Aw man that sucks - hope it gives her some form of relief!

Southern Scotland mate, I’m sure they’ll do fantastic down there. We live at altitude so our nights are quite cold. So the greenhouse helps in that respect. But even then it’s like 12-15c in there at night.

Would’ve yielded about 2-3oz from one in a 5L pot this summer but the buds got too big and dense and with our temperamental weather got hit by mould :(

This was her before the mould.View attachment 4655175
Thanks Mate, im really proud of my Girlfriend. When we first met 8years or so ago the Docs had her on all sorts of pain killers, she was like a Zombie a lot of the time, but over the years she's weaned herself off of them and now just manages the pain with marijuana and the occasional paracetamol. The difference in her is night and day so now we're looking at 1:1 Cbd strains to see how or if they can also help.

I'm sorry to hear that mould hit that beautiful lady of yours, I've been hit by mould Myself so feel your pain. I've been seeing a lot of Autos grown around various parts of the UK on here so am definitely going to try some next year, it's a bit late now so will stick with my indoor for now. Yours grew pretty big for a 5l pot, impressive.

These are my current ladies, Royal Queen Seeds Fat Banana and Green Gelato. Banana at the front with matching cuttings to the right.

It’s amazing what weed can do to help the pain! All the benefits without the side effects.

Yeah she grew too well 1 survived the whole winter as a seedling lol

Lovely looking ladies! I’m looking forward to autumn to start indoors again.

It is Amazing and I'm not saying it's the miracle cure for everyone's ailments, but i do believe that as adults we should at least be given the opportunity to try it medicinally. Its sad that our laws don't allow for this.

I'm really impressed at how well your lady did outdoors. Autos have come a long way, although I think I'll stick with photos for indoor, but for outdoor next year definitely worth a little investment.

I look forward to seeing your indoor ladies, your outdoor look great so I can imagine your indoor look very nice. Do you use Led? I see a lot of folks on here using Led and makes me feel like I'm a bit behind the times with my Hps that I've been using forever, lol.

Yeah autos for our climate best! Thanks man! Go with the philosophy of less is more and keep it organic haha.

Just a 600mH and HPS. The air cooled hood works perfectly- allowing just enough heat into the tent to keep it 20-26c during the winter.

Here’s a shot from last winter - these plants are a month and 1 week old from breaking the soil - except the smaller one which was a week younger. Love these plant magic organic a - rapid growth!

Lol, will always keep it organic, no Chems for my ladies. Is it Plant Magic Old-timer you're using? I hear good things about it, I use their Plant Magic Soil Supreme, lovely stuff. I've been using a mix of organic amendments and Biobizz for so long now I cant imagine changing, but perhaps I should be a bit more adventurous.

Those indoor girls look lovely and i like the different selection, are they Autos too? Im actually quite looking forward to trying some Autos out next year.

I like the size of your grow area, i really miss a larger grow space and being able to use all of my equipment. I struggle at the moment because I can't run everything I need, but we manage and still get some nice buds.

Hope you've had a Good Monday Mate

Aye old timer - soil is so airy it’s fantastic. Used plagron before with decent results but doesn’t compare to PM.

Yeah they’re autos - use to do photoperiods but running a 2kw heater for 12hrs costs a fair bit. So I run them 20/4. Plus they are a littlequicker than photos and got a decent choice of genetics now.

Aw we could all do with more space - Id convert a whole room if it was legal to do so lol

I've tried a few soils, Plagron, Biobizz, Canna, but for the last 5 years its been Plant Magic. Lovely and airy and for me i like that it doesn't use perlite. I put my used soil on to my Veg and Fruit patch so I like that the Fytocell biodegrades.

Totally understand why you moved to Autos to help save money and you're right, ive been researching recently and there are so many genetics to choose from now, brilliant. I'm thinking of making the move to Led to save on electricity bills a bit, looks a bit of a minefield though so more research needed.

A whole room? I was thinking my whole house, lol.

I'm a new grower who messed up by treating coco as soil, and I wasted 4 weeks of grow time. The plant stayed as a seedling in that time with just 4 baby leaves. Thanks to this site, I've gained some knowledge and advice. Here's my auto 31 days later at Day 56.

Thanks mate. She's a ruderalis Formula One Auto by Dr Ray Seeds. She wouldn't have been so small if I hadn't messed her up in the first 25 days of life! I guess I've learned for next time.

Growing Marijuana is always a learning experience, I've grown indoors for a long time now and each time something new or different happens I try to learn from it. I've not heard of your strain, but I'll keep my fingers crossed all goes well now mate. She's a little beauty.

Thanks, the ChocDawg was from a friend and thd Banana is my own. The Banana is sadly a little early as I had to chop her down due to bud rot, but both are tasting good.

That's a Beautiful Cola and I haven't smoked Malawi in many years. How's she tasting?
ah gutted man :( Not had rot yet in any indoor setup thank god. Always keep my humidity around 35-40%.

It was an auto version by ACE seeds and haven’t tried the original unfortunately but very nice.Tastes like floral, foosty mangoes with a hint of spice. Not very potent but nice lively high than fades into a light stone. Great for smoking all day haha

Hey guys, north west newbie here lol, basically I have a 2ftx2ftx4ft tent I'm gonna put in my bedroom, with a mars hydro ts 600 led panel and I'm gonna grow 1 maybe 2 autos in it at a time, probably 1.

Because i don't want to spend the earth and make a basic set up work for me i want to work with a passive intake and just use a small exhaust fan up top. Given that it's my bedroom and I'm sensitive to sound as it is I don't want to be hearing the fan if possible so I thought either find a 50 cfm or get a 100cfm and a cheap controller and turn it down by 50 percent

This is the tent, the 60x60x120 version:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223979124303

I have my eye on a kenley but dont know if it's any good:https://hydroponics247.co.uk/shop/kenley-4-inch-silent-inline-extractor-duct-fan-for-hydroponics-grow-room-tent-bathroom-kitchen-100m3h/

At a real stretch could I even jam a 4 inch desk fan from Amazon in the hole or even go without a fan all together and just air it out every day or leave all the ducts etc open minus the door and rely on passive air circulation?

Also cheap quiet exhaust fans that would fit my tent are welcome :).
Don't bother with the tent then. Fan & filter necessary imo, and a bit of tights type material over the inlet to keep out the insects.
