OK actually 10 years ago guys were blowing warehouses in Cali, Colorado and Texas. They were not only mobs and cartels. Cartels grow outdoors in south america and in national forest in the US. I'm not saying the cartels didn't set up shop in Cali and I know for sure that the Russian mafia has their hands in some of the Denver warehouses. But us Americans have doing this shit since the early 90's.
But honestly bro you have not the slightest clue of what you are talking about. Trepenes are what gives the bud flavor. So you say rec user's don't care about flavor? That is by far one of the stupidest comment I've ever seen on this site.

You are literally just talking out your ass.
Please explain to me how dafuq you can make more money from auto's?
You are so smart, smarter than any of these cats doing 1000 lighters, you got that master plan brah
So smart you offer a cop hash oil..
hey in my defense i was drunk from ren fair ......and doing it there all day with no issue other then sending a 76 year old women to the hospital (to strong for her) she was ok just freaked out from the puff .....and it was a undercover dea not someone in uniform or looked like a cop ....he was cool with it showed me badge told me put it away ......it was his wife that was the bitch and called the local cops .....in the end the charges got put on pbj so only have a arrest reacord for it (why becuase the rehab lady wrote a note to the judge saying i am not addicted and have a medical need for weed)
as for how is it more profitable ........basic math ....nothing to do with being smart it is just simple math
less time to complete a plant
less area needed to complete the plant
less energy needed to complete the plant ( lighting and evo controll)
less feed to complete the plant
here are the numbers run them yourself
photo
18/6 for 6 weeks for veggie ..........mh bulb or blue heavy leds
12/12 for 8 to 12 weeks for flowering .......hps bulb or red heavy leds
auto
20/4 for the veggie about 4 to 5 weeks .............does not matter they like both so a cob or full spec led works
20/4 for the flowering about 5 to 6 weeks ...........ditto
so a auto plant needs only 1 light in one area .......as where photos need 2 lights in 2 different areas so that means more support gear too
now u got the time factor of 10 to 12 for a auto to complete ........a photo 16-18 weeks to complete .......so a auto set up could do more strains and amount in the same area as a photo in a years period (that is always the key to good op to have the strains on a rotation so u are not selling 1 for 2 months ppl get tired of it want something new)....so that is less area needed over all for autos
now u want to talk effect and thc ratings we can ..........thanks to the breeders autos are as strong as the photos now and with the right lighting and feed plans they can produce higher amounts then they are rated for just like photos do ............again the majorary of the sales is REC they are only worried about the taste and the high effect
only medical strains are truly different when it comes to autos and photos.....that is the terepenes lvls they make i have chemical read outs of just that .......autos just do not have the time to form those high of doses as the photos can do
