I wonder if when they do come up with a af category, how will they make sure that the bud the grower brings actually autoflowered, and or is the same bud in a journal.
I saw your invitation in the response section nicely worded, you represented the AFN well imho.Hi, take this as I did, it is an opportunity to educate a fellow grower. I dropped him an email and invited him to AFN so he could see for himself what Autos can bring to the grower community. It was a respectful correspondence with the aim of educating. I also have to remain mindful that HT is in the business of selling mags and online ad space, and controversy sells. Part of me wonders how much he's just poking the bear to get a response. That said, he did display his lack of insight with tremendous clarity.

Okay High Times ... Here we go
1)
Answer: Wrong. Growing a photoperiod plant is much easier, Autos can get 4 harvests a year, potency of autos is up there with photoperiod (testing at around 20% thc)
2)
Answer Wrong

Probably around 1000g dry wrong!! in around 80 days Wrong!
I feel like posting:
"1991 called and wants it's opinion back."
I think it's probably a "Desire for inclusion to an admired group" thing.
It's sycophantic. He wants inclusion into a dialogue with "hero-status" photo growers but he has
no authority in that dialogue so he defers to and emulates other's opinions in order to gain authority.

The Highlife cup has an auto category:

Don't know about any others having an auto category :dunno:
...well, now I know where all the Flat Earth Society members went,... :roflcry: Well, said folks! ....Trap my brudda, that was a first rate B-slapping! And this crystallizes it perfectly-
--"1991 called and wants it's opinion back."
....I'm flabbergasted by the sheer tunnel vision ignorance (possible stupidity too) behind such an assessment by this clown,... volumes of arguments contradicting this on both factual and perceptual levels could be generated, but that aside, even one sideward glance at the big picture should have been enough for him to revise his opinion,... consider how large the market has become for auto's,... this is no fad, passing fancy, or novelty,...incontrovertible fact: many of the largest and/or best Seed companies worldwide are pouring millions of dollars into R&D, and marketing of auto's, to say nothing of the legions of smaller companies getting in on the act,... when I first joined here, I got my beans from Single Seed's, which at that time had 9 pages of choices,.. 2 short years later, it's 21 pages and growing! Now, there are all manner of specialty products geared toward auto growing as well,... All this doesn't happen with companies just following some whimsical fad, cashing in on a temporary trend, not in this industry,... meantime, more scientific testing and verification is building on potency, efficacy, etc.,... that gap is closing rapidly, and while photo's might always have an slight advantage on sheer THC%'s, we all know there's much more to the intoxication effects than just %THC,... the yield gap is closing too, at least for indoors; many auto strains can get as large as is desired for ID growing,...***.... So, it's great to have choices, and pro's and con's come with the territory, but Auto's have found a valid, established niche,... always, there will be fools, haters, old school curmudgeon's, for whom it's hopeless to counter-argue, no matter how glaring the factual objective truth is,...I fear calling them out will only make them flap their arms harder, but for those looking for a challenge,.... :brow: :Cheers:
