Are autoflowers good?

Ok.. I'm still not sure on these. I'm a noob but are autoflower plants good? Smaller, faster growing plants that produce lower THC is what I read I think..

How fast do they grow?

How much do you harvest per plant?

How strong is the high? This is really my main question, because I read they were lower in THC but have been crossed with better breeds for a better high.

What autoflower strains do you like?

Sorry if this is a dumb thread post. I kinda know this stuff but I wanna get some feedback on my own to see what people say. I'm a noob and only on my first grow.

Yes.
Fast. 65-75 days.
20-30 grams per plant depending on pheno and hybrid dominance.
The highs are legit and just like other Dank strains.
I LOVE White Express and Rapid Afghan! great strains!

No stupid questions. That's what we are here for. Find a Skunk hybrid or something comparably stable. Auto's are easy. read a few reviews on popular starins and you'll find somethng to suit your setup/needs. Stay Crunchy! Crunch*

I am loving auto's. I have a NYCD that is fantastic and will rip your head. The 20-30 grams per plant is pretty right on. I average a little over an ounce per plant when dried and cured. I am finding that the perpetual garden with auto's is pretty easy and rewarding. I harvest 2-3 plants per month while I usually start around 6-8 at a time. Males and weaklings usually knock me down 50%.

YES auto's are great, especally for first time growers because of there shirt growing time. You dont really get in over your head with auto's. Time: obv depends on the strain but 60-80 days is good to say for any plant. My auto's are 50 days old and some are almost done and some have a couple more weeks to go. But wow do they ever grow like weeds, auto's have been my favorite for watching plants grow, they explode!! Mine doubled in size in 5 days, so much packed into one little seed :). Per plant is what everyone has said so far 20-30 grams, some plants are less and some are way more, deoends on the growth of your plant. Mine are looking at getting more then a ounce on each plant. The high is the same as a regular plant, the less THC dna of the plant has been breed out after years of perfecting the auto flower plant. Any auto flowering strain is good really, look at the high and the yeild and such and pick one that suits you.

I highly recommend auto's for you, there fantastic. Check out my auto grow, there almost done. Links under my signature, the last page on there has recent pictures. Hope this helps and good luck

I think they are superb for new growers, and if you pick a good strain some folk cant tell the difference between auto/photoperiod weed. I wouldnt want to only grow autos, that said I also find them extremely useful for filling in gaps in the years grow schedule.

I grow auto-dwarfs as well. I got a 18 station set up in a 2x4tent.. Working on having a harvest every week.. I don't see the problem there.. Work at breeding your own seeds.. So worth it!!

My regular NL is definitely more potent than my auto NL's. I loved growing autos. It was fun and fit my situation. Growing auto's is not necessarily easier. There's less room for error. Once the plant goes into flower which is very quickly you live with your mistakes, you can't grow over them so much as is possible with a plant in veg.
