Hi lads i got a question for extreme auto growers :D
i have cultivated autos indoor and outdoor but does anybody cultivated Northern lights auto-flower strain?The web says that the yield is 90-200grams.Ive never pulled out this kind of yield from any auto f strains.What you mates think is this REALLY possible to get this kind of dry yield ???

No idea about the NL autos but this guys said he got 6 ounces of each SSH autos he had so its possible - https://www.rollitup.org/blogs/blog10671-super-silver-haze-automatic-feminized.html

i have a MH / HPS balast, and i was wondering, should i start my autos under a MH, and when i see it starting to flower switch the bulb out to HPS, or should i just run the HPS the whole time due to the "auto" genetics?

I don't use HID anymore but a good friend of mine does. He keeps his autos under MH until they show signs of flowering then switches. He gets the results he wants that way.

I've got the area record between the five growers I know on auto yield. Most of us have managed to pull at least 50g off plants at times, the most I ever got was a Himilayan Blue Diesel plant that netted a tad over 80g dry so I suppose it is possible. Did they list this as a regular auto (7-9 weeks seeds to harvest) or one of the new "super autos". I've got a sweet caramel going right now that may get close to the 60g mark. What I have found with most auto strains is the phenos range wildy, while sometimes I hit the jackpot and get 2 oz off one I will inevitably get one that is a limp dick 14g plant.

The Sweet Carmel in the picture attached (at four weeks old under led only)

I think 200g is bullshit, unless anyone on here can prove me wrong in which case - in advance - mad props!

I think from the sites I've been reading the strains that claim 'up to 200g' are the new super autos you mentioned. They also seem to have a longer finishing time of about 12 to 13 weeks I think, which kind of defeats the whole point of autos, you could do some photo strains quicker than that.

It took me a while to find this Auto thread :) well i will be starting my first grow ever in a 4x4 for vegging tent then transferring to a 6.5x6.5 for flowering.. how many autos can i fit in a 4x4 tent? what pot size is recommended? how many watts should be in the 4x4? thanks

4x4 I wouldn't put anymore than four plants. Wattage - totally depends on what type of lighting you plan to use. Pot size - 3 gallon should be the minimum, this of course just my opinion.

Agreed, super autos totally defeats the purpose and at least in my experience they are not entirely stable when compared to some of the tried and true auto strains on the market. I experimented with the super cali haze "super" auto. Had a shitty experience with it and will look to continue growing the standard 7-9 weekers that typically get at least an oz, sometimes a lot more if you treat 'em well. You could def grow an indica dom plant 12/12 from seed and have it finish in less than 13 weeks.

Personally I wouldn't put autos in anything less than 3 gallon pots, I'm using 3 gal smart pots on my current grow, may consider going bigger for the next run. Anything smaller than 3 gal and IMO you're risking winding up with rootbound plants. If what you're doing is working for you rock it till the wheels fall off. What size pots are you using?
