I thought autos were good.....they ain't?

 

[ChikiPox]

Intense and Happy high. Regards!

Autos are only good if you're growing outdoor In certain circumstances.

Auto just means the plant will flower by itself. It doesn't wait for you to change the light schedual.

This means you get zero control over your veg time or when you flip to flower. Also you wont be able to make clones or keep a mother plant. And they are also prone to be fucky. They herm if you look at them sideways and are easily stunted.

I dont get why people think they are good. Unless you're growing outside with seasons that dont get more than 14 hours of light a day, I dont see why they even exist.

Define "good."

If you wanted to get a harvest while waiting for outdoor photosensitives to go into flower in the fall, you could use autos to get a couple harvests while you're waiting. Use them outdoors too. No dependency on the light to change.

If you were short on space indoors (a micro grow), autos are good compared to 12/12 from seed. You get a more bonsai (scaled-down) version of a full-sized plant. That tends to yield better than a 12/12 from seed.

But, in a typical 7' tall tent, autoflowers are a waste of electricity, wear and tear on your lights. A full-size photosensitive would be more economical, larger yield, etc.

Sometimes new growers think autos are better because they're "automatic." The new grower doesn't have to do anything. But, all you have to do is switch the lights to 12/12. How hard is that? That's all autoflower save you from. (But, because they're on a fixed schedule, they don't have the time to recover from typical new-grower mistakes. So, in that sense, they're worse than a photosensitive.).

Some people just like to grow autos. I think they're fun to grow. I like their mini/bonzai appearance.

"Good" means many things to different people.

If that's tin foil, you might want to replace it with white posterboard (Walmart office supply area). I've never used tin foil as a reflector. But, I've heard it creates hot spots that can affect growth. (I think I've seen comparisons saying flat white surfaces reflect more than a midrored surface too.).

Yeah, or panda film. Stuff is great. Make entire tents out of the stuff.
