Description
First 2×4 run using our test autoflower soil, two Autopots, and about 13–15 gallons of soil each.
They faded hard.
Water-only in the reservoir.
Not a perfect run.
Final weight: 348.3g — 12.29 ounces.
Roughly 7oz on one plant, 5oz on the other.
Years ago, 4oz per plant was a win.
With better genetics, lighting, and environment control, this is solid.
When you break down startup costs, we were around $100–$150 per ounce on the first run.
After that?
You own the gear.
You reuse the soil.
Cost drops fast.
For regular smokers who care about quality, growing your own starts making a lot of sense.
