I don’t quite understand people coming to the autoflower forum to trash autoflowers. We know why we’re reading here, right?Autos are only worth growing if you are looking for an outdoor harvest during the off season times of year. Buying genetics is a hit and miss game and autos won't give you the hits that photos will.
If you want high quality potent cannabis grow photos > autos
As far as growing outdoors, not great advice, at least in my region. I and several of my friends have had poor results growing autos outside in the New England environment this summer. These girls do best with more light than nature can give, around here at least. The minimum I’ve done is 18 hours. I’ve found them much better in controlled indoor environments.
There are lots of good reasons to grow autos. I currently am growing both photos (outdoors) and really enjoy growing and consuming autoflowers. The diversity is an appeal, as much as the lack control and inability to clone is a deterrent.
Potency concerns are a myth. Or at least they’re plenty potent to keep this 40+ year smoker happy and impressed. At some point, how much does a tiny fraction matter, especially when the bud density and other factors are often superior?
There’s room for all tastes.
