t.stoned Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Curiosity made me try once.Only one worth planting did not grow as an auto and was beautiful.My problem is why you wouldn't clone good strains and put straight into bud.Ruderalis i have been told has qualities of hemp.So apart from saving a fortune clones won't have ruderalis in genes and that is a plus.Plants take no longer so why???This is a genuine question not trying to be rude to those that grow them or rhetorical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatSouthernMan Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 the best attribute about autos is as Porky said for outdoor growersyou can theoretically sprout some autos and photos in spring enjoy the harvest fom the autos around Jan replant some more & then harvest again when the photo strains are ready may/june Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiloh Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Same for me. Autos in the vege garden in spring and again at Xmas. No big yields but means I get something while waiting for photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naycha Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 I find many photos can be planted in spring and harvested around christmas with good quality and yeild. Plant a variety and some will go through till autumn/winter. Clones are also a great option. Not shitting on anyone for their personal choices, just pointing out it's not so black and white. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiloh Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Are you starting these photos under lights then moving outside for summer flower? If found a photo strain that’s ready for harvest at Christmas grown outdoor only I’d say goodbye to the autos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatSouthernMan Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 you would still need to deprive it of light so that it gets no more than 12 hrs a day every day until its ready miss one day and you run the risk of reveg/hermies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naycha Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Are you starting these photos under lights then moving outside for summer flower? If found a photo strain that’s ready for harvest at Christmas grown outdoor only I’d say goodbye to the autosI was referring to seeds planted outdoors in Spring. Sometimes seeds from the same batch some will finish early and some later in the season. It is important to note Australia is a large continent so there are large variations in climate depending on where you live. Then there are the variations in microclimate. If your situation allows you will just have to try different varieties and see what works for you. If you find something that finishes in the timeframe you are looking for it would be a good idea to make some seeds with it/them. This way the next generation/s should be more likely to finish within that timeframe and will also become acclimatised to your conditions. The best I can do is let you know this summer what is finishing for me if you want an idea as it's not something I pay a lot of attention to as far as which strain.

midlifegardner Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Whilst you veg your photos you can grow autos and get a harvest. Plus no dramas if you're indoors worrying about light leaks if thats a problem. Some autos yeild really well these days. My best is I think just over 17oz from 2 autos just under 90 days from germ. And I wouldn't classify myself as a good grower.MLG Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
