I haven't not quadlined since I started quadlining lol.
I used to harvest on average at about 80 days (some 70, some 90). Now I'm roughly at 90-110 days.
My quadline post should answer most of your questions, but feel free to ask anything else if it's not in there.
I haven't had any Hermie from quadlining yet. I had one Hermie from mainlining, but that's because one main branch broke off, leaving me with half a plant lol

4 autos enough for 3x3?

Do you quadline all of your autos? I’ve heard some autos don’t deal well with stress and can hermie. How much does the quad lining slow you down? Anything to know specifically, or should I just check out your quadline post in your signature?

I do lol. I've actually never grown a photo lol

You quadline your autos?!? Wow! I didn’t think autos took to that kind of stress well? I’ve got so much to learn.

I stick to 3 autos in 3 gallon pots in my 3*3 tent. I quadline, so sometimes they can get massive. I've found 4 is just a touch too many doing it my way because there is always one plant that tries creeping into anothers space.
On average, my autos yield around 5 oz each, so 10 oz isn't unattainable by any means.
Here's some pics

Hey s62,
by total surprise, I wound up with 2 auto white widows in 5 gallon fabric pots. Could not figure out why they looked different after only 6 weeks of veg. The point is that they are the same size as the photos but since switching to flowering, their buds are getting very large. This photo is 63 days from germination last week and they’ve increased about 30% more. In theory, Had I used 4 in a 3x3, they would just make it.
I was rather disappointed when the discovery was made, But I think they found a soft spot in me, I’ve fallen for them enough to try a bunch of different autos

Absolutely, 12 zips is a good pull from a 3x3 no question about it. At that rate you’re pulling 37 grams per square foot, or a little over a zip and 1/4 per sq/ft., without a doubt, respectable yields, and it was all good smoke. The lower 1/3 of each plant was a bit airy but it smoked just the same as the dense buds. Bag appeal is for sellers, I’m just trying not to be a buyer!!

My thoughts...
1 - bigger buckets for bigger roots,
2 - i've had a fairly long period where water temp was above 23C, so they were affected a little by root rot,
3 - since adding an extra airstone per bucket, roots have grown back by *a lot*
4 - when I checked the far right one (tallest), when putting it back somewhere accidentally it took a little bit of flowering bud (smoking that was nice though, got a nice high off it)
5 - i need a more powerfull light covering a bigger area; current LED is rated for 80x80cm footprint, but as it is i can't complain too much. The space they occupy now would be around 80x80, with the extra room used up by the main res & fan.
i think, if i used soil, i could have gotten another 2, maybe even 5 plants in, but would have been wishing for a better light even more.
overall, they are doing well considering the limitations of light and issues i had with the roots.

At the time I was doing a perpetual auto grow and I pulled a little over 12 oz. from those 4 plants so about 3 oz. per plant. The yields would have been better if I had a light with more penetration, the 400w hps I run just couldn’t reach down far enough.
