Hi Weed Pharma...Here in sunny, newly recreational, California as medical marijuana people, my wife and I can grow a total of 24 plants with 12 vegging and 12 flowering. I plant 12 autos and 12 fems in the spring (outdoors with the fems in 10 gallon pots and the autos in 5s). The autos are usually done by the time my fems start to flower. I use minimal organic nutrients on all my plants. I have grown 30 plus different autos in the last 3 years and haven't been much impressed by any of them. Yield is miniscule compared to my other plants and I personally haven't found any auto plant to be as stony as its regular or feminized counterpart. Most autos I've grown have probably yielded at most 1 1/2 oz.of prime bud. I turn almost all of my autos into hash because I just don't like them much. They make okay hash though. I grew an almost pure auto sativa this year...Flash Seeds Jamaican Berry...it yielded almost 4 ounces of bud but it took 7 months to finish. Having said all that, I'm sure that my growing methods are used by few and that with an indoor grow with good lights and massive levels of chemical nutrients you will have decent yields. If I were forced to grow indoors under lights I believe I would grow feminized photoperiod seeds and control flowering by length of light cycle. This would take more time than an auto grow with lights on 24/7 but, in my opinion, would give you superior results.
I don't know anyone who grows indoors and I only use lights to start my plants in the spring. Friends, who all grow outdoors in the ground, generally average well over a pound per plant. I average somewhere between 6 and 9 ounces per plant. This year my fems gave me almost 6 lbs. of prime bud, my autos less than a pound. All but the Jamaican Berry going into the hash pile.
Having said all that for background, here are the only autos I'll ever grow again, in no particular order. All were tasty, got me high, and were good yielders, for autos.
Jamaican Berry I liked best of all, but I had feminized indicas that finished before it did. Almost 7 months for 3 1/2 oz. Good flavor, nice sativa stone
I also recommend Mexican Air Force, Euforia, and Blue Pyramid autos as good yielders in a short time that taste great and get you pretty high. The Blue Pyramid never turned blue but each bud, upon trimming, turned out to be 3 smaller buds all on the same stem. Never saw anything like it.
Sorry to run on, hope some of this is useful to you. Good luck with your next grow Weed Pharma.
P.S. I tried to upload a photo of my Jamaican Berry but every time I try I get a box that says "Upload failed because the extension does not match the content." Don't know why, it's a jpg.
