Yes very good way to look at it. I wonder if you could use 16 or 20 ounce cups and not restrict the roots on a fast auto plant. The fast turn over would give you yield instead of large pots.
I can't remember his name but there used to be a sticky thread here of someone who grew that way and got good yield. They've changed moderators and he unstickied some of the stickys.
24/0 if you are interested in breeding the thing look at the other site and I have some info for you there. Hate to see such fine genetics go to waste. Short Term Amnesia would be a strong cross. They tend to go longer than 60 days and are potent. Sour 60 would be good too. No matter what you ought to make at least 40-50 seeds say one small bud.
I think your referring to the thread ICC used to have on here...it was a good thread and proved SOG is the way to go with autos... but i wrote you back on the other site bro
