Sure you don't have to worry about light changes and they will flower when they want. So i guess you could say easier as you don't have to setup any timers. Easier to grow well it is still a cannabis plant so requires same care as a photoperiod so I would say the same.

The only thing easier about autos is you don’t have to worry about the lighting schedule. Many people, myself included, believe autos are a bad choice for beginners because any mistakes that are made will negatively affect the yield. With photo period plants you can at least veg them longer to give them time to recover from mistakes.

Even Mephisto, who only sells autos, doesn't recommend autos for beginners.

I'm liking their stuff but I wouldn't recommend any auto for a beginner. If you want a good yield it has to go real smooth.

Never grown indoor, chose autos. Plant never looked right, thought it would die any moment. Pulled 4 oz dry of incredible high smoke.

My first indoor grow was White widow from ILGM. I think it was a good choice. It grew itself. Grew many of them on the balcony in FFOF and hit them with Dr Earth bud once at week 3 or four if I remember it. Used 10-10-10 a couple times when I was hard up. Always get 3 to 5 ounces.
