for my next grow im thinking of growing the white widow auto seeds from dinafem: https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/dinafem-seeds-white-widow-auto/prod_3520.html

i have a 4ft x 4ft x 6ft grow tent with a 600w hps, how many of these plants do you think id need to pull a pound of bud?

they claim each plant can yield 40 - 160 grams but i doubt that.

also what pot sizes and grow style should i use? ive got 18 4-litre pots here which are currently being used in a sog grow, do you think 16 of these in a sog style could get an ounce each?

id be growing organically in bio canna soil.

has anyone got experience with this strain and what yield did you get per plant?

thanks.

That will all depend on how much per plant could take 64 plants if they are only a quarter zip each, at this time there is no way to know. The conditions and environment determine how well the plant can do its plant things and how much bud there will be once you have grown three or so you will have an idea of average yield which you can then use for your estimates and then +/- 2 plants or so should get reasonably close once you know how a strain grows.

160 grams is a nice high number and very unlikely to be reached by an auto. I can be done I have seen pics on here of some big ass a-flowers but those are not typical since flowering is induced by the plants' age most do not become nearly that large 40g is more realistic but still when I look at those product statements I think of everything after the strain name as an estimate, frequently an overly optimistic estimate designed to make you want to buy their "miracle" plant.

Use much larger pots if you want any kind of yield, mine go into 3 gal (12.5 L) pots and some strains will do significantly better with something even larger like a 5 gal (approx. 20L), and those monster autos I mentioned earlier all seem to be in 7 gal pots or outside in the ground. Autos do not like transplants so plant them straight in their final container.

I do not think that a SOG or any other bulk method/ style would be the best for autos. Photoperiods are much more versatile and many more techniques and methods can be used to grow, since autos go by age you but it in the dirt and leave it alone for the most part. If you do want a SOG do photoperiods and clone, clone like a mothafucka. You dont want to have to buy another 10 dollar auto seed for each pot each run do you? You will not get a zip per auto in 4L soil pots.

I have a WWA bean but I have not grown the strain before. I recommend looking in to photos, I do autos because I have a limited amount of space so I stagger 4 autos to get some smoke while a photoperiod chugs along. If I had space for a veg and flower area I would just be doing photos, so unless you are in a similar situation I believe that photos would be the most effective way to go. GL.

If you want 3 or 4 clones yes... Haha but to get a pound hell no. Buy a ten pack of dinafem ww auto and throw them under that 600 and you will get damn close if you dont reach a pound. Almost all of there ww autos produce 2+ ounces if conditions are good.

I have one at 3 weeks and it is larger than my 9 other plants at same age. And yes there are lots of people on here that pull 2+ and sometimes 4 oz off of these just do a search for it. It is there i have seen it with my own 2 eyes. You cant go wrong with this auto it is the most sought after auto to date.

IMO you should use 3 gallon! Some people say you have to use 5 but I dont believe it to be necessary. It is a waste of money and soil. I know the search engine can be confusing sometimes and make it hard to find things. If you want to take my advice it is up to you. I have several years of successful grows. But anyone can say that so like i said its up to you. I will be ordering a 10 pack of the dinafem white auto cheese and white widow auto for the attitude bday promotion bcuz of the size of my freebie and all the success i have seen others have with them.

Maybe you should just go with some photo plants then and spend an extra month vegging. To make sure you get ur pound. Im not saying you will definitely get a pound with the autos but the ww auto is your best chance.

No not quickly. If op wants all those plants up at once you need seeds, then take cuttings from those to keep it moving. Unless you want new genetics then seeds again.

You can clone autos it can work but is not effective. But you are correct those cuttings would be coming off photoplants if you want to keep a SOG going without additional investments in seeds for each run.
