I'm growing a plant in a way to keep it small (For low to no odor reasons and storage reasons). I'm growing an HSO Blue Dream Auto in a way I carefully constructed. I'm growing it in a small Tupperware container (1.2 cups / ~9.6oz) on my windowsill where it'll get normal sunlight like other plants and a steady outdoor breeze of an open window. I've looked a lot of stuff up and figured with this sized container I'd get it around 1-2ft total. I assumed maybe 1ft veg and 2ft flower end. But with this size how much will I probably get? It's supposedly a high yield producing, but it'll be a small plant still. It's also my first grow, so I don't know what to expect. any ideas???
How big a yield does a small auto produce?

I say Go for it. However, even a 3 gallon pot with 25 percent native soil, and 50 percent dr earth planting mix, and 25 percent perlite in your backyard will do much better. You may get an ounce or two off it. I've ranged from 2 to 9 ounces dry off autos ranging from,3 gallon pots to in ground. Good luck!

Oz from what I hear
Thanks!
Yeah, Lookin around that's what I read at a few places too, thanks for the input though.
This is the plant so far, looking decent, although I kept it in the dark while germinating, and while it was producing the sprout, but I didn't realize it doesn't perks up its leaves until it sees sun, so it grew about an inch and a half up without the leaves really open lol. It's about 2in right now with small leaves about half a finger nail in size. It looks pretty good so far even thought it's the start

the way you are describing the grow I would expect a few grams dried maybe at best
the problem is not that the plant or pot is small its that you are using a windowsill for light
Is it because it's not enough direct sunlight? I might end up setting it somewhere outside or getting an extra light for more light hours.

Lol I pulled off a micro grow in a windowseal but out it outside before it started flowering. Got 9 grams dry Lol. Fun though.

It's just not going to (yield) produce under those circumstances.
If say one could get a modest yield, say even a 1/2 once, off 1 plant without a fixed light or real outdoor grow, people would be doing it

Outside is best. Try one auto,in the set up I mentioned, you will do well. 5 gallon is ideal for outdoor autos but I even use 15 sometimes.

lol OP is using 1.2 cup pot and you are talking 5-15 gallon pot outdoor grow, are you even listening to him?

The 9 gram run was in a tiny ass pot. Not 5 or 15. Told him to try another auto in that setup.

Bubblicious auto from nirvana. Great high and smell. Plants all ranged from 5 to 9 ounces. Big yielder. Favorite auto is white widow from vision. Around 3 to 4 ounces dry. Candy kush from auto,seeds is dank too but averages between,2 to 4 ounces dry and it's a bit more touchy.

Autos outdoor get the best results imo, particularly greenhouse grown ones.

nice, you are lucky to have a spot for outdoor grows.
I actually have 3 Vision WW's flowering right now, good to hear that you like them bro I have yet to try WW from Vision
If it will get definite better results outdoors I'll put it outdoors, although still keeping it in to container as I have nothing else to put it in and it's just easier that way.
Yes... Although being honest, I don't do the measuring, nor do I do it all the time. When I do my friend is the one who packs the bong n shit. I don't do nothin. he has his supply and i just do that when hangin with him. Pretty much growing this to have my own supply since he doesn't like selling it
