Since some autos don't even have the word "Auto" in their name.

New Grower Do dispensaries/street dealers sell auto's? Also, are autos specified as auto's or just the strain l

I think it's up to each dispensary. Most don't list anything like that, they often do not know themselves. I'm sure there are some who do list it as they want to be as open about their medicine as possible. Now that folks are out there looking for CBD strains there will most likely be better labeling in the future.
I doubt any dealer would say something is an auto, unless someone is asking specifically for autos. Then they'd hand them a bag of anything and say this one's an auto. :no:

I picked up some Magnum in Portland, OR. It was pretty good smoke too. Very pretty to look at! They did not list it as an auto. The bud tender had no idea of what Autos are but the owner/grower was there and we talked about the Magnum being an auto. I haven't seen or heard of any photos called Magnum either.
I can see no real world advantage at all for someone who can legally grow Cannabis under lights to use autoflowering strains.
Variety?
Possible extra med benefits?
Cost Savings? Less time under lights, less nutes
Not everyone who grows canna wants to commit an entire room to it. In my cab, I can grow 3 autos or 1 photo under 1 light.
Autos for variety. - 3 strains in 10- weeks rather than 1 photo in 16.
Saying that.. there are people here who out yield photos (g/pw over time) with autos. quite a few of em
there's some "real world" advantages for you!
I can get more bud per square foot per month using Autos than photos. If you factor in the growing time as well as the space your using, autos can't be beat.

Let's keep the topic to what the original poster asked please. If you want to discuss your view on this (and you are most certainly entitled to your opinion,) you may create your own thread. Sound fair?
Thank you!

yes they do. i seen a guy that said he sales autos to dispensaries and is turning twice the profit normal growers that are growing photos. its really simple if you can get a photo thats 15% thc to grow in 120-140 days and there's autos that have the same THC% or higher that grow in half the time which would you pick? i believe 5-10 years ago it was a different story but the auto breeders have really change the game around. autos are everywhere now its just a shame people feel that have to hide it because autos USE to have a bad name. if you got a experienced well skilled grower like Tang for instance you probably couldn't tell his autos from photos, from a business perspective its more plausible to grow top brand autos. of course wont find alot of Top of the line stains in auto form but i believe that will change very soon. but their are only so many strains that's 20+ thc% so the rest are pushing 12-20% which is the range you find most autos now days, and you take time into factor autos would be the way to go. afghan kush ryder is pushing 20% thc narcotic kush is said to be 22% so is cash crop i just got a lemon haze auto from Emerald Triangle that says 23%. i believe that autos are around more than people give them credit for, just my opinion. come on just look at the jump in auto sales the last 2-3 years, i dont think its only the people here at this site buying up all the seeds.lol

Sorry for brief responses, I respectfully disagree...
12/12 is less time under lights for 6 out of 10 weeks. 18/6 is very expensive and much worse for the environment.
You can easily grow a photo (3 strains) in 10 weeks. You can flower from week 3 under ideal conditions if you wish.
Out yielding will mainly relate to strain/luck of the pheno I think as much as anything else. A good grower versed in both grow styles (auto/photo) will always maximize yield.
If you need CBD you can get specific strains (with far greater CBD content up to 5pct) so there is no medical benefit. Though my knowledge here is admittedly not deep.
If you research your photo strains carefully they are consistently more potent that the autoflowering equivalent. In my own limited experience by about 30-50pct more potent.
Under lights in a legal grow situation I doubt I would grow autos at all. They suit me very well in my situation though and I am very thankful for them.

It is on topic isn't it ? If I was a legal grower for a dispensary there is no way I would grow autoflowering strains. I can see no reason why my opinion cannot be expressed. Can you explain why given the topic one should start a new thread ?
I am not trying to be intentionally obnoxious here but I am afraid it makes no sense. I am pro photo and auto Cannabis but cannot comprehend why a dispensry would grow diluted Indica/Sativa Cannabis strains.
If it is a money and time thing = purely profit based business. I would seek a dispensary that had a different ethic myself. Each to their own mind you. Free world and all that.
