fair enough, I just suspect that you may be able to save some fem seeds if that is what you're using and employ bigger pots, use less plants, and wind up with the same final yield. Just my 2 cents. Using 3 gallon or larger pots I can typically get well over an oz, sometimes upwards of two ... more if you're real lucky with the phenotype.

my 25 fem auto russian have just came and they sent me 26 and 3 free auto lemon just waiting on tent now. so u recon less plants in bigger pots should do me the same yeild and how many 3 gall pots u recon in a 1.2x1.2 tent

2 10" pots per plant. cut the bottoms off top bucket. grow the whole way in the stack pots... Guaranteed beasts with all the space you need.

my latest autoflower grow in a nutshell. Four plants - a tad over 5 oz dried and cured. MI-5, Smurfberry, Santa, and Sweet Caramel. This being my umpteenth auto grow I've come to accept that autos are super phenotype dependent when it comes to yield. All under the same lighting and nute schedule and had one (smurf) yield 61g, on the other side of the coin had the MI-5 yield 16. Not to say MI-5 is a crappy yielder either - totally not the case. I've had MI-5 yield upwards of 50g before. You just never know how deep the rudelaris trait will run on any given pheno. That being said I'm totally sold on autos, and will continue to grow them exclusively. DSC00765.jpg

I have to admit, I also became a fan of autos.
I'm not saying that they are better than regular indicas/sativas, it's just that they are a perfect fit for me, who struggles to grow weed in small spaces.

My last grow was Diesel Ryder and Jock Horror (both autos) and I have to say that I am highly satisfied...
Harvest time came at the 49th day for the Diesel and it's one of the best that I've grown so far, the smell was magic (I still have the top bud for a special occasion).:joint:

You can check my journal (more than 150 pics) here :

sweet you've used 2 of your 15 posts to accuse me of guerrilla marketing. My grows are purely my unbiased experience with several different led brands, if you took the time to read them. Look at the picture in my grow posted above - it has a GLH ufo working the sides.

Begs the question - which company do you work for? Also which brands of leds have you personally used to make you believe so adamantly that all companies are rip off merchants? Fuckin trolls man.

sweet seeds big devil is a good yeilder for an auto , 600G per m2 . but i find that its never as strong as normal photo period , the best thing about auto is most finish within 8 weeks of germination so its fast almost 40percent quicker
