Uh UH..........not unless you wan to stay a slave to the seed companies forever , along with substandard genetics , yield and potency. The autos are for those folks who are too lazy to control their own lighting and they will in the end be QUITE limiting from a genetic standpoint.

And no I don't wish to argue this and I *am not* trying to offend you but the fact remains that one of the absolute worst things that the seed companies have done is to bring the Ruderalis genes into the Sativa/Indica gene pool.

Keep in mind that in the natural setting as a landrace the Ruderalis strains contain about the same amount of THC as most of the Hemp strains........meaning almost *none* , autoflowering is a natural mutation to insure survival in far northern climates with very short seasons and very dramatic light conditions i.e. 20 hours and up of light a day for a period of the year..

In point of fact , the vast majority of folks would be vastly better off staring from *clones* the first couple of times out and getting a bit of experience in maintenance and feeding , along with learning how to clone well. This way when they do start from seed they will have a better idea of what to select as a mother , how to maintain her and how best to utilise her.

When starting , see to the environment first , then pick a stable strain that's forgiving and easy to grow.Keep it *simple* the first couple of times out.

As regards " hydro stores" and the nutrient companies****there are NO "magic bullets".......NONE***** , a cursory examination of certain segments of the agricultural industries and what's utlised by folks whose *livelihoods* depend on results on a daily and seasonal basis will highlight just what sort of pirates many of the nutrient companies are. And yes if I have to I will name names.......

Most important items when getting set up are environment and genetics , without those two items being addressed properly then the best soil and nutrients in the world will be of no benefit , and if you fail to address growing environment then the best genetics will just go to waste.
