need advice on new auto grow

whats uo fellow smokers,

in about twi weeks i will be attempting an all auto grow consisting of 20
plants, two 600 watts lights, vigaro organic soil, 8x4x7 tent
i kinda of have an idea on some strains im ordering mon, but id like some others
advice and maybee personal exp, as i am fairly new to autos
any ways what are some decent yielding autos? is the an auto that will
produce an ounce of dried herbs? also whats your views on my pot sizes?

thanks for any and all imput, smokey

Smokey did you get my P.M.? I wish i knew more about autos I would try to help

I know it is best to start in final pots with autos. If you have the space, the bigger the better. I have had pretty decent yields with ak47 auto, but not sure which breeder it was from.

thanks bro, yeah im stumped haha, maybe ill do 20 in 3 gal,
i was thinking of trying this freedom 35 out, and 2 1/2 gal pots also
but hell idk, i need to order tomorrow......

never heard of that. 3 gallons would probably be perfect. be neat to test if you see a difference between that and 5 g's.

I can definitely tell you that they love big pots. Start them in big pots. If you know what you're doing between 1.5 and 3 ounces should be no problem. This is my first rodeo with autos, but they are very impressive. Honestly, there's only a slight difference between these and photos. Mainly, they started flowering after like one month, but they are really big. I'm running quite a few different strains right now. It's in my journal, which I just updated. Not very exciting, but you can see that a lot of people think they are small plants. I think those people just stunted them. These things are a bit out of control. I've had to tie them down in places. Didn't think I'd need to do that. Not sure if you'll be able to get as many in there as you think you can, unless you use the small buckets and stunt them on purpose, like a lot of people do. That might work, but why make a plant tiny? I wish I'd taken more pictures today to help you see more closely some of the plants, but I didn't think I'd be posting anything.

usually they well flower within 28-45 days d'(depends on strain). Autos dont need full nuts. I use 1/3 an sometime still get a slight burn.

if it was me i would stagger there ages
think different or nirvana sky they take a while
but if you started them at the same time with some normal flower time auto's
then you would have both lights free'd up for use on your super auto buds
after the normals finish

ive heard really bad things about that strain fluffy airy buds even under good lighting
and i like the idea but im very hesitant to throw $150 on some beans with a bad report

im checking and really liking the vertigo from paradise seeds

i can fit 6 medium to large auto's in a 2.5' x 3.5' box
if i use 3 gal pots
my light is fixed a little higher than 3'
perfect for seedlings and most plants with a little lst wont out grow it
really 12 nice size plants would fill that tent
vertigo was nice
what kind of buzz you wanting ? sativa indica ? lost in space is my favorite lol
i just ordered " a little kushy" freedom of seeds regular ( i want the genetics dont care how many females i get as long as something viable comes from it )
seen a few people having problems with it and wanted to see how it turned out for me
i like the lolipop shape and seeing how its advised to grow on 12/12 then it could easily be a filler during bloom

barneys sweet tooth if you havent grown it would be a very good grow with about 6 of them
easy to grow killer smoke space high / run around in circle/ ohh look i found a penny / body
and in high doses lay in bed and stare at the wall until you pass out
good night time smoke for me but 1 hit will get me motivated

im growing a afghan kush ryder, its got a nice kushy smell with a light hint of some dank berrys or something. its dank tho, id definitely recommend it

im just looking for.speedy finish time with at least an ounce per plant, im digging the vertigo
high isnt really as important as bag appeal, as i only grow for one person, i could fit
20 3 gals in my tent comfy, but i could stretch in 24 but the buckets would be tight
heres my auto.going right now30 something days since seed touched dirt, its a bit strechy for me

mine vegged for 16 to 17 days and then started blasting calyx and pistils, i like the strain alot, really unique dank ass smell, and gets pretty frosty

weird mines slow at flower, def an auto started shooting pisils out under24/7
now.she under 12 with the rest and shes slowed down alot for some reaon
i dont know if that is a strain specific thing tho.either
