I dont think any single indoor operation could survive against the mighty sun. Where supply/demand comes to a a balance of course. But for now, as you experienced growers do, autos wont exceed empty slots of veg rooms or balconies, huh?
I agree. It will also take more adoption of LED technology as well, but that is starting to happen. It may happen when we see the right grower venture into new territory, I'm sure someone will try it, and as I say, in climates where greenhouses can run all or most of the year without lighting, it has a better potential of adoption.
My measurement advice fails indoors i know. However, legal indoor/greenhouse commercial production constitutes a really small part of the whole. Its all about ecomonics as it goes. Do u think it will take much time for south american countries to reap the benefits of currently monopolized us market? Think about Uruguay. They will be growing acres in no time.
The only thing that would keep autos from commercial use would be cloning. I expect that cloning would be the way a large commercial grow would run. Cloning can fill out a crop quicker and would provide consistent quantity and quality. It is my favorite way to produce a crop ATM.
Anyone know if this is a good assumption?? I am truly curious.
I think that's the best point yet.

My most recent grow of Tha Shiznit has me seriously re-examining this issue.
I have been doing cost benefit analysis for a while, trying to determine the best plan of action when our state becomes legal.
Until this last grow, I would have estimated a 200g max avg for an auto grown under my conditions.
I will definitely be watching the next round of auto strains, as I think it would be foolish to rule them out.
I am not saying I would only grow auto's, but I think, depending on the scale one is growing, auto's may provide a very good resource to expand your offerings.
Most people running cloning ops have a veg room that operates 18/6 -24/0 anyway. So why not devote some of that space to auto's.
