Autos vs Photos

I just look at how they help me use my space to the best of my ability. Since they like light like a vegging plant my veg lights don't bother them and they can be in the same area.

So starting a auto every month and having space for 3 is another plant a month to me...

I'm growing an auto and some photos for my first grow. IMO photos are easier because you can mess up and take time to let the plant recover.
Have you been able to compare the final results from auto vs a photo and do you have any opinions on how they smoke?
I may be getting a few auto seeds and I am wondering if the bud is different from an auto with the rudimalis ( spelling?) genes vs a straight photo. I like indicas.

I don't really see much of a difference. In fact, based on smell, the Mephisto autos of my current grow seem like they are going to be stronger than the photos I'm also growing.

Auto flowers are the simplest way to grow cannabis in the shortest time possible. You can mimic this with photo period plants (SOG) but auto flowers behave like this on their own regardless of what you do. Shorter growth cycle is very tempting for a lot of different reasons.
You can run photos 12/12 from seed and get better results than with autos. Autos are like a grenade with the pin pulled. No benefits at all.
