Feminized vs autoflowering feminized

[Nicky]

As one of the auto growers here on ilgm that answer these sort of questions all the time ide like to dispell some myths stated above.

Autos can take full feed nutrients just fine if your growing environment and genetics are on par with nutrient needs it’s all about learning to zone in all aspects.

Autos also do not sacrifice yeild, a growers mistakes sacrifice yeild in any grow.

@Nicky

Let’s compares today’s autos against today’s photos because that’s what the conversation is about, while you should still check the genetic thc rating a breeder gives it this is often a best case scenario for both plants and unless lab reports are there to back it up don’t belive it.

There are many differences still.
Autos flip automatically, of course if your have a breeder who isn’t a good auto breeder (like ilgm or pacific seeds or othes) then there is a roll of the dice if the genetic is stable enough that it will always be an auto.

Let’s say we are dealing with quality genetics though like mephisto or fastbuds or heavyweight or Dina fem or Dutch passion autos against quality photos like ilgm or elev8 or ethos, Jordan of the Island or something else so this conversation is fair.

Autos will flip general after 4-6 weeks of veg
Photos you decide when they flip

Therfor autos have a limited veg time, so if you don’t know how to grow cannabis your going to have a steep learning curve. Some say this is bad however I say it’s good, the faster you fail the faster you learn and adapt that’s what happened to me and I’m a pretty knowledgeable grower these days but we are all always learning and there is always someone out there better.

Autos will take any light scedule and do what they can with it, they also arnt light sensitive so if you have a led on or a light leak your plant won’t herm. However photos are very light sensitive and it will effect their growth rate and when you flip them they will herm on you or grow terrible bud structure.

Autos are incredibly difficult to clone, it’s possible but it’s easier to seed one out and get seeds then to clone. While photos can be cloned with ease.

One of the biggest differences that will make a difference at the end of the day to your final product however is genetics.
Many auto strains are named one thing but if you look at its linage or ask the breeder it’s often not exactly as advertised so Always look at the linage of any genetic before you buy it however autos are more common for this.
An example is sensi seeds northern lights auto, it’s not actually a Northern lights crossed with an auto. It’s a northern lights #5 crossed with a skunk auto, although many breeders don’t list the lineage on their websites so you need to ask them.
When you step into top quality genetic companies like mephisto, elev8, ace seeds they tell you exactly what your getting and how stable the genetic is possibly even how many phenos are in their batch of seeds. Most big seed banks won’t tell you thst or the common names that show up first on the list. Learning about genetics is key to growing better quality cannabis once you have your grow dialed in.

Autos will also Cary more cbd due to the auto gene.

But eh that’s just my thoughts

Here was my amnesia haze I grew last grow with two Bruce banners behind it.

Here are my last Bruce banners

Here is a ak 47 I grew 9oz and some change.

Here is a sweet n sour I grew

You want colors?
Here is a purple kush I shoved in the corner and it lacked lighting but still did alright, I upgraded my tent so more space then light right now unfortunately.

How about a blackberry kush

Autos are a bit of a learning curve but if you want to learn to grow good buds grow autos, anyone can grow a photo. An auto gives you much better feedback as to how perfect your environment is.

I find photos a hassle now, light switching, worrying about light leaks, I can’t open my tent Durring darkness hours, they eat /drink more and I find they are less efficient.
When you grow autos you produce more bud per year because your plants grow faster and flower faster so your turn around is better.
