OLD REVIEWS Dr. Greenthumb's Iranian Autoflower Strain review/smoke report

I was trying to grow out the iranian haze for a third summer in BC but I got a PO box and I believe the worker there stole them. He looked at me very funny when I said there should be more things in my PO box...I told Dr. Greenthumb and he ignored me. So yes, I am aware that Greenthumb has some shady aspects to him. His iranian haze is really good in the hands of a skilled grower though. Try and it out! Should actually finish in Ontario!
 
First of all, this strain was a clone only strain floating around Canada for years. The orininal name is Auto Affie. A brother over at UDG made S1s and gifted them to many people over there. Some one sold a or some fem seeds to this greenthumb character for big money. Greenthumb just renamed them Iranian Auto Flower, and made most of his crosses with it. Do some people have no conscience?
Has anyone else grown iranian autoflower outdoors?
This is an OUTDOOR STRAIN, that is why people are getting inferior grows indoors. It has NOTHING to do with the growers skills, it is the genetics.

I grew pure IAF/AA, in 2015 OD, and grew out a couple of plants in 2016, of a cross I made with IAF x a pure CBD pheno. Won't grow again.
 
I just started growing. Ordered IAF from YKW. Nine out of ten sprouted. Been moving them outdoors according to season/rainfall. Finish indoors under two Y-Grow 600 watt LEDs(great lights.) Finished 1st one in 10 wks, but 12 week version much tastier and deeper, dynamic high. Harvested one after 9 wks and the high was very nice, too, more cerebral and uplifting, not the ambiguous stony, sleepy high of the others...maybe I will harvest the others early cause I like that zingy trippy early high better...but in general the weed is very good and very strong. One only got to be 10 inches tall, harvested after 6 weeks to get it out of the way...great high even that young, but only about 2 or 3 joints worth. Others are between 14 to 26 inches tall, autoflowers are small, I use at least a 3 gal bucket with holes drilled in the bottom, make my own soil mix with earthworm castings, etc...LST is super easy and by God it seemed to double the yield. Outdoor ones seem to adopt a more piney/skunky smell, natural breezes maybe? Season is waning so next batch will be indoors.
 
I have theorized that in the case of IAF, maybe not all auto flowers, there is a shared cause and effect from environmental factors. Are autos completely without response to day length, temp, etc? One plant would not even begin to flower, even after 8 weeks. I moved it outside in Sept as the days grew shorter, and it immediately began to flower. Another one I broke the apical meristem off about 2 weeks into flowering, and it ceased flowering ad went back into veg mode for about 6 weeks. It never began to flower again until I stuck it too outside in the waning days of summer, then it began again in earnest. I am inclined to think there is an influence by photoperiod in some autos, maybe not entirely environmentally determined, but partially so. This parallels some college anthropology I studied about environmental determinism and possibilism.
