I've grown both auto's & fem's from loads of different breeders, nothing but hermies from fems and auto's just are not strong enough for my tastes, I'm a VERY high tolerence smoker and there is no room for any ruderaillis strains in my grows anymore. I never have any problems from regular seeds or clones so I know for a fact is not down to my error!!
And if your sayin all weed plants flower within 3 weeks of germ' then you obviously don't know that much here lol, I vegged my Tahoe OG for 11 weeks from seed before switchin to 12/12. And I have 4 CheeseQuake in veg 9 weeks from seed!! I say when they flower by flipping the light cycle to 12/12 why wouldn't you not want to be in control of your grow?? Auto's are only good for a smalltime outdoor crop IMO, they are pants and while ever people are buyin into the fad it will continue on.
