I have decided to make a thread based on experiences with autoflowering genetics giving a synopsis, so people can make buyer decisions based on what they feel is ideal for their garden. I would like people to add their experience with strains that I do not list.
Masterlow(Mdanzig)
Excellent plants to choose for small compact garden grows minimal branching and you can fit a lot in one area stay short on average I havent seen many top 1ft tall(avg 6"-10"). Avg Yield 5-15g per plant(but can be made up for by putting a lot in small area). Smell lemony citrus, a little less potent then the new wave of autoflowers but even still the taste is delicious and it produces a mild buzz.
BlueStreak(Mdanzig)
Mdanzig while being his own harsh critic says this has fallen behind the lastest in the autoflowering world, I disagree. Bluestreak has a wide range of phenotypes. The yield is anywhere from 7g(Masterlow pheno)-35g and the potency is up there with the best tasted in the auto world. Smell varies from light skunky odor to the more masterlow citrus scent. In regards to nutes I had a couple different bluestreaks and they don't seem to like much nutes it must be a blueberry thing.
Lowryder 2(JD)
This is one of the most beautiful autos I have seen. Resin coated compact buds with a very reasonable yield 14-24g on average. They do have a minor stink factor moreso than masterlow or bluestreak but the buds bag appeal will blow you away. Fed all organic nutes loved the ZOO DOO/marine cuisine and performed amazingly.
Auto AK(LowLife)
This ones for yield. Auto AK should be a building block for making larger autoflowers with a yield 28g-50g+. The knock on auto ak is thats its resin production isn't the greatest but its potency is still very nice. Definitely produces a nice day buzz. This strain takes a good amount of nutes pretty well.
Auto Ak x BB(LowLife)
This has to be one of the most interesting autos I have tried. It has a large amount of diversity in its phenos but you cant go wrong on any of them. yield is anywhere from 14g(blueberry pheno)-40g+(ak pheno). The blueberry pheno smells like straight blueberries its probably the most delicious smelling pheno i have encountered. While the Ak pheno has subtle blueberry tints but the smell is mostly citrus w/ a hint of skunkiness. fantastic bag appeal on all phenos. This cross has definitely boosted the frost factor from the original AK. I noticed the phenos that are heavily on the blueberry side hate nutes and it becomes very easy even with low amounts of organic to burn them so take it easy.
White Dwarf(Buddha)
This one packs the frost. I have never seen an Auto cake on as much frost as this one does in its last 2-3 weeks(2 days of dark before the chop really seems to do this one wonders). I didn't have a great M/F ratio on this one but I believe it was just bad luck. Yield 16-27g, the smell is very musty its difficult to describe but the smell after cure definitely makes your nostrils flare. Delicious all around would consider crossing this one to other autos to boost the frost factor. White dwarf has a healthy appetite when it comes to nutes and is more tolerant to moderately higher concentrations of nutes.

FEM Roadrunner(Dinafem)
I wound up having 2 Roadrunner freebies and started them up not expecting too much out of them. I was impressed with the early branching and quickly realized this strain has some potential. Out of the two freebies one yielded 24g the other 27g. They both plateaued around 18" in height 14" wide. The aroma is hard to describe its a mix of spicyness/tea/and citrus. The buds frost production wasn't on the level of some of the other autos I've tried but they still had very decent bag appeal. The smoke is smooth and the high is both uplifting and relaxing. Also takes nutes pretty well.
FEM Easy Ryder(AKxLR2)(JD)
I really like this strain there is so much variation but there are some great phenos in this cross. Had one that didn't branch much and only yielded 16g but they were some of the most crystal coated buds I have ever seen. Then on the opposite spectrum there was one that never stopped branching reaching 28" tall 24" wide and yielded 53g of crystal coated dense nugs it also took 75 days to finish compared to the smaller pheno being done in 60. The smell is a fruity funk smell with skunky undertones. The potency is very nice. I recommend this strain to people who are looking for good yield from an auto with no compromises on bud quality. This strain loves nutes as well pretty difficult to burn if your careful.

Mossy's JEMS
I was fortunate/thankful to get my hands on some of these seeds. I actually had 6 seeds of two different phenos(Pink, Purple). The pink phenos were really a light purple covered in frost and some of the purple phenos were a rich dark purple almost black which was amazing to see. The average yield I received on these ranged from 7-20gs of very colorful sweet smelling buds. The strain seemed to be fairly nute sensitive but if you take it easy on them the results are incredible. Its tough for me to judge the taste or high at this point since they are still curing but it is quite potent and in the early stages of curing it smells like a sweet/creamy mix but then again I'm not the best at odor descriptions. Overall this is a fantastic strain and fortunately I did a little pollination work and have plenty more for the future.

Sour 60 (Mdanzig)
I'll start this off by saying sour 60 is the most complete auto out right now. It brings tremendous potency, strong yields, and a great smell and taste. The potency of this auto is by far the strongest I've witnessed and I can say I've ran my fair share of autos to this point. The buds are very thick as some of you have seen in some of my other posts in this forum(see my sour 60 album). The yield ranged from between 20-60g's+, the buds are resin coated and under a microscope just look insane. The smell during growth wasn't to strong but the after harvest jar smell continues to strengthen(its almost like a mango/sweet/gum/citrus smell wrapped into one and the taste is pretty similar). I think my yields could have actually been significantly better as during the initial growth stages I left them in cups a little too long because of a trip I had to take. The high for me is very sedating and relaxing and provides a very nice stony feel to it. I look forward to future Mdanzig endeavors as every new strain he provides just gets better and better. Heres a picture of the 60g(counting bottom popcorn buds went to 65) yielder, and the top bud from this plant.
