This is the best conversation I've seen to show est yield but it's not for autos and I've never grow them.

As for time to harvest there is a great article in this forum.

^ That. Great article on the 420mag site. It's actually a post by an expert grower. I haven't read the time to harvest article, but looking through it looks to be spot on. I actually used that first article to determine that I was going to veg my plants for 2 months because i only had 2 for sure and 3 maybe females. I ended up with 3 plants and I'm just cut them down and trimmed them and hung them in my 5x5. I'm just about out of room. The link for that is below in my signature.

Autoflowers, I have nothing against them, I actually almost grew that as my first indoor, but the place I ordered from was out of stock of what I wanted, so I went photo-period. I really feel like photo period can be just as fast as auto, much more forgiving if you mess up in the beginning, and you can do a SOG type setup, veg for a couple weeks and flower. I maintain that autoflowers should be reserved for those who have grown photo-periods previously. Autoflowers require very little issues and mistakes in order to show their full potential, and that takes experience.

I thought the same thing, for some reason, I thought autos were MADE for beginners. I was so wrong. It took me a bit to get my soil problems worked out. If I was growing auto, I may have been discouraged and not wanted to dish out money or another set of seeds. Best of luck, happy growing and learning!

Definitely one pound, definitely!
Advertised 500w "equivalent" or "potential for a few minutes if driven at full power" will likely be 100-140w, so that's you down to from around 2oz. Maybe. So many variables to consider. Could be more, could be less, but iirc Lowryder is not exactly known for big yields so be prepared to be disappointed.
Fair enough, its supposedly 270w actual draw, but as a smoker looking at the plant im guessing 3oz, though im not sure what itd weigh once i harvest and dry.

The freebie Autos I've grown have averaged around 3 oz, but I topped them, before I found I was not supposed to!
(I still top them, and I transplant them too, I treat them like normal plants, jmo)

small autos are 1 to 2 oz under good circumstances. Most autos are less in THC than their photo period strain but they have gotten a lot better. Some are actually quite strong.

Some of the big autos can go 4 to 6 oz if grown under perfect conditions.

And seeds are good except if you had a female hermy on you. Then the seeds are mostly herm seeds and will seed up your buds. They taste like shit and give people headaches.

If you cook them with bud for edibles it has no negligible effect except to reduce your yield weight (Because the seeds weigh something and have no strength)

Do autos have less potency than photos? My Critical Blue states potency as (18%) I was under the impression this is good. This is my 1st grow attempt, so I know jack squat for all intents and purposes,

Strain levels can vary from grow to grow and grower to grower. If they were not misleading 18% should be the average. I'm growing what I was told is gg#4 20-25% THC.
