    Nobody they are concerned about grows autos and the market for those is as small as those plants.

    Yes, I know autos aren’t tiny anymore, but they can’t pull 4 zips off of one as easy as an actual strain.

      ? There’s no difference between the end yield of autos and photoperiods. They even flower faster so you can get more.

      These aren’t you grandparents genetics.

      Also, why is the market different? Bud is bud lol.

        The amount you get off a plant is directly tied to interstitial node density and number, which autos can’t control. You have to do twice as many harvests to yield the same weight as a photo in the same period.

        Not to mention you can’t clone autos, so your genetics are way too variable.

        For personal use autos are a nice and easy option, not for commercial chasing consistency and yield per dollar. Some commercial growers will do auto for res, but all the flower grows are photos for good reason.

          Photos can veg longer, that’s why they have more nodes, which takes longer. You can have an auto done flowering in 6 weeks for harvests, most photos are 10. Autos can also grow for 6 hours more during veg, and 12 hours more during the night. These factors all help make it have the same yield in the same time frame.

          And when avoiding the cops you do whatever you can to avoid it, autos were essentially created for this exact reason dude.
