@lynn4349 autoflowers can be grown in a designated veg tent or designated flower tent. Any light cycle is the advantage of growing an autoflower. They do typically take less time, but this does depend on the environment some. They all finish when they want to, and it’s always best to go by the trichomes.
There are pros and cons.
Pros they finish fairly quickly
They don’t need a light schedule.
They don’t always need a lot of light.
Cons
Can’t clone them, so it can get expensive, starting a bean every time you want one.
They sometimes develop male and female parts, then you end up with seeds.
They grow to whatever size they want to, and aren’t controlled by a veg/flower light cycle. So you may have to super crop a few branches out of the lights.
You have to be familiar with cannabis as a whole to know what comes next for nutrients/ grow cycle.
This list is not exclusive, and is just my opinion, others may have a difference in opinion which I would respect just as equally.
Your grow may vary.
