Not at all - Ruderalis just means auto flowering. The plant realeases the flowering hormines by knowing how long the plant has been alive, not from the light change to 12/12 where a normal plant would measure the un-interuppted dark cycle to release the flowering hormone.

All auto flowerings strains have ruderalis in them - it's not used for it's own charactoristics by anyone, they just use it's auto flowering ability.

But, to use the auto flowering ability you have to cross your strains, pick the best from the seeds, breed them and carry on untill you've got the resin production you want, the hight, look, and the autoflowering traight in all seeds. My own cross as ruderalis skunk in it, but not all of the seeds ahve got the ruderalis traight. I'd have to stabalise it before they'd all auto flower.

Ruderalis is a great- much easier to grow, and you can have more than one outdoor harvest. They also tend to be fairly hardy, so they're very good for beginners - not to mention you havnt got to worry about light times.
