it would make more sense to say that trash breeders are ruining cannabis culture & genetics . Ive only been around for a few years, so I don't know what the quality and smoke was like before, but from what I see a lot of the guys here are still growing some serious dank so I wouldn't worry about genetics. Autoflowers are versatile, the market sees them as a quick way to market "crazy" strains for the new grower to the advanced alike. Remember, you're in a cannabis boom, a bunch of younger kids doing this now, and knowledge is on here and accessible. It's a fad, a quick way to make some money crossing some stable genetics with a ruderalis. There are a couple breeders making some autos that would would compare to some photoperiods. Autos are not better nor are photos better nor can you compare. Advantages of auto ? Can be grown in veg rooms to increase yearly harvest, faster harvest time. For those in prohibition country, autos are great for stealth. Sorry for jacking the thread. Lets keep the comments focused on helping him rather than making him contemplate his grow.
