it means that they are bread to flower as soon as they are able too.. in the most laymen way i could say it.
you can usually harvest auto flower plants 80-90 days from seedling

auto flowering suck. lowrider gonja dwarf pretty much. yield sucks about an ounce a plant. invest in some white widow or rino. if you grow right yield can excede a pound

Is white widow feminized a descent beginner plant?

i never grown ww... but i can say lowryders are easy to grow ..im doing 5 lowryder dwarf mix under a 400 HPS... if u have the right light u can get some good bud off them lowryders.........

but this summer im gonna be doing 3 Sour Diesel & 1 W.W, i always wanted to grow W.W

Autoflowers flower automatically regardless of the light regime. They are small and produce quite a bit if grown properly. I have grown many auto ak47's and they ARE NOT as good as normal strains. They do work though and are very good for keeping your stash box full.

As everyone else said, auto-flowering flowers even without a 12/12 light cycle. The suggested light time is about 18/6 from what i've read. You can go down to 16/8 after a while with no effect in yield. Do some research on that part if your interested.

white widow is okay. but idk if the extra money for fem. is required. just go regular and pull out the males. itll save u some cash

im growing b52 at the mo and am going to start on ak47 lowryder soon, i read that it was pretty easy plant to grow but personally i think you need to learn how to grow a normal plant before you start growing the easier stuff because then you get to know more about the light cycles and all the other stuff that you may not pick up from growing an autoflowering plant for the first time. peace out (H)
