yea everyone is saying that lol whats the diff with auto's an regulars beside the veg/flowering bigger yields ? longer grow time ?
I think I've been pretty lucky with autos myself, the auto ak47's from Lowlife were ok, and the super critical autos from greenhouse were ok. But that's just it, they are simply ok. The strength isn't the same, you need a strong auto to match a weak regular plant. The look, feel and taste just isn't the same. I have also had two friends who tried them, having successfully grown regular strains previously, and they experienced shocking results - pitiful yields and the most bland weed ever.
With regular strains, after 2 years experience growing, I was able to produce weed the equal of the best I have ever seen/smoked (certainly a ton better than all the commercial stuff I have seen in the last 8 years). I decided to run some autos indoors once more however, as I had some seeds left over from the outdoor grow I had started - and even with my developed skills could not make them anywhere near the regulars. When I also realised I was using an extra 6 hours a day of electric, for this inferior bud, I decided to not cheat myself any more.
It's not as if regular strains are not actually auto flowering anyway - all you need is a dark room. They do the flowering themselves.
