Autos photos... I'm always long.
And yes, if your set up for a mother and clones then autos aren't going to gain you anything.
But autos do have other benefits. Since I'm not selling, a little genetic variation can be a good thing. I don't need to have a veg and flower tent. And probably the one that keeps me coming back.... I'm spoiled with having the lights on in flower for 20 hrs.
Have seen a lot of northern lights autos threads go past on here... had one myself almost 2 years ago, seems that strain is a hard one for most if not all breeders to get locked down in an auto.
If you want to see the dragster of the bunch, look for sour crack from mephisto.
