Going big with autos, 7 bio disel and 7 Nl auto outdoor smart pots

Hey everyonenim starting a journal on these I am hoping for at least a pound off of these b4 the outdoor season starts 9o days from seed will be the week b4 April first so I can harvest these then plant the next batch for outdoor I am in so cal so the winters r mild hopefully when these autos are in full bud march will be good to me and be sunny I'll have some pics up soon please leave any comments or thoughts I hate boring threads where nobody post. They are about 2 days from seed now in red Dixie cups I burned some small holes in the bottom there in my grow cab under a cfl I bring them outside if it's nice and sunny and over 65 there cfls r on for 24 hrs a day

Next Monday when they get there first 3 leaders or just a good little size I will transplant them into 5 or 10 gallon smart pots any input on what size would be nice too there r going into roots organic potting soil.

here they are not much to look at yet just put them outside for a bit cause oits over 60 and nice and sunny

It's a nice 65 and there in direct sunlight login it gave them a little fitted phd water also very happy I got my grow tent a 2.5x2.5 to go with my grow cab I can get the indoor going perpetual with two flower rooms and a little veg chamber inside the cab I'm going to be busy between the autos and the indoor

Does anybody have any input on what size pots I should use they r going to be fabric pots, I kind of want to push my yield to the limit and shoot for 2 oz a plant this critical raido I just harvested at 91 days from sprout got about 35 grams with cold winter conditions and in a 5 gallon plastic pot and I'm pretty sure is plant had root rot it was always droopy even after I'd let it dry out or give it water
so the pot sizes I was thinking for these new 14 would be at least 10 gallon fabric pots now maney even a 25 but these things are expensive on eBay it's $32 for a 5pack of 10 gallon fabric pots
and soil kind of adds up to.....
14x 10 gallon grow bag is 140 gallons one of those regular like 1.8 cubic ft or whatever bags is about 10 gallons
so thats 14 bags at 12.50 a bag of roots organic soil is 175
if I do 25 gallons it will be
14x25 gallon is 350 that's 35 bags
35x 12.50 is 437
idk if the big 25 gallon pots will be worth the extra 300 dollar investment
any suggestions out there?

Tomorrow and the next day are 66 and 67 and full sun so it will be good tomorrow for the babies
But after that there are two partly cloudy days where the high will be 61 should I just leave them inside under the
cfl for the cloudy days? I want to get them in the final homes some smart pots but I want to wait until I know there will
be a good week of nice clear sunshine and temps over 65 better be soon though ha I know that soon the red cups will not be good to keep them in
thanks for any input guys also I'm still on the fence on which fabric pot now I'm between 5 or 10 gallon ones I've realized 25 was ways over kill ha going with 10 gallons really isnt that expensive so I think might as well

This little rain storm is passing so we should be getting some sun this next week I'll get some pics in 3 or 4 days b4 and after the transplant



Any comments ha.....

first is the seedlings

First is the seedlings, thy are exactly a week today I put soil more up to there leafs to keep them stocky I planted them kind of low in the cup in case they stretched in a couple days they will be going out there 3 leafers are just starting to come out the second leaf set so probley when they all have nice 3 leafers I'll transplant them into there homes outside

400 watt hps? or 400 watts in CFLS?

Looking good on the plant growth those things will start taking off in just a little while.

400 watt hps the bat wing iv got my clones in there now 5 xxx o.g clones in roots organic the temps r kinda hot if the closet door is closed it is 79 but open door it stays a nice 75 so shouldn't be too much of a problem mabey just another smal oscillating fan pointed at the bulb will help

And thanks man the 3 leafers are actually started to spread today I was like damn that was quick ha so those autos might be going out in 2 or 3 days when I get enough money for soil and the smart pots ha

Alright guys and gals so this is going to be a journal of my cab which has the flower part and small veg part veg part has a couple cfls the flower chamber in the cab has a 250 watt on supper lumens
I also just got a tent that's just smaller than 3x3 with a 400 watt batwing reflector in there another flower chamber
so here's the run down
i just put 5 xxx o.g clones in the tent they will begin flower Friday 1/11
the cab is on its 6th week of flower I will harvest them on the 9th week 1/27
once harvested I am going to put two more xxx o.g clones in the cab and begin flower 2/8 to start the perpetual cycle and stager ther tent and cab a month behind each other
as for the auto flower plants in the next couple days they will be transplanted outside into 5 gallon smart pots once they have nice established 3 leafers


Any comments or questions or advice would be much appriciated
pics of the new clones the cab and the autos will be up tommorow, the veg chamber just has the autos in it at night or when it's not nice and sunny so nothing to take pics of in there

the tent with the new babies did some pinching to get them to bush a little and got the fan in there makin em dance ha so they can build up there stems there a little stragily right now but in a couple days that should be fixed, i still plann on flipping to 12/12 on friday

Why 12/12 if they are autos?

what a waste.Dont grow autos if you are 12/12 anyways lol

No no no the autos are the ones in the solo cups those are going outside
the tent ida completly different thing 5 xxx o.g clones that are photo period the cab is also photo period plants that's why the indoor ones are going on a schedule (12/12) or 18/16 when vegging I'm doing perpetual with the indoor
and the only autos are the ones in solo cups that are going outside next week so I can get a march harvest off the autos b4 the real outdoor starts

Get it?

I put is in the auto section cause I didn't realize I was going to add the cab and tent to the thread now it's just kind of everything I'm doing mixed into this thread, not all auto flower plants

THESE ARE THE AUTOS, just at a little over a week

On Tuesday the autos will go outside
from Tuesday and the next 6 days it will be 65f or a little higher so they will be going out
and I just hope that the weather stays pretty nice the spot they will be In will be getting a good amount of sun about
6 hours direct a day more as the sun goes back up as the year goes on
pics will be up of the transplant and there spot Tuesday night
