Are Auto Strains Worth Growing?
When it comes to cannabis cultivation you have two types of plants to choose from, photoperiod seeds and autoflower seeds. I mentioned above some of the benefits of growing autoflower strains but I feel this need some more details so you have a good idea on all the benefits of these amazing plants.
Benefits:
Easy to grow - Plants know when to automatically switch from vegetative growth, to flowering.
Autoflowering strains are low maintenance and require less attention so beginner growers have the chance to gently learn about growing.
Doesn't need a specific light schedule - You won't have to mess with timers or play around to get your lighting just right. In other words, no light manipulation is required.
Smaller grow size - This allows you to grow more than one strain at a time.

Cons:
Smaller yield than photoperiod plants.
You can't clone auto seeds.
Cost more than photoperiod counterparts because you can't make clones.
Buds taste is not as potent as photoperiod plants.
In my opinion, the benefits of growing autoflowering strains far outweigh the cons which is why this site focuses solely on the autoflowering strains. Yes, you cannot clone autoflowers, but you get that from seed to harvest much faster.
Do Auto Seeds Have Lower THC Levels?
The above question has sparked many debates in the marijuana industry. The truth is that once upon a time the autoflowering version of marijuana plants did have less THC. The THC levels were significant in auto strains so they were less desirable.
Improvements in seed production have shortened the gap between photoperiod strains and auto flowers THC levels. Some growers say they cannot feel a difference between photoperiod and autoflower plants but on the other hand, you have the marijuana aficionados that say they can.
As we mentioned above, lower THC levels doesn’t mean your weed is going to suck. With faster seed to harvest time and decent quality yields, autos are great for experience and first time growers. So go pick your favorite autoflowering strain and get planting today.

Good for Indoor Grows
Smaller grow sizes can be seen in both a negative and positive light, no pun intended. Smaller sizes allow you the ability to have a grow setup without needing a giant grow tent taking up your whole room. Having a smaller grow space benefits from not having your plants stink up your entire living space and are much easier to manage. It's good to start small and then work your way up from there as opposed to investing thousands of dollars in grow equipment that you may never use again. I can tell you from experience, grow equipment does not hold its value.
