I was thinking about running autos next year so I can get two outdoor harvests but I've been hearing a lot of bad things about them. Do you run autos a lot? Is your experience usually good?

It’s my first true run let’s say, I tried a couple times in soil and it just didn’t work out very well hard to blame genetics when it was likely my error to begin with.

I’ve been hesitant myself from the lack of reliability out of them that I’ve read too, and I don’t want to deal with male sacs and what not when these are $10 a damn seed. Atleast with photos I can clone and stretch the dollar on some fire phenotypes.

I like to be rough on the girls, and these could be the result, or could be just straight bad genetics, so hard to attribute it to one way or the other. If you baby bad genetics you can get decent results, but I sure don’t want a plant to throw a fit because the power went out for 20 minutes.
