Should I grow my autos indoor or outdoor?

Hey guys,

I decided to order from attitude for the first time as my current grow is having some problems and I want to ensure I get the yield I'm looking for as this is my third grow.

I purchased:

3 x Easy ryder
3 x Sweet seeds Big Devil

And 5 free fem seeds of different strains.

What kind of yield could these achieve under a 1000 watt hps, they would be on 20/4 light cycle for first three weeks and then 12/12 as I switch the others to flowering. Or would they be better off put outside a fter the three weeks?

you got a 1000w hps man have it indoors
plant the autos and put them under the light when they are ready
plant your non autos a little later so that when you harvest your autos you can switch to 12 12 and bud your non autos

or you could plant at autos at different times so your harvesting at different times

nut id say indoors anyhow

I have a grow with pictures... I ahve 9 plants right now like 27 days from seed, half of them are suffering right now and are stunted....By the time I recieve the seed and veg them three weeks, whatever plants of the 9 that survive which are from femmed purple kush grow that hermied and produced about 10 seeds.

So I'm not wasting my light, the others will ahve plenty time to veg, I'm just lookign for a quick smoke while I let the other veg out, I want to get a pound overall and I may have to chop a few of these plants I ahve going right now.

may i suggest you come and eat at the grownup table for the first time and ditch those auto flowers?
he has a point autos dont produce all that much if your serious dont use autos
but in saying that i kinda like the idea of autos myself as something to harvest earlier so you dont get tempted on your other plants

If you can do it outdoors it can not be beat.
Try one indoors while you veg your normal seeds, the outdoor ones will blow it away.

Ok, I'm immature and a kid because I've never grown autoflowers and wanted to experiment. I have a 400 and 1000 watt light, it's my third grow, I'm just trying to make sure it goes well...

I would grow them outside if I had the room. Autos outside grow bigger and yield more. Not a ton more, but more.

Autos are fine. I consistently pull 1 1/2 oz per plant using a 400 hps, 20/7, soil and organic nutes. Of course I'm not looking to harvest huge amounts either. For that you will have to go photoperiod. If you have space/time constraints Autos are perfect...and yes, I have done non-autos.

As the previous poster stated they will get a little bit bigger outside.

Just ignore the comments about "growing up" it's snobbery and not helpful. Grow what you want to grow and how you want to grow it.

Good luck man. Autos are fun.

I have some autos going at this time also, they are 3 weeks old, I have them on the veg cycle with my other plants 18/6 I was thinking I will run them like this for one month and furt them with veg, I started them in 2 gal pots with coco and perlite, so at the one month point I will acclimate them to the out doors and feed flower furts. hope it works ?? still a little cold in Michigan...........

I'm growing in coco and perlite for the first time and that is where my issues are arising. So I'm planning on going back to promix unless I can fix my issues.

whats wrong with your coco other then the price? and are you using canna? It 's almost impossible to over water that's the one thing I like.

Well my plants are in coco with 25% perlite, I was unaware it should be treated like a hydroponic medium...They are wilting, and look to have some sort of decifiency or look to be overwatered
