Yield and density help?!

I have a 3x3 tray with air rocks, 16 gallon res with Dutch passion nutes, 600hps light 18/6,Hindiana auto. Done in a basement where grow area is surrounded by Mylar. This is my second grow, the fist time I used biodiesel auto and both time came out great potency wise but not very dense. 1 hindiana yielded 2oz (topped) and 3 biodiesel yielded about 11oz (not topped). Any help for better yield and density would be much appreciated :)

I'm not going too but I'm trying to get denser buds they are super fluffy, I'm thinking about changing my nutes but not sure
 
Advanced nutrients big bud has been shown to really pack on the weight. Ive got a bottle for this grow so I'll let you know how it goes.

density on most auto's varies from pheno to pheno
bringing your temps down during flower would probably help
nutes work wonders but its not the only variable to trich production
wattage, spectrum, temps, nutes can all be spot on and still have fluffy buds
if the predetermined bud structure is more of a ruderalis type then it will never get dense
but it will still be sticky icky if it has good genetics

its hard to judge if topping helps or hurts you from 2 different strains
really you would want to grow atleast 4 out of the same strain
this would give you more of a idea
ive had luck with it flat canopies with easy lst better light penetration
just my 2 cents

sweet tooth from barneys farm

dinafem amnesia auto <~~~ wicked sativa dominant and strong smoke most of the dinafems are really good and pretty plants this would be the most stable IMO
but even these have ruderalis looking bud structures on some of the pheno's
find a strain that you like then grow it out 10-20 times
this way you can identify the pheno's you like before preflower
then force a hermi early on let it self pollinate
this will stabilize it
the seeds will be fem and what ever other plants it pollinates will also be fem

mixed spectrum would be best

more blues at first more reds at the end
but lower temps is the key
you figure one 5th of your weight is just trichs
so i would try and improve trich production and at that point density doesnt matter anymore
if its popcorns that get you trashed then whats it matter if its popcorns :)

good choice brother
i have 3 la frutta di venus going
just some freebies
but so far i am very impressed have 2 outdoors and one indoors
i have little experience with delicious but i'm hooked already
get you some dinafems bro you wont be dissapointed
i have had pheno's that where junk but its like that with every auto some of them are just dud's
every strain ive grown from them is top notch so far and ive been growing auto's for a few years now with the occasional photoperiod maybe 1-2 a year
i was hooked from the first lowrider i got my hands on was sickly and maybe yielded a half if you weighed the main stalk too >.< but i saw potential
and glad i stuck with them

always wondered about the biodiesel
i usually keep a himalaya blue diesel in rotation one of my favorites
it has a good bud structure usually
