Gawd thats far from the truth there are some great autos out on the market
yeald check out auto pounder,think different and magnum all can yeald well over a pound in **GREAT** conditions ive done very well with these
And for great autoflwer smoke there is demost,blue mammoth,narcotic kush,hash plant there are a few others that are not comming to mind all these i have grown and or smoke and are top shelf smoke (WHEN GROWN RIGHT)
i have an autoflower out there on the market that is a f1 hybrid (Magnum X Narcotic Kush) called Narcotic Mustache its not feminized its a reg i beleve by releasing autos in non feminized seed they are more stable less phenotypes the Narcotic Mustache has 2 phenotypes Narcotic Mustache was featured Skunk Magazine over the winter full page wright up
With all of that said they have to be grown in good conditions mellow soil lots of the right spectrum of light 18-20hrs and the right amount of nutrients my experience with autos is dont give them any nutes till week 5 and only give them 1/2 strength all the way through flower autos really just want to do their thing and be left alone even more than photoperiods
