It depends of your conditions, guerilla growers in the north are very happy to have autos to be able to harvest in their short summer period. It can be useful for someone who don't have enough time to make a crop with photoperiods. They are not useful to you maybe but it doesn't mean they are useless to everybody. They allow some people to grow something when they couldn't grow photoperiods because they would get too big and be a risk because a lot of growers over the world are still growing illegally. Like it or not, autos have their place in today's growing world.fastbuds some of the worst ever aswell, autos are trash anyways in any form (absolutely nonsense, a photoperiod can do everything like an auto, but come out more resilient, stronger and tastier. Heck you can force flower outdoor plants too) but night owl/mephisto is decent stuff at least. Avoid autos by all means anyway
I've had a few autos freebees I've grown in my veg space and I've been surprised by the potency I got, it was some decent smoke, nothing extraordinary but it got me properly stone.
