Why are you guys so into autos? Isn't that expensive? Don't you want to be able to clone and veg them as big as you like?
Just asking, I have never tried an auto...
The reasons I like Autos are:
1. No stress about light leaks. This is an easy thing to fix but neither of my vent holes are light sealed. That was a big plus with building my new hood, seals top light leaks. Then I just keep my photo Chocky on the opposite side of Purps and I'm sweet.
2. Shorter life-span means a lesser investment time wise. I could really drop kernels and be done, drying and cleaned up a few months later.
3. Smaller plants with genetics designed to yield beyond 'normal' abilities, m2 : gram work very well when dealing with limited space and wattage. By theory behind this is that The BAR is able to produce beautiful yields from 2L grow systems running photos. My thoughts are that autos, being bred for yield beyond size and time should really flourish under BAR's system. I'm in the process of trying it out properly with 2P2I(2Purple2Impatient) however I will be overseas for a few weeks of her life..
4. These things taken into account I think (and am open to correction) that I will be able to harvest more with a one month staggered, 6 plant auto SIP grow(meaning I start the new 6 a month or more before I harvest the old 6) than I will with 1 or hopefully 2 photos taking twice as long.
If I have my timings, ideas or anything off kilter, please let me know. I've been know to miss things.. Hehe.
