We seem to skirt around the topic of Autos but I thought I’d throw it out there.
I’m slowly, maybe more rapidly starting to like them as a portion of one’s grow/garden.
I’ve had a few, and thought about them a bit. Initially they were freebies with purchases, then selected freebies to now considered purchases.
From an indoors perspective I’d imagine you can grow them with vegging photos, no? This would give a degree of flexibility, and better use scarce resources (space, tents and lights)? If I ever set up inside, it would mainly be for a mother or cuttings, so an auto would fit in?
Outdoors, I tend to think if you can nail a perfect transplant (if required) and give them a good sized pot with excellent growing medium, they’ll develop to their maximum potential. A perfect transplant to me is before root bound starts whilst still in excellent vigour, and excellent vigour resumes within 3-5 days after transplant.
One’s I’ve done in the past, have not got that get up and go, resulting in a small low yield female. This year I grew two 100g females in ~90 days, that finished in December. This appeals to me as you can plant in warm spring, and finish flowers in very hot spring, early December, which on the sub tropical east coast means usually dodging the incoming rain and humidity.
Anyway, I’ve probably got more thoughts, but see what everyone thinks.

. I'd say if you had space in your veg tent then it would be a great idea to chuck some autos in too
I had some really small diesel Ryder and lowryder 2 back when autos were new but my recent experience across 5 strains inside and some more outside has been overall good. 150 to 250g a plant
