All autoflower means is the plant will mature in the time specified regardless of light cycle. I have heard mixed reviews as far as potency and yeild.. but I have never grown one myself (Ive actually never grown weed.. LOL) But I have also been an avid smoker for years and have read about auto flowering strains in High Times.. lol... you would probably be best off going with a strong induca strain.. the low ryder strains are fairly forgiving for beginners so Ive heard.. and they stay nice and short which should work well for your set up. If you keep a close eye on your plants, and watch for signals they give you.. These things grow like weeds in optimum environments... keep the environment controlled.. you will grow like that in no time ;-) Just remember.. if you go cheap.. you will grow cheap!
