New to the Forum, growing since the seventies (outdoors in Bay Area, wonderful weather). Moved to the desert a couple of decades ago. Did my first hydro a year ago so I tried an Auto, Super Silver Haze. Of course there were some challenges but in a 2' x 3' grow cabinet, Kind XL450 I got 7 ounces of manicured bud. I agree with Genetics, genetics, and light.

Why are autoflower yields so terrible?

rugby Hi, I’ve grown 7 auto plants last year. Not great yields, but Not due to them being autos. It was my own doing and experimentation. The last one was grown in a 20”x36” tent under 2 100w quantum panels, with 2 photos all planted at the same time. The auto was a free seed from Seedsman so why not? I tortured that plant with topping, ice water flushing, 36hr darkness before chop. Still I got 1.7 oz of fantastically stinky bud. Yes all the autos have been smaller plants (genetics), but still I few oz even with problems. If you really want help, provide grow info. These GWE people will help. Plus there is a great article by Nebula on how she got great yields from some autos. Don’t give up you will succeed.

Not to sound mean but you may want to give up on Autos and just stay with the Photos. My indoor tent is only 4' tall so I grow Autos and LST them so they won't get too big. Works for me. Happy Farming!Mother Earth Coco/Perlite 70/30
