autos good for outdoors before the rains.
you can go inside the box any time of day in flower
indoors no control of flower
not really good with HST
no cloning
fear of rootbound
still strongest auto is weaker than a photo.
you can kind of do a perpetual grow but takes really good timing.

photos outside no control
indoors full control of when to flower
can clone or reveg the same strain you like for a long time.
rootbound just slows it.
strains up to 40%thc
clones make it faster than the fastest auto
perpetual grow with clones

You can HST autos just need the right strain (and there’s lots) and know how to grow plants fast.

The most potent autos I’d say beat the weak/mediocre photoperiods but strong photoperiods definitely trounce autos :)

Everything else you mentioned is spot on tho!

Autos have evolved - early offerings would stunt / stress at the drop of a hat. More “ breeders “ have improved the lines somewhat but still a crap shoot.

Autos will always have a place in indoor ir outdoor grows. They are like instant noodles just pop and play - no complicated grows or over the top feeding requirements. They are fantastic to fill in the time frame with standard photo grows - they can prosper in full veg cycle tents and in full flower tents.

Yes .

You can run them flat out under 18/6 veg tents until you flip and either leave them in there ( they are already flowering by then ) or move an established flowering auto into a 12/12 flowering tent .

Once stretch finished its in flower mode anyways.
I bump power up for the photo flowers during mid / late so the autos get that same power.

No Rules.
