I am growing for personal use in an outdoor ( enclosed) greenhouse. in Las Vegas NV ( region 9a) As my summer 6 are coming to an end I am looking forward to planting a fall/ winter crop. What are the chances of success in growing auto flowers in this region. I can control the temperatures, humidity, food & water, but I will have no control of the diminishing ours of sunlight. What are my chances for success with these new auto strains during the traditional "Non growing months".. average sunlight should be (in hours) ... (Sept 12:55 hrs. to 11:48) (Oct 11:48-10:42) (Nov 10:40- 9:54) (Dec 9:53 -9:45) then back up again.

Auto do best in 18+ hours... I have read they don't produce much if less. But it also depends on strain I think. Search some. You might find the answer you need to hear.

It can be done they'll just be smaller than usual...if you had the ability to veg @ 18 hr a day for 45 days they'd produce more...g/l

You will have to supplement the lights for sure, I have one auto critical cheese (dinafem) growing outdoors, its on day 60 something now, and it says its about a 1M plant, with 40-140 grams or so, it looks like I will be able to harvest 3-4 1g blunts off her, shes been getting around 12-14 hours of direct sun, and then a few extra hours of indirect sun (in the shade, but still sun light outside) if I had been able to hook up lights or something outside (but I don't wanna be visible from space lol) the plant is super danky though and looks delicious (its my first auto, and first actual bud I get to harvest, so I'm not too sad, I just wish it was bigger. I think all guys do though

I hear that because of the Ruderallis in them that they grow in the Northern zones with much shorter days so Ill give it a chance.... One more thing! I've loved watching this Joc Horror Auto flower grow,so let me show you a little bud porn from this morning .....View attachment 2791700View attachment 2791701View attachment 2791702View attachment 2791703View attachment 2791704View attachment 2791705View attachment 2791706
