estimated yield?

Push them for 2 weeks. Seed Breeder harvest estimates are a guide ( for optimal grow conditions ) , therefore " REAL WORLD " harvest comes in later weeks. I have grown many AUTO strains that really don't fully mature by said harvest times.

Certain " 60 day " strains end up ripening around day 75. Autos also will yellow on their own when they reach the end of their life cycle. This completely normal and is NOT a deficiency. Stay the course and allow the to fatten and ripen.

As far as yield , remember your wet , cut weight is gonna be different than DRY weight.
Average AUTO yields come in between 300 - 600 grams , but if LST plants early that number will go up a lot. Yes AUTOS can give you that much smoke , BUT ONLY IF LET THEM PEAK. You can also partial harvest your plant to allow a little more ripening to those lower smaller buds.

Here is a blue star AUTO ( mid branch buds and lower NUGS ) -
Breeder ( 70 day ) estimate - actual day 80

500 grams ( plus 92 gram cola ) : this is harvested weight.
Once cured , finish weight gonna drop a bit.

I seen many arguments pertaining to early harvesting to get lower bud sites some light. So are you saying its something to look into or to go ahead and so it?

Don't harvest early, just harvest the parts that are done, and let the lower parts continue to mature before you finish chopping the entire plant. If you do that you will get better quality buds from the lower part of the plant...you might even increase your yield to about 16oz.

What is your growing container size? that will depend on your yield/s. Would not use anything smaller than a 10 gallon container

Hate to be a dick, but you asked the wrong question pal. Newer growers ask this a lot, and always seem to wanna follow the harvest times the breeder says. But hey, we live and learn. Good luck with whatever you pull off em!

Bigger roots bigger plant bigger buds, in ten gals you may net a pound in ideal conditions but the five seems more logical for your setup welcome to riu you will be pounding in no time

Yeah I use those homer buckets from Home Depot.. They are ideal for me with training because you can put a little feeler bit through easily and use it to tie down the plant. Also they say 'let's do this' on them which is encouraging
