Autos can be sensitive to different things like strong feeds and ill timed transplants, but i have found that todays powerhouse autos are far more resilient than most give them credit!! Its important to push them(but not too hard!!) to create auto monsters.
Hmm ocean grown..i recall someone talking about their genetics recently...was it @dankstyle J that was talking about ocean grown?
One company i would consider looking for a phenohunt is dutch passion. They have some amazing plants for sure(growing more than a dozen of their strains), and if you want to get some crazy huge autos give them a shot. Daiquiri Lime, Autoultimate, Auto Night Queen, Brooklyn Sunrise, Colorado Cookies are all incredible autos.
@912GreenSkell thanks for the seedbank tip. Do you know are Dutch Passion's breedstock raised organically? I wasn't able to find any information on their website specifically regarding their SOP. Ever since I heard of their Frisian Duck pheno I have had my eyes on it. Maybe I'll pick it up on your recommendation. It's always nice to be able to justify buys like that hahaha.
edit: hmm also I wonder which process they use for feminization of their seed..
