    Default Autos or 12/12 from seed?

    Trying to decide what to do for my next grow, samsara crystal storm and samsara shot adrenaline
    Or
    Holy grail 69 and lemon lush?


    My first single auto grow seems to be going ok, few weeks left so looking at what to do next, what issues will I have with 12/12 as I've never done it before? Will they grow taller? Give poor yield? Compared to the auto Ak I've just grown

    Cheers for the advice

    Autos I would stick with 18/6+ light cycle. 12/12 will give you slower growth, auto are on a time schedule so in a way you will hurt your end harvest amount. Will still work just not getting full potential from plant.
    Reg/fem on 12/12 from start will also be small, unless your doing sog/scrog etc I would start on a higher cycle.

    I think he's wondering wether he should grow autos or photoperiods 12/12 from seed, if so I'm not quite sure. I've never tried 12/12 from seed but I'm guessing it would grow bigger than an auto flower. Correct me if I'm wrong

    I can't see it making much if any of a difference to be honest. Photoperiod seeds need to do the vegative stage to get anything worth growing from them.

    You can still get a really good yield from 12/12 and save on electricity as well I got 5 zips from a plant in 12/12 I don't like autos personally

    I done a Critical Sensi Star 12/12 from seed and it grew well until I started having problems with my whole tent. Grew to about 60cm

    Like craig said mate if you're gonna go 12/12 all the way id stick to photos
    Autos are time dependant and need longer light hours
