Legit question... Who are autos for?
I first heard of lowryders in Amsterdam back in the day. They sounded like a revolution, one less variable for the guerilla grower. But they seemed like they'd need a few years to be perfected.
Now legalization is sweeping the globe and everyone wants to have a go at growing. Feminised autos promise to give you a harvest in x weeks so seem like the logical choice.
Only, around here I've seen so many autos turn into bonsai trees, from both amateurs and pros. Obviously there's a learning curve so autos aren't really a plant for beginners.
We grow outside with a rather variable climate, hence the stunted growth, but it makes me think autos aren't really for outdoor growers during the off season.
If they're designed for indoors, where you have complete control over your environment, isn't it better to be able to choose when the plant starts flowering?
So, is it all about the speed? By the time your buds are cured, saving two weeks in your grow cycle doesn't seem so significant.
Or does it come down to the fact you can give them more hours of light during flowering? Once you know what you're doing, does an 18 hour a day auto flower outperform a 12 hour photo by 150%?
