my question is? Why autos?
If you think autos are easier, i hesitate to agree..
First off, as soon as she breaks ground the clock has started. ANY mistakes in ph, watering, etc will stunt the root growth and your gonna need a good root system to grow big nugs and support the plant.
You cant stay in veg another week or 2. What you got is what you got. If you were an experienced grower and KNEW your median and nutes well, then by all means..
Also i think imo that in one way or another autos cant compete with the best of non autos. At least from the pics...
Plus what if you run across that 1000 year pheno.... Oh well its gone now forever since we cant clone...
Autos seem like a novelty... I think the best part about autos is you could grow a couple out in your veg tent with your mothers providing you a lil smoke while the flower tent did her cycles..
