I did a search of the forums and did not find anything distinguishing Auto-flowering from a Photo-flowering plant. So, what are the cultivation differences? Is one easier to grow than the other? If so, Why? I have only been growing for a year and have stuck to feminized seeds only. What are some of your experiences in moving from photo-flowering to auto-flower?
There's tons of info about autoflowers. Just type in Cannabis ruderalis or have a look at websites of reputable seed banks that specialize in autoflowers, like DutchPassion for example. \nThere are a couple of 'generation' of Autoflowers: \n1) Jointdoctors' Lowryder 1 = about 20-25 grams per plant in 7-8 weeks \n2) Jointdoctors' Lowryder 2 = about 50-100 grams per plant in 8-10 weeks \n3) Super autoflowers (ala AutoMazar/Autoblueberry/AutoUltimate) = 100+ grams in 75-80 days (even up to 350-400g per plant) \n\nNo need for special care as far as lighting is concerned. \nFor the biggest yield and best result: plant autoflower seeds directly in soil in a large volume container (+20l) \nThe biggest difference between photosensitive and autoflowering genetics is the fact you CAN'T CLONE AUTOFLOWERS. \n\nUsing a 12/12 cycle direct from seed (indoors) you can 'convert' regular strains into autoflowers and have a cultivation cycle that runs around 11-12 weeks from seed. Very good if you prefer genetics that aren't available in autoflower format. \nLook and you will find. \nOR \nTry and you will learn!
