I've never personally grown an auto strain because I've always heard they were weak and i just don't like growing from seed, but recently i got to experience my first auto grow.
I've got an elderly patient that i am teaching to grow so i figured a autoflowering strain would be perfect for her first grow because of how easy they are. I gave her a few Flash Babylon seeds that i scored for free somewhere which i can't even remember. Got her all set up in a small closet with six 26w cfl bulbs, a small fan, a 3 gal smart pot and Happy Frog soil on a 20/4 photoperiod. The plant thrived under those conditions and bushed out nicely without any training. It stayed healthy and green with nothing but straight water until harvest, which took much longer than the breeder pack suggested. The yield was a hair over one oz, not bad for 6 cfl's and no nutes...
The dried/cured results were awful imo, the bag appeal way ok i guess but a complete lack of pleasant terpenes ruined it for me. Although my patient claims the potency was on point, i was only able to take one hit off a joint before i was disgusted with its stale popcorn taste...
