You are funny hahah cutting clones of autos... I love the pic of Shane early in your thread. Looks great, glad to find your thread and read up. That is some crazy LST you got going on, and a crazy trunk haha I notice your tag name is hydrokid but you are in soil? Haha why away from the hydro...

The plant would have to have a flawless life (extremely difficult) from seed to harvest. You'd also need top line genetics and of course top line equipment. It's doable if every single aspect is optimal but that's hard to achieve on your first grow with no experience in diagnosing cannabis plants.

I rarely say this but I'm going to this once
FLUSH !
Flush your plan and start over before you dedicate time and resources into a failure
Reduce your goals so you can actually attain them and increase bit by bit as you learn
And Auto's are the bane of every first attempt
You can dial in a grow on clones but from seed ...not much of a chance

Yeah. Hate to get on board this bash train. But sorry man those goals are not realistic.
First of...you got your information from the internet.
From personal experience with hydro and dwc every single thing you read and thought you understand is utterly wrong. The internet is 90% awful fuck off bad advice from idiots who think they have a brain.
The environment plays such a huge role in the grow. It is simply not possible to look at what sombody else did...in a different house...with different lights...different strains...etc...and expect the same results.
Your first run you are going to have to change so much to get the environment correct. What you think in your head works does not work in the real world. I know this from personal experience.
It took me 3 grows to get my environment and set up working for what I got and my space.
I have 2 autos going now and do not expect more than 5 ounces per plant. I wanted to try autos and see how they go...see what the hype is and make my own judgment.
I know for a fact I can get over 1lb from my 2x4x7 with photos and a long veg.

Any big grow running autos are most likely joke and will most likely go under. I know I've seen it its why I don't jack with autos.

I just don't understand why anyone would want to grow an auto indoors. Outdoors where it gets cold early, sure. But why indoors? I just don't get it.

They have their place. I will grow 4 of them outdoors this year at my cottage. Last year we had an incredible summer weather wise here in Ontario but the first week of September we were on holidays at our cottage and it poured rain every day and night time temps dropped down to 3deg Celsius. If I had photo's up there it would have ruined them. Now this year I plan on starting 4 auto's indoors early enough to shoot for a mid Aug harvest. That's the only real reason I can see growing them.

Well.. After alot of thought after reading all your comments. I realize that it will be easier to achieve high yield running photos. Since it is my first grow, no matter how much book work ive done the real show will surely provide some level of difficulty. At first I thought it would be way easier to grow pounds per plant with some of the new autoflower strains that people show insanely high yields. Having to learn how to raise photos will take me a few more weeks, and a few more extra months of grow time, but I guess its about the only viable option in terms of harvest size. Early on I found out about autoflowers and just loved the ease in them, but yeah if im willing to spend as much money on a grow, and having my high expectations, the best bet is photos... I must say tho, no one has changed my mind the entire last year. I honestly can say I fell for the hype train of massive easy pounds of 20%+ thc in 3 months or less lol. Thanks guys, feel like my perception widened a bit lol.

Brother, the only difference between growing photos and autos is with auto's you don't have to switch light schedule to make them bud. Photo's are actually easier for a beginner because if you mess them up in veg you can nurse them back to health. Almost all issues with an auto cost you as they are on a timer so to speak. You can also train and top photos which can drastically increase your yield. I think you are making a wise choice changing to photos.

Dude...if that were a thing nobody would be growing photos. Everybody would be growing 1 lb autos in 3 months

Also you are not saving any time with auto's. You can grow out a photo just as quick, the difference is you have control over photos. They normally take longer because people veg them longer and train them for higher yields. They are also lower in THC than their photo counter parts due to being crossed with very low THC Ruderalis to get the auto flowering gene.

Start small and get your hands dirty. You could research for 10 more years on the subject, but you'll learn more in the 4 months during your first grow than all those years combined. You can then focus your research on specific areas that you need to improve, as opposed to the shotgun approach.
All the same rules for life still apply in growing grass. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Beware of hype and trends. Stick to tried and true while you learn about the plant itself. Then start experimenting
Your goal for your first grow, should be to make it through to harvest. Nice and simple. I was given some great advice before my first grow. I was told to just let the plant grow. No training, trimming, topping, etc... This let's you observe how the plant would naturally grow. As you continue growing, you will have a baseline to compare different styles of training to increase yields.

Been doing this since May of 74. Saw all the early auto's and yawned. The biggest growing auto strain is from Dr. Greenthumb - Iranian Autoflower.
While I did play with this when it first came out. I don't care for auto's - Lower THC content is just the starter....They tend to be small, very small.
To get 1.2 lbs from an auto? Nah, I just can't see it for the quality of the resulting yield...
What's the "claimed" auto heavyweight, Northern Lights auto? Indoor says 450-550gp square meter? Gosh, I'll bet you dimes to dollars they run it SOG to get that. They also claim over 5 ft tall for outdoor runs? The Iranians did over that! Funky looking plant too.
Even if you succeed with those Northern Lights. That's a whole shit ton of work for only 14% concentrations of cannabinoids!
Go Photo's and learn to grow. DO NOT believe the nutrient makers claim either dude! No "boosting" or "flushing".....
I like to suggest you grow an African Violet. If you can get that to bloom. You can then grow cannabis.
You don't treat it like a tomato - You'll do better treating it like a tropical

Appreciate all the good advice, yeah I feel victim to all those claims because I was seeing the same types of posts claiming autopounders. Just glad I took everyones advice instead of feeling so defeated lol.

If you think you're going to pull a pound out of a photo on your first run you're going to end up disappointed as well.
Not to rain on your parade. But as others have said, reading how it's done and actually doing is quite a bit harder. It's going to take a combination of research/reading, making errors to learn from, and just overall grow experience. Good luck!
