Need advice on auto stains

I’m still kinda new to growing iv done a few grows outdoor and i’m almost done with my first autos. They flowered really quick and didn’t put on much size before flower. I’m looking for a high yielding auto flower strain. I need a stain that will veg a little bit longer and put on more size before flowering. So any suggestions on auto strains you’ve grow to be big plants.

Autos are a poor choice for inexperienced growers despite the name. You are trying to do workarounds when photoperiod are what you need to grow. Unless you have some reason to not.

I definitely plan to do photos indoor sometime but iv done 4 grows outdoorsand want to switch it up. I also have a smaller grower area and don’t want to wait so long for photos.

Anything from Mephisto, they have the best autos in the business.
iv heard good things about them but i’m not sure exactly how the drops work. Do they rerelease there old stains on drop days or different strains every time?

Most strains on drop days are strains they have had for a long time but every now and then they add a new strain to the drop.

Buy them directly from Baked Beans Seeds. He has a lot of their strains in stock.

Why are you so hung up on autos? You said you want something that will veg longer. Just grow photos and veg as long as you want and then flip to flower.

Waiting on drops is ridiculous as there are plenty of good genetics that you don't have to go through all that nonsense to get.

Some will but some will finish just as fast or faster if you veg for 4-5 weeks and switch to flower.

Auto's have their place. I've started growing them outdoors in the summer as it's hard to get anything to finish outdoors where I'm at.

I'd recommend to pull up a site with strains and look through them. On Seedsman.com you can sort by High THC, High Yield, medicinal effects, and other categories. Then click on each strain and read up about times, yields, Terps, etc, etc.

Spend a few hours looking through strains to figure out what you think would work best for you. You don't have to use Seedsman.com, I just suggest them because they have a lot of information on their site.

I shoot for high THC strains with terp profiles I like and then and try to make sure they are at least average to high yielding.

You can def get an auto to grow into a nice big plant. But it would probably be easier for a novice to get a big photo period than a big auto.

People growing autos in soil just tend to end up with small plants from what I have seen. Experienced growers have more success with autos in soil.

Try growing in coco...more like hydro and the plant can grow to full potential. Just gotta feed it correct.

I grow autos cause my environment has light leaks that I've been to lazy to fix.
