I ended up getting five and a half ounces, and a few grams of hash. I had several fall to mites, and transplanting definitely stunts them. I ran the whole thing again using just the bread containers all the way, and doubled the harvest. I'm good for now, but the next time I grow I will pay more attention to the under growth. I think better pruning, and less plants would produce a more even canopy and better growth.
As for the smoke: Ak is by far my favorite auto. Heavy yield, vigorous growth, and a sativa high. The lr2 is my fave indica auto. Unique flavor, good potency, and the same vigor of the ak. The Snowryder was a fruity dream, but I got scared of the genetics when a pack of regular seeds produced eight females, a dud, and a hermi. But the smoke was killer. Great white shark is a strong hybrid auto that has such a smooth flavor. Good potency, good growth, but I got a bunch of phenos out of ten seeds. I had four females, and three different growth patterns. However, all the flowers tasted the same. I like the buddha white dwarf fems also. Tallest of all the plants in both grows. I think these would crush the ak's in yield under a 1000w hps, but under my 150's they were about even. Strong skunky flavor, definitely a hybrid, despite the heavy high, 'cause this stuff makes me paranoid except at bed time. The diesel ryders looked like they could've matched the yield of the ak's also, but I got two plants from a pheno that looked like a tennis ball on the end of a pencil. The other phenos were nice though. The smoke was good and strong.
