All:
I understand some of the benefits to a autoflower strain, but in general could not one achieve the same or better results if using a modified 12/12 from seed light cycle. I have read some of the threads on a 12/12 cycle from seed, and for better yields a couple weeks in a 18 or 20 cycle and then switching to 12/12 can improve the yield and quality significantly. So putting aside those extra couple weeks why not just do so, as opposed to using autoflowers?.
