AutoFlowers 2 Seeds 1 Bowl

So basically they actually flower faster than a conventional plant?

They flower under 18/6 or 24/0 so you don't have to change the photo period. This is a big benefit to outdoor growers at high latitudes as it means their plants will start to flower and finished based on when they are started rather than beginning to flower in August and not finishing properly.

Other potential advantages of autos is that they tend to stay small and can be flowered in a window.

I'm sort of intrigued about whether the difference is significant enough to warrant the obviouos loss in yield over a conventional plant. Is the flower time drastically shorter or are we talking 2 weeks or less?

I don't think you are looking at less time than flowering a clone, but you can't buy a clone from Seed Boutique or flower clones with window light during the spring or summer. Additionally, a lot of clones won't finish outside in northern climates.

Does the ruderalis in it affect potency? Once again sorry for the newb questions its just alot of times the subjective forums contain little to no real info thats factual, only opinions.

I hear there are getting more potent, but probably not as potent as most non-autos.

No cloning since the clone would be the same age as the mother plant and already be flowering by the time you could get a good size clone from her. Then it wouldn't have enough time left for the clone to finish Flowering properly for any yield..

And super cropping or topping needs time to recuperate and regrow, you would already be in flowering stage ( most autos only veg for a couple of weeks) and this would take energy away from the flowering stage
