Autos are better than photos

Yea Ive had great yield and quality rosin from autos, a few. Had one yield next to nothing. You can perpetuate from seed it just may not go perfect. Really its a space thing for me. Only have 24 square foot.

So I need clones and everything to go right and should have most if not all goals met. I need to get cloning down, just finished my 4th round. Root riots are my best rates at this point.

This thread is filled with terrible information and opinions from both sides.
This debate is useless. For some people autos are better for others photoperiod is better. There is no linear answer to this. It all depends on the grower and their specific needs.
I've grown autos for a long long time. I'd never grow an entire room of autos but they have their places outdoors and in veg/mom rooms. That's how I work in some extra weed out of rooms that run 18/6 or 20/4. That's how I personally do it but that's just how they work best for me. Doesn't mean that will be the same for someone else .... There's a lot of shitty auto genetics out there and people generally tend to buy cheap stuff. You get what you pay for. If you're a shitty grower, you will grow super shitty autos. Plain and simple. If you have a good understanding and knowledge on growing you can get some really nice weed out of auto flowers.

Seeing someone growing using exhale bags just puts the icing on the cake for me..... I'm out.

Yeah sort of the old PC vs Mac argument. My answer is, it depends :eyesmoke:and anyway you can grow weed, grow it

I 100% agree

Get (or make) an aerocloner. One of the best things I've ever done

If autos were so great, why are 99% of them reg strains with "auto" tagged on the end?
mother plants take up room you could be growing bud in
I'm flowering in my mother tent right now. I have that option with regulars.

It takes me 2 or 3 grows to start to get a grip on what a particular cultivar needs. Closest I got to perfect was Pineapple Fields, and I grew her for a year and some change. I decided to move on to explore what else is out there, mainly longer flowering sativas. I'm dipping my toes in the edge of that ocean with Mango C5 Haze. Should run close to 14 weeks if the genetics are legit. I have some lambsbread that will run 20+, but I have to learn some things before I take on that challenge...

These plants hold expressions that do not exist in ruderalis, at least as far as I am aware in my hundreds of hours reading tens of thousands of forum posts about the topic.

And when I feel like it, I will go back to Pineapple Fields to track down my favorite pheno because Professor P has done his due diligence in breeding a consistent line of 4 relatively unique phenos.

I have 2 points to add. 1 when you go to a store and buy bud do you ever see top shelf auto strains? 2 Every auto has hints of the same taste and flavor. I don't like it. I grow em to get some profit out of my veg lights
