im sorry but 12 weeks for an auto is absurd, my diseals took 66 days to finish. once your over 70 days with autos it just doesnt make sense not to run regular strains , 12 weeks for upper mid grade potency? rater have genuine ak-47 done at under 50 days from clone. whats happening to autos, are they taking longer then ever to finish now? even mandazig says sour sixty is now more sour 70
think its more to do with when you like to chop ya plants as above ^^^
i can only speak for myself
i have 1 grow space and no room for mother plants so the perpetual grow and harvest thing appeals more to me and with new strains getting bigger harvests, 3-6 oz per plant every 4-5 weeks would do me nicely
as for potency im yet to see what my current grow has to offer but the thought of the white widow x snow white has got my dick real hard and she takes 3 months to grow so i could potenially get 2 harvests in before she is ready to chop all under the same lighting schedule all in the same tent and without the added extra cost of running a vegging room
just my opinion though
The appeal of the auto flower to me is it's relative ease of growth, and they really seem to enjoy the outdoors. So it's nothing to throw a few on a roof deck, give them some nutes every other day, cut on them when you can. And in 60 days you have some pretty good smoke that most of your lower tolerance friends will enjoy. I like having the option of giving someone a nice mellow high, or destroying them. They are also nice for someone new to learning about growing cannabis, as they are very forgiving.
I could have cut them at 9 or 10 weeks but they were still packing on so much bud I wanted to leave them. Also I had started more seeds and had germination failure so didn't have more ready to go under the light. Had the new seedlings been ready I would have taken them at 11 weeks.
I also don't have space to maintain a mother plant and no place to buy clones. My goal is to have the next batch sexed and ready to go under the light as soon as the previous batch are done. I'm looking to harvest 6 plants every 8 weeks from dwarfs or 4 plants of supers. Soon as I get this batch dried and weighed I'll have a better idea of yield but I'm hoping for at least 8 ounces from this batch.
I tend to like a little more balanced high which is another reason I leave them a little longer.

I think the 60 day finish is more of a marketing ploy. I've grown about a dozen auto strains over the past 3 years and have yet to have any finish that fast. Granted, all but the current batch were grown outdoors, which always seems to take a week or two longer.
