What’s the most dry weight you have pulled from a autoflower

I love the simplicity and convenience of not having to require a dark zone and all its attendant complexities. Only finished one auto so far which returned nine + zip.

So you ran them for 24hrs?

I have always run mine 24/7.

just looked on the Mephisto page , the highest yielding strains they had were only 5 oz,so they claim, do they play down the possibilities , if so , it would be the only seed bank that does …….most banks try to tell us youll get 2 pound @ 24% thc !!!

I've found them to be a little on the conservative side. I just pulled a little over 6 zips from one of their Sweet & Sours in a 3 gallon smartpot with Promix.

Off one plant! Running on a 24 hour schedule?! Good job dude

Thanks! Yes, off of one plant in 86 days from sprout. Her sister was ready about a week earlier and yielded just over 4 ounces.

Awesome! what kinda lights did you use?

No, they were 20/4 but the point is that I don't have to care about light leaks and veg and flower doesn't need to be separate. I've moved down to 19/5 not for any particular reason.

They spent their 1st five weeks under 2 cobshop cobs before moving them to my 4x4 tent with a 600w hps.

To consistently get a pound they are doing DWC. I'm not sure why but the hydro seems to delay the switch to flowering by about a week. Bigger plants, bigger harvest.

Wrong. Ripley's og is said to have up to 300 grm or 10.?? Oz per plant and a SODK has got 7 oz recorded on AFN.

About a pound .........



Sorry

Interesting stuff dudes! I would like to refrain from the hps’s do y’all think I can get great results from a powerful cob or led with full spectrum?

What strains do you plan on growing? My favorite auto so far has been these two Mephisto Sweet & Sour. I love the taste and between the 2 that I did I ended up with over 10 ounces of hard hitting tasty smoke. I don't push my plants at all. I've always gone by the belief that it's better to underfeed than it is to overfeed plants. All I used on the S&S was megacrop and a bit of calmag from time to time. All of my feedings were under 500ppm including my water that runs around 50-60ppm.

Well I was thinking on getting either Cookie Monster auto and auto ultimate or some easy to grow Indica. What are those methods you just mentioned, I’d be interested in not going too ham with the nuts myself
