i am going to put 15 plants in a room and a light mover with 1000w hps. will it be good for lighting or do i need more just small harvest every 3 months. and can you get seeds from a autoflower male or no? do i got to hermi it on purpose or would my genetics suck.

Hey boss how big of containers r u using, what strains r using?? The 1000w should be plenty..U can have the buds completly done within 10 weeks normally..Also with the seed ?? i would buy 2 pick and mix singles of something ur interested in(another auto of course) to try a get a male and once u know its male take it a put it somewhere else all it needs is light nothing special..Then put ur best looking female in there and let them go at it and then u will have enough seeds forever so make sure its a good quility auto strain, my suggestions would be LA DIVA BY DELICIOUS SEEDS, S.A.D BY SWEET SEEDS VERY NICE COLOR AWSOME BUZZ and takes about 70 days from seed some faster some slightly longer..Maybe try Blue Hymilaya(spelling) Deisel by stitch and dr feelgood by him also if u need pain relief..

ty for the info looks like it is 14 plants on my greencard not 15 but 14 plants every 3 months sounds good to me. might go biger my buddy that lives with me got his green card and is a provider but dont want to get in trouble with the feds!
 
1000w hps should be great if i where you i stick with strains that grow at a similar height and use really big pots your pots should be 3 to 5 gallons and just plant the seed in the soil water and let it grow i dont even germinate befor throwing them into the soil check out my grow my results from the link in my signature i used a 150w hps for two autoflower plants the first plant i harvested is gonna get ruffly 30grams if not more.
 
with 600 wats i would do no more then 10but 8 would be best for alittle extra space the way i measure it is 100 wats for the first plant and 50 watts for each additional plant is aaverage but more light and less plant will give you more quality bud my signature is a grow i did with a sunsystems 150w hps i grew 2 auto flower plants check out my results !!!

lol u dont need 3or5 gal pots for autos bro..u can use 1 gal pots...I use a 600w and u can have 10-20 under it depending on how close u can pack them and size pots u use..I would def suggest getting some La Diva and S.A.D seeds for sure..All of mine stayed under 2ft tall and very uniform for most part all within 5 inches and that aint to bad for the tallest and shortest nothing drastic..I also run my light for 24/0 this also keeps the hieght under controll, and heard it finishes the plants faster dont know how true it is as mine went 15-20 days over but i used 3 gallon pots(from the start) and had really cold temps(outside up north in a old as building no heat but the light lol) but they all turned nice and purple and awsome buzz def recommend..^^This is why i would suggest 1 gallon air pots just got some and im comparing them to normal 1 gal pots and so far the 1's in air pots kill the 1's in reg pots...Ur gonna get around an oz if u use 1 gal pots or 5 gal pots NORMALLY..I had a haze auto give me 100gs(2.5 gal pot) but it was fluffy...But i normally get between 20 and 40gs for the big guys that get to around 3 ft tall and 65-75 days from seed...GL and these r JMO
