I wouldn't necessarily call a light cycle of 24 hour a day start to finish a benefit. Because when the lowryder is flowering your using 12 extra hours a day of electricity.
You can easily just find a non-automatic feminized strain that flowers early, and veg them for a few weeks. For about the same time start to finish, You'll get a little bit more weight, and higher quality bud for about half the electricity cost.
I think the only benefit of having an Auto-flowering plant is when your growing out doors. You can pop those seeds as soon as the weather gets warm, and have your self a nice and short stature (easily concealable) harvest before the summer even starts, and possibly a few more harvests before the summer ends.
Iv grown lowryder indoors and out. Iv noticed Out-door quality was much better/unique then In-door quality. The taste, smell, and high were magnified and they finish too fast for any real infestation or disease to set in.
