Ill be experimenting sometime in the next couple of weeks with the same grow method, less water(lol), but with auto-flowers. 1200w auto grow? Does the standard gram per watt still apply if doing it with autos?

i made sure to probe the bottom as well, btw.

Sadly Canon, they are. :( I agree that they are water logged. I thought they would drain easily or the heat would ensue plenty of evaporation after they were watered. Dead wrong. Thats not even the worst as of today. I received a notice from my apartment complex that they are doing fire...

Thanks for all the tips, guys! Im slowly letting all that info sink in. I did aerate the soil yesterday by shoving a 1/4" plastic rod in and out of the soil, all around the plant, tried not to get too close to the stem tho. And watered each 2 cups. Here are the girls yesterday.

Thank you, Thundercat! I just watered yesterday, 2 cups each, after 6 days of no watering. I watered because they were showing signs that i needed to, such as drooping of the leaves.

Cmon guys, need some good advice here.

What would my outcome be if i all the sudden switched to flowering with 1200 w HPS? What would my yield look like, what would the plant look like? Would it resemble an autoflower strain with one massive cola?

Could it be the seeds? The only factor i can come up with is when my temps go a little crazy, that delays them from growing steadily.

Since posting an update on the 6th, the girls have grown about an inch and a half.

I should have watered today but i am going to wait until the plants start to droop a little, just so i know all the stagnant water has been used before watering. Good idea?

No they arent on concrete. Idk what the temps are in the root zone. Temps vary drastically mostly because of the texas weather, as my passive intake is comin straight from outside, facing the north. Sometimes we'll have 25+ mph north winds and ill have to take the duct out of the tent so it...

Question: What do you all think about using MH for veg vs. HPS, and vise versa? My first grows seemed to be more progressive as far as the veg stage when using HPS, as opposed to my grow now using MH. When i was refreshing for this current grow, i read that MH was better for veg. I feel like...

I prefer to grow organic with a soil recipe that ive used in the past. I will only add nutes when i start to see deficiency, which will most likely be in the last leg of the flowering stage. Figuring out potential yield is just math. My first grow ever, i reached .78g/watt. I am not vegging with...

Thats great news! This is my first grow with this setup. expecting 2.5lbs tho

Today is Day 45 since they were seedlings. I took your advice and am watering every 4-5 days, 4 cups each. They seem to like that better. Should i expect another 45 days from here? This is taking forever it seems. They MIGHT be growing an inch every 4-6 days... Sry the pics are sideways

How much longer do you think for veg? i started training the 25th. :leaf:

Only problem is the bolting part. Without being able to bolt the center down, the lazy susana would not work. i was thinking of something that could turn within itself. Like a merch rack contraption. Heavy duty plastic full circle one hollow so a slightly smaller full circle can fit. With...

Ok i raised the light 2 ft. Giving about 3-3.5 ft from plants. I also propped each bucket up to allow airflow underneath. Thinking of sticking numerous straws about 6" into soil to aid in O2 flow to roots. Also toying with the idea of building a turn table for all the plants to sit on. This...

So my girls are a little slow considering this is their 19th day of veg, but im assuming thats just from the extreme temp fluctuations i had early on. However, my temps have been really consistent the last week or so, as well as humidity. Ive noticed a little new growth and all have healthy...

Prawn, you da man! I plan on going 24 hours today and try to dial the 2nd HID in. Heres what im thinkin: Start by putting in another 6" exhaust fan (my intake), but leave the duct to have a passive flow of outside air while 2 6" fans are exhausting. Then start to tinker with the 2nd HID. Start...
