Alright just wrote this fuckin thing and it got deleted so sorry if this ones low quality. I need a Bottom Line serious opinion from a Professional, I repeat, a pro grower. I pretty much Have to grow somthing this season for personal reasons. I understand its veryy late in the season. In 1 to 2 days i 'might' order about 50 auto pounder n think different. They should come between the 12th n 16th. i plant the day of. The seeds are supposed to be ready from seed in 70-80 days. that brings me to oct 15 harvest. add 2 days cuz the seeds didnt come on time 17th. add 15 cuz the days were short brings me to nov 1. Half a month bumper for even later. average temps for oct, nov, will be 71/61,61/41. Im an average grower, learning everyday. TD says itll yield between 200-350g, pounder almost a pound. If i could get almost 100g pp i will be Happy. Will I Be Able To Pull It off? I want a pro growers opinion on if THEY would be able to

There is no season unless you are growing outside. If that's the case this letter is a waste of time.
Are you saying you need to harvest a crop by a certain date? If so then autos are the way to go.
I don't know about a 50 plant grow though. Have you sat down to figure how many lights you would
need? Need a minimumof 3 lights, I'd guess. you do know the entire grow should keep the lights at 20/4
don't you? Autos don't veg so don't need a light switch.

There are a number of fast autos that advertise to finish in 60 days in dirt. You can speed the grow up by
smart transplanting. You will get bigger, faster and bushier plants if you put the new seedling into a 16 oz. cup
for 2 weeks then into a 4 or 5-inch pot for 2 more weeks. Then finally into the final pot. Final pot should be small
if you want fast. I grew a batch of 60-day wonder autos and used pots just 7 inches square, 3 quarts each. Knocked a few days
off the finish time by keeping them small. With my 1000W light I averaged 22 grams/per using this fast, hot method.
If you want fast go small and TP early and often.

Good luck, BigSteve.

Yea i need 2 grow outside. Im using autos cuz there the only thing that can harvest quick enough. N transplanting 3 different times doesnt really sound like a good idea considering it only has 3 months top to develop. im definately not gonna get what i need out of a 16 oz cup. So the only thing i found useful outa that was if u were saying theres no way to do it outside. which im tryin to figure out. If thats the case then why? cuz of the light cycles themselves. Or cuz of the biological time clock of the plants. If im correct autos shouldnt be affected by the light cycle itself. the only thing i can think of would be the biological factor for the plants starting outside in august. n what im growing wouldnt be the little miniature plants you can step on theyre super crosses that should get around 100 cm high under right conditions.
