Expected yield with autos in 3 gallon pots ?

Hi,
Just finished a grow recently with blue mystic/afghan kush Ryder and northern lights autos in 1 gallon pots with 16w sq ft of light (led). Managed to pull 20g per plant.

Lot of the threads I've read pretty pessimistic about auto quality and their yield but tbh I thought 20 g a plant was good in one gallon pots and personally the quality for me especially on the afghan kush was better than a Lot of crap u can buy on the street. Good reviews from friends too.

My question is how much more could u expect to yield in 3 gallon pots under double the amount of light (32wsqft) ?

Also what could u expect to yield under the same conditions growing super auto's such as super Cali haze ?


Appreciate any comments

Around 100 weeds

Yeah like 300 units of mexibrick give or take a quarter.


But in all seriousness it depends on the grower autos can be touchy so if your not on point youll be dissappointed on the other hand if you veg for 24/7 in 3 gallon pots with perfectly dialed in plants you can pull upwards of 4oz a plant from an afgan kush ryder and im pretty sure ive seen like 1 pound yields off some of those longer flowering auyoflowers but im too lazy to chase down links

Your nutrients in 3 gallon pots might not even reach the root ball. What was the root ball like in the one gallon plants? I think a small plant does not need a 3 gallon pot

About a pound

10 pounds

3.8 grams. Autos get bad rep because they are bad. Its taking a strain and crossing it with a ruderalis (mexican dirt weed) to make an auto. 12/12 from seed with photo strains yield more and the lights dont have to run 24/7. Photo strains are far better quality

Well I consider myself a newbie because I just embarked on this growing journey. I'm on my third grow. 1 plant each grow. My first grow was ak47 auto from attitude seeds. In 3 gallon pot with ffof. That auto gave me 1 ounce of some potent good smoking tree.I grow with cfls. My next grow was a candy kush auto. That gave me 2.5 oz. That girl grow fast and wild and big. I'm growing my 2nd ak47 now. Its 30 days and its 2feet tall with no strecthing. I know this plant will give me 3 oz. These are all dried and cured weights. I have gotten better each grow. And at this point I'm ready for photos. This grow I have my girls in 5 gal pot in 2parts ffof 2 part ffhf 1part perlite 5 tbs of dolomite lime. Napkin germination 2 days. Placed in soil. Spay mist plain tap water 2times a day for 5 days. Begin water schedule. At 3 weeks .5 tsp of ff grow big then plain phd h20 then blackstrap then plain water then 1tsp nute continue that schedule. 2 weeks before harvest, flush.

That's my candy kush. My grow room is 30X24X60 total stealth. I use 10 26 watt cfls. This grow I added 4 42 watt 2800 lum 2700k and made a fan ventilated hood

The plant in the orange pot is the ak I'm growing now. Its size and girth is 2times the size of my last ak47. Bud sites are plentiful and I'm going to concentrate light on them once growth stops. She's gonna be a bitch.

25-40grams tops.

Im with the other guys.
Autos yield crap unless everything is dialed in perfectly and even then you might get 75grams.
75 grams doesnt sound bad but if it were a photo plant id be bummed out.

Outdoors makes most sense in my opinion because u might be able to get two harvests in a summer but indoors u might as well use photos and get double the yield in an extra week or two.

Try and make a mother to clone off, oh wait you bought the shittiest stuff known fo man. Next time go for some real genetics bro..

I can pull 80-110 grams per plant trimmed dried and cured. If you are pulling less than 30 grams trimmed, dried, and cured you suck at growing.

Ha! I like when they turn out like this

Toronto Ill post the final pis before chop and show u the final weight. No way 20 to 45 grams. However i did get my new batch of seeds today. all photos.

Hey man i wasnt tryin to be a dik but if u go to a seed bank website and look at the expected yield numbers on the auto plants and most of them are way smaller yields and most seedbanks inflate numbers.

I hope u get every gram u expect.

I agree that the seed banks inflate the nubers regarding yield and harvest time, so I'm going based off of the last ak auto that I grew. They were the same seeds, at least I hope. Anyway this plant is twice the size and that plant gave me over an oz so I'm hopeful.

I just wanted to update on the promise that I would post some pics as my ak47 auto progressed. Someone suggested that I should expect to bag 20 to 30g. I disputed that. I'm about 2 to 3 week from harvest.

At day 50

Ruderalis is Siberian weed. Mexican brick is photo period plant (sativa). You can find fire in mexibrick seeds.
