photos will give you better control over size and shape. I've never grown autos, so I don't know how to predict what they'll do.

I got a 2x4 my first run I did one 7 gallon pot with a photo and she took some room even with LST. So my next I would do 2 5 gallon pots just to save room for dehumidifier and oscillating fan. But with autos I think three 3 gallon pots would be cool, but got to train them young like week 4.

Got ya, but if I only did 2 autos in 3 gallon pots, how would maximize yeild besides lst

Honestly with autos I never dine, but I heard you should really just LST autos. And if theybare well taking care of they will take care of you. I put a auto in a 1 gallon pot under 12 12 with my photo just to see what it would do. And this is day 44.(the first pick is my photo in the back) lol

Hell yeah I'm just gonna run these two I got germed already to be safe, because I think on a 18/6 schedule these might get a little bigger than that possibly. Thx so much for a nice and close comparison

I'd start by growing one for five weeks and at the five week point plant another seed. By the time your first plant is ready to harvest, you can move the next one into its place. Just keep repeating that process and you're all set. LST to your heart's content and if you feel up to it you can work on mainlining. A lot of photo folks will tell you that you can't mainline autos but those photo folks are incorrect. Here's how.. https://www.autoflower.net/forums/threads/mainlining-and-manifolding-autos.71141/ ..Good luck!

There are a lot of myths surrounding autos. Most of those myths may have held some truth at one point in time but autos have come a long way in recent years and most of those myths are no longer true. I highly suggest joining (or at least looking at) the Autoflower Network to get your auto info. Here's another good link from there to get you going.

If you want a super easy auto feeding schedule to go by, I highly suggest going this route. It works wonders with the just the bare essentials.

Do you top your autos? I tried it just to see it was about 2 weeks old about that size and plus I pulled her down and 2 week later she started budding at 4 weeks. This is her day 45, I broke one stalk trying to LST it more but it broke off but still have this.

No I don't top my autos. At least not intentionally. I've had a couple topped when tying them down accidentally. LST is all you need to create massive plants.

I'll for sure let you all know how these bubblegum autos do, one has popped out of soil showing first true leaves, and the other two have cracked but haven't split open out of the soil

That is a beautiful bush, and definitely only lst while I start out, I think I'll experiment with topping autos down the road
