I stumbled on auto's from researching on the net before I started growing, and they just seemed perfect for me. I dont need a pound a plant.
Then I found u guys when I seen my first brown spot on a leaf, and went into a panic.
Same.
I decided I was gonna grow based on prices and what I knew I could do as a home gardener. I researched it, and when I read about autoflowers I was like oh, ok, this is exactly what I want. I don't have to mess with any light schedules. I just plant the seed and harvest when its done, easy peasy.
