consistency in size

your right perfect for the hobbyist at the mo once genetics get sorted out can see them being handy in Hemp for instance inbreed a bit of cold resistance and maybe a early cropper so they can get two harvest a year. Commercial uses cuttings, seeds need COA for each plant which would make it costly strange you would think a batch test sufficient at the end of 4th week there all over the place size wise Reckon there's about 8 /10 days growth difference between them, so may possibly even up a bit strange seeing a plant just sit there then suddenly OH yes got a job to do an start growing

Personally I think autos are amazing for trying before you buy. You can have dozens of autos going, whereas with a cyclical grow that I run; it's hard to introduce a new strain that hasn't been put through the wringer and tested. Imagine having 4+ pounds of pretty meh weed lol. I think at the moment autos are perfect for hobbyists but in regards to commercial growing I would still take a good photo period strain any day of the week over attempting an auto commercial grow. I dunno though, maybe there are farmers out there who run autos as their main crop but it's still new territory. Autos haven't even made it into other farming produce as far as I know so their future is assured, autos aren't a fad.

Yes some strains will be xxl and some very small, Just grow the same strain or try to pick similar ones by breeders estimate and grow them with lst or scrog. It can be done.

Hi Mospeada can see Autos being handy and have picked up on popularity, though feel there a way of getting size right Strange things have a better feel for feminised at least can train them before a flip not into breeding prefer the green and theres just so many seed banks, will leave that one

Make your own seeds from a good pheno uhh but with autos I don't know how you'd know it is a good pheno before flower lol. Maybe make your own seeds from a well known high yielding auto that has a proven track record. Google colloidal silver and cannabis to find out how to self pollinate a plant
