Auto-Flowering Strains Outdoors

[kiwihigh]

Hi Everyone, does any one have any experience in growing outdoors with auto-flowering plants,
I'm re-locating to a tropical part of Australia and wanted some info, i notice some strains on my local online seed shop have reduced yields outdoors compared to indoors?

i wanted to grow some autos outside to try beat the wet season

any info will be helpful, on size, grow times, yeild etc would be helpful

They do fairly well almost any where. Indoor outdoor greenhouses. And don't mess with them too much, plant water feed harvest

I was thinking on putting them in 30L rubbish bins and letting them go wild, or is a huge container over kill on auto flowers as they will not use all the space and stay small?

 

[J189RFC]

Bigger the better. I would grow like 4-8 in that size container and weed out the males and they would likely still have lots of room.

what size crop could you expect from say 5 in 30L containers

 

[J189RFC]

5 of my auto blueberries would probably yield 2 oz over all. My Auto Northern lights probably closer to 4. But I feel like that is about the right range for autos. Ourdoors you may get better results. Make sure you plant the seeds right into the bucket. They don't like transplants.

Dont forget to get a grow log going when you are ready to plant!

As i have no experience with auto-flowering variety's, i was expecting a few O's per plant a least? as they will be outdoors in a tropical climate, big pots and lots of sun i would have expected more, Has any one here have experience with Auto's outside?

I have a modest amount of experience with autos outdoors. You can make large harvests happen......first order of business though is to go for some super autos, like BuddhA Magnum, and Dutch Passion has some superb genetics......

If you want min a couple oz a plant, might as well just grow photo(reg) cannabis. Only grow 4-5 instead, cut the males and you will get much better results. Depending what you mean by "wet season" you may just want to wait.

I there
I recently germinated a couple Auto Fem White Widows and three CBD Auto Cheese
This is my first time and I also have many questions
One of the Cheese plants has already started producing flowers at week three and not even 10 cm high?
Am I to expect "dwarf" plants?

I'm also growing a CBD Auto Cheese from CKS. Indoors though (tent). I don't have experience growing this strain, but it's different from what I can see visually. Mine isn't that big at all and I'm not expecting much from her.

Would love to see pictures!
