2.5 ounces per auto is kinda scrawny too. Give em 18
118feet? You're tripping. Maybe outdoors. The plants I harvested were actually pretty decent, and that was before I upgraded to QB's, vents, and 1000watt HPS.
Mephistos autos can yeild maybe 16 ounces out-doors or inside a green house, but a lot of auto genetics are scrawny.

on 12/12 ?
Yes, not from seed though, they kept in veg for about 1-2 months under 18/6. Then once preflowers started to show I moved it into 24 dark then 12/12 and the shock made it stretch immediately. Only LST like leaf bending on them. It was my first ever grow and I’ve learned ALOT since, but I don’t think I did too bad for an indoor noob playing with autos.

will say, I’ve upgraded to photoperiods after seeing these small guys

When i cross autos with regs i will put the progeny in 12/12. They always start flowering but a brief time in 12/12 really sticks that flowering stage and it goes faster. Do you know the parents?
How do you know which carry the auto gene with this method? I ask because I’m trying to cross an auto and photo but want to breed-in the auto gene through generations.

A lot of work in turning a photo into an auto. Have you researched the methods yet?
No. I imagine it takes generations of crossing the progeny that flowers under 13+hours of light. I have space and am going to run a perpetual so hope to manage as mostly a patience game.
