Are these autos even worth space?

Over several orders I've picked up some auto seeds as freebies. Are these even worth taking up space or even the hassle of growing outside? I have plenty of good photo grown buds in jars to last me for awhile, and harvest time is not far off for some more (3 days to 2 weeks). Here are the freebies:

* Dinafem Cheese Auto
* WoS NL X Bigbud Auto
* CBD Sedes Auto Lavender

I'm debating to crack them or leave them until the zombie apocalypse.

all i can say is : my clients hated it

never again.

imo , its like the ruderalis fucks up the flavor of everything it touches.

I have a few from some freebies as well.
I am thinking of running them in my veg tent with my other plants and just letting them go all the way.
It might be kinda fun to see what happens.
I'll probably have to run my tent 24/0 because I've never flowered anything in there and I don't know if I might have some light leaks or holes.
It's currently on 18/6, but I'm not sure how sealed it is for flowering.

Anyway...it would be fun just to see what happens, or increase your yield using some veg space to get another plant worth of bud.

I have grown the NL X Big Bud auto, and it was very nice. Nice yield, easy to grow, and good smoke.
I have not done the cheese auto, but if it as good as the regular, or even close, it will be decent smoke. They are definitely worth growing, smoke is good. I've read some of your posts, and believe you have enough growing experience that you should get an ounce and a half to two ounces from a good auto if not more. They don't yield like photo's obviously, but They aren't shit either like most people claim. I harvested a couple of auto's last week, and looks like I will have close to a quarter pound when dry. If everything goes good, I will harvest 10 auto's about mid July and then in Sept. early Oct. I will harvest my photo periods. Can't say that I have smoked an auto that sucks. A couple were decent, but not super which I can't remember the names, but 2 years ago I grew World of Seeds Afghan Kush Ryder, While not great yields from it, The smoke ripped you a new asshole.

So the real question is....has anyone personally ever found true dank in autos?
I've grown about ten different auto strains, never found dank and the smoke was D+ . Worst auto I've grown was the Auto Mazar (Dutch P), it looked like a tomato plant and smelled oregano, maybe it was good for a salad but not for smoking..the better autos Ive found them in Dinafem (auto haze v.1) and in DNA (60 days Wonder) but even there was mediocre..

I had a few freebie autos in my seed container so I threw them into the veg room.

At harvest they went straight into the hash pile after a sample. No idea how anyone smokes that shit...4 autos and they all sucked, lacked potency and taste was blech.

Grow real cannabis not glorified hemp
 
Its more a matter of wasting time ...
With auto you got way les chance to find dank pheno and you cant even clone it ....
so fars with all reg seed i start i always find 1 pheno that i love and enjoy ....
with auto i got 2 nice pheno but i cant clone it so use your logical Auto = waste of time ... All the real grower say the same ^^
But if you growin in a really limited space maybe they hot their place ...


P.s sorry for my english :P

Yeah, I guess, if you have space in your veg room that can't be occupied by something better (photo). Or, if you can guerrilla grow them outside somewhere.

Any autoflowering fan boy claiming they're almost equal is simply wrong and should be ignored completely. Even autoflower breeders admit the photoperiod versions are always superior.

I've grown a few mentioned in this thread (outside). It was only good for hash/edibles. Largely terrible quality smoke.

They offer 0 advantage inside. None, at all. Unless you consider toggling from 12/12 to 18/6 a disadvantage. I consider it a non issue.
