i see nothing wrong with autoflowers....... not everyone wants to grow 500 plants and not everyone even has the room......autoflowers are great cuz you can grow year round outside, or if you are limited on space and can only have one grow box you just set the lights at 18/6 and you can plant more seeds and put them in there whenever you harvest some.......or whenever you feel like it. i know these strains aren't for everyone, but they do serve a purpose..........there are pro's and cons.................
