Nah bro, has nothing to do with not liking them. Actually I really enjoyed them. It was and is a great learning experience. I believe that they will only get better. Photo's are where I started my grow experience and now that my jars are full I can get back to having some fun. If these are worth it I might take a few cuts and run em again and I definitely not afraid to reveg a plant as a mother. 

I don't think there really are any drawbacks to auto's. As long as you don't set the bar higher than what an auto can produce he'll be happy.
