What Kind of yield dry weight can I expect from Autoflowers Fems?
What Kind of yield dry weight can I expect from Fem Photoperiods?

I should add that this will be an Indoor Grow, in a 24x24x55 tent, with a 150w Mars Hydro Led and grown in Soil.

I know this can vary wildly from grow to grow, so just a rough guess is all. If it helps My seeds will mostly likely be coming from the 2 dollar seed menu on North Atlantic seed company or a couple strains from Royal Queen Seeds. I get that Genetics are important and you want good seeds and good Genetics, but this will be my first grow and honestly, I cant justify 100 for 3 seeds on my first grow where im very likely to make a ton of mistakes. If I kill a 2 dollar seed, Ok that sucked but ill get over it, however if I kill a 33.33 dollar seed,I am gonna be beyond pissed off. I am not against higher cost great genetics seeds Later down the line once I know what im doing, but for a first few grows, it doesnt really make sense to risk it, at least to me.

Here are the strains Im getting:

Mexican Red Hair Auto Fem
Gazzurple S1 Fem Photo
Critical Purple Auto Fem
Dirty Bird FREEBIE - Black Phoenix v2 Fem Photo(The Freebie is likely worth more than my whole order lol)

The MAYBE getting Seeds from Royal Queen are:


Chocolate Haze
Green Crack Punch





Now I am aware that these may not be the "Legit Version" of the Strain and May just be White lable knock offs of the original, And with my Budget Limit and the fact that I have to buy EVERYTHING lights,tent,fans, etc I dont have much of a choice but to be cool with some cheap seeds to start out.

Honestly,I am only growing because my state just went Legal and I am hoping after being in constant pain for 25 years plus that I might actually get some relief finally. I have Fibro and Dont work due to constant pain(no pity, it is what it is, its the hand I was dealt.) So, My budget is limited to what my dad is kind enough to give me to get me up and running. So that is the whole story in a nutshell, just looking for a guess on what I can roughly expect yield wise.

Anyway, Ball park on the dry weight yields anyone?

with auto flowers you get a much smaller yield in general, the longer a plant stays in veg the bigger the end result. auto's.....well automatically switch to flower phase based on age unlike a photo that i can veg for 6 weeks to make into a monster. it vegg's for longer so produces more branches with more budsites.
autos finish so much faster mainly cause of this, (IMO dont roast me. teach me)
how you grow it affects the outcome as well, some of these dudes on here get like 2 grams+ per watt of lighting. its nuts. i cant compare to them so i dont try to but i sure fuckin learn from em lol.
autos you can keep the light on 24/7 if you want
photo's NEED specific timers.
hydro grows faster, soil is more forgiving to learn with as the soil naturally gives you time to fix errors. hydro ( which im just learning and by NO MEANS worth listening to in general) ive heard of people losing entire crops in the course of a night. mess up ph badly once and bye bye apparently. soil you can flush and start over sort of.
the lights and nutrients are huge inputs to determine weight too. allegedly hydro grows faster than soil ( cause roots get more food?) and yields a little better than soil. also allegedly organic super soil tastes the best and has the least amount of work after initial setup and cook of the soil, then apparently you just add water and tea's to feed with untill harvest. seems a beautiful way but i messed up my soil.
no ones gonna really be able to tell you what to expect from a harvest tho, other than about 10 lbs per plant lol jkjk

Yeah, I figured the yield on autos would be lower just cause you have no control on when they flip, but they will let me work on the process, learn my soil, when to water, when to feed, and make my mistakes on the cheap seeds before I try photos.

I've had autos throw as little as an ounce and one monster auto that threw almost 6 oz. I know "fish tales" right? I've found planter size to be a large factor with Autos, up to about the 5 gallon size with my experience. My average is about a QP per auto plant in 5 gallon grow bags. i should mention that I have 2 tents so space generally isn't a factor for me.

3.5 oz if all goes well. Maybe you should practice germinating really cheap seeds. Not even mj. Like lettuce to practice.

Oh that part I know well, I am a gardener and grow food every year, I have got 20 year old tomato seeds to germinate and grow huge and produce a ton of tomatoes. I am not worried on the germination part, I have a ton of tricks for that, My best one ill share right now, Put about 1 ml of Humic Acid in your soak water or if your doing spray on a paper towel, about 1ml per ounce of water, I hit at least a 95% germination rate this way at the lowest, normally more like 98% to 99% some times even 100% with food crops anyway.

I will have one 24x24x55 inch tent, and my container will be a 5g bucket with a bunch of drainage holes in the bottom.

After you hang your light, you have under 4' of vertical grow space in a 55" tall tent. May take some serious training to keep the plant from growing up into the light. Food for thought.

I figured I would have to trim or top the photos, and figure something out with the autos. Tips on how to train them?

The more training you do, the bushier they'll get, which can quickly become an issue if you're trying to cram a lot of plants in there. I think most would probably only put a single plant in a 2x2. Top it low and often; hang a trellis net over it and see how many squares you can fill.

How many are you figuring on at one time? If you're intending to do 4+, just a sea of green type deal is probably your best bet. But you'd probably have to flip fairly early so mixing photos and autos could be problematic.

Nah Knowing how much they can average on an outside grow, it doesnt sound like a fish tale that an expierenced grower could have a great run and hit 6 ounces indoors. Now if you tried to tell me you NEVER got less than 6ounces inside I might think that was a fish tale lmao
