First Auto Grow

Getting ready to do my first auto grow. Need some advice and to see if I have a good line up here. I am experienced with photo strains, have been doing it indoor and out for several years now. I will say that I am more focused on yield than anything at the moment.

I am planning on doing 9 to 12 plants in a 4x4x8 tent under a 1000 watt HPS blockbuster hood, Co2, air pots, and not sure about the size I should run in pots. I am thinking that I will use for medium either a mixture of roots organics, perlite and clay pebble mixture? I will more than likely use advanced nutrients or humboldt nute lineups, which is also new to me. I have always used fox farms.

I will be ordering the following strains, about 6 to 9 of each feminized beans and will go and choose from there:

Buddha Seeds Magnum
World Of Seeds Northern Lights x Big Bud Auto
Dinafem Mobydick XXL
Dutch Passion Think Different
Dutch Passion Auto Blueberry

Well, being new to autos I have done a fair share of research and everything I get is a wide mixture of information. Most of it I find is older info when the auto strains were not equivalent to todays autos. Please give me advice on the grow, how you would handle things from transplant info to starting in the original container info, to any other grow info I may need to pull a nice harvest. I would like to pull over a lb of bud, out of my 5 years of indoor growing with photos I have never pulled under a lb but one time. And many times I pull a usual 16 to 22 oz's and 24 being the best with my setup. Thanks guys for checking out my thread and for taking time to read this. I'm excited to get this on. I have not ordered seeds yet, so any changes can be adjusted as well.
 
4-6 of the think differents would smother a 1k in decent size pots:D they get kinda beasty after you get to know them ..... easy with the water and nutes for the first couple weeks then slowly ramp them up .... be sure to give a good dry cycle between waterings ..... they are quirky to get to know ( auto's in general) but after you figure them out they are 100 mph right up until chop ..... 9-12 plants in a 4x4 it would be tight real tight considering most the strains you picked are larger

Thanks for chimming in guys. I have had the thought of using sativa dom photo strains as well with a 12/12 from seed run also. I think ill use ff coco loco this time as well. Which do you think would provide me with a larger yield? 12/12 or autos?
