The autos are way easier to deal with for sure. My tallest was 5 feet but lanky, most stay in the 2 - 3ft range. I give each ~9 sqft which allows for space between but they can be stuffed down to 4 sqft each or less if remove branches. There are some seriously good genetics available in the autos. The best part for me is getting them all hung and dried in the heat of the summer and not having to worry about rains/snows/frosts/humidity for fall harvesting.
