Agreed with @stepside . @Magic , would you want to join us if we can get a group of the breeders on here together for a community discussion some night? Just autoflower breeding talk.

Auto warriors on breeding, that probly wouldn't go too well...

Groovy. Got your PM too, I'll be in touch and we'll (oh my God I can't believe I just set this up) make (wait for it) MAGIC happen!

We need a CRINGE smiley for posts like this.

Age can be manipulating to some extent, but that's more related to what strains you cross to the auto. Look at Dutch Passion's Auto Ulimate. Its a large, good producing autoflower that runs 90+ days easily, seen a couple go 120 days. Its the Sativa genetics they used. Several of there strains are stated as 85 day strains and go longer. Not intentional I believe, it was to gain the Sativa growth patterns and yields. So length of flower could be manipulated if that was what you were looking to breed for. You can't make a 50 day Indica go 90 days though. I should say, not through selective breeding, without losing Indica traits. It would require gene altering.

okay i got it so far, now my question is why is it then not possible to breed an autoflowering strain that got a higher age of switching to flower? Like u said for F2 or higher it needs to be auto or photo, so why not an auto that got other characteristics then the "normal" ones?

Evening all, I've been looking through amazon at some affordable cob lighting and have come across a brand called BESTVA they seem to have decent reviews, they do a 800w 1000w, 1200w, 1500w & a 1800w ranging from around £200-£300. They state they have pretty good coverage 'the 1500 apparently will grow a 6x6 area' although I'd be tempted to use two smaller lights rather than one large, anyway I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these lights. Are they worth the money? I really want to try cobs but they do seem a touch pricey for a beginner, then again I don't want to buy shit either lol. I'm a 'mid range kinda guy' haha I use a vipaspectra 450 at the moment but I'm adding another room hence the need for new lights.
Cheers guys

no idea mate to be honest but it really annoys me how these companies get away with saying they have an 1800w light for 300 quid. i got 2 x 600's thinking id have 1200w and be able to grow a beanstalk and find a real life giant. a week later i came here and realised i could have them tested and found i only had 540w.
to me its like buying a 50" tv, getting home and finding it to be a 50" frame with a 20" screen. they wouldnt get away with it so how come its ok for almost every led manyfacturer going. and they say the 600's replace a 600w hps but theres nowhere near the area coverage. sorry for ranting but it really grips ma tits that one lol. i love my leds but ive got em both on 1 plant so they do me just fine : )

id love to breed the a/u with some sort of super strength rapid grower. gettin 10-15oz of premium every 75 days would be schweeet
