Even with autos 8 weeks ain't long mate but then again I don't grow autos.. May be checkout some auto grow diaries for seed to dry bud times. BTW? Loki loves an auto.

i have a few grows to say the least under my belt even some still in grow diaries section but i left the forum after all the changes and have only just rejoined as a newb so i'm good on most things just never used autos

Speedy Chile from Royal Queen Seeds is meant to be 6 weeks flower I think. Maybe try that?

Don't listen to the hype about finishing in 8 weeks. I've started mine the same day as others on here. Same strain and breeder etc. Feeds all pretty much identical. They are pretty much done. Mine are still going lol. Think its close to 12 weeks ish now.

8 weeks, 56 days including germination?

Sorry to burst your bubble but that just isn't enough time

That flower time is implausible, add 3 weeks for its normal vegging & that's without any mishaps. The quickest auto I've ever done was cream mandarine by sweet seeds 70 odd days from seed to chop, factor in 7 days drying & another 14 for a cure. Your already at 12+ weeks.
You may have some luck with the fast versions of some autos but your still looking good at 10+ weeks mate.

i meant i have an 8 week window i can run my lights they wouldnt be going under the 600s from seed and drying and curing can be done elswhere

Not going to happen mate. I've done quite a few auto grows now and even if you choose a so called "fast" strain which tend to advertise a 7 week cycle then they'll still take 8 to 9 weeks to finish off properly.
