AK47, Auto Feminized & Feminized

Hi all,
I obviously a newb (judging by this question)
I'm gathering supplies to build my space, and have a question about AK47 Feminized and AUTO Feminized
These Feminized AUTO seeds need no pollination (auto flowering?) and are or should be all females CORRECT?
I'm trying for something that is short to medium is stature (3' or less), easy for a beginner, and a heavy yield
I looked at Seeds.NL-AK 47 (BC) Feminized SEEDS

Code:

http://www.marijuana-seeds.nl/AK_47_Feminized_seeds.html

and GrassOmatic-Automatic AK-47 Feminized
The Seeds.NL list a 7 week flowering time, and max 55cm height, and total grow time @ 49 days
The GrassOmatic list flowering time is the same, but with a max 70 cm height, and total grow time of 73 days
Now I'm confused
I'd like to get my first harvest done in 49+/- days, then switch to a longer growing plant due to financial consideration
I'm sinking most of my funds for medicine into this grow so I won't have to buy anymore, and have to go without until I harvest
What is the difference between Feminized and an Auto/Feminized?
Why would there be such a disparity in the finished grow times listed?
I'm just looking for some good medicine that's easy for a newb, and produces good quantity
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Auto-flowering strains flower regardless of light cycles, they can flower on 24 hours a day whereas normal (non auto) plants will flower only when they begin getting as much dark as light (12/12 hrs) Autos are supposed to finish faster, but not 49 days fast. Plant heights and grow times listed by seed banks often mean nothing and are the results that THEY demonstrate. I'm currently growing 3 autos right now and am beginning to get a little disappointed in them. Almost at 4 weeks and my tallest one is only around 8" I'm hoping for it to stretch like crazy, because autos don't yield as well!

And a side note keep pollen out of the equation it only produces seeds and takes away some of the nutrients that potentially would be used for developing deliciously euphoric buds

60 days is the minimum for autos and those strains dont yield to well, im growing some autos right now and there looking real good, there 75-90 days recomended, and im about 65 days in. Sitting here with nothing to smoke though. The wait is killing me!
Grow times given by breeders are estimates based on optimal growing conditions, the only way to truly tell fi the plant is ready is by trichrome color and knowing how the plant should look when ready.
Feminized means the seed has been bred in a way to 99% gurantee female, auto fem means its an auto flower that is feminized.
ANy breed of weed can be kept short with training techniques, but autoflowering plants and indica dominate plants tend to be shorter to begin with, usually under 3 feet. Sativa dominate strands tend to grow larger and take longer from start to finish

i hear them calling to me in my dreams, smoookeee me, smoookee me! Blah i hate waiting :S

Thanks to Adjorr, quaws83 and stevegrows
NOW I see the difference . . .
The only thing I'm still unclear is that the site says "plant height 45-55cm indoors"
Is this another misleading statement, or will it actually top out at 22"+/-?
That seems really short as most of the "ready to harvest" plants I've seen were much taller @3 1/2 up to 6' or so

plants grow bigger outdoors in general, this is due to the sun being stronger and that outdoor plants are grown for many months before being harvested. the 2 plants in my pictures are both under 2 feet tall and i dont expect them to grow much taller as they only have 2 weeks or so left before harvest but as you can see they have many budsites.
Heights listed by breeders are pretty reliable to go by. Indicas grow short and bushy, sativas grow tall and skinny

They are some pretty girls in your pics
Maybe it's perspective, but pic 2 looks taller than 20 +/- inches

I'm cooking some now and it seems that it might be a lil longer than 60 days to harvest but the yield is awesome with CO2. Just keep the PH at about 5.8 and use good air change. I hope to get about 20oz+ on 1 plant. Sweet plant and change the water out every week with a new batch to match the stage of the plant. Keep the water temp at about 68 and you will be in the sweet spot. I'm still peeking and tuning lol. Good luck to ya Oh forgot to mention hydro is the way to go.
