high yield auto? 5kw hps

hello everyone, thanks for stopping by my thread. i have been growing for a few years now and have given autos a shot before, so i know they are not the same yield, taste, potency wise; however im hoping that this attempt will be worthwhile and with your feedback that it could be a fun ride.

i run a 10x10 room with 5 x 1000 watt hps. i normally have about 2 months downtime between runs that my room is used for veg while i enjoy the slight break from the blitz of flowering. i was thinking that a few autos in the mix, started at the correct time, could flower along side my vegging plants making my system more efficient. i have considered some sativas that flower under 18/6 but i think 14 weeks is a bit longer then my 1-2 month veg "downtime" would allow without hurting the rotation.


given container size, light, and nutes are not limiting factors (i maximize everything for my grow, lights nutes supplimental co2, the works) what would be the highest yielding autoflowering strains? im looking for large dense nugs, potency is less important than looks, because i have plenty of extreamly potent medicinal photoperiod plants. these autos are for a bit of extra weight an i dont want larffy buds like the first ones i grew (short stuff auto mix)

I've personally had great results with critical mass auto or any critical x auto. I average 1.5 - 2 ounces in 7 gal pots

auto think different or auto blue mazar
What he said.
Think Different, Auto Mazar, and Auto Blue Mazar.
All from Dutch Passion.

I average about 6 zips per plant in hydro without perfectly ideal conditions.
Just pulled a 9 ounce Think Different.

The fucker just kept growing, and flowered late so I left it in the tent with 2 600's on it for the last month.
BAM!
What a plant.

Peace.

I'm growing some Critical Mass Autos and they seem to be quite healthy and very bushy, one plant has two side branches that have grown taller than the main top, it really wants to bush out and I'm gonna let it! One of four has shown a good bit of stretch since flowers started showing, the remaining three are about a foot tall and already wider than they are tall. Very dense leaves so it appears this will have a lot of trimming to do when harvesting. I'm growing with a 400w HPS plus 135w LED and some side lighting with a 2'x4 T5 lamp and two 68w CFLs with reflectors plus I'm running a UV Repti-Glo CFL for better UV. My nutes are AN Sensi-Grow 2 part,I'm still using the grow and will phase in the flower 2 part Sensi-Bloom next week as they just started showing flower hairs.

I'm goin with a couple guys above....Think different by Dutch Passion is a big yielder with very dense nugs and packs a punch! I'm growling another 7 of these now, a very good strain!!

Happy Growing :)
