I thought about putting this on another forum but I like Rollitup and seems to be a nice place to have a real review on Auto-Flowering with your views, concerns, and experiences with AFs since it is becoming such a large issue. I felt it was time someone started giving some REAL info on the subject from a long term view of the AF strains that have been made. Please join into the convo, but please we are adults here! keep it clean with inteligent views and ACCURATE information. I will do my best to help, and stay non-bias. Pictures of AF grows GOOD or BAD please post, I would love experiences of certain strains,, it will help everyone see what strains to stay away from and what is good.
Auto-Flowering cannabis can and will be good, you have to look at it in the point of view from a dedicated breeder. Most AFs released today are unstable shit, due to the fact that every wannabe breeder is trying to make a fast $ on the new way to grow your own cannabis fast. They create AF hybrids from unstable stock and call it a new variety when in fact is nothing but an unstable hybrid with a lot of variation. This is why a lot of reports of these strains are negative, except for the lucky few that get a good pheno.
Bad reports also stem from the fact that the Original LR#1 was not that great and had phenos that had very low potency. So, most people that see anything made from this parents must be bad aswell. This is way of thinking is far from true. Some breeders are taking the steps to get as far away from the Original AF parents as possible, making many many crosses over the last 7 yrs sinse Original LR#1 was made public. These new hybrids are the result of many years of hard work, adding the best quality of genetics to push out any bad traits from the Ruderalis parent but keeping the AF trait dominant.
I dont know why people pass judgement on all AFs strains when most of them haven't tried them all or even one of them and they think they know about all AFs and write a hatefull review on all AFs based on 1 bad experience. Most poeple haven't seen most of the Elite AFs as they are still being worked on or the breeders just don't want to share thier creations.
Please everyone remember, Auto-Flowering is in its infantcy, just look at the history of great stablized hybrids, Skunk#1, NL, Haze, and newer examples, C99, DeepChunk, and so on took many many years to stablize and show the quality they have today. The same can be expected from AFs.
Ive been around from the begining of the AF seed movement and I can tell a lot of AFs are crap for various reasons, BUT there are a few that are GREAT!! Better in quality then a lot of NON-AFs on the market today. The trick is to try and find them, I really dont like how the Dutch companies and others have setup this market of trying to make the most $$$ and as fast as possible on the lastest growing trend.
Why dont they just spend the time it takes to make a REAL stable hybrid that has quality, I mean what the hell happend to making stable strains where you dont have to by 10 packs to find the mother that was discribed in the breeders strain discription????? This goes for Non-AFs too!
As for AF-FEM seeds, IF MADE CORRECTLY are a valuable item! I will make another post on AF-FEM seeds below, or not, humm, as that is another part of the topic, i will see.
Well I hope this thread will help shed some light on the subject and be used as a tool for people to understand what AFs really are, good or bad.

I hope to see them by tomorrow or Thursday. I will probably keep them under 250w cfl for about 2 weeks then throw them in my flower tent (400-600w hps depending on the weather) for 12 hours and back under 250w cfl for another 4 (currently my veg tent is set to 16/8.)
