site. Or tuck them behind preferably.
