I was thinking I would try this out with two 3 gallon pots going to get a 400 watt led set up and a few clamp lamps. I think I should be able to do 2 auto to completion in here.

That sounds like a nice setup!
I`d maybe try to squeeze in 3-4 pots of the 3 gal or 2 pots 5gal, but it depends on what strains you are throwing in there

I didn't know we were talking specific strains.. thought this was about auto,semi auto and super auto..
Is this kind of like a great aunt.. to me this is weird too.. just cuz she's my mother's aunt doesn't make her great.. if she's giving good presents on Christmas now that would make her great

also did i haha
I was talking about semi-auto-strains not a specific strain.

I agree. And that's just it. A semi auto, like I am growing right now, flowers out of its own. I had her on 16/12 as seedling and during veg and she started showing sex on day 21 under that light regime. A few days later, as recommended, I switched the lights to 12/12.
She flowered without me having to switch to 12/12. So, she's an autoflower. Just because I switched to 12/12 after she started flowering doesn't make her a photoperiod.
It seems to me that this point doesn't come across...

I'm not missing the point, I don't think.. so you've got a semi auto that flowers on its own but produces better with a change in light hours.. I'm just trying to wrap my head around the whole thing

thats it. It still would produce something but with changing the light cycle it produces more.

I'm not arguing here...but. an auto should be able to flower under 24hr light. Regardless of yeild. If you have to switch the light cycle it's not an auto

I agree. In my opinion if it doesn't automatically flower, it's not a true autoflower.

I'm being opinionated, but I think semi-auto's are just an excuse for sloppy breeding. "It's not fully autoflowering, should we keep going?" "nah, fuck it. let's call it a semi-auto and sell it for the same price as solid, stable genetics."

I agree. And that's just it. A semi auto, like I am growing right now, flowers out of its own. I had her on 16/12 as seedling and during veg and she started showing sex on day 21 under that light regime. A few days later, as recommended, I switched the lights to 12/12.

So basically the breeder didn't take it far enough for it to fully auto? I too recommend switching things to 12/12, they are called photoperiod plants lol. I'm totally just teasing bud, but in all seriousness it just seems like someone did half the work and is trying to sell it to us. I have a tent full of photoperiod plants on 24/0 lighting, they are a little older than a month and many have sexed already. Why wouldn't I just grow that on 12/12 if that was my plight? Same veg as what is being suggested for a semi-auto, same light cycle for flowering. Only difference is that the claim is a semi-auto can still flower on other schedules, just not to it's potential max. Again, I'm sitting here with cartoon blinking eyes going "whaaaaat?" Why even market something like that "you can flower this on 24/0 but it will probably suck, but if you do it the way everyone is USED to growing photoperiods, you'll get a plant that is just like a photoperiod!"

Hey maybe I'm wrong. In 5 years maybe the market will be saturated with semi-autoflowering plants, not quite a photo, but not quite an auto in the sense you can just set and forget the light schedule lol.

So should autopots actually be called semi autopots because you need to hand water in the beginning?

 

[Cotton46]

Should have a grow battle like that !! Team battle student and a coach for biggest yeild!! Lol
