Autoflowers outdoors?

Not really unless those genes were specifically used to breed the auto seeds you used. Just cause it's called the same name doesn't mean it's the same lineage.
Plus, with a photoperiod you'll have way longer veg time outdoors. So you're comparing apples and oranges.

Fuck yeah pure real deal unhybridised it would take ages like original haze and stuff like that

Well op Im up at 55 or 56 i think lattitude wise all i will say is there is harder places maybe to grow outdoors than Scotland but not many the rain wind n cold we get just wrecks most things literally autos are our best bet and semi autos for half decent summers and even then they gotta be early ones if its semi autos to stand a chance surprisingly people grow up to lat 61 but thats only some nordic countries

True the comparison is loose, at best, but at what point does one give up comparing two plants of the same strain? I'd imagine it's worth comparing the same strain from different breeders? Maybe not? Do you draw the line at Auto vs. Photo of the same strain since the Auto is technically a hybrid?

How different will an Auto version be compared to the Photo?

It's an interesting question to consider and I hadn't thought of it until now - we have all these seed banks giving us a strain name with the option for Auto or Photo so it conditions us (or me) to believe that the outcomes will be very similar, if not the same, with just different growing durations and/or yields...but how accurate is that expectation?

Unless its well made which few are then it wont be very close to the original your trying to recreate but with the day neutral trait rather than regular photo plants auto breeding good auto breeding is actually trickier to do well than breeding photo period stuff for many reasons the most obvious being u cant keep clones for one thing

My mom grew up in Malton so I spent summers in Yorkshire until I was 10. Lots of memories from Scarborough in June so I sort of have a sense for what you're talking about. Awesome you're able to grow in those conditions though.
