Are Auto's worth it these days.

If everything works out I should get 1.63 grams per watt off the autos

Grams per watts doesn't mean much of anything. kWh/yield, total power output including everything in the grow not just the lights, amount of time during veg and flower divided by yield is what counts.

Doing precise estimates on Autos is laughable since you can never repeat your results so where's your point of reference for yield? Some advertised numbers on the internet?
 
Going to the jars. 76 days from sprout to chop. 9 days of dry time. Final weight 17.85 oz. of dry buds, 3.06 oz. of larf for edible butter. Total 20.91 oz. Holding steady rh of 59%. I want to give a BIG shout out to Budzbuddha as this was my first attempt to run Autos. The man knows his stuff. Can not thank you enough. Anyone wanting to grow autos I strongly recommend reading his posts. Literally plug and play. I am not trying to sway any grower from photos or autos. I'm only stating nearly 21 oz. in 76 days is going to work for me as I grow for myself and do not sell any product. BTW the live edge table they are on is my creation too. I truly hope everyone has a great weekend! We will see you all on the next run!

On top is either a 3BOG or a Ripley's OG that yielded 7 oz and below is a Alien Vs Triangle that yielded about the same. Both pictured at around 9 weeks. These were in 5-gallon grow bags. I switched to 3-gallon plastic pots and now get a smaller yield. Even with the bigger pots, these were a bit of a fluke...for me anyway. Around 3 oz without much effort is what I normally average for 3BOG.

just got 2 packs of 3 seeds from Genome Genetics and from magic strains --NO germination _ anyone have poor/no germination rates ?

Oh yes! The game has changed! Most autos now are in the same range as their photo counterparts in flavor, and potency. Obviously the yields would be less as they have their own cycle but I’ve grown autos for about 5 yrs now and no one can tell the difference. I would keep them indoors in a controlled environment but will do good OD as well. I am consistently getting 3-4 oz per auto and that’s in soil. In hydro, that number could double. I’ve seen 6-8 and sometimes 14 oz on larger autos.View attachment 5261274View attachment 5261275 That one yielded 190g dry.View attachment 5261276View attachment 5261277
These two are same cultivar, two different phenos at 4.2 oz and 3.7oz dry… they have come along way in 10 yrs! First pics are custom breeder strain. I would have to go into my records to find the strains crossed. And last two pics are Lil MobStar’s Dream from beavergenetics. Lil Mobstar x Sorbet Dream

Are those SIP bucket for feeding?
 
Use gnome automatics, night owl, dark owl, ethos, mephisto, 420FastBud ms you want to grab the higher F6 and up for me ruderalis has been bred out of the plant so much, Greybeard gave me some bullshit auto seeds with the exception of a really god tier gorilla glue 4 freebie that looks like white sugary nuggets. But yes the higher thE F4 F5 F6 and up these are what I’m looking for. These breeders are working hard on making dankë autos
