Exactly my point, you would not be satisfied with anything short of you watching the plant grow yourself(this is the internet and that wont happen) I mean come on a "sponsored" weed GROWING even that is live? HA that is funny but I appreciate your enthusiasm. I am in Colorado and even at events and shops they are weird about having actual weed plants. Have you ever seen something of this nature? A weed growing event that was sponsored some how with hundreds of people?
You see my point, you are being unrealistic I think due to your admitted lack of growing experience and "seeing a couple commercial operations" while visiting your buddy here in CO I don't think gives you the right to question the validity of a weight claim of a very respected member here. There are lots of expert growers here that have been growing for a long time. I have my degree in botany and I have been growing for more than a decade, that is not to say I know everything about weed and growing it but I know my fair share. One thing I do know is what a 2 lb plant looks like and its about 80 to 90 cubic ft, depending on bud density. That is exactly what this plant is, pushing 90.
You see this is one of my areas of passion, I am trying to dispel two myths. A) that autos are small and B) that they are not potent. I have personally grown a plant that was more than a pound and a quarter(3 of them actually) it is documented here on afn, I provided the hyperlink above.
So as stated above dcat grew an almost 600 gram mephisto(which is not supposed to get big) so why would you think that the largest growing auto strain available cant do 1000? I guess what I am asking is what is your basis for saying that is not 1kg of bud? That you have read a lot on the internet or you have seen a couple "commercial" grows? You seem smart and honestly pretty likeable even though we seem to disagree about this, so with that in mind ask yourself this. How many 2 pound plants have I grown? Or even how many 2 lb plants have I seen someone else grow(in real life) you may say lots but you know that you probably have never seen even one. So if you have never grown one or seen one in real life how you you say what one looks like. If all you have seen is pictures on the internet, all of them could have been manipulated so your paradigm is askew.
Just trust us that have been doing this a long time, this plant is the gold standard as far as a lot of folks are concerned. It is the example I show folks who are haters, doubters and disbelievers. I hope I am not coming off as rude or an ass, I just really really take this specific topic very very seriously
