This is my first grow with a 360 watt HPS with a 16 inch hood. She's an autoflower, 22 days old. I've always grown with CFLs that were 5,000K. And my last auto grow wasn't so successful. Do things look okay so far? I've never had a plant so bushy. Is bushier better because all my CFL grows have been kind of tall and lanky.

Congratulations. Expect your yields to go up. Be mindful of the additional heat being generated.

no wonder 5000 K is almost useless.

The plant is looking fantastic there gopherbuddah, seems to really like the environment as well as the treatment
Keep this up and you will jaw drop your previous yields. She looks like she is a true auto as well.
Has good structure as well as the token bushy trait and thick ass main stem for a little plant.

Keep it up and G/L with the grow

speed and safety with them.

And if you get a chance come show off that beauty they guy will love it.

At 4 weeks my little girl's got her first pistils. Since this is only my second auto, should I change her to a 12/12 cycle or keep her on an 18/6 cycle?
