I’m new tho this site, but have been growing along time. Why do 80-90% of growers on here grow autos? Is because of contests on here? I don’t have a lot of auto experience a couple times I planted a freebie seed that came with a order. Wasn’t impressed.pic of seed collection

Hello. Yes I wondered about that when I first joined too. I think it is convenience, the set and forget type mentality. I find a lot of beginners grow them as well. 90 days start to finish and can't take much training. Perfect for beginners and lazy people who just want something decent to smoke. It is also a trend. Seed banks in North America still sell fem and regular seeds more than autos. I won't enter a contest that is sponsored by a auto seed co. but a lot of people will. Are autos a GMO. You have to buy your seeds every time. Cloning scares most people who can't figure out a 2 stage system. They need 1/2 the nutrients a photo needs so it's cheaper to run but you spend your saved money buying more auto seeds??? I find most of the older or more poplar growers grow mostly photos. I won't grow autos because of Mighty Mite. I tried it back in 1999 and was pissed that I couldn't clone it first try and then the second try 1 took and just finished 2 weeks after the mother. Thanks for the rant. Good luck. Chuck.

Ive had a few good autos but photos pack more punch in my experience. If this were A skatepark, photo growers ride skateboards, auto growers ride scooters.

Because the companies can make more money with autos. They can’t be cloned, they advertise them as superior and “fast”... ppl think they’ll get herms with photos if they don’t grow perfectly, so beginners think going autos will be better it won’t herm with light leaks.. lots of reasons that are mainly bullshit. Sure they have they’re place in certain circumstances. I try to get it thru ppls head that photos are far superior, but ppl will learn eventually. I do think there will be a point in the future years that autos will be better. Problem is breeders aren’t refining genetics, just chucking pollen and calling em high quality genetics. Undesirable ruderalis traits are still coming thru, they haven’t bred them out.
