Well the Pros do a very different type of growing than we do and its mostly photos as control over them is greater than autos. But I think I see what you mean. What is preferred by craft growers varies as much as they do. I dont buy the greater yield from photos view just from experience, autos produce just as well given the time factor. Cant really compare a plant that takes 20 weeks to complete verses one that takes 10 yet the longer light periods make autos viable. In the end its all about the light. Mainlining an auto is risky, might want to try it on a trash plant you dont care about first, dont have to flower it just see the process. Otherwise I wont touch mainlining mainlining autos though some do well with it I think we may not see the failures if you know what I mean. You can produce just as much with much gentler methods. Outdoors it all depends on your climate in end its all about the light. Good luck

I think it's just a matter of preference that is all. Some people love autos and some people love photos. I haven't done any autos myself but I plan on doing both. Get the best of both worlds then. I'll one tent (the big tent) with photos. And I'll run autos in the small tent(small space can get away with 4 autos vs 2 photos). Photos have more strains and variety. Autos are newer and lots of new auto strains come out all the time. Debatable I guess but usually photos have higher thc percentages. Auto plants are recommended to be lsted only and photos are do what you want with them type deal. So they you have it lol, a little info have fun and happy growing.

Hellou, it all depends on your needs and possibilities! I prefer autoflowers for my outdoor grows because I am surrounded by other houses so I prefer shorter and fastest plant for example.. You just need to know that you can't mainline an autoflower because you have few time of veg, try LST instead it will be better. If you need your weed to be ready asap I will go with autoflowers if you have some time to spend like 6/7 weeks of veg and then starring flowering you could try to mainline a photoperiod, choice is yours my friend. ☀️
