Autos Have Their Uses
and there are a lot of poor breeders in the market right now. Autos are generally not for indoor, though there are times when femmed autos would have helped me out a lot. ;) Lots of people experience the lag between popping beans and harvesting a photo, having some autos running ensures a crop before you go into flower with some clones. :)
Biggest issue with autos is the first 3 weeks have to be excellent conditions. The stronger the skills of the breeder, the stronger and healthier the seeds will be. You still have to give them a perfect childhood to reach top yields. Photos you can just veg a couple more weeks if you messed them up. :)
Yes, much finickier in a few respects. :D
(Edit: Check out After Thought Autos for an example of a solid and unique Autoflower breeder. ;) )
