Smallest autoflowers you guys got good yield off of

The bonus with autos is once you figure them out, you have more grows you can do, and quicker results.
That really isnt the case. You could 12/12 from seed a reg, veg for however many weeks and flip. Even stretch veg alittle to recover from a problem or training. None of those are possible with an auto.
I do agree with the auto is not a beginner plant statement, but they really arent any quicker at anything besides reaching maturity. Flower time is pretty much on point with photo's

Every time I grow i hope to see a 3-5 oz plant, but that doesn't seem likely this grow . 2oz would probably be pushing it. Do you use a quarter or half of nutes?
I grow in 100% coco, and gradually increased strength up to around 1.6 ec from when she first started to flower until about a week ago...that's also what I feed most of my photos in late in flower. My GG auto is very dark green right now though, so she's definitely getting too much nitrogen and I will probably start backing her back down tonight.

Mine probably had transplant shock since I shook the hell out of them to get them out. I think I had my light to far down as well. Had my 320w at 22inches away from top of plants, but some bleaching shown. That probably slowed them down.
i keep a 400 watt hps at 12 inches without any issues they love it
 
I will have to take a pick of mine. Do you think you can pull an ounce at the very least? It really depends how dense the bud get. I had taller plants that produced 15 grams because of my cheap set up. I got a better light though

I have no idea where I will be on harvest day lol I have 5 weeks left according to what seed packet says

My auto(auto Kalashnikov) in a little pot. It was small enough to leave in with the others. It's was growing really well but I think too much nitrogen made the leaves claw and now low temps at night are making the stems redden a bit. I'm worried this will happen to my other plants now.
Looks more like a watering/root issue to me

Really? Could it be from the pot being too small? It's over watered now definitely because I flushed it thinking it would help.
Leaf tips are curled, but the rest of the leaf is droopy and overwatered looking.
Give it a break on big changes, let it dry out, and water then. It will probably take a few weeks to get back on track from where it is at now.... maybe longer

Thats one of the ones I'm growing. She's probably my smallest, but she is super thick compared to the rest of them. I know size doesn't matter with pot plants. I had big plants produce not much, and I saw small plants produce alot more than the taller plants. That being said there usually other things involved if you get a 29inch auto and only produced 15 grams . Im really praying to beet my record. First grow yielded me a half an ounce for three (extremely poor conditions), next grow yielded me an ounce for two plants, im really aiming for an ounce per plant. If I atleast get that, that, I once again paid for all that I put in, and this would be my first that I'm in the positive.
You'll get there. Don't make the same mistakes twice, change methods when required and upgrade when possible. These aren't mere platitudes.
It took many grows (experience), changes (synthetic to organic, revised training methods) and upgrades in lights and grow environment to go from 1-3oz/plant to 6-8+oz/plant. Good luck. Organic soil auto grower.

Only autos I grow are from free seeds, I'd never spend money on them. Having said that I have a Gorilla Glue auto going right now that is looking great. Only maybe 12-14" tall but there are some crazy thick and frosty nugs on her. She went from seedling to where she is now in my 12/12 tent, not sure if she would have gotten any taller if I would have kept her in my 24 hour tent until she started to bud or not. I'll post a pic tonight when the lights come back on.
Here she is. I was wrong, she's 19". No training or anything but I can tell just by looking at her I'm going to get at least a zip from her, probably more.

Definitely bigger then my shorties. The only thing I can really say if I really wanted a 12inch autoflower, these would be the ones . Nice and bushy, and look great by all appearances for the most part. Except they are small. Atleast mine look better then some peoples. If they were the size of your I would be content. Hoping for an ounce a plant though. Mabe these little guys will pull more than my 29inch plant . Just got to beat 15 grams. I will get their sooner or later were mine will look movie star good.

Ya this has been a struggle. Not have the full time to care for them. Not having all the equipment mainly ventilation. Learning from mistakes. Hey I killed prob almost 12 plants in a fucking row last time . Soil i grew in contaminated with root rot. Ya dont ask. Plus I had overwatering issues, killed a couple that way. Bought a poor light to do the job as well. I got better each time out of my three tries. This grow I had no dead plants, no overwatered plants so far. They look good, just small. Some leaves look a little off, some bugs got to one. I guess the silver lining is getting perfect pot plants is hard. I dont know if anybody on here gets fully prestine leaves on their whole plant. Never had major issues with ph or nutes yet in any of my grows.

If it say 11 weeks you will most likely have to extend 2-3 weeks. Appearantly most breeders don't tell you the truth. I honestly harvested my guys a week and a half past breeders time. I dont know if it was completely done or not, but I definitely have no complaints

I'd be happy running longer! Hopefully means the buds will swell out some!

I'd be happy with halfs per pot for my first grow tbh but who knows lol
 
My first 2 autos i got 4 grms off both lol, now have a GG on the left and a Bbg on the rightView attachment 4727305

I would have that light closer buddy! But good luck on your 2nd attempt

Tbh my pics are deceptive.....I've buried at least inches of thin stem during veg and my top down pics dont do them justice

Like I'm looking at these fluffy white hair things and scratching my head thinking how they turn in to buds lol
