    Every autoflowering variety traces back to ruderalis, a scrappy wild plant from central Asia with almost no potency and a hard coded flowering trigger. Breeders spent years crossing that trait into strong lines while breeding out the weakness, which is why modern autos finally compete with photoperiods. Generation depth for auto lines is noted on https://budweedseeds.com where the breeder discloses it. Older cheap autos still carry too much of the wild parent.
