Only thing I dislike about auto's is they require 50% more power due to the constant 18/6 light schedule they see through flower. That makes a big difference with my setup. Also they are not clonable so thats a lot of seeds to buy.
yeah, but the 18/6 or 20/4 schedule makes them flower in 6 weeks as opposed to 8, so its just a trade off.
also, yeah the price of seeds is crazy, but you could easily cross-sex a female and get a ton of fem'd seeds. it's not all that hard and you have a green thumb, and its super cheap. i did it first try, and 420fieds about to do it in a few weeks. there are advantages to going the seed route, but yeah, I went right back to cloning afterwords because its easy, steady and reliable.
i just don't have enough room to do everything i want.
