Autoflower Outdoors: When is first TRUE harvest possible?

I am looking into getting some autoflowering seeds, however I have certain concerns about what would actually be best for my situation. I am wondering,

a) can an autoflower be transplanted outdoors from indoors?
b) when is the earliest autoflowers can be harvested, with proper yield?
c) when is the earliest any body has harvested a decent amount of mature buds from outside?

Any tips or previous experience would be awesome! Thanks fellas!

If i can not get autoflowers that can be harvested in the Midwest by the end of July I am going photo for sure!

O ya and I've seen some crazy stuff like harvests starting in May, I doubt that is true, but I could be (hopefuly :)) wrong! If anybody has good info I'd love to hear about autos and early Outdoor harvests!

Depends where you live, if you plant one in June you could probably harvest it in August with 3 or so zips. I ve seen photo strains finish as early as the beginning of september and they yield 3x what an auto would

Im in Mn so thats about as far north as you will get, as for the earliest you can harvest. Auto=pretty much anytime, you would just have to start earlier indoors. Photo=like i said early Sept. I prefer to have a couple fast finishing strains and then have some for later sept or early oct. Helps to space the harvest time out, less buds in my dry room and i get some smoke quicker and some that are potent and yield well

Sweet man thanks good stuff here! I'm south of MN and I have seen outdoor photo grows harvested at maturity in august where I live, also ALOT longer nov 15 last year! i see different things about autos and i understand they can grow and do well, but will the amount and potency of bud be affected by when in the summer/spring you put it out? seems to me you could do autos inside "vegging" for 3 weeks of 24/0 or 20/0 or watever then transplant em. say u started this at the beginning of may. A 10 week seed to weed strain would be done.... mid july???

trimming is a labor of love and is worth it no matter how many leaves there are

Well it is entirely worth the effort! I just think there is so many great genetics out there that if i spend 2-3 hours researching which strains i want to grow i could save ten-fold that time on trimmin!

Dont forget though, you'll be spending alot more money on seeds. Instead of cloning and taking that money to buy more soil and plant more plants to get more bud
