I would like the smaller plants, and to not have to worry about the 12 on 12 off. Actually Autos could have many advantages.
I have grown really good looking plants that actually produced as much weight as photoperiods. They ended up taking 4 months and ut was harsh tasting. And the quality was lacking. So far all but one variety has been lacking. But 100% of my photoperiods has been productive and high quality. I am not a auto hater, I just seem to not be in tune with them. With many many photoperiod grows being ALL GOOD. I feel very little need to waste much more time and money trying to figure out autos.
To each their own....
I have good quality lights and this one little plant was only a small thing.. to try to analyze it at this point beyond it just being an anomaly is silly.
But I have dealt with anomaly after anomaly with autos, it is always something. With photoperiods you plant the seed give it good light and water and a little nutrition and I get great medication. Like I said with autos it is always something..... seems to never end. I did not mean to start this argument.
But I tend to agree "ditch the autos"
Fini....
