ok my question is,what is a good strain too start with? Im going too grow indoors so i was looking for easy with good yield.

Mi5 is a good first grow I believe, however, if I were you, I would take a look at the autoflowers of the month contest and choose based on which one really speaks to you. Of course, these are special plants that have good genetics and growers, but it's a start.

Big Buddha Automatics. Very easy to grow (relatively speaking).. pretty decent yields (I'm about to get an est 5oz off of 2) they taste delicious and are my favourite all-time smoke.. not just auto.
That's my vote.. but you'll get lots of other great recs to choose from.

I've found that the best combination of yield, potency, and ease of growing have come from Stich's strains (Short Stuff Seedbank). I've grown Auto Assassin and Russian Rocket Fuel previously, and I have 2 Snowryders in flower right now. Tried a couple of Mi5 also but I've only gotten males, though they were healthy and lush before I chopped them. All these strains grew quickly without any deficiencies or special nute needs, and the finished product is excellent. Out of the dozen or so strains in my stash, both AA and RRF are among the favorites depending on whether I want sativa or indica dominant meds. Very beginner friendly & they'll make you look like an expert grower.

2.5 a plant is easily achievable with the right environment & equipment. My first Automatics yielded just over an oz each but they've been steadily increasing the more I learn about growing. I found that getting the temps/humidity/light balance is the real yield producer in my groom. But that's something I've only recently achieved.
They're just regular autos so you can have them on any light regime you wish. I prefer 24/7 these days. Seems to reduce stretching and speeds up growth a lot in my opinion.
In hydro and with some LST I reckon I could get 5 oz a plant. I'm certain of that. Then again, many other auto strains beat these hands down on yield, like Maxi Gom or Critical Mass.
Also, the MI5 seems to be very, very highly rated around this forum so don't pass up the opportunity to look into that strain.
This is them. They could have been SO much more, too. They started off life under a 12/12 regime in my photo tent.. so they stretched a lot.. and they've also had a nute overdose a while back, both of those things really knocked out a lot of yield.. but they pulled through ok and now they're under a 400w MH or a 600w Dual Spec bulb (I alternate depending on ambient temps) and are producing some really dense nugs and colas. Big isn't always better as it's the dense weight that we're after really.
Now I've worked out the maximum feed for that strain I'm gonna smash those easy next time.
2nd edit: I've just realised that a week ago I estimated their yield between 1.1.5 oz but they're packing on weight in their last coupla weeks. I may be overestimating it at 5 between them, maybe 3.5-4 but it's my best guess going on past exprience.
