That might work as long as they start flowering before they get to 12" tall. I'm not sure about autos. ;)

BTW, IF you got 1g/w you'd have just over 5 ounces or 1/3 lb but I've never heard of high yielding autos so YMMV...

I got 4-5 oz off two Autos I grew earlier in the year. Was a happy camper!

4-5 oz off 2 plants under what kind of lighting in how much grow area?

I looked at the auto wappa specs and it's only about 100g/sqm less than the non-auto so you may very well be able to get 3 in 3 sqf. It should be a learning experience if nothing else. :D

Was under my solarstorm. I was 4-5 oz total off two plants. So about 2oz or so off each. They grew to about 28 - 30 inchs tall by 24 inches wide.

Eeeek :shock: I was hoping they were smaller. If the 2 you grew were 24" wide, I don't see how you'd fit more than 1 in a 3sqf area. Either way you'll figure it out, it's not your first rodeo. :D

At the time those were in my 4x4 tent. So had room there. Those got surprisingly big considering they were in tiny airpots.

Update. About Day 21 22. Girls are about 7 inches now and growing rapidly. Was 5 inches the on Sunday when I measured. I think I will be switching the lights this Sunday. So far robust looking, no issues and stinky! My Korea Perilla leaves are growing rapidly as well. 60 days seed to harvest for those. They are considered a invasive species of plant..thats why I threw some seeds in the woods behind my house. Once they set in you never can get rid of them! 20 years from now I will read about them overtaking the area!

Those look very healthy. I see a little droop but I assume it's because the lights are off. Beautiful...

Thanks Sister! Yea it was from that. I usually take whatever pictures I am going to take when I wake them up if I do. Been doing 20/4 on them..not that much sleep time but saves on the energy bill some which I am trying to lower. Had a expensive one last month!!!

Threw my girls into 12/12 this morning. I have some job training in a few months and will be gone for a week so want plenty of time to harvest without worry. There about 71/2-8 inches now which I think will make for plenty big plants. Only growing for myself.

My OG in the 1 gallon airpot seems to be a little sensitive to nutes vice the other two. A couple spots on some leaves not a big deal though. I will feed her her own nute concoction because of that rather then all from the same jugs.
