Too many people buy into the seed bank hype of easier/faster. I think you need more research into this . . . autos flip themselves quickly but the actual flowering period is generally the same for an auto or a photo, 7-10 weeks from pistils to harvest. Based on my limited experience with autos . . . couple of runs I knew better than to spend my $$$ on them again. Also, if in a hurry I can flip a photoperiod plant at 21 days and it will likely finish before an autoflower started at the same time . . . my photos generally only yield about 3-5 oz when flipped early like this, but that's all I've gotten off an auto at it's best.
Hahaha. I was the green voter.
Autoflowers should not be for beginners ! Imo they are better off with photos - and I grow my share of autos .
I've only grown auto's on a 12hr flowering light cycle because using my 1000w hps 18 hrs a day is just too fkin expensive.. I'd like to see how they do under my se3000 on 18hr light....I need another light....maybe 2 more .....Spiderfarmer? Spiderfarmer? I have the space just saying...I'll be a good tester......
They have pretty good thc now a days but the main reason I see for indoor is you can get a higher DLI with a lower watt lamp because they aren't limited to 12 hours during flower.
100%. Accurate.
If autos were the bomb and had weight and high THC you’d see multiple commercial operations running them. Period. They suck. I’ve never had one finish outdoors here despite claimed flower times. 3 years running a couple of freebies outdoors in the Land of the Midnight Sun. All 3 times had to finish them under light indoors. 3 times was enough. Weed was okay but not great. But I’m glad someone likes them for whatever reason.100%. Accurate.
people see the term”Auto” and assume it will automatically fill some jars.
Despite your level of growing, your still limited by inconsistent imbred genetics as well.
Their only purpose is for growers that cannot provide a grow area with the proper lighting requirements to grow photoperiods.
I grew out boreal seeds co Afghani
I don't want to add any fuel to the naysayers bench but I read a piece on auto's a while back saying that its hard to breed out the red head in a family....male & female can have a red headed child even though they or their family members don't have red hair, because somewhere in their lineage there was a red head that contributed to the gene pool.......Ruderalis genes don't disappear either and you can spend 3+ months growing a red head...lol100%. Accurate.

I grew out that Autoflower and gave it to a recovering heroin addict because he said the one sample I gave him gave him great efficacy I see him a week later he wouldn't drive anymore wouldn't even ride his bike,so i ask,what's the matter? he goes I don't know what the hell you put in that plant but I can only walk when I'm on it. I was proud of that plant I got to get my hands back into some potent autos
Figured it out.
That's what the seed companies want you to think. Grow a 80 day auto, or a 90 day photo. Not much time difference at all. Some autos take longer than photo's.
