Cons...

Low yield.
Low potency.
Inferior genetics.
Ugly looking plants.
Its Ditch weed under a new name.

I ran some ak47 autos because they were free. Not a huge fan weak smoke you have to keep buying the expensive ass seeds they are needy and just not worth it.
Only pro would be if i wanted to get a early outdoor harvest to suplement how dry it gets before croptober

Wikipedia
  • Short life span with many going from seed to harvest in under 13 weeks (some as short as seven weeks)
  • Can be kept short in stature for "stealth" growing
  • The Cannabis ruderalis heritage causes flowering after 2–3 weeks from germination
  • No need for a separate vegetative and flowering environment (unlike with photoperiod dependent/ short-day strains)
  • Simple seed production, one plant can produce several hundred seeds even at 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall
  • Due to short life span can be grown in cold climates where summers are short and cold[7]
  • Can be grown outside in city environment where there is artificial lighting, that would affect (stress) regular strains
  • Can produce multiple harvests outdoors in one season

i dont have much experience with regular cannabis, and 0 with autoflower, but this is probably debatable

I consistently run autos. If I don't tell people they are autoflower, no one knows the difference. Autos have to be grown right and are very finicky. Transitioning to growing autos from photos is hard but I started on autos and it's nothing to get 100+ in 80- days from a single auto grown and trained right with Good genetics. Covered in trichs. Great flavor and smell. Not weak by any means.... Here's some pics of my autos...

They would be good for an early outdoor crop; maybe plant some in with the full season plants so you get some ready to harvest early.

I think I will have to get some auto seeds actually.

Will beat having to wait till autumn to get some buds.

Do auto's have a higher percentage of CBD because of the ruderalis genetics?

If I get some I will first grow a seed crop with open pollination, so I end up with hundreds of seeds.
Good to have lots of seeds, and cheaper than buying them if you want to put a lot of plants in.

I chopped and hung to dry a pollinated 707 Truthband x Black Widow yesterday, so will get some seeds from that, so will grow a couple of them when I get the chance and see what they look like.

Always got to be making seeds if you can.

I still buy them, but it's good to have lots of seeds stashed away.

We had a couple that produced 1/4 oz or close. lol
It just shows that Autos need more Root space to produce good.
There are some stout Autos out there now days so good luck on your adventure.

If grown right and not stunted ever autos are great. It's most of what I run honestly. If your commercial size with 100sq feet, maybe just a little over you can run 72 girls. Even of you mess up a little bit still know your autos and successfully get to harvest you would get minimal 2oz per plant. 144oz per run. Each run taking 2.5 months or less usually. So five runs a year. 45-50 pounds, even if you sold them low end, 2,000$, that's 90-100k a year off 105sq. Feet. Each auto gets trained and allowed 1.5 square feet. If your good and really into it and mailing big autos everytime you can do 140sq, 2sq ft per girl and be getting 3-4 zips per plant. 100+ grab autos are not a rare thing. And if grown right the quality is there too with the right breeders

I'm not 100% sure but I believe that's the conclusion most have came to, even from a scientific standpoint. They also have a free CBD autos out of your interested. If you want the highest Quality autos go with Mephisto. Want consistent yielders run dinafem.
