That being said, there are always a few diehard photoperiod guys that even if the auto was stronger,wouldn't admit it.From a grower standpoint, I vouch for autos any day.The convenience and quality alone get my vote.Is the Gelato strong? Oh yeah, but I have had some autos just as strong.The characteristics that some photoperiods posses for example unique aromas,flavors and highs make them desirable and to shorten that growth cycle capturing them in auto form is ideal.
