When your reading the gram counts on strains its usually per m2. Meter squared, not per plant. Unless you can grow a single plant to 3'x3' your going to need multiple plants to fill a 3'x3'. Thats what was meant by the "sea of green" comment. SOG is many plants trained while growing to fill a area with an even canopy. I have 5 plants in a 2x4. Almost a sqaure meter. The gram counts from the breeder for my strains is 300-400 per m2. This comes to around 3oz per plant. I should hit that target and maybe do a little better.

With my grow style I'm lucky to fit one plant in a 2x4, I LST a lot, I prolly shoulda got a 4x4 but I just didn't have the space for it.

LST with autos = amazing if you're in coco or hydro ;)
Soil is a little trickier because the veg growth rate is slower so the plant isn't as large when it starts flowering. :wall:


Look into incredible bulk, or auto ultimate
I've got some auto ultimate's in the mail now! It's supposed to be a fantastic yielder.

Hi 2 all
Wondering ,about the yield of auto's.......... forget your growing method, & the nutes & all that stuff, lets look directly at the yield..........yep i know sounds comercial, but no .........why have 3 grows a year, when you can have 2......... im talking , filling the jar,...........Breeder's are quite happy to tell us all how good there product is , but do they deliver ??........have you a fave , doing the job for you??.....whats your best effort??........what strain was it ??

Example......1 of the largest seed banks in the U.K, . happily , tells us ......Green Crck Auto will deliver 600-800 grms , per sq meter, will this plant , grow to that size?? are we talking ..........wet or dry...........or is this just breeder banta ??

Heavyweightseeds , say there Fast & vast Auto will do the same!!

Id like to hear from the growers, ........& yes i know , the skill level at growing is of parramount importance, but, have you stummbled across genetic's that , reward you in this department ??

Plese share your experience

You want to see how autoflowers should grow go take a look on autoflower.net One guy grew a Auto Ultimate that went over 900 grams dry! For real! 4-6 ounces on an average autoflower thats grown well. I've had 110 gram dry from one plant in 58 days. It all depends on strains. DP is great, but most of theirs are slower than average, 80-100 days. Most auto are done in 70 days or less.

If you want BIG plants, expect strains that take 90 days to yield a pound or more. 4-8 for 70 day strains, .75-4 for fast strains, 60 days or less.

Yes Tupapa, thats correct, & appreiate that , but if your set up correctly & hve enough skill to achieve reasonable consistint results, & are looking to fill the jar with average cabbage , is there an Auto that constantly gives better returns??
Im not chasing high thc or exotic aroma & taste just plain old hooter..............around my part of the world, anything is good

Im currently trying to answer my question with a side by side grow, 1 of them being Autopounder , by Auto Seed's , the other is a auto skunk by seedsman, who claim it should yield well !!
Im sure theres growers out there that have been down this road , & may have a fave that consistantly returns for them.
I read a thread recently , were a grower got 1.5 oz in 56 days from 2 leaf stage & was happy, i wouldnt consider that to be all that great
I suppose after reading breeders comments, & even comparing comments made about the same seed by different seed banks, were you find 1 bank saying it will do a pound & another bank , says the same seed will do a half pound, i thought id ask the people that know, the GROWER
Thx for your contribution & i hope to get a lot more input...........regards to all

Two on the outsides are heisenbergs from mephisto. They are the best auto breeder I have come across.
The one in the center is amnesia auto xxl from dinafem. !5 inch wide pots that hold 5 gallons.

I am currently running two skywalkers from mepisto and another amnesia from dinafem.

I never understood autos. What is the perceived or real benefit of a plant that can't be controlled? Can one maintain a mother that came from auto seed?
For me it's the fact that I can grow year round in my garage I use the light for a heat source. If I had to have a dark period during the winter my girls would freeze.
