Auto flowering advice

Hey everybody, don't post on here much because I use my phone to get on here. Anyway I just harvested my first 9 plants. From seed to harvest it was 72 days. I wish there was an iPhone app for RIU so I could post pictures.
I used Big Buddha Critical mass auto flowering seeds. I yielded 12 ounces and 3.8 grams which I didn't think was bad for my first time.
I now am wanting to try some more this time because I was happy with that yield. So this time around I will use a whole room instead of a tent. I have 75, 5 gallon buckets. Any strain that anyone wants to recommend to me? I feel like I can yield more per plant this time. I was kinda lazy last time about taking care of them. Let my brother help while I was out of town and he barely even watered them so yeah. Ill be using 3, 3000 watt hps lights 1k for each 25. Any help is appreciated! If anyone will let me email my pictures to them I'd love for members to see it and tell me how it looks. I have yet to smoke any I have 4 days left of curing to do!
Thanks!

I pretty much looked right over the Autoflowering sub-forum, whoops my bad!

my 2cents...avoid them...I've done 5 different ones (short stuff seeds blue diesel, onxy auto, super cali haze auto, nl5 auto, white widow auto (dinafem)....hated them all...none besides short stuff actually even auto'ed fully..they're a waste of time

K well what do you recommend then? I'm going to seal this room off also. I definitely am not trying to waste my time.

Anybody have any suggestions on what I should go with next?

Do a little research, get a good regular variety. Sannie, Bodhi, Gage Green Genetics, PeakseedsBC, Mr Nice... just a few to try. The smoke is going to be much higher quality and higher yielding. Keep moms. Get a good veg room.

I recommend Cali Connection beans. You're sure to find an autoflower in every pack!

Um I need more than one. I need 75

I am new on here but I too am at the end of a Big Buddah Critical mass grow and I have 12 oz from 3 plants in 5g buckets in coco with one hole in the bucket about 4" from the bottom. I put filter fabric down first and then filled that area up with hydroton to just above the hole, then 75% coco 25% perlite. That gave me a sort of reservoir for the plants to draw from while allowing the roots to also have the maximum amount of air in the coco. I ran a 1k MH for 3 weeks and the 1k HPS for the rest of the time. I would run nutes in RO water at 5.8ph once then straight RO 5.8ph water for the next two to make sure I didn't let the nutes build up too much. This strain is actually real impressive for an auto. Great Trichs and dense large buds in 65 days! If you did this same strain and gave each one a little more room and set it up like I did you could get a higher yield with less plants. Hit me up if you want. I also did a pineapple express auto from G13 at the same time the same way and got 2.5 oz from that one. I've got a Eurosystems dual 600 ballast that I'm going to run on my next run of 5 PPP fem 12/12 seeds, and (1)UFO#1,(1)UFO#2, and (1)UFO#3. I've also done well with g13 labs OG13, which is basically OG Kush

hey twodef, yeah stitches autos suck anything from shortstuff or flash automatic are terrible copies that were done using incorrect breeding practices, want a good auto try dutchbreed or sweet seeds

i love the good old low #2. ive grown a shit ton of autos the last couple years, maybe 15 different strains and the consistancy and quality is hard to beat for autos. You can grow 25 of them and they will look like clones from the same mother, identical to eachother. i got between 2-3 ounces each outside and about 2 ounces each inside using the advanced line at a ph of 6.5-7. if you have any questions hit me up. Breed for more seeds too. feminised auto are kind of a waste in my opinion. They show sex at like day 10-15 so you can discard males or find you favorite male for breeding in my case . That way growing 75 at a time will be extremely cheep for you minus the electric bill.

i liked easy ryder from low ryder seeds, 60 day wonder from DNA was pretty dank, La diva from delicious was probably my favorite tho. wasnt a high yielder but the taste and high were great. plus it was kinda cute, a very small plant. stay away from barneys farm sweet tooth auto. it was horrible, took forever to grow and the smoke isnt all that great.

Anyone tried dinafem cheese auto or delicious cheese candy auto

Best auto is Auto Blue Mystic from Nirvana. That smoke was such a trippy high and the taste was phenomenal

If you're really going to be growing a full room full of plants, I see no reason whatever to go with autos.

You'll get better yield, not to mention probably better potency and overall quality with some good conventional ceeds.

If you really have a whole room available to you, then you should be able to carve out a small space somewhere for a veg/clone area and run a room of clones. That will dramatically increase your yield and consistency over running from ceed, (let alone auto ceeds).
