Nice piece on auto-flower, micro-grows. One thing we would like to mention is that auto-flower strains can be a lot less forgiving then photoperiod strains. They are going to flower at a certain time no matter what. So any issues during the grow will greatly impact the end results.
We haven't tried them yet because we like to control the veg / flower cycle with photoperiod (non-auto) strains.
And because we are not limited by space. So we would rather put out a couple ounces per plant even if it pushes the grow period out a number of weeks.
