I don't know what to do, but I'm excited and eager and reading everything I can get my hands on. This is really important to me, because my financial situation... I either buy my medicine, or buy groceries, you know? I'm tired of going hungry, so it's time to grow my own medication.

Am I ready, though? I don't want to mess up my plants, I don't want to do this wrong. I want to do everything right. Anything worth doing, is worth doing well.

I just... I want to have a flower I can hold up and say "I did this for myself."
Yes Nevada does. Vegas My friend... Vegas. They have a crap load actually but back to your post.
Auto's are amazing and a pain in the ass all together. They can be great In a pinch when you need meds to supply you till the main harvest.
Old Mac is about right. 1oz dried is about the most you will pull. Have I pulled more out of a Auto? Yep. Was it AMAZING?! Yep, how? Dirt...Outdoors? Nope. 20/4? nope 18/6 with 3 Gal pots in 3rd Gen Organic soil. They were done TLO and Came out amazing under 600W @ 1.5oz's each.One did 2 (Red Dwarf actually lol)... Light light Nutrients is the key to big Auto's. And you have to treat it like a flowering plant. This is the mistake I see many new to Auto growers do. 1.Small pots 2. Wrong Nutes.... Treat it like you would a full sized flowering plant. weeks 1-2 it gets Veg nutes in light doses.Once you hit 3rd true set of leaves (Not baby, not 1st set AKA sugar leaves)Weeks 3-finish(I grow both A.Indica and Sativa) see flowering Nutes and by that I use Tea. Hell I did a 1.4Oz Home depo grow with a 3 CFL bulbs in a old TV stand with a 4 Gal pot with "Organic" Nutriets fromFox Farms with a friend...He was in a pinch like you and needed some meds fast and cheap. for under 100 bucks I got em what he needed to last till he got more change. He now averages 7ozs in a Ikea Closet I set up for em with Soil and still crappy "Organic" Nutrients lol. Just training and skill with soil man. I use TLO for All my grows and I have personally seen TLO auto VS synthetic Auto's (Soil). I have never tried Hydro Auto's so I can't say.
