auto or not auto? please help....

i work away 6 months of the year staying in a rented gaff and so am free to grow without the usual worries..have a great set up 1.2x1.2x1.8 600hps t5 for veg...4 oxypots intake/outake fans etc..gave me good results last year using cuttings but am unable to source any this year so will be growing from seed...supplies are at an all time low and almost back on the dreaded soapbar so time is of the essence so this reason alone is tempting me in favour of auto's...if so which seeds/banks are best? seems average price of decent/recommended are about 20 quids, dont mind paying as long as theres success so all help appreciated in advance..will turn this into a journal in a week or so once im back up and running....


the basics are germ seeds 20/4 lighting schedule veg food and t5 for first 14 days then onto the hps and flowering feed..canna aqua always served me well in the past but a change is as good as a rest so they say so open to persuasion and any advice given will be taken on board

thanks in advance for any input

See here for my quick overview about whether or not autoflowers might be for you:

Note that you can find fast (generally pure indica or indica dominant) "regular" strains that go from seed to harvest just as fast as autoflowers.

cheers m8 was the research i needed...think i'll look at sending away for 8 start 4 off at weekend an see how it go's...4 in my tent is that about rite? or should i double them up in my oxy's and start all 8? done this last year with a couple of runty cuttings they turned out a treat and were better smoke then the other single growers lol

which seedbank/seeds should i use? whats hot at the minute any deals goin on..what about the more expensive seeds(40+) i see a lot of them advertised are they really worth it in terms of yield/quality as opposed to the cheaper ones...how much are u guys payin for ur's?
