Smallest autoflowers you guys got good yield off of

What is the smallest plants that you guys managed to get a decent yield off of. What was the size, and what was the yield. I have some small autos currently that look decently healthy, just more bushy and not really tall. My biggest is around 13-14 inches, my smallest is around 11 inches tall. Got a good amount of leaves and look great just small. Dont think they will be growing much any more. All have started to produce small buds.

I'm listening too. Got a tank full of autos, bit of stunting I think from a big over water shock. Seem to be coming out of it, sort of an experimental grow. My plants are just showing little preflowers...

Mine probably had transplant shock since I shook the hell out of them to get them out. I think I had my light to far down as well. Had my 320w at 22inches away from top of plants, but some bleaching shown. That probably slowed them down.

It depends on the plant type. Some others are bushy and some produce one strong central cola. And some stack better than others.
Look at this way: should produce at least an ounce that's 28 grams times $10 that's 280 bucks 4 what you grew yourself using your own methods and seed source. You're still a winner. And autos can do this in two months.

Most of the auto issues are grower issues. Some of them genetics. But most are new growers.
I just dont get it i guess. Seen them not autoflower, flower super early, wind up tiny, and wind up huge.
Really dont see what, if anything, about auto's that is easier and more predictable than photo's

I think what he might be saying. Is that its one thing that you have to try to learn. Auto flowers can perform amazing with just water. (Base soil ofc). But you have to select a proper strain. If you need to worry about space at all, a proper low ryder strain can yield well in small spaces

Thats what I'm hoping. If I get an ounce per plant, I will be in the positive. Then need to buy that device that allows air to flow through the tent. Hopefully next time I will have a better grow. I found my errors with transplanting, solved my over watering issue from the past this grow, and still need to figure out how to use this correctly.

Autos arent really easy. I would say their more of a challenge if anything. The bonus with autos is once you figure them out, you have more grows you can do, and quicker results. Autos are a pain though because every little issue will result in problems in growth and yield. I picked them because of the less time it takes. Honestly I don't recomend any new grower to start with autos. I did and now I got to work with what I got.

Only autos I grow are from free seeds, I'd never spend money on them. Having said that I have a Gorilla Glue auto going right now that is looking great. Only maybe 12-14" tall but there are some crazy thick and frosty nugs on her. She went from seedling to where she is now in my 12/12 tent, not sure if she would have gotten any taller if I would have kept her in my 24 hour tent until she started to bud or not. I'll post a pic tonight when the lights come back on.

Thats one of the ones I'm growing. She's probably my smallest, but she is super thick compared to the rest of them. I know size doesn't matter with pot plants. I had big plants produce not much, and I saw small plants produce alot more than the taller plants. That being said there usually other things involved if you get a 29inch auto and only produced 15 grams . Im really praying to beet my record. First grow yielded me a half an ounce for three (extremely poor conditions), next grow yielded me an ounce for two plants, im really aiming for an ounce per plant. If I atleast get that, that, I once again paid for all that I put in, and this would be my first that I'm in the positive.

Every time I grow i hope to see a 3-5 oz plant, but that doesn't seem likely this grow . 2oz would probably be pushing it. Do you use a quarter or half of nutes?
