I agree 100% there is nothing wrong with growing Auto’s and I take my hat off to you for being successful in doing so. But unfortunately for me I had two that stunned and never recovered properly. I still don’t know why but I guess now I’m once bitten twice shy. Imho photos are way more forgiving and I’m going to stay with whatever works for me. CLI don’t know anyone that grows autos 12/12, what’s the point they grow the same at 24/0 as any variation. My last 3 grows have been 24/0 , you finish 10 days early on average and that’s from 18/6. There’s a lot of guys that only grow photos partnering up with auto guys coming up with some awesome plants. My Dutch Passion from Herbies says the yield is 450-500 grams in the Orange bud I purchased, 70 days from seed, and this is a bad thing. Autos have come really far in the last couple years, it’s common for certain seed banks to get 10-15 ozs on a plant, I can only smoke and give so much away , what would I do with 4 lbs , the last marathon I grew tested at a festival 27% thc and the cannabinols were in the 30s the cbd was even 2% , best weed I ever smoked and I lived in California for 2 yrs I’ve smoked a lot of great weed. Bill Herbies has a very extensive awesome selection of autos , I have some on the way . To each their own but there’s nothing wrong with growing autos
