how long for autos really

I have run autoflowers 10 years 1 month and 13 days, i have run dwarfs that finished in 60 days, my longest 120 days but the average is 70 to 80 days from sprouts
 
the question was presented to help me get a perpetual grow going.

i set up a spread sheet, designed an app that grabs harvest time of autos and the average on the net (of over 20k entries) is 12 weeks. lots longer and shorter, but i needed an average and with the answers here i knew i could not get what i needed.

sprout a seed every three weeks and that did it for what i want in usable product. if they take longer i will have an extra plant for a bit, but as long as it doesnt go to 15 weeks that will work. if it is early there is no issue but wasting space for only a week or two.

i also house the photos in veg there so room is a concern.

if i estimate shorter i might end up with 2 extras which is crowding, or if i estimate longer i would end with wasted space and a poor use of the great lights i have. i have run the models and i think this will work out great.

getting it going is interesting. but at this point i have autos at 7, 4 and 1 week(s) old. so soon i will see if my math works

i plant in 5 gallon bags and 4 seems to be a good tent capacity with all the photos and my pepper and tomato...
