There's a lot of info on how people where going to grow these auto's throughout the thread. What would you like us to include in our posts?

Well with the pictures it would be nice to have some basic info like lights, ferts, medium, ph, etc....that way people could compare things...I mean it is a comparison grow....otherwise it just looks like a bunch of nice pictures...

Basically are people keeping complete records for this comparison grow? or in the end will it just be a bunch of pictures without much info regarding what and how they got to that point?

I mean nothing wrong with pictures...but basic info would help a lot.

My Setup for this grow.
2.5'x4'x5' IPower Grow tent.
2 MarsHydro 600 Led Grow Lights (278+/- Watts Each).
4in Inline VenTech Fan/Carbon filter.(190CFM)
VenTech Fan Speed Controller.
2-6inch clip on fans for air circulation.
Lux Win100 Heating&Cooling Programmable Outlet Thermostat. (Controls temps via the inline fan).
Gurin Small Dehumidifier (Used later in flower).
FFOF Soil. 60%FFOF/40%Perlite.
Mycos when the seed is planted.
3-3 Gallon Smart Pots.
GH Flora Series. (3 Part). (Started on week 3 above ground).
GH Rapid Start for the 1st few weeks.
1/2 tsp Liquid Seaweed per gallon of water in between feedings.
2ml Silica Blast once a week. (Starting at week 3 above ground).
1/2 tsp of Cal/Mag Plus (Starting on Week 3 above ground). Once a week.
Ph to 6.5-6.8 (Everything).
First feeding was October 9th @ 1/4 Strength (GH Flora Series). Drain to waste. 10-20% Run off.
Seeds started in their final 3 gallon pots.
Think that pretty much sums it up for now.

I am so, really, very, happy to report that my two Skywalkers have popped! I'll post pics at a later date to summarize what has happened in the past few days or so up to this point. The pics should pretty much explain what and how things developed. So, my comparison within this comparison should be a go. The Rx Green Solutions will be in a black five gallon smart pot and the Dutch Pro will be in a blue five gallon smart pot.

Oh, and just to keep some people happy:

My setup:
3'x3'x6.5' Hydrohut Silver Edition grow tent

A really beat up used 8" cool tube purchased from a individual from CL, with a 400 watt Xtrasun Metal Halide for veg and a 400 watt Plantmax HPS for flower. Cool tube will be ~three feet away from the seedlings so leaving it on 100% power to see how it grows. If there is any indication of burning from the light, I will dial the ballast down appropriately.

6" VTX 600 Vortex fan with a cfm of 449 with fan controller set at 75%

6" Phresh air scrubber with a cfm of 550 (free with purchase of the fan from the same CL seller)

1 6" clip fan for ventilation

~75% coco ~25% perlite/vermiculite

Blue five gallon smart pot will get Dutch Pro base nutes only and Recharge every other week to substitute for Dutch Pro's Multitotal and might foliar feed with Seaplex, but undecided yet

Black(ish) five gallon smart pot will get Rx Green Solutions nutes (Grow, Bloom, Root and Axiom only)

Target for ph is: 6.0

Seedlings will get straight ph'd water for the first two weeks and then veg nutes will be introduced at half strength for the first feeding and then full strength thereafter throughout the grow.

All subsequent entries beyond this point may only be pics with a short description of what is going on with my grow just to keep everyone updated.
