First Grow - Expectations?

Next year in the month of June I'm going to start my first harvest. I'm going with the Auto-flowering Rapid Afghan strain by AC Genetics. I always hear people say that you shouldn't expect a good yield on your first grow, so I was wondering you guys think I'll yield? I'm going to be getting 7 seeds, and the estimated yields for outdoors are 60-100 g/plant. Also, I live in the Northeast. Any appropriate and helpful answers are much appreciated.

Or plant just a few, or one every 2 weeks. That way you'll have plenty of chances to get it right...;)

as kybudz say ..

and try to keep it simple .. to many newbies think they need to add to mouch stuff and give em to mouch love ..
just let it do its stuff .. its know how .. make sure to give it optimal conditions and it will yield plenty ..

but let me ask you .. if I get this right .. you plan to grow out doors .. right ?
are your season short ? if not use normal strain .. and please plant em in the ground ..

if your summer is short and even if it is`t ..
start em indoor a few weeks before .. so you have small strong seedlings to plant out once the wether is good ..

and do buy a good strain ..
its 90% of it .. rest is up to soil condisions and summer wether .. not to hot .. not to wet .. lots of sun hours ..

if all that is spot on you will grow trees unless you then fuck up along the way .. agin .. keep it simple .. in the ground is easy .. plants take care of most of its own .. just need water on dry/hot days (in the morning) and some nutriens (do some research)

here is a good "guide" that help me a lot in the start and still is nice to use to look up stuff if in doubt ..

Well growing outdoors is a big difference from indoors so expect more yield,but as stated before just start them inside.

I can't grow out doors no more since helicopters fly over my neighborhood a lot,plus i get a shit load of bugs in my yard now for some reason,and my dogs get wild when they run around,the last 3 i grew outback were getting tackled by my dogs almost everyday.but they survived i just don't wanna take the chance.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. don't dwell on the plants. germinate one or two seeds per week, go from there. Water stress is the most common problems with first grows. Just enough water, nutrients(not ABSOLUTELY necessary), persistence, patience and READING. READ. READ. READ. buy a book. Greg Green's "Cannabis Grow Bible" is my favorite. Also, don't tell ANYBODY. not even your best bro, not even your mom.

I have a couple outside and I go daily and spend time there. My dogs go with because apparently I`m adorable to them.
Anyway my female great dane backed up and pissed on my bubba. I stopped her but I have to wonder what she was thinking.
Does she know that area is special to us and she is keeping other bitches away or did she think I need more N.
Maybe she thinks if she kills it we can hang out more?
I`ve been lucky about her and the pup not smashing them because they get rowdy and end up in my strawberry and blueberries all the time. Bastards!
