I have to say that I am with JAAM. While autos have their niche, they are not what the serious mainstream growers generally grow. I do not believe that they save you money in any way. They require a 20/4 light schedule. The yield and quantity do not match photoperiod plants. They cannot be cloned, so you either need to make your own seeds or buy seeds every run. No saving that favorite pheno. Running clones can get you about the same turnaround, time-wise, with better yield and potency. You can run your lights 8 hours less a day. You have guaranteed females. There are simply a slew of advantages to running clones over autos, especially if your consideration is time.
