New Grower Looking for commercial auto strain!

[Soylent Green]

Last night I had some discussion going on between some friends!
Nowadays where I live most of the people only want to smoke the high potent cannabis variants! Specially strong haze is popular around here!

So been asking myself what would be the strongest most yielding autos we have?
In other word one of my friends wanna give it a try, but only under certain conditions!

My GUESS would be a TD for yield, looking through hundreds of journals on various forums, they always seem to surprise growers..

Be interested to know from more experienced growers on their experiences though

Many aspects should be considered, when growing commercial crop. Since I am going towards it, I will explain you my way of thinking, maybe will help someone to see things in more productive way as he used to.

Besides management of plant (The strain should be carefully chosen and must be high yielding, potent and resilient as much as possible) at least next are important:

- management of time (Commercial grower should think about time he spends on breeding specific plant and how fast it is to achieve desired result. If you have plant with 30g in 80 days, you would prefere that one with 40g in 85 days but not that one with 35g in 110 days despite it yields more.)

- management of space (Commercial grower should think not only what he breeds, how much it gives in time but also about how much he gets from particular area. Space is almost everybodies concern. And it costs, must be covered with lights-I consider lights as part of "space" problem. Here we have a simple question. How many plants in my closet give me the best yield in space/time? 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...? Plants that have abundance of resources always give more but do we really get the most out of them if growing 2 instead of 4, for example?)

- choosing the most efficient use of available resources. This one I want to develop myself. I think there are a lot of reserves inside our growing facilities. For example, we start with 2 lights and 8 plants. At the beginning there is abundance of light and at the end putting two more lights in would be very fine. Why not having 2 x 14 days, 2 x 35 days, 2 x55 days and 2 x 75 days old plants in the same place? Smaller plants and bigger plants allow same lighting regime and distance from the light could be adjusted anytime, as well as position of plants).

I hope you get the idea what I think.

Of course, there is a big problem with all above. Any measurements that you do not do yourself in your very particular place are nice piece of information but might be totally wrong for you.

I agree with you. There are sooo many strains. More by the minute. I would also like to know what you guys think is the awesome balance potency and production?

Autos don't really work well in commercial grows, which is why most commercial growers grow photos. Just the electric savings running 12 hours a day compared to 18 or 20 can make a huge difference when a lot of lights are involved as would be in a commercial grow. With a separate veg area a good commercial grower can turn over his flowering room every 8-9 weeks, compared to 10-12 for most auto strains.

Yeah dude.that's a good point. So muddy what would you suggest for real stony and big rock buds in auto?

I've 2 friends in Spain that have grown a lot and I mean A LOT of Auto X this year but that was outdoor.

Was defiantly a big yielding auto but i didnt rate the smoke too high. Every plant though did produce more than an oz on each. I think dinafems critical jack is a better smoke though and i always hit more than an oz from those aswell. For me critical jack is the best auto.


Just over 3oz from that plant alone. Havent beaten that and i done no training.

I would say try sweet seeds fast version. The green poison takes 6weeks flower. If you get a veg room aswell you can grow some autos while vegging. Get those plants huge and then shove them into flower and in 6weeks you will have smoke which imo smells better than autos i have grown. Can also take cuttings and saves money on the leccy like has been mentioned.

Depends on if you're looking for medical or recreational. For medical it's the Dragons. Duurty, Stone, they produce well and are top notch medicine. Also White Sirius. For recreational Mi5 is still one of the most potent and best yielding. I also like the whole World of Seeds line, Pakistani, Mango, Sweet Coffee and Afghan Kush. They may not be the highest yields but very potent. Of course, I haven't grown everything out there.
