I have being using 15l autopot system for my autos and the plants have being pretty big to be fair . Smallest was a Charlotte angel cbd which gave just under 5oz and the biggest was a barneys farm Pineapple Express at 14 and half oz
Most have come in between 9 and 11 though

Agree with capt on this. I've done autos in a pot noodle cup which gave me 3oz, an auto in a 12l that gave me 8oz and autos in 2l tall pots and they have done 6oz each.
Randomly all look about the same size plant in pics

Interesting topic as I have been asking the same question myself! Also, what kind of pots are ppl using? Fabric Pots, Air Pots or Regular Pots?

I'm testing a 1 gal, 2 gal and 3 gal pot to see which flowers first and which produces the best yields. All are the monkey glue auto strain from Growers Choice. I am using them in rigid wall, plastic pots.

I've heard people claim that autos can start to flower when the tap root hits the bottom of the pot, we shall see here.
That's a great idea! Trying different sizes with the same strain :)

Also a good idea to try the same strain with different pot types! I will try that next time :)
