Best yielding Autoflower strain?

No you are right. And live and let live. I just don't get the appeal, particularly after having smoked a few and grown a couple. Between a lesser high, not being able to clone, and always reliant on beans, I don't get the appeal. I do wish however everyone has a good and successful grow, regardless of genetics.

I have grown a lot of Autos. The constancy is not good yet on most strains. The quality is there but the growth patterns are all over the place.The most consistent strain I ever have grown is the Royal Queen AK-47. In 1 gal smart pots they will always grow 42-48 inches. I have got close to a pound a plant. I know that sounds like B/S but it is true. The top colas are the size of 40 oz beer cans. I had a top cols on one weigh 14 oz wet. These plants take the shape of a candelabra. There are many things that effect autos. Temp is the biggest thing that I have found to influence size and yield. Well a lot of things do but that and keep your water cool with a airstone going. Well to much to tell here. But they will get like I said about 4 ft of plant that get 21/2 ft across and side buds are as big as regular size beer cans. A bit more info. I usually grow 5 at a time. On top is a 8 bulb T5 HO and on both sides i have a 4 tube T5. Running apx 8oo watts. The smell of this stuff is so sweet. And it will lay you out.It sucks because I have things I like better then the AK Strain.

Your avatar is pretty phallic, I dig it.
You know to tell you the truth I never looked at it that way but since you mentioned it you are absolutely 100% correct.
You must have a dirty mind,,just kidding, what you have are good logical thinking and honed observational skills.
I once took an English class in college and the prof thought lots of objects used in everyday advertising were phallic symbols.. And she was right when you really looked.Of course this had nothing to do with the class which was about persuasive writing.However it was interesting, plus I liked fantasizing about her after that. Thought she was really horny.

1 lb from 1 gallon pot? No way I believe that. What kind of system are you using that you are growing in 1 gallon pots but have a reservoir to keep cool?

I've found AK builds a tolerance retarded quick, that's why I stopped growing it. Before I was done a jar I'd be smoking a G at a time just to get right, that and it tastes like cigarettes after like 2 weeks. Compared to the OG Grape Krypt I've been smoking on for months and still getting right blazed.

Could you post some pictures of your grows? I have a really hard time believing you are getting 1lb plants from a 1gallon pot with 800 watts in t5's. Maybe I misunderstood, if you aren't bullshitting maybe I got something to learn :)

Im running a couple autos in my cerrent grow. Magnum auto from Buddha seeds. Not much info onthe net about this strain but it recomends not to grow indoors because of the size that they get too. And it says they can get to a pound a plant outdoors. Well I have 3 in 15 gal pots with super soil in a 5x5x7 1000w. With a few more others in there as well.

Did you hit it? I would have tried!
 
I do find it weird that care givers are growing it. The guy I know is a "care giver" growing autos.. I don't get it. Now I'm a tad younger than some of you folks, and I'm not sure of the validity of the claim, but people always reminisce about some old sativas. Sativas that are hard to find now, and due to breeding (perhaps poorly), we've lost collectively good genetics, or at least narrowed the availability. Breeding autos into the gene pool all over the place probably isn't the best of ideas. Just an opinion.
I wont breed auto genes into photo plants , but a ton of caregivers use em opposed to takin cuttings off a fem photo plant

Dude , Colombian Gold , Punta Roja , OG Chocolate Thai , Purple Thai , Limon Verde , & too many other Landraces are long gone from the cannabis genepool & its extremely depressing

Well, even though I'm an indica guy as I love the pain killing and sleep inducing strains, I have found that I really do enjoy sativa leaning plants for the day time.
So I'm popping malawi and I've got Bangi Haze which are pure sativas. Should be interesting. As long as I've got a knockout night smoke, and I'm still waiting for space to sex some maple leaf indica, PCK, I may find a couple more good indicas for night. Right now my go to night strain is SSDD (always a clone of her in flower, and she is my headstash stuff...none goes out the door anymore), so that base is covered, but I love the hunt and exploration.

Just grew out cream of the crop cash crop and auto purple kush. Yielded decent. Smokes good. Tastes good. Not the heaviest though, but good for daytime.

5oz off three in 85 days from seed.

Good bag appeal and smell on both. Just not as heavy as some of the photos I grow lol. I grow very sleepy strains a lot of the time though so that's not saying they don't get the job done lol.
