Personally, I say no...but that's my own personal preference. I don't like the basic genetics of the autos...they all start with ruderalis genetics and that junk has no potency...so how can the end product be as good? But that's me...
Autoflowering seeds do take the guess work out of the lighting schedule as they will flower whenever they are ready, but I like to be able to "schedule" my flowering by turning it on when the plant is as mature as *I* want it to be.

If you notice the pics of my Red Cherry Berry, she is in hydro.
That was 10 days ago...she's a beast! I'm going to flip her this weekend.

I've smoked some pretty dank autos before. LOL. There are good ones and there are bad ones.
Whooo, I like the look of those seeds bro, thanks.

No prob man. And the good thing is it will only grow to be a little over a foot. Yield about 15g or so.

If you're thinking autoflowering just so you don't have to worry with switching the lights, size, etc... you can take many strains straight from seed into 12/12 flowering and you will harvest in about 10 weeks for most strains. Yield is lower than if you grew it out a little, but basically most seeds can be treated like an autoflower except that the lights only have to be on 1/2 the time (electricity saver!).

Something else worth mentioning about autos. You really can't clone them. So if you want to keep growing them do a seed run your first grow. The buds won't be nearly as potent, but they will still be smokeable and you'll get a few hundred seeds out of it.
